I just put my site up. http://www.houchinsdesigns.com This is my site for my business to build and design web sites and more. I am not getting any traffic. I already have META tags in my site so that’s not the problem. Also when I go to google and search for my site nothing comes up

Horaayy..there are 4 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Well dude,
Begin by getting free classifieds locally. Use kijijji, oodle, craigslist. After that Go to dmoz.com and list your business there. That’s all free.
Make sure your keywords are in the beginning of your title and close to the front in your metatags or description of your site.
You need to add some good quality content to your site, google loves that. Also give it some time, it can take awhile to get your site any rankings! Not to mention, there are other ways to get some traffic. Social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc. You could try online forums and leave your link, but don’t get carried away because it will be seen as spam. You could write some articles for ezines and then have them sent out by a directory. Another idea is adwords, but it would cost you some money to advertise.
Good luck!
To get people to go to your website effectively, you have two options, spend time or spend money.
For gaining traffic to your website without cost, you will be looking at some time being spent.
Back links are very important and can arguably be the best way to increase your website exposure. Effective back links are one way links (meaning not a link exchange) from other websites to yours. For example, had you put a link to your website in your question, you would have created a back link as yahoo instantly indexes the Q&A section of their website. Even Google picks it up. You can build back links in placing your url in ads such as craigslist, creating or comenting on blogs on wordpress and myspace as well as other blogging websites. These are all methods that give you white hat back links.
Caution: do not pay for your back links through back linking companies. This is considered black hat SEO and will actually drop your ranking or get you suspended all together from the big boys of search engines.
As far as paid methods, look at pay per click as a great option. PPC is the process of advertising your business on a search engine within the sponsored results. You choose what keyword phrases you are willing to pay for being in, I.e. Website design.For cost effectiveness, consider narrowing your results as much as possible. For example, Sacramento website design instead of website design would be a more focused result and would by proxy cost much less than the broad term.
SIA Professional Services has an articles section in their website which has a ton of website marketing tips that should help you at just go to their blog or their articles section.
Be sure you are submitting your website on a regular basis, especially whenever you are doing some good updates on your site. The search engines will see your site being updated on a regular basis and index you accordingly. There are some free submission sites, but I have seen in my experience that those don’t nearly perform as well on a regular basis as professional SEO and marketing companies.
There is plenty more that you can do, but hopefully this give you a good starting point.
Good Luck and hope this helps
