how do I increase search engine optimization?

Initially, all small businesses (one the web and beyond) have limited financial resources to expensive SEO contracts and ads. Any tips from users to bump up web hits?

Getting more hits to your website will cost you one way or the other. Either time or money. Methods such as banner ads, pay per click ads and ezine ads will cost you money while methods such as article marketing, forum marketing and classified ads will cost you time.
