A lot of work goes into improving a website's rank on search engines, and most of the tasks that are performed to realize that goal take a lot of time and a lot of energy. Along with those big time consuming tasks, though, there are a few small, quick things that can be done that can go a long way toward getting your site to the top. These tasks are ongoing, and can be accomplished within an hour a day.

All of these tasks actually deal with 'off the page' factors, and focus primarily on inbound links and generating traffic. Since that's the goal of all SEO campaigns, these tasks are a natural fit into any plan to reach it.

One of these 'hour a day' tasks is contacting other websites requesting inbound links. In return, there could be some form of payment negotiated or you could return the favor, linking their site from yours. While link swapping can be useful, it should be known that they can have a negative effect if overused. This is thanks to spammers abusing this method of traffic generation in the early days of the Internet. Trading links with a site known by search engines can also have a negative impact on your SEO efforts, but such sites are usually very easy to recognize. As long as you pay attention to who you're dealing with, this potential pitfall can be easily avoided.

You should know that receiving inbound links from sites related to your field of business or study can be worth much more than others. This is due to search engines viewing such links as a 'vote of confidence' from individuals who would know, and these engines will likely raise your page rank much faster.

Having your website listed in several directories is also a good idea, as directory links can increase traffic and raise you search engine rank fairly quickly. With directories available on the Web for every subject imaginable today, there is no shortage of potential inbound links you can generate with a little effort an hour a day.

Getting blogs to link to your website is also a task that can be performed briefly each day. This task, like the others mentioned above, can bring rich reward - even more so if the blog regularly covers subjects related to your website.

These tasks can fit into almost any schedule, and the potential benefits of such tasks are worth the hour a day you can spend performing them. Not only are such tasks an efficient use of time and money, but the continuing positive results can be an encouragement to yourself and keep you in positive standing with management, as increasing website traffic is what your boss is paying you for in the first place.
