Many high skilled freelancers in the field of internet business and web development don’t give importance to SEO. For them SEO is just a dirty online marketing technique and a waste of time. Some of them are just concerned to the final output of their web site, others are totally no idea about SEO. Some of them can even produce fantastic websites but didn't receive the deserved exposure for their site. and others are too busy in web client hunting. But, if little care is taken it is easy to get targeted website traffic.

According to me SEO is not only getting rank for keywords but apart from ranking your objective should be "Conversion" getting "Sales"

SEO Steps to get targeted website traffic:

1. Understanding Business.

What is your business all about

How is it going to Operate?

Target audience (Global/Local)

2. Target Keywords.

This is something that will directly reflect your efforts (targeting wrong keyword will get all your efforts in vain)

3. WEB Designing.

*This is something all seo do in their style; some do not emphasis more on 1st point (according to me which is very important) & shoot up with 3rd step then 2nd & 4th.

5. Directories

More the submission to directories more the chance to rank top for targeted keyword

6. Link Building

This is very important and it can get you lot of traffic.

If SEO rules and techniques are properly done, it will produce a great result. Even looking for web clients is like counting one, two, three. Since traffic expert will make your site high in Search Engine Result Page (SERP), potential clients will come to you automatically!

Not just looking for clients will be made easy but also applying or hiring seo as a part of your freelance services, would be a great another source of income. But before applying SEO. You must set your goals! You must set your target keywords and must know your target audience. Studying the most common search engine keywords and studying your competitor’s techniques is a must. SEO is easy but requires a lot of patience because the result of your work is always based on the Search Engines behavior and the behavior of your competitors.

Hire traffic experts to take a site that has been built, and is showing nowhere on the internet, and with a few months work (depending on industry and chosen keywords) will be able to get your business web site into a position where hundreds, even thousands of people will see your site for relevant keywords. If you are successful in gaining a prominent position in the major search engines for your key terms then your can potentially make thousands of pounds. So, It’s not really hard to get targeted website traffic.
