Free Rider Web Hosting announced the launch of Traffic Blazer, a new service that allows customers to optimize their web sites to help get higher rankings in search engine results. Traffic Blazer, which costs from $29.95 per year, looks at several aspects of the web site, including the use of keywords, frame and Flash usage, and whether the web site can be read by search engine spiders.

Traffic Blazer also helps customers to submit their web site to search engines and directories, and then provides reports on where the web site is appearing in search results.

The Deluxe and Premium versions of Traffic Blazer provide additional services, such as the ability to view detailed statistics about the web site, and to send emails to customers.

"It is important for webmasters to get their web sites as high as possible in the search engine results," said Simon Drain, CEO of Free Rider Web Hosting. "Google handles 200 million searches every day. Most people only look at the first few pages of search results, so web sites that are further down in the results are missing out on a lot of traffic."

Simon Drain recommends that customer use Traffic Blazer as part of a larger scheme to increase their search engine ranking. "Other factors are also important," explained Simon. "Google, for example, takes the number of external links to the site in to account. This means that webmasters need to work on several areas, such as asking other webmasters to link to their web site. Traffic Blazer is useful for optimizing a web site and for submitting to search engines; however, it is not a panacea in itself."
