Having website optimized is not enough to bring in traffic or increase popularity. To have an effective optimization you need incoming links or backlinks from relevant (niche) websites. And off page optimization is not the optimization that is performed on web pages of the site, it is linking your site to others of the same niche.
So put simply off page SEO is about link building; incoming links or backlinks of other websites to your website which is very important to ensure regular flow of traffic as well as sustaining the ranking of a website.

This is the way you help your website to sustain or push its ranking with search engines; a form of continuous web promotion.

The results obtained by off-page optimization can be actually measureable and you see the raise in the ranking of your site on the search engines very soon, of course conditions apply.

importance of the use of hyperlinks for the off-page optimization.
The professional SEO builds the links through several ways; some of
the links can be quickly and easily made and some of them call for
time. Following are the ways in the order of difficulty.

SEO frame of mind will do this but it kind of makes the link building
job lot easier.

Twitter, Linkedin though are nofollow still brings potential
customers)
Of late, profile links (on high PR domains) and having content published on web properties 2.0 are picking up well. Pligg and Pixel submission are also finding favor against other off page SEO link building strategies.
To have your website link submitted to directories is part of off page optimization. It makes your website easily searchable on the search engines and it is a must job. Search for good page rank directories and have your link listed at the sites will help increase your link value. You can also have traffic diverted towards your website from directory links.
Web content that is enriched with your site’s keywords also fetches more searches and increases the direct traffic to your content and website. The keywords that are relevant to your business, product or services will make the web content so much effective.
Link building where in links are constructed off-page can direct traffic to the website. This is done through forum postings, blog commenting, link exchanges, directory listing, article submission with anchored text links at article submission directories and websites, and press release writing and submission by highlighting specific newsworthy happenings of your website can help in link building and traffic building. Blogging is another quick way of achieving link popularity. Guest blogging or guest authoring article/s at niche blogs (that welcome the idea) with anchored text links is one of the sure fire ways to get good link juice.
