How To Increase Website Traffic ?

How To Increase Website Traffic ?

Looking to increase website traffic ?

If you've been active in Internet Marketing or have owned a Website for more than a couple of weeks ... You already know how important Website Traffic is !

The problem is, there are so many different ways to get Website Traffic, it's difficult to know which course to take.

1. ) You could just buy "Pay-Per-Click" ( PPC ) Advertising as this can be done rather quickly and generates traffic right away. The problem is ... This traffic doesn't come cheap, and if you haven't thoroughly studied this form of traffic already, you're liable to spend your ad budget faster than you can say, "Lickety-Split !"

The other problem is ... you need to stay in this game long enough to find out which keywords are actually bringing sales and which ones are merely bringing "lookey-loo" type visitors which weren't planning on buying anything in the first place.

2. ) You could spend your time learning "Search Engine Optimization" ( SEO ) but the learning curve on this is pretty sizeable and while the rewards are certainly worthwhile, they're slow in coming.

It typically takes 30-90 days ( at minimum ) to really see any dramatic improvement in traffic from pure SEO techniques.

3. ) You could get yourself involved in "Black-Hat" techniques which generate a quick surge of traffic by trying to fake out the Search Engines, but beware ...! As soon as the Search Engines catch on, and they will, you'll be penalized and possibly even de-listed.

That's right, you could find that your site has been removed from the Search Engine's index and therefore, can never be found unless someone actually types your website's URL directly in their browser!

Getting Traffic to your Blog

Getting Traffic to your Blog

So, you have a blog ! Do you have traffic ? Do you know how to build traffic to your weblog ? There are seven proven methods for building readership of your blog. They start with defining the purpose, or life, of your blog. Then, after you have a blog worth promoting, driving traffic is crucial to your ongoing success at blogging.

Here are seven tips to help you build and hold an audience for your blog :

Tip #1 : Provide Quality Content

On the Internet, whether you are talking about websites or blogs, a lot of space is given to content. Everyone directs you to provide quality content. But, what is quality content ? The quality of your blog's content is directly related to how well you have defined your ideal audience.

A successful blog is written with a distinct audience in mind. In this way, you can provide content that is unique to your audience's issues, needs, or desires. If you create content they like and wish to return to read, you have quality content.

The second issue is to stay true to your audience and tone of your blog. If people are reading your blog, it's because they like your topic and tone. Try not to stray from your typical topics and style too much. This will give your readers a reason to link back to your blog on an ongoing basis, as will posting on a regular basis.

Tip #2 : Blog Regularly

If you don't update your blog often enough, blog readers will move on to other blogs. There are too many blogs out there competing for attention. Blog readers will go where they can get enough of what they want. Successful blogging takes a commitment of your time. When you begin blogging and wish to capture an audience, you should be prepared to blog every day. In this way, you can develop an audience who counts on you to help them begin or end their day.

This means you should also try to post at the same time each day. Your readers will get accustomed to your schedule and check your blog at the appropriate time. The time of day is not as crucial as the consistency in your posting.

Since you now have quality content and a regular posting schedule, it's time to drive traffic to your blog. Your readers will do a lot to promote your blog just by telling their friends. Don't count on this alone ! You need to do some additional work.

When you post, make sure you set your blog to "ping" blog tracking sites every time you add a new post. Think of this as a means to get their attention. The ping says "Hey, we just added a new post". An alternative to automatically pinging from your blog is to use pingomatic.com. This is a one-stop place to automatically ping everyone you should notify of your new post and only takes a couple of minutes to accomplish.

Tip #3 : Mention your Blog

Mention your blog's address in your email signature line, in forums where you post, on your business cards, on address labels and in conversations with anyone you meet. Use a tag line under your blog address to further entice them to visit.

Beyond just mentioning your blog in writing and conversation, you must actively participate in the blogging community too.

Tip #4 : Participate in Blogosphere

Get involved in other people's blogs. Visit blogs that interest you and are in line with the general topic of your blog. Then, leave thoughtful comments. Almost every comment option on someone else's blog will allow you to post your blog URL and your email address. Help other bloggers out with traffic and they will help you.

If a blogger really likes your site, they will add you to their blogroll. A blogroll is generally found on every blog which understands linking to the rest of the blogosphere helps drive traffic. A blogroll is a listing of other blogs. Think of it as a "recommended reading list". Don't be stingy with your blog roll either. Add those blogs that you read and enjoy to your blogroll too.

Tip #5 : Keywords on your Post

Think about keywords with your use of titles, links and blog posts. Search engines, like Google and Yahoo, like keywords. The more targeted your keywords, the better the chances of your blog appearing in search results. Search results can drive that extra traffic you want.

To increase the value of the key words in your content, make certain keywords are part of the hot link in your posts. Don't use "click here" as the hot link. You will be wasting valuable real estate in your post. Instead use the relevant keywords for the hot link, like "a great marketing idea". This gives the keywords added emphasis with the search engines.

One last thought on keywords for driving traffic ; if you want a real leg up in the traffic game, in your linking code add rel="tag". This helps Technorati, a major blog resource, index your blog for their directory. But don't stop there ! It's time to submit your blog to blog directories.

Tip #6 : Submit to Blog Directories

In addition to submitting your blog to the major search engines, make certain you submit the blog to exclusively blog directories like blogwise, blogcatalog, or bloghub. Many people find blogs through these online directories.

When you do submit your blog to these directories, remember to add a description that will entice your targeted audience to check your blog out. Your description should help the potential reader understand your blogging topic and the flavor of how you write.

In addition to submitting your blog to blog directories, join a few of the free or inexpensive traffic exchange sites like blogexplosion or blogclicker.

Tip #7 : Use Free and Inexpensive Blog Traffic Exchange Communities

There are many sites which can be termed "traffic exchange" sites for the blogging community. It won't cost you anything to sign up. At the very least, join blogexplosion, blogclicker, and blogazoo. Once you sign up, you have two options to help drive traffic to your blog. Use both of them !

The first method is to earn credits ( guaranteed visitors to your site ) by using the "surf member sites" function. As you surf through those sites, you will be earning credits ( visitors to your blog ). When you find an interesting post, leave a comment as discussed above. When you find a blogger you like, add them to your blogroll and let them know you did.

The second method to drive traffic is to purchase credits. The cost is very cheap for the traffic you will drive to your blog. The more traffic to your blog, the more customers you'll have. The more happy customers you have, the more they will tell others. The more they tell others, the more customers you get. Don't you love this dance !

In summary, blogging may not be for everyone. However, it can be a great method for bringing your unique perspective to the Internet. You will surely find others who think the same way you do. Some bloggers will entertain you, some will inform you, and some will drive you to tear your hair out. Decide what type of blogger you want to be and be the best you can. See you in the blogosphere.

How Articles Growing Your Traffic ?

How Articles Growing Your Traffic ?

In an online business, one of the most important thing is to master the art of growing traffic. You can either do it by pay per click or using other free methods like blogging or writing articles. Every method has its own pros and cons. It is just how you manage them to your advantage.

I personally prefer growing my traffic with articles writing. Here are some things to take note when you are writing your articles. The main purpose is to provide content and interest the reader to click on your link in the resource box to go to your website. The website where they are taken to must have the same theme as the article. Readers are clever enough to see your plot to just promote them some affiliate products.

Writing more isn’t better everytime. The more you write doesn’t mean the more you will earn from affiliate commissions. There are articles which are just mass produced by some article generators. Do you think your readers are robots ?

Always write in the shoes of your reader and not for the sake of making a sale. This way, your article will be more inclined to solving your readers’ problem and they will buy your solution. It is a bit of a copywriting thing involved.

Spreading your articles the correct way will definitely give your article the attention it deserves and give a boost to your traffic. There are many stories about submitting the same article to multiple directories may actually do more SEO harm to your article. So to avoid this, it is sufficient to distribute your article to the top article directories with high PR and high reader base. In this way you can get readers from both search engines and the article directories. Do it on a regular basis, and you will be able to grow your traffic with loyal readers who will always buy on your recommendations.

Take action now and start to write an article on your own. If you really dread doing this, outsource it to a ghost writer but remember to check the quality of your articles before you submit them to an article directory.
