There are many powerful ways to increase traffic to your site, in fact, there are many ways to increase traffic that aren't very powerful as well. In this article I will go through some of the most powerful methods and discuss which ways you can use to better your site's performance not only in search engines, but also in traffic getting as a whole
What Is The Most Powerful Way?
Unless you are dealing with something very specific, ultimately the most powerful means of increasing traffic to your site will be that of improving your site's ranking in the search results pages. Are you on page 1 already? If not, I will tell you some ways you can improve your performance, and later you can find links to further training.
First, think long and hard about your site's content. Is it unique? Does it offer good information, advice or insight? or does it just try to sell something? The easiest way to get Google and other search engines to love your site, is to produce quality content, that is relevant to the searches, that the user finds useful (and will therefore share, and stick around on the site to read, as well as return to the site - something Google will take note of) and is unique. If you are consistently updating your site with quality content of this sort, sooner or later Google will take note. How soon? Well, that is impossible to say, but the better your content, the less competition you have, the faster it will happen.
The Social Way Is Growing
Social marketing, using things like Twitter, Facebook, Forums, Pinterest, Google Plus,Tumblr and so on, is growing rapidly. Why is this? Well, firstly because it doesn't really on search rankings and secondly, because it is very easy for work to be shared and shared and re-shared again within the social mediums. How much of your Facebook newsfeed is taken up with shares and likes from your friends? How much of twitter is retweets? Starting to see the power?
One other method I have used recently is to join in with fellow Internet Marketers, not only to keep my learning up to date, but to boost my social pull.
Traditional Methods Still Work..Just About
Of course, traditional methods such as building back-links still work too (as long as they are quality back links) but Google puts less importance on these than it does on other factors now. If you REALLY want to increase your site's traffic you should concentrate on providing quality content, as well as constantly learning to improve your site building skills.
One final method that will never go out of fashion, is keyword research. Remember, if you can find some quality training on keyword research, and utilize the tools to get your site ranking and generating traffic, then all of the above tips will be enhanced and you will notice the difference tenfold.
nice article , One thing people have to keep in mind that when we try to get traffic , we are attracting real people, with real problems that they want to solve , therefore the content should be valuable , easy to understand and that they can apply right away , ones they get results , they will come back and also recommend to others.:-)
For get rank in search engine, i love the final method, keyword research. Great lesson from WAU, today everytime i build new website, it only take a couple day to get rank in google..:) i also use pingomatic to publish my website/blog, and finally i use feedjit to see were the traffic comes. I never use back link, but i choice social media, (google love twitter) once your URL get hit by audience, search engine will crawl on your site................. But i'm tottaly bad in writing articles :( ten time i've write in SA, it always rejected... So this is my challange for the next lesson... One thing i love from this article, you never mention about Traffic exchange. Great work. Dom.!!
