Increase Traffic to Web Site, Mr Sulu
Increase traffic to web site is not unfortunately a command we can give our computer.
Even James T.
Kirk couldn't do that.
Achieving this goal is going to take money, time or both.
So first off, we are going to have to know which of these resources we have most of - and how best to use them.
We are told constantly that it's all about traffic, aren't we? Increase traffic to web site - make money.
That's a half truth.
It's about targeted traffic, and what you do with that traffic when it arrives.
But the conversion 'story' - though critical - is for another day.
Let's look at paid traffic methods.
If money isn't a huge issue and you have some 'risk' funds available to learn pay per click marketing, then it is a great way not only to increase traffic to your website but to collect precious data about keyword performance.
Pay per click delivers to you within a few hours the sort of hard data that offline marketers can only dream about.
Once you know which of your keywords are bringing buyers - thanks to your diligent tracking activities (another subject for another day!) - you can enter your 'increase traffic to web site free of charge' phase.
Once you know which keywords are bringing visitors that either buy your product, opt into your subscriber list via a form box and ethical bribe on your squeeze page, or preferably both, you can start generating free ongoing permanent targeted traffic using those high-performing keywords.
I would only add that you must put in some time to study pay per click before throwing money at it.
It'll bite you otherwise.
So, Mr Chekov, increase traffic to web site for free.
Aye aye, Captain.
First off you can write articles, optimised around those 'star' keywords and submit them to directories such as EzineArticles.
com and Goarticles.
com.
You can write press releases via sites such as prweb.
com - again to generate organic, free traffic in the search engines.
You can set up a WordPress.
org blog, with your star keywords in the title, and upload some posts that are optimised around other good keywords.
You can promote this blog - that can contain links to your product/s as well as an opt-in form - by commenting on relevant blogs and forums, putting a 'signature' at the bottom of each comment with a link to your blog or to your site.
