7 Ways to Increase Your Website Traffic


7 Ways to Increase Your Website Traffic 

Dear Friend and Subscriber,
 
Pssst, hey you . . . yea you! Come over here. Want some traffic? Good high quality, money in the bank website traffic? I’ve got some ways you can get it! And you’ll soon be smilin’ all the way to the bank.
 
Give these a try. You’ll be glad you did! Oh, by the way these ideas are not ranked in any particular order. You may find that by combining them will produce even better results.
 
1. Blogging- Are you a blogger? If not, you should be. Why? For starters it can be a great way to get traffic to your website. The key to a successful blog is to create valuable content. Give your readers something they can chew on, i.e. something that makes their life simpler, more profitable, saves them time and/or money. You get the picture, right? If your posts contain value you’ll get other bloggers to give you link overs. And this turns into good quality traffic.
 
2. Promote. Yea, that’s what you have to do. The old “build it and they will visit” thing doesn’t always apply here. Although it can if you do it right. Many low cost ways to promote your website exist: Article submission, SEO optimization, PPC, publicity releases, even old fashion snail mail promotions.  
 
3. SEO tactics. Get used to writing for 2 “readers”—(1.) A real live human being and (2.). A computer. The key is using search engine terms that the various search engines like. It takes a little extra time but you can have the best of both worlds where your high value content that is appealing to both your prospects like and the search engines.
 
3. Pay Per Click. Yes, you can buy traffic (think Google ad words). Yahoo and MSN has there flavors of this also. The key to effective PPC advertising is to think Headlines and squeeze pages. Write your headlines; build your squeeze pages that captures the prospects’ email address. Pretty simple, huh?  Invest some time in Google Ads Words and you’ll be a pro in no time.
 
4. Write articles. I’ve been hinting quite a bit about writing. The key is to have a content rich website or blog. Most of your traffic will come as a result of writing something so you may as well get comfortable with it. If you cringe at the thought of having to write-well anything go find yourself some who does love to write. Invite others to submit their articles to your blog or website. You’ll want to develop writers’ guidelines and give suggestions of what you want submitted.
 
5. The human factor. Here’s another writing tip. Make your writing come alive by infusing some personality into it. A great way to do this is by pretending you are talking to a real person sitting across your desk. Make it as human as possible and you’ll soon find your writer’s voice.
 
6. Snail Mail Promotions. This is not as talked about as many of the online promo strategies but still can be effective nevertheless. Use a post card to promote a free report, video, or web cast. The word “Free” still has power if used to promote what your prospects really want.
 
7. The House List. This is one of the most overlooked, under utilized methods there is. And that is your existing customer file. So what are you waiting for? Send them to your website. You have invested good money (and probably lots of it) to get them to buy your stuff in the first place! So don’t let them down by NOT inviting them to see what’s new on your blog or website. Again create high quality content that will enrich their lives.
