One of the biggest concerns that any internet marketer will have is how to increase website traffic. After all, the name of the game is traffic. If you do not get enough targeted traffic to your offer, you will not make very many sales. Having quality content coupled with driving targeted traffic is the way to reach internet success.
Many marketers make the mistake of creating good content, writing one article and then waiting for the millions to come rolling in. Unfortunately, this is not the way it works! You have to put some effort into getting traffic to your website. Here are some tips to remember:
1. Content: Publish content on a consistent basis and make sure it is good quality. This will attract the search engines on a regular basis as well as bring in new readers.
2. Social networking: Use Facebook, MySpace and Twitter to let people know about your site and your updated content.
3. Article marketing: Write articles on a regular basis and submit them to article directories. Put links back using keyword anchor text. This helps to build back links and get more traffic.
4. Social bookmarking: Use sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Technorati to bookmark your site and get more visitors.
5. Search Engine Optimization: Make sure you are using tags and good SEO on your site so that Google believes your site to be relevant content.
6. Forums: Find forums in your niche and become a participant. Let people know about your site once you have become a respected member of the community.
7. Create a site map (there are WordPress plugins for this) and submit it to Google webmaster tools
There are hundreds of ways to get more traffic to your blog or website. These are just a few to try, but remember that generating traffic is one of those tasks you should never stop doing!
