How Do I Increase My Website Traffic?

Monday, June 29th, 2009
Getting website traffic is easy with followings;

1) Write articles related to your website.

Do not copy and publish other articles on your website, as your website’s ranking will go down among all search angines.

2) Create free tools for your visitors to enjoy.

One of the common mistakes that somebody has dating website and offering meta tag creator on his website. What would you call that? Someone who is interested in dating other people will use the meta tag creator for what?

3) Get a few quality one-way back links from other websites.

I know you will say how would that increase my traffic, but trust me for a website to be treated as a website not a garbage needs quality sites linking back. Because for them linking back to you saying your website has something useful for visitors. I know a few webmasters who were penalized by search engines, but still making real good money by the traffic they get from backlinks.

4) If you are serious webmaster then you should treat your website as your future investment.

Do not try to make your website #1 within a few months. It’s not possible. You and your website needs time. I have had a dating website since 2003 and had only 2 links on page that time, but now there are more than 1200 links and it happened by itself. People find you, and exchange links, offer partnerships, business proposals etc. This will happen overtime.

If you want to get thousands of website visitors to your site for free then you need time, otherwise you need to buy traffic and advertisements.

What you Can Do to Generate Website Traffic

Saturday, June 27th, 2009
Website traffic is the most crucial part to having an online business. Sure you have to have a product with public appeal and quality content to promote your product. But without traffic, you will have no business. It may take time, but there are some things you can do to generate website traffic for yourself.

The more back links you have to your website, the more people have a chance to getting to your website. A back link is essentially another website that has your link on it. If you have 50 back links, there are 50 places people can find your website link and get to your website. That is why it is vital that you try to get as many back links as possible.

One way to get a back link is to write testimonials for any business that you have gone through that already has a high page rank. If the business has a high page rank, that means they are reeling in a lot of traffic each day. Not everyone looks at the testimonial page, but there are many who want to see what that business is all about. And that is where your link becomes relevant.

Another way to generate website traffic is to write articles. If you can write clear and precise articles that offer something fresh, it can be a great way to show your knowledge on your topic. Then, write out a resource box and begin submitting your article all over. Each article directory that publishes one of your articles acts as a back link, so submit to as many directories and sites that you can.

One of the more popular ways to generate traffic is traffic exchange. Traffic exchange is a type of website that provides a service for webmasters in exchange for traffic. As you submit your website, you then have to browse other member’s sites in exchange for credit. The way you benefit from this is that other members will view your site, and may become enthralled by it and purchase something.

The last way you can generate more website traffic is by posting in forums. The more forums you post in, the more variety you can bring to your website. It is equally important that you post several times in each forum so that people become familiar with you. If you make a post every day in several different forums, people will eventually come to your website to see what you are all about.

Without website traffic, you have a great website with no business. That is why it is essential that you take into consideration the tips listed above to begin generating traffic. It is crucial that you are patient, but by doing a little of everything, you will reel in loads of traffic.

Writing Ezine Articles For Increased Website Traffic - Keyword Research

Friday, June 26th, 2009
If you have owned a website for more than about ten minutes, you will have heard that writing ezine articles is the best way to increase traffic to your website. Every webmaster wants to get increased website traffic and, if that traffic is both free and targeted, it is a webmaster’s dream come true.

How, you might ask, will writing ezine articles increase traffic to your website? Writing articles works in two ways: having articles published online creates links back to your website, thereby improving your site’s placement in search engine rankings, and people who read your articles and find them interesting will visit your website.

There is a little bit of science you need to use if your ezine articles are going to successfully increase traffic to your website. The science is all about the use of keywords, and the term “keyword” includes phrases consisting of several words. You can write a brilliant article but, if you choose your keywords unwisely, that article will not achieve all it might in terms of increased website traffic. The truth is that a mediocre, or even downright badly written, article with properly used keywords will work better than a good article with poor use of keywords.

Choosing keywords requires a bit of research. What you need to find are keywords that real people use when they use search engines to look for things, but which don’t have too much competition from other articles already published online. Finding keywords people search on is easy, finding keywords with little competition is easy; finding keywords that have both attributes is a bit harder, but it has to be done.

The point of writing ezine articles is to increase traffic to your website, so there is no point in basing your article on keywords nobody (or hardly anybody) ever searches for, but if you choose a keyword that’s searched heavily, the competition will be too great. If you pick a highly popular keyword, high ranking websites will already be holding the top spots in the search engines and your article will be buried so deeply in the search results that nobody will ever see it.

Remember that “keyword” can actually mean a phrase. In fact, many of the best keywords are phrases of four words or more, and these are known as “long tail keywords”. You can easily demonstrate how this works by typing a few search terms into a free research tool (eg Overture, Wordtracker or Google’s keyword tool). Try typing in “dogs”, then “German Shepherd”, then “white German Shepherd”, then “German Shepherd Training”. You will see that the first search term “dogs” gets thousands of searches but the number of searches drops dramatically when you start searching under more specific terms.

Once you have a list of long tail keywords that are relevant to your website, the next step is to research the amount of competition for each keyword. The easiest way to do this is to use Google’s advanced search feature and type each of your keywords in turn into the exact phrase box. This will tell you how many websites are indexed for that particular keyword. It is often useful to check out the sites appearing highest in the organic search column so you can look at the competition you will be facing.

Keyword research can be quite time-consuming when you first start but, like most things, you will find you speed up with practice. It is tedious work but absolutely essential if you want to make the most of your ezine article writing. If you can find a keyword that gets a reasonable number of searches but has only a few websites listed under that term, you have a chance of getting your article listed high up in the search engines. High search engine placement means more potential visitors will see your article and you will soon notice the increased traffic to your website.

Generating Organic Website Traffic

Friday, June 26th, 2009
It’s the biggest mystery on the internet. Everyone wants to open an online business. Everyone has a great idea. Everyone has a sure-fire strategy for success. And in many cases, they go out and build impressive websites around their idea. They include features that make the site sticky, drawing visitors in and inviting them to browse around. The graphics are slick and the layout beautiful. Java and Ajax make the browsing experience smooth and seamless. But in the end, no one shows up.

The vast majority of websites never get much of any traffic. Of course, this should come as no surprise. There are millions of different websites, even within a single topic, and there’s no way for the average internet browser to find one specific website without some help. And that’s what this article is about. What can you do as an online entrepreneur to identify yourself to the masses and help them find their way to your website? More importantly, what can you do to achieve that objective with little or no money?

That last sentence is the most important one so far. We all know the pay-per-click options exist and our hard earned money can quickly and easily drive traffic to your website. We all know it can be done at the click of a mouse. But how much will it cost? For those of us who have tried this type of advertising, it’s truly amazing how quickly you can run a tab paying for one click here and one click there. Well, as it turns out, there are some other options available that can drive just as much traffic and won’t cost you a penny.

The first strategy is encompassed by this article you’re reading. I wrote this article and posted it to the internet for free. Nobody’s paying me a penny. I took the time to write is all down because I know how to post it to thousands of different article directories quickly. And at the bottom of this article is a short bio with some brief information about me along with my website address. That means everyone who reads this article has the option of clicking through to my website directly. It’s called article marketing and it’s one of the best strategies for driving website traffic.

The second strategy involves posting comments on popular industry forums. Once you register with a forum, you can post comments within any topic you can find a string for. Your profile usually allows you to create a signature and that signature can include your website address. Once again, you’ve leaving behind a direct link to your website every time you post a comment. And as such, I would post as many comments on industry forums as you possibly can - perhaps as many as 15 or 20 comments each day.

The third strategy is to post comments on popular blogs in your area of expertise of beginning a blog of your own. If you post comments on a blog for 10 consecutive days, I can almost guarantee you that someone is reading your posts. It just happens. People find stuff and you can quickly gain an audience by creating a blog. And of course, you can revert to posting comments on someone else’s blog. You can always leave behind a direct link to your site when you do so.

The forth strategy is to make your website easy to bookmark with any one of the many social bookmarking sites that have emerged during the past year or so. It’s the new craze and sites like StumbleUpon or Boing Boing or Digg can quickly drive traffic to your site if the content you’re providing is appreciated by others. Adding the appropriate buttons and links only encourages that process.

Driving internet traffic doesn’t have to be a mystery. It doesn’t need to be a secret. And there are lots of things you can do to get plenty of organic traffic landing on your website. In most cases, it doesn’t cost any money. It just takes time. And if you can allocate the time, you’ll be amazed at how quickly it will also start happening. Good luck!

Google Group Advertising: Secret to Generate Free Website Traffics From Google Groups and Forums

Friday, June 26th, 2009
In this article, you will find out the secrets of generating free website traffic and website marketing, online promotion, business marketing, how to get website traffics, free website traffics, forum traffics, website sales secrets, internet advertising secrets, online business promotion that works.

It is an open secret that about 95% of small business owners and individual online business owners have not been making serious money online for about 4 years now because all the traditional website marketing strategies that used to work 6 yrs ago do not work anymore.

Some people have dabbled in Pay per Click (PPC) advertising squandering $1000-$10,000 weekly to make $1000-$10,000 monthly!

Do not get me wrong.

Pay Per Click advertising works, but not for every product or service.

You must have a very unique product/service that very few people are selling which is very difficult to find offline for you to succeed in a big way with Pay Per Click advertising.

It is not effective anymore to depend on the search engines to send traffics to your websites because you must optimize your websites correctly and then compete with billions of websites to get top 10 search result position for anyone to find your website.

Some people have squandered thousands of dollars paying Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services to optimize their websites and submit them to search engines and also get top 10 ranking for them.

There are a few SEO services that are good who could really get top 10 rankings in your keywords and so help you generate sales.

However, the good ones are very expensive.

Some will charge you about $2000-$15,000 upfront fee (depending on the size of your website and the competitiveness of your keywords)

In addition to the upfront fee, they would charge you a maintenance fee of about $100-$500 monthly.

If you agree to these horrendous fees, yes, they can get top 10 rankings for you and you may begin making a lot of sales.

However, there is a problem.

The top 10 rankings do not often last a long time.

The major search engines change their algorithms and the coding of their search engines about every 3 months and when they do, you would lose all or most of your search engines’ top 10 rankings in your major keywords and your sales may vaporize overnight.

I have had the experience where after one of the major search engines changed their algorithm, two of my websites were completely removed from their search engine!

I was wondering what was going on because for about 2-3 yrs, these websites had top 10 rankings in this particular search engine.

Since I am not a search engine expert, it was a conundrum to me.

I decided to phone the search engine company to explain to me what was going on.

How could two of my websites suddenly disappear from their search engine overnight?

After about 45 minutes of giving me a run-around, I finally reached one of their staff who told me that they do not have any technical support for their search engine!

Be reminded that this is a $500 billion dollar company!

In addition, as if that was not enough, he told me that they charge $3.95/hr for any general technical issues that I may be interested to bring up!

I could not believe what I was hearing.

They sell inferior operating system and softwares to you, which are very vulnerable to viruses and malwares.

When you start having problems with it and phone them, they would either give you a run around and refuse to help you or they may give you misleading information after you pay them a fee.

After going through this sordid experience with this nasty company, I decided to give up on them.

I removed Explorer from my computer and installed Firefox, and Yoohoo, 99% of all my computer problems vanished overnight!

I also decided to ignore their search engine.

However, about a month later, suddenly some of my web pages that had been missing for about 6 months began to re-appear in this same search engine. Go figure.

It was at this point that I realized that it was time to consult a search engine expert, someone who owns a search engine to give me the inside SECRET scoop about how to really generate massive traffics to my websites.

One of the tips he gave me blew my mind because I have known about it for 6 yrs, and have used it a few times but later I stopped.

So, what is this all powerful website traffics secret tip?

Posting messages at selected high power forums!

Yep. It works.

But not with every forum.

Some forums do not promote their forum sites.

Therefore, you must choose forums that promote their forums to post your ads.

And one of the most powerful forums is Google Groups.

At the bottom of this article, I have the link of a Google Group forum.

You may start there.

(1) Click on the link to go to this Google Group forum.

(2) If you have not yet created a Google Group account, then do so.

It is easy.

(3) Go back to the link of Google Group forum (listed in the author’s resource box below at the end of this article) and click = sign up= to join in this forum. (See the Google Group link at the bottom of this article)

(4) Then afterward, begin to post your ads about all your online businesses and websites.

Also read and comment on other forum members’ offers as well as post messages about any internet marketing secrets that you may know.

The more messages, tips, ads that you post, the more links you would get in the search engines and the more FREE TRAFFICS you would start getting!

Within a week of doing this, all of your ads, messages and postings would begin to appear in Google search engine and the other ones!

Google indexes all postings in Google Groups fast, so your ads may begin appearing in Google Search engine even in less than a week!
