WEB Site Traffic Tips

Many people think that having a good website is all you need to get tons of visitors. Wrong answer! To increase web site traffic takes hard work and diligence and is not accomplished overnight. Think about it this way - how are people supposed to know where to find your site if you don't tell them? You must advertise! When it comes to generating traffic the simple fact is that quality outweighs quantity every time! While attracting millions of visitors to your website is the dream of every webmaster, your approach towards traffic generation should be focused on the quality of traffic that you attract and not so much on the numbers in your traffic stats! When you focus on quality (targeted) traffic rather than quantity you will achieve much better results for your efforts and I guarantee you will experience better conversions and make more sales. What are the best ways to increase targeted web site traffic?

Let's start right in and talk about one of the most basic methods of increasing traffic to your web site and that is SEO(Search engine optimization). SEO has been a standard in the online marketing world for several years. Basically it means making you website more accessible by the search engines. When you begin optimizing your websites you should consider the three major search engines; Google, Yahoo and MSN. They all have different parameters for organizing their links. Out of these Google is the most popular. Google is a context based search engine which means it ranks content-rich websites higher than others. Here are some basic methods that can improve your Google Page Rank:
  • One way that Google ranks webpage's is based on the number of popular keywords page contains. So you must research good keywords and use them in your content.
  • Apart from keyword optimization, the overall content matters as well. There must be at least 250 words of content on a webpage for it to even be considered by Google.
  • The content on your site needs to be regularly updated. Google is looking for content that provides value to the reader. Content that keeps changing is looked upon as dynamic content that the visitor would like.
As you begin your quest for increasing traffic to your site, you will discover that virtually all methods of traffic generation are based on basic SEO methods. Simply because Search engines like Google keep a close look on the popularity of websites and according to them, if a website is visited more, it contains value and that is how you want your site to be seen. Nobody knows how many sites there are on the whole of the internet but there are millions! And thousands more are being added every day!

Tons of information scattered all over the internet but we will try to gather it in the posts area of our blog to simplify research effort.
