Traffic Generation Tips
If you’ve got traffic coming to your site, you’re 99% there. The other 1% is what you do with that traffic, but if you have to traffic – you can figure out the rest. Once the visitors arrive you can have them join your mailing list, purchase a product or subscribe to your RSS feed. The most crucial aspect of this process is getting the visitors to your site.
How, then do you get traffic to your site?
These are the best and fastest ways to get free visitors coming to your site:
- Web 2.0
- Articles Directories
- Video
OK, so how do they work?
Web 2.0 Sites
A Web 2.0 site gives its users the ability to interact with each other and create the site’s content together. What this means for you is that you can join into the community and add your own content. The other interesting thing about these sites is that all the search engines (including Google) treat them as “authority sites”. Which means the content on them gets “indexed” faster and with more weight. And any links in your content that point to your own sites count as a strong “vote” in favor of your sites – lending you credibility in the search engines. This is the hidden benefit of using Web 2.0 sites. How to generate web 2.0 traffic is something we’ve only scratched the surface on. I don’t want to be exhaustive – I want to give you an overview of all the methods…
Article Websites
The next thing we want to talk about is article marketing. This is because article websites are really web 2.0 site. Article directories are sites where users (including you) can upload articles they have written. And just like other web 2.0 sites, you get all the SEO benefits from having your content on them. And in addition to this, other users can take your article and place it on their own website. And because the terms of the directory say they have to include your “resource box” you get links back from all these other sites, too. If you want to generate traffic from articles follow these steps:
- Figure out what keywords you want to go after
- Write specifically to target these keywords
- Use anchor text links in the article and the “resource box”
Video Marketing
The last of this group is video marketing. Just like article directories, video sharing sites also rely on user-generated content. So, just like article marketing, video marketing enables you to add content to authority sites. And in addition to this, because Google and the others love video so much, you can get listed for highly competitive keywords much more easily.
Here are just a few video marketing tips:
- Get a YouTube account
- Turn off all the modules in your account profile
- Put relevant “tags” in your profile
- Include a link to your main site in your profile
- Add at least one video to your profile
- Include your keywords in the title, description and tags
Putting it all together.
