More Website Traffic - 5 Surefire Tips

If you have a website, then its lifeblood is traffic. If

you are selling your own product, you need more website

traffic to turn a percentage of visitors into buyers. If

you are selling someone else's product as an affiliate, you

need to constantly increase website traffic to offset

dwindling conversions as the product cools off. And if you

have created a high quality content site in order to

display AdSense, Chitika or other context sensitive

advertising units, then the more website traffic, the more

clicks on your ads.

Here are five surefire tips to increase your website

traffic:

1. Writing articles is a win-win-win situation. The ezine

editor gets content, the reader gets valuable information

and you get backlinks. And it's not hard, just tedious. Go

through everything you've written down as part of creating

your website and, if applicable, producing your product.

This is your area of expertise and others will benefit from

it. And it's original. Highlight separate topics and bring

like topics together. Associate relevant keywords with each

topic. Pick a keyword and write a headline based on it. Use

three to five relevant topics as your content.

Finish off with a resource box like mine at the end of this article.

Rinse and repeat until you've got several articles. To get

more website traffic, submit them to the major high Google

Page Rank, low Alexa Rank article directories. To find them,

Google "article directories" or visit the Traffic Floodgate website,

click on the site map link and then "Best Directories."

2. Create an account at http://www.trailfire.com Find

four other sites, blogs or articles on the same or a

similar topic as yours, but who are not direct competitors,

and link them and your site together in a "trail." Include

your best keywords in each review. Google loves these "fire

trails" and with luck will rank yours highly for your

chosen keywords.

3. An oldie but still a goodie. Create several unique

(very important - you will get deleted if they are the same

or even too similar - you might even need to create

separate accounts) advertisements at

http://www.craigslist.org across different regions in the

Small Business category, using your best keyword as the

anchor text linking back to your site. Craigslist has a

Google Page Rank of a whopping 8!

4. Every time you create a website, you should add a

Wordpress blog to it. If you're using cPanel, it's a very

simple process. Click on Fantastico, then select Wordpress

blog, new installation and follow the simple process

through. Do a Google search on Wordpress theme (free if you

like) pick one that appeals and follow the instructions to

change the theme. If you don't, your blog will look like a

million others. And what to post to your blog? Why, the

articles you wrote in Tip 1. Try to post one a week, and

watch your traffic go up.

5. Include a keyword based anchor text link back to your

website in every blog entry plus keyword tags. Tempt your

blog visitors with a free e-book or other valuable

information. Make sure that http://www.technorati.com/ is

included in your blog's ping list. (Click on

Options:Writing:Update Services to maintain your Ping

List.) Then when you post, the Technorati spider will list

your blog post on their huge PR8 site under each of your

tags.

Future articles will expand on each of the topics covered in this

article as well as introduce new ones, all with the single purpose

of getting more website traffic for you.
