DOs & DON’Ts to Increase your website’s traffic
July 13th, 2009 | 23 views | Posted in Computer Gadget | 7 Comments »
Regardless any type of website you built, whether it’s a business website, social blog, money maker, etc, we need to drive traffic to our site. The reason we make a website online is to let others know our website and visit them. Especially if your website is a business website or making money online, to increase traffic to your website should be your first priority. More traffic means more visits, just like a shop, means more money. If you have an AdSense website, you need traffic to make money from that site!
In general, promoting a blog is much easier and faster than promoting a website, because blogs are so interactive and always updating regularly. You’ve probably heard that there is a great deal of money to be made by using blogs – whether you are into affiliate marketing, or an AdSense publisher.
You can use a blog in several different ways. First, you can use just the blog, as opposed to having a separate static website. You can also use a blog to drive traffic to a static website. Either way works, but in the long run, it’s easier to have a blog, with your own domain, hosted on a web server, than it is to operate both a blog and a website.
What you should Do to increase your traffic:
1. You ping your blog after each post. You can do this at a site such as www.pingomatic.com or www.www.pingoat.com, which will send the ping to multiple blog directories at one time.
2. You use social bookmarks each time you make a post, tagging the post with your keywords. You can quickly and easily send out multiple bookmarks at one time by using a free service such as
www.onlywire.com.
3. You burn your feed at a free site such as www.feedster.com. This lists your feed in their directory, so that people may subscribe before they’ve ever even visited your blog.
4. You visit relevant blogs that belong to others, and leave relevant comments with a link back to your own blog.
5. You quote other people’s blogs and link to it using your trackback feature. Your link to that post will automatically appear on their trackback list for that post, if they have enabled trackbacks.
6. Use your keywords in your article. This is search engine fodder; it drives the article up in the search engine results, which in turn brings more traffic to your site.
What you should NOT Do:
1. You don’t need ever pay for traffic from a site that promises you a great deal of traffic in a short amount of time. The traffic that you get will not be targeted, and will be of no use to you at all. The same applies to traffic exchange sites. In fact, many of these sites are scam sites, and the traffic that you get will actually be automated traffic, not real traffic.
2. Do not spend hours, or even use automated software to submit your site to free classified ad sites or free for all link sites. This only results in lots of spam for you. It does not result in traffic.
3. Don’t use pop ups. People hate these, and most people now have software installed that keeps pop ups from popping. Avoid other irritating elements on your site as well, such as blinking text and music, and colors that clash.
Make a blog post regularly. If you’re blog isn’t updated, you can’t really promote it very well.
If you have a blog and a website, you can do this as well. The idea here is to use the same
promotional techniques for the blog, and then in each blog post, point to your website.
