Traffic is King, but this comes FIRST
Visitors to your site are critical – getting them there automatically is even better. Here’s how…
But, first…
Before you begin trying to get traffic to your site, you need to do your keyword research first. This is because you will building your traffic funnels around specific keywords. So you need to make sure the keywords you’re targeting are worth targeting.
Here are the important considerations for your research:
- How competitive are the keywords you’re going after? This involves doing some competitive analysis to determine the ease of entry for each keyword
- Will the keywords you’re targeting bring buyers? Some keywords will bring lots of traffic, but none of them will buy. You want to generate visitors ready to buy.
- What about affiliates? If you want to build a huge business, you’re going to need affiliates to help you. This means that some of your traffic focus should be on getting affiliates to your site.
This is critical to your business, but it takes a lot of time and effort. Experts are expensive and don’t guarantee results. And that’s why most people skip this step! If you’re smart you will use website traffic software to help you with this process. Using tools like this speed up the process and improve your results, too!
Once you know your keywords…
Once you’ve done your properly keyword research, you’re now ready to start targeting these keywords to draw in visitors.
Powerful Traffic Tactics:
- Something you may not have ever considered is Surveys
- “Help” Websites
- Video Sharing Sites
Surveys
Here’s the thing – people love surveys. It’s human nature. And smart website owners know this, so they will include your survey on their site if you make a good one. They benefit by getting free content for their site and you get a link to your site under the survey. This allows you to get free website traffic from other people’s sites! Using just this one extra idea will put you ahead of your competition . . . who think surveys are for gathering information! The only thing you have to do is think of a novel question for your survey.
“Answer” Sites
Sites like Yahoo! Answers allow users to ask and answer each others’ questions. However, you’re interest in these sites is not to ask and answer questions. You are going to generate traffic, leads and sales from them. One thing you can do is to visit sites like Craigslist and Yahoo! Answers and manually extract contact info to contact other users. The good news is that it’s easy to find website traffic software that can do this automatically. This allows you to do the things in your business that can’t be automated and let the software just give you the leads.
Video Sharing Sites
Video is huge and sites like YouTube and Vimeo are extremely popular. YouTube is one of the most highly traffic and search websites on the entire internet! So don’t miss out of this incredible source of free website traffic.
You don’t have to be able to make awesome videos for this to work. You can even take a webpage or article that you’ve written. And use free screen capture software to record yourself reading it. I’ve even seen software that will automatically convert an article to a video!
Summary
Getting traffic is not that difficult. It just takes a little time and some ingenuity. And today there are tons of options for software tools that can help with every part of this process.
Don’t waste any more time:
- Keyword research first is key
- Next, set up a survey or two with viral appeal
- Make sure to use the “answer” sites
- Capitalize on video!
