subject: How To Become A Web Traffic Generator [print this page] You want visitors to your websiteYou want visitors to your website. So you must become an effective web traffic generator.
Web traffic comes to your website whenever someone clicks on a link to your website or types in the URL directly. The second of these is the result of off line or word of mouth marketing that you may do. Such URL searches are slow to promote and so only suit very specialist or local niches.
For someone to click the link to your website then they generally must find it in a relevant place as they search the web. Your role, when generating website traffic, is to get that link in front of them at the right time.
You can do this by placing a link somewhere where it will be found by a visitor looking specifically for what you can provide or want to promote. You can choose free or paid methods. The main three free ways of doing this are by getting your website to the top spot in web searches on Google, Bing, or other search engines, by writing relevant Articles that are republished in specialist e-zines or by posting relevant comments on the right forums or blogs with links back to your website.
Amongst the paid for methods are PPC (Pay Per Click) and advertisements placed in specialist e-zines. A big plus for paid ads is that you can see traffic start quickly, normally starting within a few hours of submission. By crafting your PPC ad carefully you will ensure that the clickers are all relevant for you and not wasted clicks, for which you are paying! Your Ads will also then show up in relevant places increasing the likelihood of valuable click thrus.
If you want a steady flow of visitors over the long term then free methods are the way to go. The main aim of these is to get your website, and perhaps links to it, up to the top of the natural search results in Google and other search engines. Your target is a top ten place, with the aim of the top spot.
Why is this so important? Research shows that the website that sits in the top spot is likely to get half of the clicks that will result from the search.It would be an excellent result to get 50% of all clicks.
If your website is below tenth place then it is unlikely to get clicks as it is below the fold.. That's because most people are lazy and have their browsers set to the default standard of displaying only ten results at a time. All the results from 11 upwards are not shown on the first page.
So it is clear that your objective is to work to get your site up to #1 for your key search term.Focus your actions on your key web search term, act consistently and your site will rise up the rankings.. Most Number One positions can be claimed by studying the reasons why the current site is there and then doing it better.
By taking these right actions purposefully you will become a successful website traffic generator and so profit from your smart work.
