Getting Traffic
These steps are preferably done before making your website but if you already have an existing site then you can still tweak the same using:
1.Relevancy: The first step is to sell or to convince another about an idea, product or service. Make sure to keep the discussion concise but informative. Avoid fluff if you are making a professional website but bring on the fluff as well as the sales talk when you are making a sales page.
2.Web content optimization: This means wording your content in such a way that:
a.The visitor knows what you are selling
b.The visitor learns of the advantages of the idea, good or service
c.The visitor learns of the basic outline or how the idea, good or service works
d.The visitor trusts you are a legitimate website
3.Web Design: After making sure the written word is well made make sure it is presented in such a way that it is easy to read, easy to browse and easy on the eyes. Use pictures, audio visuals, use tabs, etc. Just make sure your reader gets to read and understand everything easily
4.Web Support: websites with the most traffic provide online support that respond to a query as soon as possible. This is because some visitors are potential sales just waiting to have the assurance that what they are looking at is exactly what they need. If one site provides instant verification then regardless of how much better your idea, product or service is, the former will still make the sale.
5.Search engine optimization: This means making sure that your website ranks pretty high on the search engine results. Now, if you did the first four parts right then SEO will not be a problem. By then the words or phrases used by your site is in tune with most search engine queries.
New Age Marketing
Websites with the most traffic take advantage of trending in order to boost relevancy and customer awareness. Right now Blog sites, forums, social networking sites, links, etc are being used to market sites at a fraction of the cost. This is because by using social media your website is passed on from one individual to several other and so on and so forth. A very important tip to remember though is to be especially sure of your initial target group because they are the ones who will like, tag, plurk, favorite, etc your website to others of the same class or group. By making sure that you are targeting a group who actually has a use for your idea, product or service you are sure they have the potential to pass it on to people with the same background, profession, hobby, need or want.
