If you’ve got traffic coming to your site, you’re 99% there. Obviously, this assumes you actually have a reason for wanting this traffic. After getting the traffic you just need to convert it into subscribers and customers . . . but that’s the easy part. So, the critical step is to generate a steady flow of visitors.
Here are some tips for generating website visitors:
These are the best and fastest ways to get free visitors coming to your site:
- Web 2.0
- Article Marketing
- Video
Let’s talk about each of these.
Web 2.0 Sites
A Web 2.0 site gives its users the ability to interact with each other and create the site’s content together. What this means for you is that you can join into the community and add your own content. And because of the highly interactive and popular nature of these sites, Google and other search engines “index” their content regularly. The benefit of this to you is that your content is now considered as part of these sites. So, if you place links to your own site inside your content, you get a search engine ranking benefit from those links. The direct traffic from the Web 2.0 sites themselves is only part of the benefit. Getting free web 2.0 traffic is a big topic that we’ll discuss more later. This is good overview of the reason to get into it, though.
Article Websites
The next thing we want to talk about is article marketing. Article directories fall under the category of web 2.0 sites. Just like web 2.0 sites, article websites allow you to upload your own content – as articles. Just as with the other web 2.0 sites, having your content included gives you immediate traffic and search engine ranking. But you also get the extra benefit of other users taking your article and putting it on their site. And along with your article, they have to include your author information and a link back to you – so you get more free traffic and SEO benefits. In order to get the most free traffic make sure you:
- Do your keyword research
- Tailor the content of your article for the keywords
- Be sure to link to your site on the keywords you’ve chosen. Do this inside the article itself and in your author’s bio.
Video Marketing
The last of this group is video marketing. Once again, this is really a sub-set of web 2.0. And it carries all the same benefits of article marketing. The extra top secret benefit of video marketing is that it’s much easier to rank for competitive keywords than in any other medium.
Here are just a few video marketing tips:
- Get a YouTube account
- Make your profile uncluttered by turning off all the modules
- Add tags to your profile
- Add a link to your website
- Add at least one video to your profile
- For each video use your keywords in the tags, the descriptions and the title
