How to increase my website traffic

Hello friends,

I have registered my website on all top search engines. The web pages are content rich but still don’t have expected traffic. How can I increase traffic?

To make a very long story short, you need to get pages that are already popular to nominate your site by placing a link on theirs.

Link Exchaning is a good way to start.

cross site linking IMO opinion is the best way to get traffic.

as long as it is done properly otherwise you come off looking like a spammer/troll

Try to drive traffic via wanted content. Market in areas that need the service.

There are many methods for generating traffic to your Web site; some excellent and some a waste of time and money.

Effective methods include ensuring that your site is found and listed well in natural search results, using Keyword Advertising to generate targeted traffic, obtaining links from related sites or sites whose visitors would be interested in what you offer, putting your Web site address on all printed materials, business cards, and in your email signature, and advertising offline.

For starters - you need to establish a well thought out and budgeted backlinking campaign, if you want to see positive and long term results from the engines.
This is in addition to the keyword rich content you add on a regular basis.

If you are looking to bring traffic immediately, pay per click would be my option of choice. Be careful though. It's much more complex than meets the eye. Do a little research, and start out with small campaigns. Start with alternative engines (ie. Jeeves) rather than starting with Overture and Google if your budget is limited and your keywords are highly coveted. Although there is investment involved, you will usually see a positive ROI if done smart.

My advice is from an SEO prospective. There are millions of other ways to lure traffic to your site.

So, what if the site you have has little wasy of linking to other sites?
Say there are no other sites of a related nature, or those that do exist are in competition with you?

I'm finding the linking aspect the biggest pain of all... I found keywords and descriptions easy, it's the rest that is stuffing me!

Consider setting up an updated weblog that will be of value to your visitors. This will make your site more sticky, ie: people will come back, and it will mean that as long as it's updated regularly that the search engines 'bots' will visit more frequently

There are many things you can do to ensure you're making your content stimulating for the search engines as well as for your visitors. Getting your web site listed on the search engines for your very specific keywords, is going to be your key to developing highly target traffic. There's no point in having traffic at all unless they are interested in what you are offering- they'll all be dead leads otherwise. I'll try and list a few suggestions, but I will agree with one of your posts already - discussing the blogs... this has worked for me tremendously!

The first key step in laying the foundation for your web site is to do a complete Keyword Analysis and Assessment to determine whether your topic of choice has highly demanded keywords associated to it and also, how many web sites already exist within the search engines who are offering similar content. Where demand is greater than supply, you can validate that the profit potential for your web site niche is high! There is a lot to learn in this area... check out my link to find out more info on this: << url snipped >>

Targeted Traffic is Great. But Without Conversion, It's Just Traffic
The mission of your web site should be to inform and persuade your web site visitors to interact and click more deeply into your web site. Each additional click, demonstrates your ability to persuade and convert your visitors to take the actions that you’re guiding them through.

To Persuade and Convince Your Web Site Visitors, You Have to Give Them "The Meat"

In the web site world, "the meat" is found in the words you use to persuade your visitors to take action. Your conversion success depends on how effective your copywriting is at convincing and persuading your web site visitors to take the actions you want them to take. By weaving your relevant, highly profitable keywords into persuasive copywriting, you can deliver the valuable and relevant information your visitors are looking for.

Check out more info on web site copywriting and how to effectively 'sell' to your visitors - to turn them into customers: << url snipped >>

Have you added your keywords and description to your meta tags? This is a topic that has been argued about, whether or not search engines use meta data... but you're better off covering all of your territory!

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Have an awesome day,

Melissa

I don't really understand why they keep snipping the urls... so Search nerdlib or ProfessorPageCraft in your search engine...

Software simply works..

Techniner, as you can see in the forum rules announcement, posted in multiple places, no reference to your website or URLs are permitted within these forums. The reason for this is because if we didn't have this rule, we would receive numerous threads such as: "Please help me promote my site www.site.com" or "How can I get more members to www.myforum.com?" - the entire forum would turn into a spamfest.

If you think that your product, service, or website genuinely has something that our memers would be interested in, please consider advertising with us. Advertising is the way that this community stays alive - if we allowed everyone to simply plug their website in the forums, we would not have the financial resources to stay alive.

I understand that you feel that your website is of interest to readers of this thread, and therefore feel you should be able to post it. However, as a techie and web development community, nearly all webmasters who visit here have sites that are of interest to our members - in that respect, your site is not unlike the sites of the rest of our 35,000 members.

In addition, once you have reached our ten post minimum (and 10 posts certainly isn't a lot at all!) you will have permission to use forum signatures, to write blogs, and to post in our Site Reviews forum. All that we require is that you make 10 small contributions to our site, and then we allow you to plug your website in those three ways.

Thank you for understanding and following our forum policy.

hi csgal

the way i understand it "techniner" has nothing to gain from posting that url. he/she uses that piece of software and it works so he/she wants to share it.

I am not critisizing the rules (on the contrary), i think the rules are really good.

i have no need for the software so the url isnt neccessary to me

I would like to add to all thathas been said;

write (or hire someone) keyword rich artciles for your website. Also submit it to quality Article Sirectories. As these gives you theme based one-way links for your website.

also if you can then publish few Press Release. This would really boost your site's traffic and increase awareness.
