How To Get More Traffic To Your Website
By: Justin Harrison
Are you looking for more traffic to your website? Well before you answer YES, here is a little food for thought. What use is it if you get 100,000 visitors a day to your website, if they have no interest in what you are offering?
The real question about web traffic is, would you rather have 10 people a day visiting your website that are guaranteed to buy what you are selling, or would you rather have 10,000 people a day sucking up your bandwidth and wasting your time?
Granted these are rhetorical questions, but the simple fact is that when it comes to getting traffic to your website, most people are stuck in the same loop, "get more, need more, want more"... and generally they look for the shortest cheapest and nastiest way to fulfil that need.
The simple fact about doing business online is that you need to position your product or service in front of people who are already looking for what you have to offer.
There are many websites out there that promise to provide unlimited traffic, for a small fee. These are generally paid to surf or traffic exchange programs, which 90% of the time are an absolute waste of time.
If you want to build a real sustainable business online, then you need to bring people to your website that are likely to buy what you have to offer.
I have websites that make $100.00 a day with 70 visitors or less, simply because my traffic comes from very qualified sources.
So how do you get the right type of website traffic?
Get listed and ranked in the search engines under relevant keywords
Use PPC advertising under relevant keywords
Advertise in relevant community groups and forums
Become a known expert in your field and participate in newsgroups
Write relevant articles for publication
It's not a question of quantity... it's a question of quality.
