The Million Dollar Secrets for Doubling Your Website Traffic
Whatever the purpose of your website or blog…whether it is for fun or for profit, it stands to reason that you want as much traffic as possible. Nobody ever complains that they’re frustrated because too many people visit their blog or website.
If your website traffic is composed of “targeted visitors”…folks with a high level of interest in the subject of your blog or website, that’s even better.
And, it’s better still if your traffic is free…if it comes as a result of good search engine rankings or free links on other websites rather than from paid advertising.
Thus, one of the big secrets of promoting websites is not a secret at all. If you do not have (very!) deep pockets, you must have high enough search engine rankings to produce a substantial volume of organic traffic for your website.
A less obvious but not wholly surprising “secret” is that while keyword selection and good content are imperative, it is impossible to achieve success online without devoting a high percentage of your time and energy to strategic link building.
Many website owners have received thousands of links (literally) by writing articles not unlike this one. If well received, a single article can result in nearly 1,000 links. And, there are organizations which will distribute your articles for a fee, and software programs which enable you to do so pretty quickly and easily.
Requesting links on individual websites can also lead to a big boost in your search engine rankings. And, there are software programs that automate the process of identifying websites on subjects related to yours and contacting their webmasters. Alternatively, you can accomplish the same things manually, but it will be far more time consuming.
My organization has offered a free ten lesson course in search engine optimization designed to help website owners for more than five years. Of all the many things we discuss in the ten lessons, we have found out, over and over again, that nothing is more important than linking.
Webmasters who want as much traffic as possible (and who among us doesn’t?) need to commit to a focused, aggressive link building effort. If they do, their efforts are almost certain to be rewarded.
