Getting traffic to your website takes dedication and time. There is more competition than ever before, and with the improvement of search engine algorithms, you’ll need to provide more value than ever before to your audience. Here are five simple and free ways to increase website traffic:
Publish more relevant content – Content has always been king, and nothing has changed. You need to blog consistently and work on providing content in other ways too – such as relevant article directories, guest blog posts, ebooks, and more. The more relevant and unique content you can dish up to your audience, the better.
Participate more on social media – Your audience has caught on to automation, and they don’t like it! It’s important that you participate in social media by engaging your audience. Speak directly to them on your social media networks and leave the sales pitch for your sales pages on your website. If you’ve noticed “likes” and engagement decreasing on your social media networks, get involved and you’ll see these stats improve.
Join more groups and forums – Well, don’t just join. Get involved! Your intelligent comments on groups, forums, and blog post discussions will bring more traffic to your website. Don’t simply say, “Good post” or something else generic. Say something that’s relevant to the discussion. Put on your expert hat and truly participate in groups and forums to the best of your ability.
Improve your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – By improving your SEO, you drastically will improve the traffic to your website. Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide and Webmaster Guidelines tell you exactly what to do. If you do it (at least 80 percent of it), you’ll get more traffic than other sites that aren’t doing even 30 percent of what they should. It might seem shocking, but many websites are built without any thought to SEO at all.
Become an expert in your niche – You already want to do this, no doubt. But today there are many ways you can become an expert. Get published – either via Kindle or on an expert tutorial site like eHow. Create a course on a course website like Udemy. Or post your presentations for free viewing on YouTube or SlideShare. The more places you put your content in a professional format, the more you’ll be viewed as an expert and the more traffic you’ll bring to your website.
Don’t stop at just one of these ideas! Incorporating as many of them as possible will blow your current traffic out of the water.
