There are so many how-to increase traffic posts online, so why would we make another? Well, it’s because there are so many ways to do it. I am a concept guy, I like to drill down to the basics and then expand upon them.
There are basically three ways for people to find your site:
- They type it into their browser or have it in their favorites
- They click on a link to it from another webpage
- They find it through search engines
It’s so simple but many people don’t grasp its simplicity.
People using method #1 already know and like your site, you only have to work on keeping them. This should be easy if your maintain your content quality.
To get people to your site using method #2 is simple also. The goal is to get links to your site out there. In the blogging world it is so easy to market your site by creating links. Here are a two simple examples:
- Comment on blogs with high quality comment features
- Sign up for Mybloglog and visit as many sites as possible that show the Mybloglog profile images
Method #3, getting people to your site through search engines is a little more indirect. I have found that producing quality content that ranks high on long tail searches gives you very good search engine search results.
Since most of the time you don’t really know what people are searching for on long tails, just having alot of content will increase your chances of getting a hit. Look for a future posts on getting maximizing long tail search results.
