Attract visitor eyes to your site.
Your site is indexed and shows up on all the major search engines but your web traffic is still a trickle. It may be time to put effort into marketing your website. Driving traffic to your site requires a consistent effort on your part and attention to factors that attract visitors. With these steps you can give your traffic a boost. It takes time to build up a reader base and for search engines to rank your site highly, but keep up the effort and it will pay off.
Instructions
1. Add a blog to your website. According to WordTracker, blogs get 55 percent more visitors and are indexed more than four times as often as other websites. Use the blog to discuss topics related to your website and include links to your pages.
2. Submit your website to social bookmarking sites, such as Delicious, reddit and StumbleUpon. Include social bookmarking buttons on your page. These allow users to easily submit the page to a social bookmarking site, which will increase its rank on the site. According to a DoshDosh poll, about 19 percent of users use such buttons.
3. Get links to your site from other pages on similar topics. One way to do this is to leave comments, including your link, on blogs about topics related to your site or to write as a guest blogger.
4. Review the link structure within your website. Once a visitor gets to one page of your site, you want to attract him to other pages. Make it easy to navigate from page to page. This also will help search engines to index all of the pages on your site.
5. Add new quality content to your site on a regular basis. New content will boost traffic by attracting return visitors to your site. Quality content will also attract the search engines and improve your ranking in search results.
6. Expand the keyword phrases for your website. Keywords are the words or phrases that users will search for to find your pages. Look for keywords that accurately describe your content and use long-tailed keywords for individual pages that do not have many search results to improve your rankings in search results. For example, a site about baking desserts might use the long-tailed phrase "baking brownies in a toaster oven" for one page and "making chocolate cupcakes in a microwave" for another.
