How to Increase Website Traffic?

This is a big question when you start SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for any website. First thing is to know why we do SEO for any website. Everyone wants to increase traffic for their website. There are many competitors in the market, who are serving the same services. But main thing is “that how we can lead them”. As a SEO Consultant I advise few things to our clients, by which we can improve Search Engine Ranking, precious traffic and also achieve our website goal. There are so many ways by which we can increase Traffic for our Website.Some of them are mentioned below:

Quality and Original content on your site: - This is the most effective way for increasing traffic to your website. Provide good information about your Products and Services Offer. Write content that is helpful and useful for site visitor. You need to offer visitors the information they need to achieve a goal, solve their problem. Provide regular updates of your Products and Services on website and Keep it always fresh and update it for repeat visits. If you are not able to update site content regularly then write “Articles” and provide fresh information about your Products or Services.

Search Engine Ranking: - You can focus on your Content and keywords related to your topic and find where your website is ranking on the various search engine? You know keywords help people to find your website when they are searching on the Web. Make sure that the keywords go naturally with the Content and your Products or Services. You know that keywords are not only used in the headings and page names but also into "meta". One thing don’t do stuffing with keywords and do not write any hidden text, this will result in a very low search ranking for your website

Get linked: - Link Building is a very important part of SEO. Trading links with other websites that are closely related to the subject of your website can bring you more website traffic. There are three types of Link building (earlier I had defined about these ways). Provide useful resources on your website, resources that make people to feel thankful that you put in the time and effort. You also trade banner ads, half page ads, classified ads, etc which is known as Social Media Optimization.

Advertise your website URL: - Start your own online discussion community on public site eg Orkut, Facebook, Linkedin and other social Networking Sites. This will help people to know more about your website.
