Key points:
1. Traffic is vital for online business growth
2. You need a step-by-step system to get traffic
What is website traffic?
Website traffic is much like highway traffic, going from point A to point B. Without a constant stream of people visiting your website or offer, your website is just a pretty page that few see. By taking certain actions, you can funnel a flow of traffic (people or visits) to your website. Just like with a storefront, the idea is to get your business in front of as many people as possible. Getting them to buy is the next step in the marketing puzzle for your business, but the two are closely related.
Key points:
1. Traffic is a steady stream of unique visitors to your website
2. Good marketing will send traffic to your website
Why do I need Traffic?
If you’re not getting traffic to your website from search engines, you’re not making sales, and if you’re not making sales, you’re not making money. So it’s a great idea to ask yourself: how do I get more?
The traffic to your website is unique visitors, but more importantly you have to remember that a unit of traffic is really a human visitor. Traffic is the only way you will make money from whatever it is you are trying to sell.
If you’re a new business owner, you’re probably excited about the whole process of getting people to visit your site and buy your product. But wait a minute – it requires some marketing to get the sale from that traffic. Most traffic generating ideas are pretty simple once you think of them. The trick is to learn how to drive targeted traffic to your website. Targeted traffic is more likely to result in action takers or buyers.
Key points:
1. No traffic means no sales.
2. Remember that traffic is people
The golden rule is…
Great content brings traffic. Whether your content is social media, web articles, blog posts, or comments, if it’s unique and adds value, people will find it!
If you are new to selling online, an internet marketing strategy can seem overwhelming and people can spend a lot of time making mistakes. The key is to keep your strategy really simple.
Simply put, quality content, correct keyword placement, social and interactive comments and shares, plus starting with good old fashioned keyword research, are the keys to expanding your market reach and get good quality traffic to your website or offer.
You may have heard a saying, “Content is king”, and it’s true, so you need to focus on giving your readers/visitors the useful and original content they want and need.
Key points:
1. Content drives traffic
2. Great content drives a lot of traffic.
3. Great content with good keywords brings floods of traffic
merchandising articles
A simple strategy is to publish an article for your blog or newsletter that solves a common problem of your target audience or client. A good idea is to publish these articles also in directories or blogs.
Just write good content without thinking too much about profit because that comes later. The concept is a bit like giving it back.
If you’re out of ideas, a good strategy is to share your website content on your Facebook page. This content will encourage fans to visit your website. The comments left are great comments and can tell you what your target audience wants.
Key points:
1. Elements are content
2. Publish articles in directories, blogs, social networks and websites
3. Write and publish UNIQUE content for better results
The importance of keywords
Once you master writing quality content, you need to increase your efforts. You need to understand the value and importance of keywords and learn how to use them in your articles and blog posts.
Keywords are search terms that people search for on the Internet. If you write content around those search terms, it means that people (traffic) will find your website. I cannot underestimate how important it is to know which phrases are being searched for the most.
But using keywords doesn’t mean you can write nonsense with keyword stuffing. That will simply discredit you as an expert, author, and business person. Once he has found his best keyword and put it in his headline and introduction, he simply writes quality content that helps his readers solve a common problem.
Key points:
1. Keywords are terms that people search for.
2. Increase the effectiveness of articles with keywords
3. Keyword Stuffing Will Damage Your Credibility
video traffic
Part of the fun is watching your website or blog move up the Google rankings, which means it will become easier to find over time.
Just like article marketing, Google and regular people love videos. So a good video can also bring more traffic to your website. A good idea is to make a short video on a topic relevant to your business and use a few keywords or phrases.
Again, if you’re out of ideas, use their articles as the basis for your videos. Include your keyword in your video title, intro, and tags. It’s also a good idea to include a link to your website.
Key points:
1. Good content helps increase your Google page rank
2. Videos are a popular form of content
3. Turn good articles into videos for an extra boost
Just remember, if you want to start generating more sales, you need a simple system and great content to drive traffic to your website.
