Increasing your website traffic
November 12, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
How to increase website traffic? I love organic traffic and paid traffic works well also but you still have to submit your site to, search engines, article directories, authority blogs and press releases. In order for the search engines to index your web site and perform what is called a “deep crawl,” the creation of your website needs to be free of any barriers that will impede the deep crawling by the “bots” or as most common folks call them…Search Engines.
Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced webmaster, we all know that your sales will rise significantly with targeted website traffic tailored to your industry niche. I’ll write it down as simple as I possibly can…without website traffic there is no or very little money coming in. Even if you do not want to profit with your website and want it purely for informational purposes what good is it if no one will find it!
Websites that have too many missing links or data that has not been recently updated could give the search engine robots a red flag indicating that your pages are old or not relevant anymore. If you have a self designed website, make sure you keep the directory structure simple and not too deep. Matter of fact just the one directory works best. The fewer directories the more pages and easier it will be for the search engines to index all of your web pages. Everyone knows the K.I.S.S. method remember it when designing your website.
Find out which pages visitors usually enter your web site through so you can include more initial information on your site’s products and services. Analyze other useful information from reports about website visitors including their countries, browsers, languages, operating systems, IP addresses as well as number of repeated visitors. It is essential that you know where your website visitors are coming from. Use google’s analytics to analyze your website visitors. Google Analytics is a brilliant and free web traffic analyzation tool. It can give you detailed, business-oriented data about your site’s visitors through a powerful web-based user interface. The more you know about your business website visitors the easier it will be to do SEO for that particular page or pages. Google Analytics is free to anyone who desires to know more about their website traffic or visitors.
You can also use other web based stats counter scripts that will help with analyzing your website traffic. Finding one is very easy and simple to do just google “free stat counter” I would use the very first one listed.
Knowing where your visitors are coming from, where they exited, how long they stayed and what pages they stayed the longest is information that can be analyzed to help with your own SEO and traffic generation efforts. There are many SEO firms and e-books that can help you accomplish all of the above but why fork out big bucks when it can be done yourself.
