I often see people on this website with linke to their own site in their signature bar. 95% of thse websites that the users have made seem like a good idea at first but always fail.
But why do they fail?
Well its most likely because the "owners" don't bother trying to attract people to the site or they don't know how to go about doing it.
Well this quick quide will give you some pointers on how to get this process up and running.
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.
Step 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
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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
Step 7
Use social networking site such as FaceBook, Friendster, my space, Squidoo, and other to invite your friends to your web site. you can also create Facebook Groups or pages to add free advertising.
Step 8
Use YouTube. Make a video about your store presence and what you offers and upload it to the YouTube. You can benefit from the huge traffic of Youtube to do free advertising for your web site.
Step 9
Pay others to blog about your web site. You can do this by using web services such as PayPerPost. You may select the page rank quality of blogs to blog about your web site at a low cost.
Step 10
Use Google Adsense. You can opt for pay per click or pay per thousand of page impressions.
These steps are just the start though you will have to keep each step uptodate if you want to succeed but if you keep at it your bound to get somewhere.
