Website Traffic

Millions of people use the Internet every hour of every day.
So, how come no one is visiting your website?

If you are frustrated by the fact that your website is not receiving the
traffic you think it deserves, you need to learn some tactics to increase
website traffic. Chances are, you could be in information overload learning
about website traffic tactics, but you just don't understand any of it. Your
website is constantly receiving harassing offers of loans on your credit
card to 'guarantee' Google clicks, your website has dropped from Google
search results entirely, and you don't have the money to invest in viable
website traffic tactics. The good news is that there are free ways that you
can increase website traffic.

Mega Success with Meta Tags

Meta tags are elements of your website that help search engines describe
your page. You can increase website traffic by making sure that your Meta
tags contain keywords that target your business and are most often used by
Internet users.
Manipulating Meta tags is easy for anyone who's adept with HTML aspects of
web pages.

Hit the Links

Linking to and from other websites is still the most effective and widely
used method of boosting website traffic. You need to be prudent in choosing
the sites you connect to, and make sure that they are not related too
closely to your own business.
Don't overdo it, because too many links can get you banned from search
engines altogether.

Smart, and Rich

Fill your website with articles that provide solid, sensible information
about your business. Use tools like Overture to find the keywords and
phrases that will bring the most traffic to your site, and then incorporate
these words and phrases into your written articles. Make your content
readable and genuinely informative to ensure visitors will not only come
back to your website, but will also become paying customers. The articles
that you write can also be submitted to various article directory listings.
Affiliate websites may choose your articles to use, and give credit to you
through a web link. This provides greater visibility for your business.

When employed properly, these methods will result the increased numbers of
website hits you need, and can lead to a higher conversion rate. Ultimately,
that means more money in your pocket.
