5 Ways To Increase Website Traffïc to Your Website
By Fayola Peters

Millïons of websites online can be placed in their own special category of "Deserted Town". The only life you can find there are those of the webmasters who created them. This is because they get very few, if any, targeted visitors. For these website owners, there are simple techniques they can use to increase website traffïc.
Read on and I will give you five ways to increase website traffïc to your website. These aren't hidden secrets and they won't give you millïons of hits per month for just $ 9.99. (I'm sure you know what I mean). However they are effective and using them will increase website traffïc to your website. And the visitors that you get will be more profitable because they will be targeted.

Increase Website Traffïc

You can pay to increase website traffïc. (I've decided to get the monëy spending out of the way first). There are many ways you can pay to increase website traffïc - three (3) popular ones are:

1. pay-per-click
2. ezine ads
3. website ads

Before you use any of these paying methods to increase website traffïc to your website, I want you to first examine your website with your ideal customer in mind. What keywords will they use to find your website in the search engines? Write them down.

Increase Website Traffïc - Technique 1

Pay-Per-Click

Now you're ready to increase website traffïc with pay-per-click search engines. Start by using the keywords you have written down, go to the frëe keyword suggestion tool at DigitalPoint.com and type in the search box one keyword at a time and press the 'suggest' button.

The results will show you how many people search for your keyword each day and also suggest other keywords you can use and the number of visits they get each day. Write down this information or create a spreadsheet with the headings 'keyword', 'visits per day', and 'pay-per-click cost'. Your pay-per-click cost depends on which pay-per-click search engine you use, the competition for your keywords and on how much you're willing to pay for a clïck.

Once you've finished the spreadsheet, sign up for an account with the pay-per-click-search engine of your choice and bid on your keywords.

You will notice that the keywords with the most visits per day cost more per clïck than those with less. To get more clicks for your monëy the trick is to bid on those keywords which have a few visitors a day. There is less competition for these keywords so your bid price should be low.

Ezine Ads

When using ezine ads place them in ezines which are related to your market, which have subscribers who would be interested in your product or service. You can find ezines in ezine directories and you should be subscribed to a few of them already - start with these.

Website Ads

For website ads, use the keyword list you made for your pay-per-click marketing. Starting with the keyword that gets the most visits per day, do a search at a search engine. Research the first ten (10) to twenty (20) websites looking for any information which indicates that they sell advertising space on their website, like 'Advertise With Us'. If you don't see any advertising information look for a 'Contact' page or email address and send a message asking if advertising is sold on their website and if so then what's the cost. Once you've finished this research, choose where to place your ads.

Search Engine Optimization

To find information online most people go to the search engines first. If you're not listed in at least the first two pages of search engine results for your keywords, then you're missing out on a lot of frëe targeted website traffïc.

To increase traffïc to your website using the above technique try this frëe resource to help optimize your website so that you can access this website traffïc source.

Increase Website Traffïc - Technique 5

Article Writing

Another way to increase website traffïc is by writing articles for your niche market and submitting them to article directories and ezine editors. Your increased website traffïc will come from the resource box at the end of your articles. The resource box is like a 4 to 6 line ad telling your readers who you are and to encourage them to seek more information on your website by clicking on your website link, which you will provide.

One advantage of article writing, beside the frëe increased website traffïc, is that it will make you an expert in the eyes of your readers. This will increase your credibility and your readers trust in you causing them to open their minds and wallets to your recommendations.

Like I said earlier the five (5) techniques I've written about here to increase website traffïc to your website are not hidden secrets, they're nothing new. They are used everyday by website owners whose websites are far from deserted. So start using one of the techniques today and see how it goes, then try another.
