5 Ways to Increase Your Website Traffic (Get Ready to Work SMART!)
In terms of SEO... traffic, this is why human beings purchase SEO services and that is why the website visitors marketplace is active across the clock. everybody is after traffic.. website traffic is what makes the IM international turn, without them, we would all be dead broke and probably bagging groceries.
There are a number of different ways to get traffic to your site, but we’re all ranked by Google... Even if you’re not the first of Google’s main keywords, you’ll get traffic.
This is the 6 ways I get website traffic from various websites through my personal website. After you read this article, I ask you to post a reminder to increase traffic, let us turn this post into a bunch of gold to help each other and novices enter the forum. So let's start some smart discussions that we can all build.
1) Target your page 2-3 organic rankings
Page Two/ Three is useless for site visitors to neglect approximately it! no one appears thru the one's pages, if you are on those pages you may as properly be on web page 74 and web page 469. But did you know you can usually give your internal pages that are ranking on page two and three a quick boost just by playing with your internal linking?
Use Google Analytics, webmaster tools, and semrush to identify terms and pages on the second and third pages. Write them down. The organization is the key here... After finding potential targets, you need to find some good pages on your website that have some good results on these pages.
You can view DA and PA using the Open Site Explorer. IMO they are nonsense indicators that can be easily manipulated but when you're dealing with your own website, they should let you know which pages are reliable... as long as you don't have spam on your own website! You can do this by entering the main URL in the OSE and then viewing the Home tab within 2 seconds.
As soon as you have got recognized your most powerful pages drop a few links on those pages in your pages which can be sitting on Google web page 2 and 3.. this works properly for long tail key phrases that want just a little nudge. smart internal linking is something 99% of human beings overlook to do and it makes 0 experience as there are a number of overlooked opportunities right here. Take small steps and do not just drop a shit load of internal hyperlinks to a single web page right now, make small adjustments and see how the serps react - it's all about that trying out and optimizing guys.
2) Make list posts that feature sites you want links and traffic from
This is easy to do for any niche... Make a list of the best websites that you want to try to get links on because of referral traffic and not SEO, I call this making bullshit ass kissing posts. This can be done in any niche.
Example: if you have a website that features funny pictures of dogs make a list of all the top sites you would kill to get a link from and that has visitors you would love to have to check out your website. Now create a blog post that has a very broad topic so you can include every site you are interested in - "15 Blogs All Dog Lovers Need to Read Daily" there ya go. Simple as that!
Make sure you link out to each one (and don't no-follow them) - seriously, so many people are worried about losing link juice. Guess what? No-following all your outbound links or even not linking out makes you look suspicious! The name of the SEO game is looking natural. Do the biggest sites in the world link out? Yes. Do they no-follow everything? No.
Create a good blog post, don't hire a "native" to shit out a $5 article you will just be wasting your time... spend $$ and get a great blog post that will impress everyone you include in it.
Once you publish it to contact all of the websites you included in your list. Email them. Use the contact form on their site... Tweet them. Facebook them. Don't worry about bothering them! They won't see it as you pestering them once they discover that you are doing it to let them know that you featured them. Think about it for a minute.. they are after links and exposure just like you are so by giving them a link they are going to feel like they have to return the favor. They will often write a blog post telling their readers that they were featured and named as a blog to read. Stroke their ego and get a link and mention. It is a niche related link and can push traffic to your site also.
Use Google Analytics, webmaster tools, and semrush to identify the terms and pages that are on page two and three. Write them all down. The organization is key here... after you find potential targets you need to find pages on your site that have some good juice to toss at those pages.
You can use open site explorer and look at the DA and PA.. IMO they are crap metrics that can be easily rigged but when you are dealing with your own site they should give you a good idea of what pages are solid.. well as long as you aren't spamming your own site! You can do this in 2 seconds by entering your main URL in OSE and then look at the top pages tab.
Once you have identified your strongest pages drop some links on those pages to your pages that are sitting on Google page 2 and 3.. this works well for long tail keywords that need just a little nudge. Smart internal linking is something 99% of people forget to do and it makes zero sense as there are a lot of missed opportunities here. Take small steps and don't just drop a shit load of internal links to a single page at once, make small changes and see how the SERPS react - it's all about that testing and optimizing guys.
3) Sign up for every single newsletter in your niche
Getting links on top sites in your niche isn't hard if you just approach it differently than the other sheeple.. everyone else is sending out a copy and paste messages that all say the same crap. They offer a 500-word unique article and ask for a link.. forget that noise. No serious website owner is going to respond or welcome that offer and if a site does it isn't one you want a link from anyway.
Most websites have a newsletter or some list you can subscribe to.. sign up for every single one you can find! You are going to get a shit ton of emails to set up a separate email address but make sure you keep it on your domain.. so if you use info@yoursite as your mail email set something like hello@yoursite for this. DO NOT do some stupid shit like spam@ or newsletter@ - any smart website owner will sniff this out and know what you are up to.
Every time you get a new newsletter read through it in 3 seconds and reply to it and compliment some point. "That was great - I totally agree about (whatever) because (your point)" - and also start to tweet out blog posts from the site., they will start to see that you are replying to their newsletters (nobody does this) and sharing their stuff on social media.. this is building a relationship.
After you do this for a few weeks include a pitch in one of your replies to their newsletter. "I was actually just writing a blog post about (the topic you are replying about) and wanted to know if you would like to publish it on your website?"
This is such a casual guest post request. It isn't annoying or spammy like 99% of the other ones. It will stand out and they will identify you as the person that has been communicating with them and promoting their content!
Approach this like you would a girl you want to marry and not just sleep with. You have to wine and dine and put in some effort. You aren't going right to the bedroom. If a girl drops her pants right away she is dirty!.. just like a blog is dirty if they let anyone guest post! But the effort is worth it when you land that post and get a niche link that will kick back referral traffic and give you an SEO boost.
4) Publish one blog post daily that targets a low search volume long tail keyword
Everyone is on the long tail keyword bandwagon these days but most will skip over a keyword that has a low search volume of 20 searches.. they think it isn't worth going after but I will tell you it is! The key is to target one every single day.. most people skip them over so the competition is low.. you can often rank with just good on-site optimization - low lying fruit, shit fruit laying on the ground ready to pick up.
I make sure the long tail is used in the title, in the first part of the content and a couple more times in the content. IMG ALT tag and H2 tag to round it off.. since you are going this daily make sure to interlink correctly.
Being consistent comes into play after some time. But imagine if you targeted a keyword daily that "only" has a monthly search volume of 20.. After 1 year you would be targeting about 260 keywords if you did it Mon - Fri every week.. 20 x 260 = 5,200 VERY TARGETED searches a month.. If your onsite optimization is up to scratch done properly you will be ranking on top for all of these.
This type of traffic will do better than more general keywords because these very low volume long tails are extremely targeted! When you think of the big picture this is such an easy thing to take action on. If you can't afford to outsource the article daily just write it first thing in the morning. get up 15 min early to get it done. Just do it! This is such an easy way to increase your traffic but not with just any traffic.. this is very targeted. Once you start to make money increase to 3-5 of these low search volume long tails. Most people just see the big search volume and don't want to put the effort into the low volume stuff. I'll clean house with that stuff all day long.
5) Use PPC copy from top companies in your page descriptions
5) Use percent copy from top companies in your page descriptions
Web page descriptions do not mean shit for search engine optimization! you could consist of your key-word in them however it is not going to help your scores. a number of humans will say to include the keyword inside the description anyway to help with the press-through due to the fact the man or woman is probably to click on at the page if they see the identical keyword they just searched for.
It makes sense however if you examine some descriptions they simply look so awkward with the keyword slapped in there. no person goes to be impressed and wants to click on some bullshit simply because it includes a keyword. I get all my description copy thoughts from people that are spending crazy cash testing advertisements... p.c advertisers!
I will do a Google search associated with the topic of the web page I am writing a description for and study the top percent advertisements. keep in thoughts right here those advertisers are spending thousands of cash split testing reproduction and that they aren't just pulling random lines of copy out in their ass! They price their money too much to do this.. so I study the first-rate ads and get my description copy there. percent advertisements on top are spending the maximum and feature the high-quality click on via so it is a good source of copy that draws people to make them want to click.
Try it... a lot of human beings have appropriate ratings but their descriptions suck so horrifically no person clicks on their web page - top ranks are worthless unless they entice humans to click on them.
