Are you aware of how vitally important and valuable CONTENT is to your online business? In fact, content can do more to build your business and profits than just about any other resource or service available.
Following is a list of 10 key ways that content can help build your website traffic, subscribers, and customers starting today!
1.) Search Engines
Optimize your website to be search-engine friendly. Submit it to various search engines and directories.
In addition to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN, it's worth submitting to lesser known web directories. If your website is listed in as many places as possible, it can boost your rankings in major search engines as well.
2.) Affiliate Program
Set up an affiliate program where you pay people a percentage of each sale for referring customers to you.
Spread the word about your affiliate program by submitting it to affiliate program directories and contacting the owners of related websites.
3.) Link Exchanges
Create a links page that will contain the links to other non-competing websites in the same industry.
Contact the owners of other websites with your proposal to exchange links. You will add their link to your links page, and they will link to your website in return.
4.) Post In Forums
Visit the online discussion forums where people in your target market like to gather. Post useful responses to people's questions, and include a link to your website at the end of your post next to your name.
5.) Comment On Blogs
Visit other people's blogs on the topic related to your website. Most blogs allow you to add comments about the issues being discussed.
Add insightful comments about the blog topics, and leave your website link. Your comment and your link will permanently remain on the blog website.
6.) E-Mail Signatures
Create an e-mail "signature" - your name, your website address and a short tagline describing the main benefit of your site. Set your e-mail program to automatically add your signature to every e-mail that you send.
7.) Traffic Exchanges
There are many times of traffic exchanges but the idea is the same - you team up with other webmasters, and they send you traffic in exchange for you sending them traffic. Search the web for "traffic exchange" to find those services.
8.) "Pass-Around" Strategy
Create something of value that people will pass around. It can be a report with useful information that you allow people to give away. It can also be some kind of cool and unusual webpage that people will want to e-mail to all their friends.
Of course, the pass-around item will include your advertisement and your link, spreading the word about your website.
9.) Writing Articles
Write articles on the topic related to your website, and include a link to your site in your author bio. Submit your articles to article directories, and allow people to publish your article in their newsletters and websites.
Your articles will spread around the web like wildfire. People will read them and visit your website.
The best part is that people who read your articles will regard you as an expert, and they will be much more likely to buy from you when they go to your website. How's that for a free publicity?
10.) Visit Other Forums and place your Ads. Just make sure that you do not SPAM the Forum with too much advertising over and over. Also try to locate the Forums that are closely related to item you are selling or advertising
I believe that this kind of strategy will result better with websites/blogs that get a good number of visitors ,due to click ratios.
Even with a good ad placemement strategy, a website that gets 50 visits a day, for insteance, may get what…one or two clicks on that banner/button ?
But if we talk about a website that gets 5000 visits per day, then that’s another story.
I believe that also a good way of sending visitors and at the same time improving on search engines, is to exchange articles i.e. I write an article about someone’s blog and that person does the same.
Or even cross articles between a group of friends.
Like A writes about B, B writes about C and C writes about A.
1. Be a user first, link developer second. If your link is not going to provide value, why bother? Think like a user and make sure that the link makes sense before you post it or submit it.
2. Keep hunting for the contact info. If all you’re finding is the webmaster@domain.com email, keep hunting. Check the site map, About page, staff page, etc. until you find an actual person to contact.
3. Check more than the PageRank. PageRank is good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not the end all – be all of a site’s value. It’s a snapshot. Check who’s linking to them, how many pages are being indexed in both Yahoo and Google (major discrepancies here can send up a red flag), and the overall quality of the site.
4. Check partner sites. Even if the site that you want doesn’t take links or turns you down, find out who else is linking to them or has links on their site. If the relevancy and quality factors are there, send the email.
5. Evaluate who is linking to the competition. While some link developers say you shouldn’t do this because you’re always chasing the competition’s coat tails, I disagree. If the competition is on a page, why should users only have that option? They should have the option to choose the site you’re working on.
6. Let randomness take over. I tend to have a bit of ADD, which actually helps in my line of work. I roam the net, clicking what interests me and let the user in me take charge (yes, this relates back to #1). Chances are other users will surf in a similar fashion. I keep track of all the pages that I find that may work for a link request.
7. Use Google blog search. Or other social media monitoring tools. If people are talking about the site you’re evaluating, that’s a good sign. But make sure it’s not all negative. A mix of both positive and negative comments and posts regarding these sites make it legit to request a link from them.
8. Document everything. Inevitably, you’ll find yourself at a point where you’re wondering “where did I see that information…” and it will be lost. Be sure to document any pages you stumble across that may be helpful in later work.
9. Check the authority site. Let’s say you’re doing link work for a health site dealing with breast cancer. What are the online authorities for this? Obviously, the Komen Foundation and BreastCancer.org. Who is linking to them? Dig in and see what opportunities are there.
10.Investigate some forums. I’m not advocating SPAM here. But people who are passionate enough to talk about the content of what is on your site will have a long list of sites they regularly visit that may be relevant to what you’re looking for. Ask questions, check out discussions, and view user’s profiles for interesting leads.
