Getting Traffic to Your Website

The success of any website is dependant on getting quality traffic and plenty of it to your website on a daily basis. How do you get traffic? You have gone to the trouble of making your website, you have told everyone you know about it you definitely need to put an effort in here!

Follow these steps to get traffic to your website:
1. Start with a well contstructed website with unique content that is search engine optimised

2. Add your website link to all your social networking accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and Plaxo. These links will build a name for yourself as an expert in your field and help maintain better customer relations.

3. Make up an email signature with your website address in it. Use this for replying to all your emails.

4. Add your website link to local council websites, directories such as Hotfrog.com.au and any other quality related websites that will accept your link.

5. Put your website link on all your advertising material such as brochures, business cards, banners and even your car.

6. Consider using paid advertising to get your website out there. You can advertise on Google, Facebook, or a related business.

7. Add your business to google maps ( see right )

8. Leave comments on forums or blogs that allow you to put a link back to your website. Make sure your comment is relevant, interesting and something that will make readers want to find out more about you. Good relevant content will often attract links from other blogs and websites.

9. Make it a regular task to look out for ways of adding your link from other websites to yours.

Google makes Search Engine Submission obsolete
You dont need to submit your website to Search Engines and you dont need to pay someone to do it. Google is so finely tuned now that new relevant content is indexed anyway. To help get your website link discovered quickly add it to all of your social media accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. and before long Google will pick it up.

Link Exchange Requests
If you have a website no doubt you will receive automated requests from other website owners requesting a link exchanges. Often they will request to put a link whose website topic is totally irrelevant to your website content. This is done under the belief that it will help increase traffic and rankings but if done in a large scale way can actually hurt your rankings as Google doesnt like it. Be wary of products or schemes that produce these requests for link exchanges and if you receive these emails delete/ignore them (especially if the topic has nothing to do with yours.)

Let Google know about your Website
As Google is the number one search engine and what everyone uses its makes sense to utilise there free tools and services. One of the first things you need to do when your website goes live is to submit your website to Google so that it knows that your business and website exist.

Submit your website to Google ( Its Free! )
