How to Increase Traffic to Website | Get High Website Traffic

How to increase traffic to website is a very big subject indeed, so I'll have to break it down into smaller sections, and link to them with buttons on the right of this page, when I get around to it. Why should you want traffic? Without visitors to your site you can't make any money.

It is important to improve web traffic if you want to make money from your site, but the choice of methods is so vast that I can't possibly cover it properly in one web page.

Affordable targeted website traffic - 2 main methods

You won't get any worthwhile traffic for free, unless you pull a wild publicity stunt. The ways to increase web traffic for free are really ways where you use your time instead of your money to get the publicity that you want.

So brace yourself - if you want to make money, you will have to spend time or money or both. For instance you could pay a team to do the free publicity activities, and that would make it very obvious that they weren't really free. You would be spending your money in exchange for their time, instead of using your own time.

Without traffic to your web sight you can't make money so you are probably wondering "How can I get more traffic to my website?"

Instant site web traffic means paying for it

The best known way to buy traffic is to use an AdWords account. Every time someone clicks through to your site you pay Google for the click, so it is called PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising.

If you have chosen a popular keyword you could see heavy traffic in a few minutes, and that is a trap to prepare for! Set up AdWords for the amount that you are willing to spend in one day. Otherwise you could find yourself with a bill for a hundred thousand dollars if you get a lot of expensive traffic.

Pay Per Action is better for the vendor, because they only pay when the visitor to their site takes a specified action, such as signing up for a newsletter or buying something. If they have to buy something that is known as affiliate marketing.

There are other companies out there that send you visitors every time one of them searches on a keyword that you choose. That can be as low as 10 cents per click, but be aware that computer criminals write programs to do multiple clicks, so you might be paying for a thousand visitors, and you only got two visitors and 998 computer clicks.

You can also do a joint venture with somebody who has an enormous mailing list, or even just pay for an advert in their mailing list. That can be very profitable, but to get the best results you need some more experience. It isn't really for beginners.

Increasing site web traffic without money

The first method should be considered as essential. You are wasting your time with other methods if you don't use SEO (Search Engine Optimization). That just means that you write every article (or have it written for you) with keywords arranged in just the right pattern. I'll eventually write an article on the subject. Meanwhile, make sure that you understand the html head section, especially the title because the title and description are extremely important, and so is telling the SEs which version of HTML you are using.

Arrange your site so that it is easy to navigate

Then create an XML sitemap and submit it to Google, MSN, and Yahoo.

Decide which are your most important pages (for instance affiliate pre-sales pages) then write articles on the same subject as the pages, and submit them freely to article directories. Anybody who likes can copy your articles onto their web pages on the condition that they leave the resource box unchanged. In the resource box you have a link pointing back to your important article.

Sign up with Yahoo Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/) and set up your digital signature pointing back to your website, then ask relevant questions and answer relevant questions, so that people will come to think of you as an expert.

Visit relevant blogs and forums and leave comments or answer questions. Find them by searching on your keyword forums, or yourkeyword blogs.

Use web2 sites such as Digg.

This is too big a subject to cover here, but I'll try to write articles about it.

Best affordable targeted website traffic

Not all traffic is created equal. If you got a hundred thousand visitors for the keyword "car", and three visitors for the keyword "Where can I get an armoured car in **** city in Texas" Who would be worth more to you? Who would be more likely to buy an armoured car? That's right one of the three visitors who were searching for that keyword.

People searching for short keywords are mostly tyre-kickers who are only taking a preliminary look around. They aren't going to buy anything, so why pay for them. So you don't just need to know how to increase traffic to website. You need to encourage only visitors who already know what they want.
