| How
Do I get traffic to my website?
•
Search Engine Optimization: Top 3 search engines Google,
Yahoo, and MSN drive 95% of traffic to websites. Therefore,
marketing strategies should be geared to getting placed as
high as possible on the search engine results page (SERP)
for your targeted keywords on Google, Yahoo and MSN. Optimizing
your web pages will help drive traffic to your site. Search
engine optimization includes key word research and analysis
of what people are searching on to find your product or service,
original relevant content based on key word findings, and
optimal page title, page description and meta tag keywords
are all helpful in driving web traffic.
• Pay
Per Click Advertising: Many web design companies offer
pay per click (PPC) services, but Beware! Pay per click advertising
takes experience and marketing understanding to drive a successful
marketing campaign. Pay per click ads are perfect as a means
of online direct marketing. Pay per click marketing works
as follows; each time someone clicks on your ad and goes to
your website you pay a set fee or estimated cost per click,
or “click through”. This is an auction based marketing
program and if done poorly can be costly, so make sure the
company your dealing with has real experience. Google Adwords,
Yahoo Search Marketing and soon to be MSN own pay per click
ad network are the driving force behind online ads.
• Online
Banner Ads: Advertising on a popular website helps increase
your traffic especially if it has complimentary content.
• Link
Popularity: The more popular your website the higher you’ll
rank within the Google search network. Reciprocal links and
one-way inbound links are the core secret to success. The
page rank number, quality, and relevance of links to your
website are all dynamically factored into the weight of importance
of your website by the search engine spiders or robots.
• Email
Marketing: As you build your customer base with online
forms, surveys, promotions, and newsletters via email can
be very effective in growing your web presence.
• Direct Marketing: Traditional media
like: Yellow Pages, Flyers, Brochures, Print Ads, Catalogs,
Radio and TV are still and always will help drive traffic,
branding and generate revenue.
