Hey everybody JC Anthony here from Jc Anthony .com I hope everyone is having a great day,
today I'm going to talk about Getting Website Traffic |Free & Paid
If you are running a website, getting website traffic free or paid has to be a priority
at the top of your list. Visitors to your site are the goal because without them there
is no use in having a website at all. There are plenty of ways to get traffic but
you need to get the visitors that you are going after. It use to be said that everyone
out there is your prospect but that is not the case, if you are talking about lawnmowers
you don’t want to target traffic that is looking for a sewing machine.
Everyone is not your target as you can now see from my example. So how do you find the
people you want coming to your site? A little bit of research goes along way, you could
use tool like the Google Keyword Planner to see statistical information and what keywords
are being searched or a tool like Google Trends. I like Google Trends myself, You can see regions
where keywords and or longtail key words are be looked for, it will also give you a graph
that shows the rise and decline of search for those terms.
Some Ways To Get Traffic | Free One of the best ways to get visitors to your
site is through the content that you write; this is free traffic and the kind of traffic
that you should strive for. The content you write needs to be informative, answer a question
or explain to the viewer (humans), something that they want to know, be informative with
your information and provide value write about something that will help people.
Your content needs to be written in a manner that everyone who views it will not have any
trouble understanding. It has been said that most people out here on the internet only
read at about a 10th grade reading level, this is why when you write, make it easy to
read and make it so that people understand what you’re talking about.
If you give them the answer they are looking for they will most likely return to view other
post’s that you done and when they do you have your free traffic. The nice thing about
that also is that they will probably share it with a friend and now you have even more
traffic. So give your reader’s content that has value and you will keep them returning.
Give Away Something One great way to get visitors is by giving
something away, it can be anything that you want to give away it might be an ebook an
audio training, ipod, whatever it is this is a great way to get people to show up at
your site. Not only is it a good way to get people to interact with you it is also good
in the aspect that if you set it up right you can gain their emails at the same time
and be building your email list’s. (That’s a Topic for another post.)
Everyone has a creative side and I’m sure that if you think about it long enough you
can find something of value to give to your visitors and when you do your site will get
more shares and you will gain even more traffic and that’s what you want.
Paid Traffic There are many sites on the internet where
you can go to get paid traffic, this type of traffic is good in the aspect that these
paid traffic sites put out advertising about your site to people that might be interested
in whatever it is your site is providing. So this type of traffic is more targeted now
it may not send as much traffic as a free traffic method but if you are sale-ing for
example, dog products then you will most likely be getting visitors that at the least are
pet owners of some sort. Paid traffic can bring you even more visitors
but the thing you have to keep in mind is will it be worth the money, will you have
more conversions or will you be throwing away money and not have any better luck than you
were with free traffic. In closing I just want to say that it’s
my opinion that free traffic is the best traffic, paid traffic I believe is better suited to
larger business models for example Wal-Mart, the bigger chains with bigger pocket books.
Paid traffic does pretty well also in affiliate marketing, if you are doing well and can afford
the traffic then it may be the way for you to go but free is free it’s your choice.
I hope you enjoyed the article today so until next time have a great day!
