How Do You Direct Visitors to Your Website

Directing traffic to your web site is how your website lives and thrives. Targeted traffic is by far the best, as these visitors will arrive, ready to buy from you and willing to join your mailing lists or read what you have to say. It is also possible to get this traffic very quickly - I recently started a new blog and was getting 40 new visitors each day creating numerous page hits, within a week of starting out and before the search engines had properly trawled the site. This was without any paid advertising schemes. So how do you direct visitors yo your website?

Obviously, avoiding paid advertising schemes is a big benefit in price cutting, but huge marketing budgets and campaigns can bring large quantities of visitors to sites that need it urgently. For large corporations, this may be unavoidable. But most advertising schemes are short term. You pay for a banner, a pay per click advert or for whatever and once the budget has been used up, the advert and its exposure stop.

So an additional aim of directing traffic to your website is that the work you do today lasts longer than just the budget. So how can you drive targeted visitors straight to your web site in a way that lasts? Just a small ask!

Well, search engine optimisation goes a long way there. But forget the talk of meta tags, titles, descriptions, counting H1, H2 and so on. Just make sure that the page is comfortable to read.

Then, start article writing. Write and write some more. Produce a batch of articles around your website niche and submit them to a selection of the best article directories. The aim of this is two fold. First, by getting your articles reproduced the search engines see you as more of an authority and boost your website search positions. Second, people reading your work can also drift over to your web site to read more about what you have to say.

Once this is established, try extending it a step further to guest posting on the larger blogs. Numerous have a special feature especially for this function and will accept specially written articles, which they will publish for you. Again, this gives a smattering of back links to your website whilst also tempting people who are reading the posts to visit you.

Pick a few suitable web sites to guest post to and try a few articles to each. See which seems to give the best benefits and keep working at them. Drop the rest and trial again with a few new blogs. You might find after a couple of cycles that a blog stops sending you so much visitors as all of the readers have already seen your site. Just drop it for a while and maybe return in a few months.

If you do want a temporary visitors boost or you need vast amounts of traffic, then pay per click systems and affiliate marketing are good ways of directing numerous traffic to your site. But along with the vast amounts of visitors, the costs can be large.
