http://www.HonestlyFreeHomeBiz.comIn my previous article, Proven Ways Content Drives Traffic To Your Site - 1, we covered two of many ways that good content drives traffic to your site within two main categories; search engines and hyperlinks. We will be discussing three more proven ways that content will drive traffic to your site.
3. Web PagesWebsites NEED pages and the more, the better. Having a website only filled with keyword-filled, template style pages is not going to impress the search engines and especially your visitors. You need pages with relevant content and links to entice the search engines.
Slowly but steadily you need to add pages of relevant content to attract the search engine spiders. Creating content for these pages is crucial. Your visitors could land on any page of your site other than the main page. Every page needs to focus attention on your main product or service to generate more interest and sales.
4. NewslettersI bet you have you heard that ole phrase,
The Money Is In The List. More than once or twice, huh? What list, you ask? Your SUBSCRIBER list. Yes, with close to 80% of sales taking place after the first 5 to 7 contacts, it is important that every website have a newsletter.
You must have content to have a newsletter! So you need to put some ideas together and write that newsletter. You may want to offer something free or set up a free mini e-course. Anything that might attract subscribers, so you can add their email to your LIST.
By giving your subscribers relevant and valuable content, you build trust and they will be receptive to your products, services and affiliate links. Make it simple for your visitors to subscribe to your information by only requiring their first name and email address. Getting your subscribers back to your site should be your primary objective.
5. Submit To Article DirectoriesWhen you are writing content for your own website, you do not want to overlook the benefits of sharing your articles with others. By writing short articles relevant to your website, you can submit these articles to an article directory for other website owners or newsletter publishers to use.
These directories get visited by the search engines spiders on a regular basis because of the high value content they provide. When they make use of your articles on their websites or in their newsletters, you get the credit as the author along with a link to your website. Not only will you gain visitors, but you will benefit from the hyperlinks that are created.
These are three more ways which content drives traffic to your site. In the next article we will discuss a few more methods to drive traffic to your site, so check back or subscribe to my RSS Feed to get updates.
