There are three things you need to
consider when it comes to website traffic. But let's firstly think about
where that traffic is likely to come from. The chances are you will
generate hits from the major Search Engines, when people search for
their key words. With this in mind, let's talk about the three golden
rules: 1. You need to make sure that the words you want to generate Search Engine traffic are actually contained within the text of your website. Sounds obvious doesn't it? But you'd be amazed at the amount of websites we come across that don't actually contain words on the home page. Flashy images may look great, but they don't sell products! 2. The Search Engines just love content, so you need to make sure your website carries lots of material that will add value for your visitors. In this way, you will be rewarded by the search engine rankings. 3. Finally, make sure the content is actually relevant to what your website is all about. Again, it sounds obvious but it's hugely important. If you don't have time to write your own content you can pay someone to do it for you or you might consider searching for a related article and provided you have the author's permission, you can post the content on your website. Make sure the content is 'keyword rich'. In other words, you need to be certain that the article or content will carry words that your visitors are likely to search for. It's that simple and good luck with implementing your strategy! From the desk of our Features Editor, December 2006 |
