Here are our top tips:

#1 – Write and distribute articles. You may have heard this tip already, but it is without a doubt one of the absolute best ways to drive traffic to your website. Each article you distribute to the directories could mean many potential one-way links back to your websites.

This means more visitors who read your content and click over for more information. But it also means higher ranking within the search engines themselves. Search engines love incoming one-way links, and the more articles you distribute the more back links you’ll get.

#2 – Optimize your website. Search engines are sophisticated but they still can’t find your website unless you optimize it fully. Ensure all your pages include a title tag, the appropriate keywords and a short description about your website. A clear navigation structure as well as a thorough site map will also help both the search engines and your human visitors find you.

#3 – Write great content. Great website content is to search engines what honey is to bees. They absolutely love it. The content on your website should be helpful, informative and as up-to-date as possible. Adding regular fresh content will be appreciated by your human visitors as well as the search engines.

#4 – Do your keyword research. Search engines and human visitors use keywords to find your website. Your keywords are the lifeblood of your business. It pays to take a little extra time to get this step right. Some keywords can bring thousands of repeat customers to your website for years. Other keywords won’t be found or rated at all.

Use a good keyword tool like Word Tracker to find the ultimate keywords for your market. Then use them on your website intertwined with fantastic quality content.

Getting quality search engine traffic does take a little work, but it’s very well worth it in the long run. Taking the time to set up your website properly from the start will pay you back over and over again.

Embrace standard SEO procedures. For example, it’s important to tag your site in a relevant category so StumbleUpon can find you. Additionally, you’ll want to insert the StumbleUpon integration code to pages in your site. However, you also want other people to stumble your pages, so don’t list every page yourself.

Embrace standard copywriting procedures. People are going to stop and review your site if you have attention-grabbing headlines and relevant and valuable content. Some experts suggest making sure your site is extremely content rich with information that cannot be read in one sitting. That way you’ll receive repeat visits from StumbleUpon.

Build a community. In addition to becoming actively involved with StumbleUpon so you know how it works and how better to optimize your content for the site, you’ll want to build a community around your website. This way you’ll be able to actively promote StumbleUpon on your website and in your communications, and visitors will naturally visit StumbleUpon, install the toolbar and start giving you the thumbs up!

Always give something away for free. You know the drill – to build your opt-in list and traffic to your site, give them something for free. This technique drives traffic from visitors that come to you via any medium, and StumbleUpon is no different. And they’re more likely to give you a thumbs up if they’re getting something for free – reciprocity.

Embrace standard website procedures. For example, make sure your site URL is easy to remember. Make sure your site is easy to navigate and make sure it’s also appealing to the eye. People sometimes give a thumbs up just because they like the way your site looks.

Finally, ask people to rate your site. Ask friends and family to give you a StumbleUpon thumbs up. Ask current list members, customers and even associates to get on StumbleUpon and rate your site and actively promote StumbleUpon on your website(s).

StumbleUpon is a great social tool to build your website traffic, community and profits. Use it, promote it, and follow general optimization, content and website design recommendations. Once you’re doing well on StumbleUpon, experts say your traffic can increase by as much as 800-1000 visitors each day. That’s nothing to stumble over!

#1 Do a thorough overhaul. Do all of your internal links work? Is everything pointing where you want it to point? Are your marketing strategies working to drive traffic to your website and social functions and features? This process should be taken care of thoughtfully and carefully with attention to detail.

One or two broken links may mean the difference in hundreds of visitors. If you don’t have the time or the inclination to go through every page of your website and make sure your links are working and if you don’t want to go through all of your marketing efforts to make sure your links are working, then outsource it to a virtual administrator who has careful attention to detail and move on to #2.

#2 Start participating in relevant forums. Network. Drive traffic to your website and engage people on your website as well. Be personable when you’re networking on forums. Create a profile, actively participate in discussions and be sure to create a link in your signature to drive traffic.

#3 Participate in social networking sites. Just like you’d participate in relevant industry forums, do the same with social networking sites. Be sure to link to your website occasionally in your posts.

#4 Send out invitations by virtually and by word of mouth. If you want to get more activity and life on your social website, then invite people to stop by. You can lure them with promotions, contests or sweepstakes, just make sure you follow through once they’re at your website.

#5 Blog all about it. Start creating a stir on your website. Blog about newsworthy topics, incite a heated discussion, post valuable content that people will link back to. And guest blog too, just make sure to include a link back to your social website.

#6 Increase the offerings. Sometimes all it takes is a little incentive to get people motivated again. If your social website is gasping for breath, put some life in it by offering a few good freebies or a new feature that will add some energy to the website.

#7 Be vigilant about participating and keeping the conversation going. Social websites fail when people stop talking to one another. Many people may still visit the site; however, if they’re only reading and not engaging with others then the silence can be deadening and one by one the readers will trickle away.

Give them something to be excited about; give them something to discuss by participating and keeping the conversation ball rolling. One by one the conversations will pick up and you’ll have a social website that no longer needs CPR or life support.

Early reports also show that Bing users are more likely to click on advertisements than Google users. Time will tell and Google will most certainly have an answer to Bing’s growing popularity. While we can’t predict the future, all signs point to making the effort now to optimize your website for Bing. Here’s how:

#1 Make your content longer than 300 words. According to SEO experts, Bing algorithms seem to place a higher value on content that is over 300 words. That means longer blog posts, more content on web pages and longer articles.

#2 Optimize your title tags for your keywords and use unique http://ebusiness-internet-marketing.com/blog/228/how-important-are-back-links/ http://ebusiness-internet-marketing.com/blog/228/how-important-are-back-links/#comments Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:00:41 +0000 admin http://ebusiness-internet-marketing.com/blog/?p=228

The problem most of the time is that people read too much and try to implement everything at once, thinking that if they do everything they increase their possibilities of success. Unfortunately it doesn’t work this way and most importantly if you don’t have a plan and you don’t build a strategy, whatever you do will be random acts and desperate measures that would inevitably lead to a traffic disaster.

Make a detailed plan of your strategy, as if you are playing a strategy game and you need to know when and how you will move your troops. You cannot achieve anything accidentally, especially not in a world where thousands of businesses are trying to get a piece of the pie and do the same things you are trying to do. Unless you are really lucky, if you are not focused and well prepared you will fail.

Since you cannot do everything at once it is a good idea to start focusing on particular methods and techniques that suit you and can work for you. If you are not a keen writer, either don’t do article marketing, or hire a freelancer to do it for you. Try to choose the technique you prefer and become an expert in it. It will probably be the best idea.

Once you spend some time perfecting one technique, you can put it in action, monitor it for a while and then, after getting some serious results you are ready to go to the next step. You will be in a position to evaluate yourself, your abilities, as well as your limits so you will know what works better for you and what you can still ameliorate and enrich.

Generating web traffic doesn’t happen overnight, and you need to stay focused and determined in order to be able to succeed. Do not make the mistake that many online businessmen seem to make. Do not overestimate your abilities over the others. Everything has its own way and you should find the one that is more practical and versatile for you, so you can apply the theories you have been reading up on and achieve your goals.

Web traffic is the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a website. The more the visitors, the more is the popularity of the website. To make the website popular and to increase the traffic to it you have to consider certain basic factors. It is akin to seeing a beautiful shop on a street. If no one enters it, it is not a success however good it may be. All sites monitor the web traffic, the incoming and the outgoing traffic and decide which pages of their website are popular and whether there are any apparent trends. Like a certain page is viewed by a certain age group, or by people of a certain country.

Web traffic is monitored in various ways and the data is used to measure information.

One way of increasing web traffic is by including them on search engines and through search engine optimization. Web traffic is analyzed by viewing the traffic statistics and by counting the number of hits for each page. A hit is generated when any file is opened by a viewer. A file can be a page or images in it. Thus a page with four pictures can have five hits per person.

When monitoring the web traffic you can see the number of visitors, the average number of page views per visitor, average visit duration and so on. If there are more number of page views per person, it could indicate that the visitors go deep into the site because they like it or find it useful. Hence to have heavy web traffic one should make the website interesting and useful. You can also find out the busiest time when most visitors visit the web site so that this information can be used for promotional campaigns. Web traffic can be high at certain times. Like stock dealings during business hours, entertainment during new releases etc,.

Similarly it is possible to find out if the pages are good or bad as web traffic is the best indicator. If the web traffic is less, then the page may be uninteresting or slow to load as well. Not only do you need to ensure that your design a website in such a manner as to attract and retain attention, you also need to make it functional and user friendly. The average web user’s attention span is low and only well designed websites that are able to zero in on what the user needs have a lower mortality rate.
