I've had my website for almost three years and I'm tired of low traffic between 150-250 per day. I don't have the money for PPC....tried it and it took all my money. I started writing articles on my website with fresh content. The articles have titles which are hyperlinks to the page.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.

    Try PPV, its pretty cheap and you can buy A LOT of traffic for the money you spend...

    Other than that, you might need to do a lot more Off page SEO and build more links to your site.

    You might need to do some SEO. Before that, do check out how many search per month on your keyword. If it is low, no point to SEO since you won't get much. You can try writing some free ebook to give away upon subscribing to your site and use PPC to drive them there. You should have a stable number of readers by that time.

    Link building is very important element of search engine optimisation, it is a part of so called off-site SEO. Having incoming links is great and it helps you get numerous visitors as well as increase website rating. However keep in mind that not all links are equal. The links that count are coming from reputable places with relevant content. Getting links from farm sites for example won't help you at all.

    Before you start doing off-site search engine optimisation you should focus on on-site SEO. Choosing right keywords and distributing them across elements of your site (title, metadata, headings, paragraphs, links, lists, images alt text, etc) will significantly increase your position.

    - Optimise your title, meta tags, headings and content for unique keywords
    - Prepare eye-catchy content which will encourage visitors to remain on your site
    - Promote your website with your blog - write interesting articles relevant to your site
    - Make sure you have internal links and XML sitemap
    - At this point start building quality links (better to have inbound links than link exchange) from relevant sites
    - Give it some time!


    At present search engines pay a lot of attention to relevant links. In order to have such a valuable link, basically you should aim to get links from relevant pages containing relevant keywords as the anchor text.

    Undertake...

    Extensive Keyword Research
    Then put in more unique and optimized content

    For your keywords remember:

    a) Use two to three keywords in the whole content.
    b) Start the content with the most important keyword and end it with the same keyword.

    Optimize your pages...
    Put the keywords in the title, description, and add more keywords in the keywords area. Do not forget to put H1 to H6 using the keywords. Alt Tags must be placed on the images wherever possible.

    DO Social Bookmarking

    Hope that helps...

    Traffic? Before you do anything, make sure that you have a very interesting content. However, it must be relevant on the type of website you have. If you're done doing it, then it's time to focus on technical things.

    If you are looking for the Traffic and decided to write article then it's a good idea to go for that. But i have a suggestion that in this you can get a good traffic from the Social media marketing. Facebook, twitter , Digg, Stumbleupon will help you in this. But it's not that much easy , you should know how to use facebook and other website for the same.

      Hahahaha, not sure how most of you can offer any advice without the OP providing important data such as his niche, competition, primary source of traffic and so forth. Everyone wants more traffic, so provide more information OP.

      I guess he could do more back linking.. lol.

      OP: is your website a micro niche website? If so, then 150 - 250 visitors a day is good.

    Guess you need to show us some of your work. Also I think try focusing on same keywords in all thhe post like for instance if your blog post are all about cooking recipes then do this for every title "cooking recipes: (input name of food here)". Other than that, use that word frequently in a grammatical manner but not just gibberish.

    Social networking, adding content, building backlinks, submitting your site to search engines (you would be surprised how many people forget to do this.)

    There are millions of ways to increase your traffic. My best advice would be to focus on the NON-paid sources, such as organic search results, social platforms, yahoo answers, commenting on relevant blogs, etc.

    Anything that you can target the people you want to promote the site to and it wont cost you a fortune. After all, you don't need 1,000 visitors who are interested in getting a free PS3 to visit a site about weight loss products. You would never get any conversions from that. So you want to make sure you are getting your link before the right audience.

    To get you started on some blog commenting, you can get a free blog commenter with built-in PR scanner at www.thefreeblogcommenter.com

    You can find and target relevant blogs to any niche, scan the PR's and start manually posting to the highest ranking ones. This should slowly start bringing in traffic, as well as increase your ranking in search results.

    Thanks for the input. One of the things that I want to do is make sure my
    site is optimized with all the correct meta tags, titles etc.

    Where are the h1 tags suppose to go on a website?

    How do I find sites that are relevant to my industry and have them backlink
    to my website.

    I currently have 2,800 Facebook Fans for my business how can I capitalize on this?

    I'm on brain overload.....thanks for your help.
