How To Increase Website Traffic


To increase website traffic you need to have a solid structure in place to send traffic to your sales page or web page.

Here is one structure that if you follow correctly it's pretty much guaranteed to send traffic your website...and what is cooler is if you follow it you would most likely shoot to the top of the search engines... at the same time.

Right first let me establish something CONTENT IS KING... you will not generate traffic if you don't invest your time or money in HIGH QUALITY AND RELVENT content, ignoring Adwords of course.

Ok here is one of my traffic structures, basically everything on the outer circle you must do to the inner circles.

I.E On the outer circle we have SEO. So we need to apply that to the inner circles.

We need to search engine optimize (SEO) the following;

·Squidoo Page
·Hub Page
·Weebly Site
·Articles
·Blog
·Sales Page

And for layer 2 we do the same but to the inner circles. Ie we add links to our blog and sales page on our Squidoo page.


Ok now we go into more detail. Of course there are some variables here, say you're trying to promote your forum so you would link your Squidoo page to your forum in that case, just use your common sense here, the SALE PAGE is site you want to send traffic to... so non internet marketers this is your own website.


Layer 1 - SEO, FORUM, Adwords and Social Bookmarking


SEO

- Squidoo

We need to optimize our Squidoo page, start the first sentence using your keyword, for example "Increasing Website Traffic is...."

The content you put into Squidoo has to be very informative and great quality...much like this one . We are pretty limited in what we can do to optimize our Squidoo page, so all we can really do is use our keywords regularly in our page and in our Squidoo link.

- Hub Page

Hub Pages is similar to Squidioo but a hell of a lot stricter, you can only have one link in your page which should never link directly to your sales page or your page will be suspended.

- Articles

Optimizing our articles is a fairly simple, I follow this structure.

350-450 Words

Title or Headline The keyword has to go here,

2. Summary

Keyword again this is what will be shown in the search engine description.

3. First Paragraph

Keyword Here again

4. Body


Use the keyword a few times in the here.


5. Last Paragraph or Conclusion

Keyword must be the last word in the sense. Present a subtle lead to the resource box (where you promote your website).



- Weebly

Similar too

- Blog

There are many plugins to help you optimize your blog I recommend you use All in One SEO and Google Sitemap Generator.

- Sales Page

Use keywords, alt tags, h1 tags etc....

Search engine optimization is one of the most powerful factors you can use to increase website traffic. I have put together a full course on SEO including 27 videos that teach you step by step...the link is in my signature if you interested.

FORUM

Marketing on forums is very tricky you don't want to annoy people or get you and your website a bad reputation, so I would never send traffic directly to your sales page unless you're on certain websites where you can.

Only ever promote your pages in your signature, unless there is an opening for you to do so in a reply post.

So in forum signatures we need to promote between 1 and 3 of the following...

- Squidoo
- Hub Page
- Articles
- Weebly
- Blog
- Sales Page (Be cautious...in theory you shouldn't link directly here)


Adwords

This hasn't been used too much or talked about in regards to using Adwords to send traffic to Squidoo pages, hub pages, articles, blog etc... and I haven't tested this 100% but in theory you linking to relevant good quality content so why should Google charge you the world for traffic?

And the traditional, using Adwords to send traffic to your sale page, if it's done correctly you will receive tons of targeted traffic to your sales page. if it's not done right you will get tones of untargeted traffic costing you the moon. Take your pick.


Social Bookmarking

You should know about social bookmarking, if you don't, it's basically submitting information to places like Digg and Propeller. Read up on it a bit more here Social bookmarking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Submit the following.

- Squidoo Page
- Hub Page
- Articles
- Weebly
- Blog (try and submit each blog post)
- Sales Page (in theory you shouldn't link directly to your sales page or website...but it does add as a valuable backlink)


That's pretty much it for the top layer.

Layer 2 - Squidoo, Hub Pages, Weebly, Articles.


This area is what really gets major traffic to your sales page.
Squidoo, Hub Pages and Weebly are what Google refer to as High Authority Websites. Here is a technique I picked up which really sent a lot of traffic to my website and gave my web sites high authority.

Instead of just linking directly to your sales page and blog (which you should do) you link to your Hub Page, Weebly Site, Articles and Squidoo page.

High Authority (Linking to the sales page and blog) + High Authority (Linking to the sales page and blog) + High Authority (Linking to the sales page and blog) + High Authority (Linking to the sales page and blog) = Valuable Traffic Sent To Blog and Sales Page + High Authority Back links To Blog and Sales Page + High Search Engine Ranking.

Ok now what you need to do to your Hub Page, Weebly Site, Articles and Squidoo pages is basically link to each other but also in each you should link to your blog and to your sales page.



Layer 3 - Blog and Sales Page




Finally! Your Sales Page and Blog.

Your blog should link to your sales page and your sales page should link to your blog. Simple.

Your blog should be packed with high quality and RELEVENT information, And should clearly link to your sales page.




Following this whole structure correctly will result in a higher position in the search engines and a lot of traffic...well it did for me J

Hope this helps....

    Hey Devan,

    This is great. Thank you. I've been resisting SEO for so long because it seems like so much work to achieve your results... and then maintain them. I rather create new content than try to optimize what I already have.

    I'm sure I'm leaving a ton of money on the table with this approach, but it's no doubt my weakness.

    This is a great presentation that simplifies the process.

    Hi Devan,

    I appreciate you putting this info out, but it is a LOT more work than needed to get to the top of the search engines... assuming that is main goal.

    I'm going to release a wso this Thursday showing step by step on video 'exactly' how I got a page one ranking on google with less than an hour's work for a highly competitive keyword phrase. (Over 74 million results).

    I think you might be surprised by the results...

      Hey Mike,

      Is that traffic sustainable though? I can use social bookmarks and a couple other "tricks" to get ranked to the top over night, but keeping that position in a highly competitive niche is difficult work - but I could be missing something entirely.

      There's just one thing you left out.

      An RSS feed.

      Remixing your RSS feeds from your Blog, Squidoo, Hubpages, Articles and Weebly into one feed and submitting that single remixed feed to all the rss directories.

      Want another little tip?

      Create a web ring of webmasters to swap feed entries across the board to increase exposure. You give them space in your feed and they give you space into their feed.

    Devan,

    Great visual explanation of the entire SEO process. This is a long term strategy that has been shown to work. I've tried it before with good results, but it is hard work because of all the article writing and having to submit them.
