Many coaches and other online business owners report trying various online programs that increase their web site traffic. Unfortunately, that does not increase their sales. Why does this happen? Because many times when you buy traffic, it is not targeted enough.
Not all web site traffic is created equal. Untargeted traffic rarely converts into sales, while targeted traffic is actively searching for your products, services and newsletter.
If you want to increase sales, your best bet is gaining more targeted traffic to your web site. Here are some of our favorite ways for driving more targeted traffic:
Writing articles on your subject of expertise is an excellent way to get better known throughout your online community and to let target clients know about your expertise.
Syndicating (allowing other web sites to reprint) your articles also helps you build traffic to your web site. So how can giving the proverbial farm away help you build traffic? The terms of use of your article state that reprinting in any form is allowed only if the site that uses the article includes a resource box.
A resource box is a block of text that appears after the article. It typically consists of 2-4 sentences that include your bio and a link back to your business web site.
Search engine optimization is the process of modifying web page content and meta-information to improve the search engine ranking of the page. Using good keywords to optimize your web site for search engines helps you bring targeted traffic to your web site.
A business blog is an excellent tool to toot your own horn, let the world know about your new products, and tell your target customers why they should do business with you, rather than your competitor.
Blog posts that are keyword-rich help you bring targeted traffic from search engines, and blog posts that are educational and interesting to read help you build relationships with people who read your blog. Strive to make your blog posts optimized and educational - that way you get the search engines and your readers interested in what you have to say.
