How to get more Traffic to your Site



People always ask us, how to improve traffic and how do get more traffic.

There are lots of ways. 

First and foremost, I believe, great post titles can get you on Page One of Google, for good organic traffic. 


About a year ago, Seth Godin did a post,

How to get traffic for your blog 
by SETH GODIN

 



Among other things,  he suggests -

  1. Use lists.
  2. Learn enough to become the expert in your field.
  3. Break news.
  4. Be timeless... write posts that will be readable in a year.
  5. Be among the first with a great blog on your topic, then encourage others to blog on the same topic.
  6. Share your expertise generously so people recognize it and depend on you.
  7. Include polls, meters and other eye candy.
  8. Tag your posts. Use del.ico.us.
  9. Do email interviews with the well-known.
  10. Answer your email.
  11. Use photos. Salacious ones are best.
  12. Encourage your readers to digg your posts. (and to use furl and reddit). Do it with every post.
  13. Post your photos on flickr.  
  14. Include comments so your blog becomes a virtual water cooler that feeds itself.
  15. Point to useful but little-known resources.
  16. Have relevant ads that are even better than your content.
  17. Write posts that each include dozens of trackbacks to dozens of blog posts so that people will notice you.
  18. Keep tweaking your template to make it include every conceivable bell or whistle.
  19. Write about a never-ending parade of different topics so you don't bore your readers.
  20. Don't interrupt your writing with a lot of links.
  21. Dress your blog (fonts and design) as well as you would dress yourself for a meeting with a stranger.
  22. Don't promote yourself and your business or your books or your projects at the expense of the reader's attention.
  23. Be patient.
  24. Write stuff that people want to read and share.

Someone could literally spend 8 hours a day on a single blog. Figure out how many hours you have to give, and spend the hours wisely, on all the different aspects of the blog.
