Whatever the purpose of your website or blog...whether it is for fun or for profit, it stands to reason that you want as much traffic as possible. Nobody ever complains that they're frustrated because too many people visit their blog or website.
Of course, not all website visitors are equal. Ideally, a high percentage your website visitors should be folks interested in the subject of your site, not surfers who wind up there by accident.
Some websites get all their traffic via advertising. But, advertising can be expensive and most folks who advertise get "hit and miss" results. For those reasons, and others, organic search engine traffic is your best bet. And, for that, you'll need good search engine rankings.
Think about these things for a minute and the first million dollar "secret" becomes obvious. If you want your website to get as much traffic as possible...if you want that traffic to be targeted, good search engine rankings are critical.
The second million dollar "secret" is a little less obvious, but not surprising. The best way to get organic search engine traffic is by conducting a well-conceived, sustained link building campaign. Of course, the content of your site is important. Of course you must carefully choose your keywords, have them appear appropriately on your website, and use them in your link anchor text. But, once those things are done, your ongoing focus should be on obtaining high quality links.
Writing and submitting articles like this one is a great way to obtain quality links (look at the author's box below). If you wish, you can hire folks to write for you, very inexpensively. And, there are several good pieces of software which can automate the submission of your articles to article distribution websites, individual website owners, RSS feeds, and media outlets of various kinds.
Requesting links on appropriate websites can also move you well up the search engine ladder. And, while you can do it manually, there are several relatively inexpensive pieces of software which can make link building far faster, easier, and less tedious. Most SEO software offers a free trial, so try a few options before making a purchase.
The organization I oversee has offered a free, ten lesson website promotion course for nearly ten years. During that time, website owners have told us, again and again, that the most helpful of our ten lessons has been the one on link building.
If boosting your website traffic is important to you, there is no better way to use your time than by conducting a focused, ongoing link building campaign.
