Increasing Website Traffic- We all want to get more visitors to our blogs or websites. The trick is how to get more visitors without breaking the bank. Here are some easy ways to get things started without spending any money. These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg of free things webmasters can do to promote their website, but they are sure to get you more hits on your website without costing any money. Use your Website as a Signature: Use your web address as the signature in all your emails. Adding a signature to all outgoing mail is a quick way to get the message out to everyone you email. This is similar to passing out business cards to people you meet only it's a lot easier. We sometimes forget just how many people we communicate with by email on a weekly basis, and this will give you a reason to keep those "forwards" moving. If you don't know how to make the HTML tag for a link, just try this: <a href="http://michaelarnoldart.com/" target="_blank" >Michael Arnold Art</a> . All you have to do is switch out your web address between the quotation marks, and then put the words you want them to see where it says Michael Arnold art. The target=_blank part makes the link open in a new window. You can also use this code on any blog or site that accepts HTML code. Join Social Groups: Join social groups and be sure to complete the profiles with links and information to your website. Places like Friendster, My Space and Facebook are free spots and easy to use. After you join and complete your profile try and join some groups that may be interested in your website content. On Facebook you can also add a business page and invite your friends to join it. The bottom line is is getting as many links to your website out there on the web! YouTube: Create a YouTube video. Make a video and post it on YouTube that has a reference to your website. Be sure to complete your YouTube profile and mention your website there. I am not very talented when it comes to making a video but I was able to make three of my videos by using photos I had or found online and Picasa 3. I downloaded Picasa here. It's a Google product so I was comfortable that it was safe to use. Here is how one of Website Creations videos turned out: Dog Encyclopedia. RSS Feed & Newsletters: Add an RSS feed to your blog or website. Make it easy for people to subscribe to your website by having a RSS Feed. This makes it easy for others to keep up with your most recent posts. The best service for this is FeedBurner If you need help creating one, read Website Creations "How to add a RSS Feed" There's an old saying that people won't buy from you the very first time they come to your website, so you need a way to stay in touch with them to bring them back again and again. By offering a newsletter, also known as an ezine, you'll be building a list of possible prospects which is invaluable to any site owner. You'll find a multitude of free and low cost newsletter services online. It's up to you, depending on your needs and what you can afford. If you don't want to pay anything, my favorite free services are: FreeAutoBot and Yahoo Groups. (Cont.)-------> |
