How to Grow Web Traffic for Your Website?
Everyone wants their website to be on the first page of a Google search. That being said, if you surf the Internet then you will find lots of techniques on how to grow web traffic of your website business. But the sad truth is that not all of those methods are practically effective.
Let me tell you what I focus on to help my Blog grow its web traffic and advertisement revenue . Here are the things that I Personally do to grow the web traffic & Advertising Income of this Blog.
Search Engine Rankings & Link Popularity (Page Rank)are the 2 main concepts behind attracting more web traffic. Search Engine Ranking – means on which page of the search results your website page is indexed. If your article is on the first page of the search engine rankings then it will bring more web traffic. It’s that simple.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) = Keyword Analysis + Link Popularity
01) Keyword Analysis
This is the single most important tool behind the success of this blog. Now, keywords are the words that people around the world have actually typed in the Google Search Box.
The success of any business is; you provide the product, service, or content that the customer (Readers) are really searching for and not the things that you feel that they are important for the people. And by analyzing keywords, you can easily get the idea of what people around the world are looking for in your Niche.
Every time I come across a good keyword, or something that jumps out at me, I always have my word document open to write the keywords down for later articles. Once you have a list of keywords, you have to do just 2 things.
One is – that keyword should be in the title of your article and the second thing – they should be in article’s body as well. Please avoid overcrowding of the keywords.
This is 90% of work that anyone has to do if they want to become successful online. This really works. Now, there are several paid keyword tools that are available on the Internet, but none of them are as effective as Google’s Free keyword tool external. So don’t spend money on commercially available keyword tools (unless you’ve done your research). Use this best free keyword tool from Google. After all, Google knows its own search engine better than anyone else.
02) Link Popularity (Google Page Rank) -
Another important thing is the link popularity of your website. This will help you in 2 ways. One – your pages will be ranked high in search engines and second of all – the higher the page rank, the higher the quality of your advertisers … therefore more money per every click.
Link popularity means how many other web pages on the Internet are linking to your website. This is very important because Google considers every link that your website receives as 1 vote. And yeah … Google also counts the quality of each vote.
Isn’t it amazing? Don’t you think that we should apply this model for selecting our political leaders? I am talking about counting the quality of each vote.
You can increase the link popularity of your website by following these things.
- Articles Submissions on reputable article directories. I personally submit unique articles on Ezine Articles, Squidoo, HubPages, Knol (Google) & WetPaint. Each article you submit will have a link of your website. Google will definitely count those back links.
- Comments on other blogs (Don’t spam)
- Actively participating in the Forums
- Giving an Interview on other websites (This will contain your link)
- Posting Guest Articles on other websites
All the simple things that I have mentioned above will increase the link popularity of your website several folds over the time and the web traffic will come.
I personally focus on all the above things because they are simple and practical to do. However, the web is full of garbage. You can try anything out of that list. Although everything still revolves around the two basic principles, Keyword Analysis & Link Popularity. And combining all of this together is known as SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
The more your website is retweeted on Twitter the better it ranks in Google also.
That would make sense, thanks for sharing Wez
Interesting Wez… thanks for the info
I’ve read this before on a forum site but this was the first time I completely understand what it is and how it works.

Submitting videos related to your niche to different popular video websites like youtube, will also derive good amount of traffic to your website.
More of the same… you can get this same advice in ANY other site/blog on the internet.
