Driving Traffic To Your Website
************************************************

Everyone wants to know the big secret to driving traffic to their
website. Every day I see an article or an ad talking about driving
people to your website. Driving traffic to a website has become
the “holy grail” on the internet. People are realizing that 'if you
build it, they won't come... unless you give them a reason'.
Website traffic just doesn’t happen by itself. Your website is
just one of many millions on the web and people rarely just
stumble upon your site by accident.

There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. You can
buy traffic from vendors that will pummel your website with hits
from automated programs. This will increase your hits but will
it increase your bottom line? Probably not. You can set up blogs
that spider (connect to) your website increasing your traffic count.
Does this drive users to your website? Only if your blog is so
interesting that people are reading it. There are thousands of
blogs posted on the internet and your blog is just a needle in the
internet haystack.

Another trick is to create RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds
for your website and subscribe to other RSS feeds. This again will
increase your hit count but will do very little to drive potential
customers to your website unless you’re providing valuable
information. Tricks will increase your hit count but do very little to
drive potential customers to your website.

A better way to buy traffic for your website is by using pay-per-click
with Yahoo and Google. You identify the most common keywords
associated with what you’re offering and bid on those keywords.
This can be a costly option if you’re bidding on popular keywords
but it’s a reliable way to generate highly targeted traffic. In my
next newsletter I’ll go into more detail about using pay-per-click
advertising.

The best way to generate traffic for your website is to provide
quality content that will solve your customer’s problems. People
search the internet for information that will solve their problems.
Write and post as many articles as you can on your website.
If you don’t have time to write articles or can’t write then hire
someone to write the articles for you. You can have quality articles
written by freelance writers at www.elance.com for practically nothing.
The articles should be relevant to the problems your customers are
experiencing and to the services you provide to solve those customer
problems. Remember, it’s all about providing solutions to your
customer’s problems. Check the “How To” Articles section on my
website at www.valiss.com for more information about your website
content.

The bottom line is that you can’t trick people into finding your
website. You must provide valuable information that solves your
customer’s problems. Your customers don’t come to your website
to read your blog about how you spent the weekend. They’ll come
to your website if they know they can find a solution to their most
pressing issues. Keep your content fresh and relevant to solving
your customer’s problems and in no time you’ll have plenty of
visitors to your website.

Next time I'll talk about how you can use pay-per-click to generate
targeted traffic and not spend a fortune.
