Tip: Increase Your Site Traffic Quickly

Published: Fri, 12/28/12

If you need to increase web traffic and/or improve the quality of traffic to your site, the absolute easiest way to do that is to seek out the sites and communities where your target market is already hanging out online.

You likely view these sites and sources as "competitors." Nothing could be further from the truth, though. In fact, those so-called competitors (or competing sites) will become your best asset if you learn to leverage them.

 

If people aren't coming to your website, go to them! 

 

Let me stop though, and state the obvious: your goal is not to troll the web and spam every site you can with your link. Simply find out where your market is hanging out, and join the conversation there. 

 

Start with these steps, replacing "keyword" with any of your main keyword phrases:

 

  • Search Google for "keyword blog" 

    Add the top blogs in your niche to your Feed Reader. Get familiar with the blogger, their style and their topics. Leave meaty comments. Follow them via Social Media.

     

  • Search Google for "keyword forum" 

    Join the top forums in your niche, set up a detailed profile, and introduce yourself or comment on a hot topic. No spamming, just engaging!


  • Search Facebook for "keyword" 

    Switch to using Facebook as your Page, and "like" the top Facebook Pages in your niche. By liking them as your Page, you can share their content to your page, comment on their discussions, and tag them in updates when you share their quotes or posts. 

     

    - Tip: Facebook Groups are really hot right now, too. ;-)

     

  • Search Twitter for "keyword" 

    Follow the Market Leaders in your niche. Retweet their best updates, respond to their polls and questions, and "@" them if you tweet one of their links.

     

    Keep in mind that you are building both your Brand and your Reputation in everything you do online.

     

    Doing these simple steps will get you noticed not only by the Market Leaders, but also by their readers & followers. And that leads to more followers for you, and more clicks to your blog or website!

     

    Ultimately you want to become known as a voice in the market with something valuable to share. The more you "connect" the more you'll get *awesome* opportunities for things like Guest Blogging, partnering on projects, getting mentioned by them, etc.

     

    This is one of the easiest things you can do to increase traffic quickly. ;-)
