Internet Marketing Tips
to Get Web Site Traffic & Keep Them Coming Back
by: Jack Elmy
Are you wondering how you can drive more traffic to your website
without investing a small fortune in SEO or marketing
consultation firms? While at some point, it is wise to invest in
some professional services; there are a couple of things you can
do on your own to drive customers to your site that are
relatively inexpensive if not downright free.
Internet Marketing Tip 1: The Internet is called the
‘information superhighway’ for a reason. The average web surfer
is looking for information, not a product to purchase. They may
be persuaded to stop and buy something along the way, but for
the most part they simply want answers to their questions and
they want it fast. In today’s ‘want it now’ society, your target
audience doesn’t read web pages, they scan them. With so much
information available an experienced web surfer knows they must
scan a page, look for relevant information and move on if they
don’t see what they need. Providing interesting web content may
be enough to lure a customer to your site, but it might not be
enough to convince them to stay; especially if it isn’t placed
in an interesting and highly visible layout. Use short
paragraphs that are easy and quick to read. Utilize bold print
to highlight the most important information.
Internet Marketing Tip 2: Consider offering a free service that
is beneficial to the consumer. Offer free update services, a
newsletter or an e-zine. If you’re worried that this may be too
time consuming, put your fears aside. You can obtain free
services that will notify you when someone has signed up for
your newsletter and through the use of a distribution list on
your e-mail you can easily handle circulation for your
newsletter or e-zine. Keep in mind, however; when you are
putting together your newsletter or e-zine that the only reason
a consumer has for signing up and continuing to subscribe to
your publication is for worthy information. Don’t allow your
publication to become a forum for advertising. Provide
information that is of real benefit to the reader and that
convinces them to re-visit your site. In order to really make a
quality publication make sure you include a privacy statement
and provide a link in the publication for the customer to
unsubscribe at any time if they wish.
Driving traffic to your website doesn’t have to be complicated
or expensive; it simply requires a little creativity. Try
implementing an Internet marketing tip mentioned above. There’s
no reason to lag behind in the race for customers when you have
the power to drive customers to your site within reach.
