How To Increase Traffic To Your Blog Or Website

It All Comes Down To Targeted Traffic

Learning how to generate targeted traffic for your blog or website is probably the most important thing you can do if you want to be successful online. Because without traffic, your blog is like a ghost town. You might as well just roll up the sidewalks and go home.

But it's not just any traffic that you want. You need targeted traffic. People who are interested in exactly what you have to offer.

There's a big distinction between 'Traffic' and 'Targeted Traffic'. Anyone can get a few thousand visitors to their blog or website and within a month have millions of people traipsing through their blog.

But what good does it do to have one million visitors come to your blog if none of them are interested in buying the product you're promoting? That kind of traffic just distracts you from what you really need to be focusing on. And that is: Generating Tons of Targeted Traffic!

Understand that to attract targeted traffic you have to stop thinking about all the billions of people who surf the Web every day and stop trying to get everyone's attention. It's impossible.

Instead start focusing on bringing in only a few people a day and giving them quality information and your complete, undivided attention.

Attracting a targeted audience doesn't mean you have to work harder. You just need to work smarter!

Use Keywords To Target Your Traffic

There are millions of blogs and websites on the Internet and billions of blog posts and articles. Searchers can find you through Google or Yahoo or one of the other search engines, they can find you on Twitter or Facebook, they can find you through your articles or even through your PPC ads. But regardless of the path they use to come to your site, it all starts with keywords.

Keywords are the words that searchers type into their search engine when they're looking for information. When most people talk about search engines they assume they're talking about Google.

But there are search engines everywhere. Facebook and Twitter have their own search engines, as do all of the other social media sites. Article directories have their own search engines. Even your blog has its own search engine if you choose to enable it.

Because there are so many different search engines people can use to find your website, it's important that you use keywords in every bit of content you place on the Web. Not only in your blog posts and articles, but also in your profiles, your Tweets, your videos - everything you post should have a keyword relevant to your niche.

Go To The Source Of The Traffic

You write hundreds of articles and blog posts, you search the Web and comment on blogs, you join Twitter and Facebook and start gathering up Followers, you comment in forums, you build backlinks in the bookmarking sites. It's time consuming work but it's part of the job.

The problem is, too many marketers spend time on all of these different traffic generation methods and it's not really necessary. Again, they're thinking about trying to attract millions of people to their website, when what they really should be doing is focusing on those few people who might actually turn into buyers.

Instead of spending all of that time and energy peppering the Web with your links, go directly to your target audience. For example, if you have a gaming site, chances are the people who'd be most interested in joining your site won't be hanging out at Ezine articles. They're gamers. They hang out on YouTube or MySpace, maybe Twitter and Facebook.

Instead of spending hours every week writing articles that are never going to be read, you make much better use of your time if you set up a YouTube Channel or a Facebook Fan Page.

You Need TARGETED Traffic

you need targeted trafficThere are lots of ways you can increase traffic to your blog or website but they key is to attract targeted traffic.

Let's say you own a fishing tackle store in the middle of New York City and you want more customers. So you spend months putting together thousands of different letters, each designed to attract a different type of person to your store. And they you spend thousands of dollars mailing all those letters.

Now, let's say those letters all worked and millions of people are rushing through your door, right this very minute. Will they all buy something from you? Of course not! Most of them aren't interested in fishing tackle at all. They're only there because you used some marketing tricks in your letter.

Will even a few of them buy something from you? Probably not. Because you're so distracted by all of the millions of people who DON'T have an interest in fishing tackle that you don't have time to take care of the people who DO.

So you've wasted all that time and all that money attracting millions of people to your store for nothing.

You'll be much more successful if you do the keyword research so you can attract only those people who are interested in fishing tackle. And you'll have a lot more time to go out and find them, too.
