Internet Marketing Tips to Get Web Site Traffic & Keep Them Coming Back
Copyright 2005 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.
