Most people have no idea how to get traffic to their sites. But,
if you apply what I'm about to reveal, you'll be one of the few
who never has to worry about traffic again.
The first thing you need to know, is that the traffic hype is
just that, hype.
Forget about the click exchanges. You know the sites where each
time you visit another member's page, you earn a credit that
guarantee's someone will visit yours. Yes, you will get hits,
but they'll be worthless. The only reason these people are
coming to your site is to get people to come to theirs.
Forget the FFAs too. Maybe five or six years ago they worked,
but not anymore.
Okay, so what does work? CONTENT! Good content is what brings
people who are interested in a particular subject to a site.
Your site needs to have a theme, with loads of content about
that theme. All of the promotion in the world will do nothing,
if you don't have something to pull your visitors in and keep
them.
If I'm looking for information about Java programming, I search
for sites on that topic. If I come to a two page site, I'll stay
for a bit if the information is really good. However, how long
do you think I'll stay? How many times do you think I'll come
back? How many people do you think I'll refer it to. Do you
suspect I'll link to it.
The sites that have repeat visitors, get recommend often, and
have tons of links pointing to them, are sites that offer
valuable information, and lots of it.
This is why forums are so successful, there is fresh content
everyday. I actually have my home page set to my favorite forum.
There is another site that offers a free programming tutorial,
that I go back to over and over again, because there is way to
much infomation to take in all at once. And this is only one of
their many tutorials.
So get busy building your site around a theme. Add good fresh
content every chance you get. Getting traffic is easy when your
site is worthy of it.
