To increase web site traffic to your website, there are several methods that have proven to be very effective. Some of them are no cost, some of them are low cost and some can be very expensive. All webmasters should know that you don't stand a chance of your website being seen unless you are using several of these techniques. Targeted traffic is the life of any website or e-commerce business. You can increase web site traffic by using a variety of tactics, tools, and resources listed here.

No Cost Techniques

1. Optimizing your Web pages by using on-page and off-page optimization techniques. Using your selected keyword phrase or phrases in your meta tags and as the title of your page using h1 tags. If at all possible use a PHP or other script to rotate through several different tags. Place your keyword phrase throughout the body of your text. It also helps to have your keyword phrase appear near the end of the page. These techniques will help to increase your web traffic by improving search engine results.

Web sites with top 10 rankings can get thousands of visitors per month. Using simple math, if your web site ranked #1 for 20 keyword phrases that each received 20 visitors per day. That is a possible 12,000 visitors per month.

2. Allow visitors to Bookmark your site. Many webmasters fail to use this simple option. Make it available on every page and always include a favicon with color to make your site stand out in your visitor's list of sites.

3. Add a blog - Giving your visitors a place to interact. Postings should be placed in specific categories and monitored since you don't want someone posting inappropriate or illegal content. What a great way to get new, fresh, free, unique content for your website.

4. Increase web site traffic by writing articles based on the keywords that you want your website to rank for. Well written keyword articles don't have to be perfect. They just have to be well written with useful information for the reader. The idea here is that an article may be posted to many article sites and webmasters who want new content for their websites will put your article on their website containing your resource box. This in turn will give you a one-way link back to your website. The search engines love one-way links.

5. Providing RSS Feeds is an easy way to make your site's content available for others. RSS Feeds come in several forms and if possible you should provide more than one form of RSS feed. These too will be an excellent source of one-way links to your website.

6. Banner Exchanges can be very effective at getting targeted web traffic to your site. Look for ratios of 1:1 or 2:1. Your banner should look like text and compel the user to take action and click it right away. Banner exchange programs have an option to purchase banner impressions at very low prices. You may use this to put your business in front of many customers. But be aware that it usually takes many thousands of impressions to make a sale.
