Increase Website Traffic for Your Business | 5 Strategies

5 Strategies to Increase Website Traffic for Your Business image Building a Website 2
If you a business owner, you are well aware that increased traffic means increased sales and profit. In essence, for your website to be successful, traffic is a key element that will contribute to it. The bottom line is that you might have the best website with the best content, but if no one sees it, then it is of little benefit. The following are Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques that you can use to increase website traffic.

Participate in Forums and Online Discussions

By participating in forums and online discussions you’ll meet potential clients, business partners, and network with like minded people. Your involvement can be a very effective strategy to drastically increase website traffic. All you will need to do is post relevant and meaningful content with a back link to your website. This will enable people who come across your posts to click on the link and be directed to your website.

Use Social Media to Reach Your Audience 

Social media is the ideal tool to create a proactive and professional presence while positioning your business for success. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumbler, and LinkedIn are networks where your potential audience is frequenting. You can connect with them and gradually establish yourself as an expert by providing relevant resources, tips, and articles with links back to your website.

Market Articles in Relevant Directories and Sub Directories

This is one of the SEO methods that have been proven to work like a charm when it comes to increasing website traffic… that is, as long as it is done properly. When writing an article, you should select keywords that you want associated with your website and then write effective and high quality articles using the primary and secondary keywords. Make sure that you use keywords naturally and the article should be interesting to your readers.

Use SEO Responsibly

You shouldn’t try to outsmart Google by playing games with its system to gain more for it. Though that might work temporarily, you may not benefit from it in the long run. Just produce top-notch content that will attract your audience in order to increase search traffic for your website. Here are 5 quick tips for becoming SEO savvy:
  • Write great content
  • Moderate comments
  • Add images or video
  • Use social sharing
  • Limit your links to 1 per 200-400 word


Share Slide Decks and Other Presentations

Posting informative articles to sites such as Scribd and Slideshare will help you to increase website traffic as well as brand awareness. By doing so, you will gain exposure to new markets and potential customers.
Now that you have 5 ways to increase your website traffic, which one will you implement today?

Increase Website Conversions | 7 Way

Do you know your conversion rates? What is your cost per conversion? Are you even tracking conversions? Are you starting to freak out because you don’t know any of these things?
If so, you’re not alone, unfortunately, and you should probably keep reading. Conversions 



1. Show more proof
 Add a “glory banner” of endorsements, client logos or social follows. For example, Voices.com, gained 400% in conversions after implementing this.

2. Test your headlines
This is the oldest tactic in marketing, but most websites still fail to do it. A/B test headlines for product pages, blog posts, and other landing pages. Visit WhichTestWon.com for 100’s of examples where websites increased conversions by more than 300%—just by testing headlines.

3. Use live chat
A/B testing showed that by having a live chat option conversions increased 211% for Intuit, 31% for EzTexting.com, and jumped 20% for Abt Electronics.

4. Add a security seal or trust logo
Add credibility by including a trust logo such as VeriSign, Norton or BuySafe on your forms. Most companies see a 15-30% increase of form completions. Blue Fountain Media increased form submissions 42% after adding the VeriSign logo.

5. Include videos on product pages
Even if visitors don’t watch your video it boosts credibility for the seller based on the fact they’re willing to put their face behind the product. After adding product videos Ice.com increased sales by 400%, Zappos by 30% and Shoeonline.com by 44%. For example, AppliancesOnline.co.uk doubled conversions and customers spent 9% more money on average using videos like the one below.

6. Test different images
A/B test different images and layouts for your homepage or landing pages. Most companies don’t do this often enough because they’re afraid design changes will create a poor user experience. This isn’t entirely true, just limit testing to once a quarter or twice a year. We’ve seen positive results with government, private, and even healthcare websites where conversions have increased by 10%  to over 300% after testing images, layout and forms.

7. Shorten your forms
This is another classic tactic that almost always yields higher conversion rates. The downside to shorter forms is you’ll receive a lot more spammy leads too. However, it’s no surprise that most case studies show that more form submissions lead to more sales at the end of the day. You can cut down on spam, without sacrificing leads, by using methods like honeypot instead of CAPTCHA which can cut your conversions by 3-14%. I suggest following these instructions for creating optimal forms.

Small business tips to promote your site by Web Design

Have you ever thought of hiring pros to take care of your website?

Lots of Small business owners are aware that creating website will give them poor results for SEO and customer impression. Therefore outsourcing website designing has been the main option for your creating a website.


What is the first step in creating a website?

With lots free Blog sites and pre-made website template almost anyone can create a website for free, however what does your poor designed website say about your business?
Before you create a website, you will need basic information such as:

·         Homepage
·         About us page
·         Contact page
·         Products and Service page and descriptions
·         Images
·         Logo and banners
·         Domain name
·         Color and theme

Your website design should also focus on your target audience, the layout and scheme preferences, it will give you a better idea on where to start. If you already have a website but need a touch up, you come up new ideas based on your established graphics and logo. Other times, if you are a newly start up small business, you need a whole new concept, brand, identity and Logo. Then you can start building your website.

See through the eyes of your target audience, One of the reasons why small business website owners do not achieve the level of success they aim for is that they forget to implement the right strategy for their website design. Lots of small to large businesses have large budget for their market research, spending hundreds of dollars understanding their potentials client’s buying behavior, without getting into a deep understanding on their own brand and design.

When you are looking at your potential clients points of view, if you should visit your own website as a client, would you be attracted to your own web design, is it easy for you to navigate and browse for your desired item or service? Could your website be easily shared to Social media or can you contact the owner easily from the website with call to action button or map direction to your local store? Too many texts less visual 

Remember image impress more than words, like you meet a person for the first time your first impression is how they look, how they dress and how they carry themselves in public. Creating a website design that is rich both in text and image, will definitely create more attention in the eyes of your visitors. If you have noticed most websites let the first sentence appear with an image to illustrate the text and at the end of the unfinished sentence there is a “read more” button.
