Three Ways on How Content Can Attract Free, Long Term, Targeted Traffic to Your Website
Many people out there said that "content is king" when it comes
to web traffic generation. Even though, IMHO, content is not the
only king, I tend to agree with them. If done properly, content
can attract free, long term, targeted traffic to your website.
Here're three ways on how content can attract free, long term,
targeted traffic to your website:
1. Content attracts free search engine traffic
It has been well-known that the search engines love content. The
more content you have in your website, the more keywords you can
rank for, and thus the more traffic you can get from the search
engines.
However, not every content can do well in the search engines.
The search engines have sets of rules (also known as algorithms)
to rank websites in their indexes and some of these rules go
beyond content (off-page factors). You need to "optimize your
site" to meet these rules if you want to rank well in the search
engines.
The problem, though, is that there are differing opinions about
these rules and it seems that no one can give exact answers
about them. Also, these rules often change, which makes them
quite difficult to be followed.
That's why I usually only do little optimization, sometimes as
little as putting one keyword in the title tag and getting
links. I stopped paying attention to the details because they
wasted my time more then they gave me results.
2. Content attracts links from other websites
There are two benefits of having incoming links pointing to your
site. First, you can get direct traffic from people who click
through the links. And second, incoming links can increase your
search engine ranking. In general, the search engines count
incoming links as votes to your website.
Now how can content attract links to your website? Well, there
are various scenarios on how content can attract links to your
websites. But since I only have limited space and time here, let
me just tell you the two popular scenarios.
First, you can write articles with link in your resource box and
submit
them to article directories and relevant websites that
accept article submission. Many web publishers out there have a
"content deficit" problem, and they're hungry for your content.
You can get your links spread out fast around the Internet by
using this method.
Second, if your website contains "linkworthy" content, then
other webmasters might voluntarily link to your content or
website. However, this is a passive method, and you may not want
to rely on this method and wait for someone to link to you.
3. Content attracts viral traffic
Viral marketing works by encouraging other people to transmit
your marketing message to the others. If done properly, it can
spread your marketing message around the Internet just like a
contagious virus spreads around a society.
There are various motivations that can encourage other people to
spread your marketing message. One of them is the "desire to
obtain material possession." You've probably seen the tactic of
giving people incentive to spread a marketing message.
However, not all people are moved by the "desire to obtain
material possession." Many people are moved by mere excitement
or other non-selfish motivations.
This is where content can attract viral traffic. If your content
(that is part of your website or contains link to your website),
is extremely useful, informative, or just downright funny as
hell that people will say "Wow!" when they see it, then people
might spread or tell others about your content.
You can also try to increase the viral effect of your content by
making it easy for people to spread or tell others about your
content, for example by using a tell-a-friend script.
