A few ways to get some more traffic to your website
In order to get traffic you should follow these steps:
- Make sure everything you publish, write, etc. lists your website address: letterhead, business cards, ads, signature file on all email you send off (almost all email programs will allow you to specify a signature file that will automatically add itself to the bottom of all email you send off and will have your name, address, website address, phone number, fax number, email address and maybe a slogan.
- If you have the time visit forums and list servs where your target audience “meets”. Check the posts until someone asks a question that you can answer. Post your helpful answer. If the forum or list serv doesn’t allow you to link to your own address, they may allow a signature file. Check for their rules on these things.
- Check other websites in your field that are not in direct competition with you. Check to see if they have a link page. If they have a link page, add a link to them from your website and email to tell them that and to ask for a link back - also ask if they want to send you a few words of explanation to go with your link to them. Send them your full link, the words that should be clickable and a few words of explanation (if they allow that to others on their link page).
- If you have more money than time, consider pay per click.
- Add a blog to your site. Google subscribes to blog post notification services and likes websites that have blogs that are continually updated.
