How to Really Get Serious Website Traffic

by Dan Waggoner, under Website Traffic Generation
galaxyI’m guessing you clicked on this title because you want to know how to really get serious amounts of website traffic.

Follow the directions of this article and you can have access to all the traffic in the universe for free.

I will try to be brief so follow along.

I have been doing this for over a year now. I’ve started new websites since the inception of the one you are now reading.

I’ve done a serious amount of social marketing on different social websites such as Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious, Facebook, Squidoo and the likes.

I know what it takes to get serious website traffic.

I’ve written hundreds of articles for my sites and other sites like eHow, EzineArtciles, GoArticles, ArticlesBase.com and many others.

If you are looking for a way to get enough traffic to your website to actually profit from advertising or possibly earn a living selling a product then start building a brand new site at this very moment. Build it using only WordPress.org if you want.


Keep the content of your site about one and only one subject. Narrow your niche down as small as possible. For example, if you are a watch freak then make your site all about Breitling Watches only. This will keep your keywords very focused and extremely search engine friendly. You will essentially write and display everything about Breitling Watches. The point is to get a serious amount of keyword density so that all the major search engines will see your site and know 100% that your site is a specialist when it comes to Breitling Watches.

Write 30 quality content articles with at least two images or pictures on each article before you go live on the search engines. Wordpress will give you the option under “settings” to keep your site private from the search engines until you are ready to go live. Once you have your 30 articles written and all advertising in place then you can change your settings to be search engine friendly. The privacy settings will simply be changing the robot.txt files to disallow the search engines until such time you are ready to allow them.

Use your site keyword when you are linking out to other respectable sites related to Breitling Watches.

Be sure you use a theme that has built in SEO or download a plug-in such as “All In One Seo.”

Try to always use alternative text for your images.

Make the site user friendly and easy to navigate.

When you have your 30 articles complete and all Seo done properly then go ahead and change your settings to bring your site live.

Start immediately commenting on other blogs and sites about Breitling Watches. Make sure to leave a link back to your site with each comment.

Submit your site to the biggest blog directories and search engines.

Submit your feed address to the well know feed directories.

If you have completed all these steps properly, you will be seeing large amounts of traffic within days.

Always maintain your site regularly. Check and repair broken links, continue finding new Seo techniques, write new content for your site often.

Write quality content related to your niche for other well know sites in the top level niche and always link back to your site in the resource box.

Get to know other marketers in your niche.

Partner with the ones you trust.

Maybe Brightling Watches aren’t going to be your niche but you get my point. If you love ice cream and you are an ice cream expert then make your site about one kind of ice cream.

When you keep your keywords narrowed to one or two then you are greatly increasing your success rate. You will enjoy extremely high amounts of free targeted traffic forever.

If you read this article from start to finish, you now know how to get serious website traffic.

Best Wishes!

Content Relevancy Is Still Key

by Dan Waggoner, under Website Traffic Generation

I have three different websites now and the biggest thing I have learned to date is that the relevance of your content is still the key to high traffic. The speed of the site, links, looks and ease of use are all important but the actual content carries more weight than anything else.

To be more accurate, content relevancy as related to your site keywords is the true driving force behind your website traffic.

For example, this site has quite a few articles related to Internet marketing but the articles are all over the place. At times, I will write about article marketing, music marketing, content, affiliate marketing, motivation, internet sales and so forth.

The site is not directed to one particular market.

I still get a solid amount of traffic, however, my new sites get quite a bit more traffic when compared to the kind of traffic I received from this site when I first created it. The reason is because the new sites are focused on one subject.

In other words, the content on both new sites are extremely focused on 1 or 2 keywords as opposed to 10 to 12 keywords. This makes the content for those sites extremely relevant to the keywords thus driving more free organic search engine traffic.

I’ve also noticed the same goes with article marketing. If I keep the content that I write on ezines and other outlets fresh and focused they seem to do much better by way of traffic to the article.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is this.

When building your sites, try to pick a subject that you are deeply interested in and write about only that subject. Keep your site keywords limited and stay up to date on the subject. If you can do those things you will always enjoy a large amount of free organic search traffic.

Here’s a video of Google’s Matt Cutts talking about the weight Google carries on content relevancy as opposed to site speed.

Adding a Favicon Icon to Your Site

by Dan Waggoner, under Website Traffic Generation

Many people often ask why they need a favicon icon for their website.

The answer is quite simple.

A favicon icon is a small image usually 16X16 or 32X32 pixel which shows up in the address bar of your browser immediately before the website address itself. When a visitor bookmarks your site it will also display the favicon icon in their list of bookmarks.

In simplest terms the tiny little icon serves as a means for previous visitors to easily find your website in their list of bookmarks. This is just one more small but significant tool to help generate additional website traffic.

It’s a bit of a subconscious thing but it definitely serves it’s purpose! If you ever pay attention to the address bar and the icons in your list of bookmarks you will notice that some if not many of the saved addresses do not have favicons. The only image you’ll see next to the web address is what appears to be a white sheet of paper with the right hand upper corner bent over.

If your site has a unique or bright colored favicon icon it makes your site much more memorable and easier for your visitors so they may come back to your site without having to search through all the different sites listed in their bookmarks.

People like things to be easy so make it easy on them!

Many webmasters don’t use a favicon simply because they don’t know how to create one or they believe it may be too difficult. It’s actually, however, quite easy to understand. The file has to be an actual icon file with the .ico extension at the end of the file name. An example of a properly designed icon file might read “my_site_favicon.ico” when completed.

Rather than struggle to try and build the file yourself you can easily generate a favicon icon for your website by visiting a website named Dynamic Drive.

All you need to do is upload the image for your file and click the “create icon” button. When finished just save the file to a location on your computer then upload it to your website.

Simple as that!

Now….go and add a favicon icon to your site today and make the act of re-visiting your site a little easier for your visitors.

Best Wishes!
