Today, in the modern world, it’s essential to drive traffic to your website or business in order to establish yourself as an authority and get visitors interested in your product or service. Getting traffic to your website doesn’t need to be difficult, though; you just need to know what strategies work best and how to put them into action. Let’s look at some of the most effective ways you can drive traffic to your website today.

Content

It’s no secret that websites need good content to succeed. But if you want a huge spike in traffic, you should focus on adding valuable content. Visitors will come back over and over if they enjoy reading your site.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

The fact is that without good SEO, it’s impossible for most people to find your site on search engines like Google. It doesn’t matter how much time and money you’ve spent perfecting your landing page if no one can find it. So make sure to use keywords in headlines, tags and meta descriptions that are relevant to your business – don’t worry about stuffing them with obscure phrases or words (unless they work!) – instead, write naturally while thinking of what potential customers might search for when they come looking for your product or service. But above all else – focus on keeping things interesting!

Build Links

In SEO, links are like votes. More votes mean better rankings on search engines. The easiest way to build links is by guest posting or getting backlinks from other websites in your niche. It’s also a good idea to ask people for their opinion about an early version of your website or product. There’s no surer way to get people talking about you than asking them for feedback. However, always make sure that you’re providing value with your posts and building relationships before ever asking someone to link back to you.

Social Media

Use social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to spread awareness of your startup. Once you reach a critical mass of followers, you’ll be able to leverage their networks. For example, if John Smith on Facebook likes ABC Startup Company and Bob Jones on Twitter also gives it a thumbs up, Smith will likely trust Jones’ opinion and check out ABC Startup Company as well. However, only engage in social media if you actually enjoy it; otherwise your brain power is being siphoned off into another task.

Host Webinars

Webinars are a simple and easy way to draw in potential leads, as well as build trust with them. If you’re running a webinar, it’s also a great opportunity for upselling. You can offer an incentive (like information on related products or services) if people sign up for your mailing list. The key is to make sure that anyone who signs up actually shows up; otherwise, it’s not really a lead at all—it’s just spam!

Create a Newsletter

A subscription form can generate a steady stream of new customers. Get your visitors’ contact information by including an attractive opt-in form on every page of your site. Use an auto responder program to keep in touch with these new subscribers and provide them with valuable offers and information that will continue to build trust in you. Research has shown that potential customers are three times more likely to purchase from a business if they have been receiving newsletters from that business for over one year.
