Tips to Get Repeat Web Traffic
1. Update the pages on your website frequently. Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You can even put a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated.
2. Offer additional value on your website. For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also advertise their books or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product.
3. You can allow customers to ‘opt in’ to get discounts and special offers. Place a link on your site to invite customers to ‘opt in’ to get a monthly newsletter or valuable coupons.
4. Add a link to your primary page with a script ‘Book Mark or Add this site to your Favorites’.
5. Add a link ‘Recommend this site to a Friend’ so that the visitor can email your website link, with a prewritten title, “Thought you might be interested in this”, just by clicking on it.
6. Brand your website to increase traffic so that visitors always know they are on your site. Use consistent colors, logos and slogans and always provide a ‘Contact Us’ link on each page.
7. Create a ‘Our Policies’ page that clearly defines your philosophy and principles in dealing with your customers. Also post your privacy policy as well so that clients know they are secure when they visit your site.
8. Create a FAQ page which addresses most of the doubts and clarifications about your product or your company that are likely to be asked. This helps to resolve most of the customers doubts in their first visit to your site.
8. Ensure that each page on your website has appropriate titles and keywords so that your customer can find their way back to your site if they lose the book mark, one key to free website traffic.
9. Never spam a client, who has opted for newsletters, with unsolicited emails. Later if they decide they want to ‘opt out’ of the mailings, be sure you honor their request and take them off the mailing list. They may still come back if they like your products. But they will certainly not come back if you continue to flood their email box with mails they no longer wish to receive.
Everyone who creates a website wants to get web traffic to their site. It doesn’t matter if the site is a hobby site, professional blog site, news site, or a one page sales letter people want to increase traffic to their sites. Rarely is it like the “Field of Dreams”, often “if you build it”, they will not come. They don’t come because they don’t know that your site exists. The purpose of this article is to give you several tips to not only get traffic to your site, but to have visitors comeback again and again.
To Your Traffic Building Success,

The primary desire for any website or blog owner is to increase the web traffic to his or her website or blog. There can be many reasons for this like trying to prove themselves as an expert in their area, to interact and network with others, to vent out their emotions, to help others with their knowledge and last but not least to make money.
As the internet evolves, new ways of attracting web traffic are opening up and thus providing new opportunities for the website owners. There are many ways one can use to attract web traffic like Article marketing (Top Secrets To Make Your Article Marketing Bring More Website Traffic) search engines(Tips to increase web traffic from Search engines), etc.
One of the recently popular and fast catching phenomenons on the web is the Social bookmarking websites. These websites provides the Internet users a way to store, share, organize and manage the bookmarks on their web pages instead of traditional browser-based bookmarks and folders. The big advantage of this is one can share the bookmarks he/she has found with others instead of sending the links of those websites to their friends by copying them in an email. As these services are maturing, many interesting features are being added by these service providers like ranking, tagging, tag clusters, users’ involvement for deciding its popularity, etc.
Some of the most popular social bookmarking websites are digg.com, Technorati.com, del.icio.us, reddit.com, StumbleUpon.com, etc. A website owner or a blogger can increase the traffic to their website by posting a interesting content on these websites and increase the popularity and thereby attract traffic.
Here are some tips you can use to build traffic to your website or blog using social bookmarking websites.
1. Share your favourite websites or blogs with others with useful tags. This will allow others who are searching for related content to find the useful sites you have already provided to the public. This will increase the credibility of you and thus makes others to visit your own website or blog.
2. By providing the relevant tag based bookmarks, you are basically endorsing the websites you share that they have good content and will be useful for others who are interested in the same or related content. This will help you in the long term to gain popularity.
3. Search engines often spider these websites to find the most relevant content and if your website or blog tag is popular then this will instantly increase your search engine rankings.
4. You can share your bookmarks with friends, families and co-workers and this will cause a viral effect and will increase your popularity.
5. You can submit your own one line descriptions of interesting content of your website or blog and if others are interested in it, they will bookmark, share and rank your website or blog thereby increasing your popularity and web traffic.
6. Use an attention grabbing title for your content as the users who are looking for interesting content will most probably click the interesting title first than any other one.
7. You can post interesting or entertaining or How-to (educational) videos to these websites and then see the traffic rolling in to your website or blog instantly.
That’s it for today. Let me know how you are using the social bookmarking websites for promotion of your website or blog or for just finding good content on the web.
