The Four Smartest Ways To Spiral Your Website Traffic
By Cari Haus, Sat Dec 10th
Copyright 2005 Log Cabin Rustics People are paying pretty significant dollars for website trafficthese days. Pay-per-click charges of $1-10 are not uncommon fortop search terms. Multiply that by the 300 unique visitors perday that my log website gets, and you are talking atleast $300 per day, or $9,000 per month—depending on how manydays are in the month. “There Must Be Some Easier Way”
While pay-per-click may be a good business model for yourwebsite, there’s nothing like free traffic to lay thefoundation. My log site used to get 100 uniquevisitors per day before it started fetching in 200, and now 300on an average basis. The personal goal here is 1,000 uniquedaily visitors—but 10,000 would also be welcomed! Following are some of the best ways we have found to growwebsite traffic: #1: Website Optimization A local business magazine recently ran an article calling SEO(search engine optimization) the equivalent of “hocus-pocus”.The author of the article, who apparently worked for an SEOfirm, described optimization as a somewhat “shady” activitythat’s impossible to get a handle on. I say “Baloney!” SEO is not pseudo-science. It is a very tangible and real way toincrease website traffic. If you haven’t taken care of thebasics—e.g. making sure your website has a relevant title,focuses on the right keywords, avoids practices that aredisdained by the search engines, etc., you can be sure that,once found, your website will not rank as highly (or get as muchtraffic) as it otherwise would. Begin your traffic-garneringefforts by making sure your website is up-to-snuff. #2: Publish Helpful, Relevant Content Publishing helpful articles on the Net with a link back to mylog website seems to result in traffic spikes nearlyevery time. Notice the emphasis is on “helpful” articles. Thereis plenty of useless drivel out there by people who are beingpaid $5 to write an article. Not to insult anyone, but I spend2-8 hours on the articles I write—depending on how much researchis required and how technical the article is—and that costs morethan $5. It doesn’t seem to matter what you write about. My topics so farhave included SEO, the simplicity of Amish life, improving yourbottom

line, and understanding Google operators. The key is tomake them relevant, short and helpful. #3: Add more products to your website Our experience has been that adding more products to the websitehelps us to come up in the search engines more often. A personwho finds a rustic night stand at our site might notice that wehave log bunk beds. Somebody who is shopping for an unfinishedpine dresser might not be thinking of rustic at all,stumble across one our products, like the whole site, and end upfurnishing their cabin. Each product is like a fishing line castin the sea. The more well-described bait you have out there—themore “fish” will bite. #4: Improve your website conversion rate Five years ago, we used to get one log order for every100 website visitors. Now it seems like closer to one order forevery 300 unique visitors. Part of the reason for this, webelieve, is that the web has become more competitive. But wealso pay attention to our conversion rate. We are in the process of making a change right now that mightreally help. Someone pointed out that when you click on an itemto buy it within Miva Merchant’s standard interface, there is noconfirmation that the item has been added to your shoppingbasket. This might lead some customers to believe that thewebsite isn’t working properly. They might not be savvy enoughto check the shopping basket. They might even leave the sitewithout ordering (perish the thought!) These “glitches” can really hurt website sales. We went to theMiva Merchant site for third-party modules and found a scriptthat displays the shopping basket after each item is added. Wepurchased the script and install, and are watching to see how itaffects website sales and conversion rate. Our guess is thatthis will have a positive impact on sales. Conclusion Obviously, there are a lot of other ways to increase websitetraffic. The four listed above are a great place to start. Ifyou’re not into SEO, find somebody who is. If you are payinghundreds or even thousands of dollars of month for pay-per-clicktraffic, it may be wise to divert enough of those dollars toensure that your website is the traffic-snagging,profit-generating machine you intend it to be.
