There is only one reason to build a website or create a blog; to get people to read your message. It doesn't matter whether you created your website or blog for fun, to share your views about a subject important to you, or to make money, the more visitors to your site, the better.
Even more important than increasing the total number of visitors to your site is boosting the number of visitors with a strong interest in its content.
Anybody can buy traffic, and most folks who do pay too much for it. But, wouldn't you rather get the free traffic that comes as a result of high search engine rankings?
Think about these things for a minute and the first million dollar "secret" becomes obvious. If you want your website to get as much traffic as possible...if you want that traffic to be targeted, good search engine rankings are critical.
The second million dollar "secret" is a little less obvious, but not surprising. The best way to get organic search engine traffic is by conducting a well-conceived, sustained link building campaign. Of course, the content of your site is important. Of course you must carefully choose your keywords, have them appear appropriately on your website, and use them in your link anchor text. But, once those things are done, your ongoing focus should be on obtaining high quality links.
Writing articles can get you hundreds of links like those in the author box below. In fact, for less than the cost of a good lunch, freelance writers will produce articles for you. And, submitting articles to news outlets and other websites takes little time or effort, particular with one of several available pieces of software.
Requesting links on appropriate websites can also move you well up the search engine ladder. And, while you can do it manually, there are several relatively inexpensive pieces of software which can make link building far faster, easier, and less tedious. Most SEO software offers a free trial, so try a few options before making a purchase.
The organization I oversee has offered a free, ten lesson website promotion course for nearly ten years. During that time, website owners have told us, again and again, that the most helpful of our ten lessons has been the one on link building.
Webmasters who want as much traffic as possible (and who among us doesn't?) need to commit to a focused, aggressive link building effort. If they do, their efforts are almost certain to be rewarded.
