Traffic
Generating Techniques
Which traffic generating technique is least effective?
- Submit website to directories
- Submit website to search engine
- Use forum
- Use podcasts for campaign
It took me a while to understand what all the fuss was
about, search engine optimization is simply organizing your article in such a
way that search engines easily find them and index. It also means getting your
article on the first page of top search engines which guarantees lots of
traffic. We all know traffic usually equates to more earnings. I am by far no
expert at SEO but I have learn a few tricks that I would show you.
Step1-The
first and most important way to start optimizing your hub is to choose a niche,
the niche should be used when signing up for an account. Having your major
focus as a sub domain name is powerful tool in search engines.
Step
2
- Concentrate on the articles title, always include keywords in your title,
search engines love that. Short keywords are very competitive and you might be
lost in the crowd.
Use long tail keyword which stands a better chance being
found by people. Demography specific titles are like pay dirt they attract lots
of traffic and unique visitors.
Hubpages is highly rated and attracts a fair share of
traffic added to your high quality article you will easily dominate that niche
and get first page ranking.
Step3-Then
pay proper attention to the summary tab under the title in your editor, make
the summary interesting and to the point, include upper and lowercase keywords
similar to your title. Why pay so much attention to summary because on Google
search page it would appear under your title and could attract viewers.
Step
4-In
your first paragraph you need to include your keyword and a few times within
the text of your article, don’t do keyword stuffing that would be bad and
counter productive. When writing your conclusion makes it a summary of the
entire content you’ve presented.
Step
5-
Did you know that even your images attract traffic especially when they have
alt text that explains the image. Search engines need to see your Alt text to
understand what the image is all about, a good Alt text increases you hubs
speed and reduces down time.
There is nothing more annoying than trying to log into a
website and it takes forever; the visitor would simply go somewhere else.

Social
media and Bookmark websites
The social medial icons on your hubs are not there to
beautify the page, use them in promoting your hubs and drive traffic to them.
If you have a large following on twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook adding a link
to them would increase your traffic.
Sign up with various social media and bookmark websites
become active on these websites build an impressive following and use them to
promote your hubs. Theses are some important websites that can help you promote
your articles.
Forum posts on other websites also work if you are an
active member; if you are allowed put a link in your signature after insightful
comments to get traffic. Warning Hubpages frowns at links in their forum or
comment section don’t do such or you would be banned.
Why use back links because as they say it gives your
website juice, back links show the importance of your site and increases your
ranking. Pay attention to your ranking and study what others are doing, if you
have a link pointing to your site form a top ranking website this increases
your ranking.
So the more top ranked websites have you links the better
your rank, never use auto generated link builders you will be banned and the
links you get useless. Slowly build links by using forums, blogs with content
similar to yours, and sign up with smaller directories to back link to your
Hubpages.
Having a text link within articles that correlate with
your on top websites is a powerful tool in driving traffic and web ranking. New
websites take about six months before they start getting ranked by websites
such as Alexia.com
1 Delicious

Display Options

benefit of organizing your content. Display option allows you to organize your
groups such that viewers get access to two more articles at the bottom of you
post.
This function also addresses the need for one generic or
static link to other article within your sub domain; organize group increases
the time viewers stay on your site thereby increasing traffic.
Write
Evergreen Topics
News item topics tend to have short spells of huge
traffic and interest quickly winds down, evergreen topics can stand the test of
time bringing new traffic yearly. To maximize you hub potential, get
recognition from search engines concentrate on one niche.
If you have 100 articles on the same niche search engines
consider you an expert in your field hereby index the hubs appropriately. Being
an expert in a chosen topic might guarantee a first page fixture that attracts
tons of traffic.

to the niche including target audience interested in that top. Targeted
audience means only one thing more clicks, traffic and increased earning.
