[Most everyone is aware of SEO (search engine optimization) and PPC (pay-per-click). Hopefully your agency has developed a good SEO and PPC strategy that has increased your natural search rankings and your website traffic.
In addition to SEO and PPC, there are other traffic-generating Web 2.0 strategies that you should also be utilizing to enhance your traffic. Below is a list of additional tactics that we use to help our clients increase their website ranking and traffic:
1. Linking strategy: Make sure you have a linking strategy in place that connects you with appropriate and relevant link partners across the web.
2. Targeted directories: There are many industry- and category-specific directories out there. And many of them offer free listings. Be sure that you take advantage of as many as are appropriate to your strategy.
3. Joint ventures: Consider doing a cross-promotion with a related product or service, and set up reciprocal links on each other’s sites.
4. Submit content regularly: Submit relevant content to online newsletters and websites that target your audience. Not only do you gain notoriety as an expert; this tactic increases your search rankings on the subject.
These are just a few of the many Web 2.0 strategies you can use to increase traffic on your website. We are confident that a mix of SEO, pay-per-click, and the above strategies will deliver a noticeable improvement in your website traffic.
