So you have a great idea for a website. Maybe you have a great product that you’re selling or you have some great information you’re putting out there for your readers, but you just aren’t getting enough visitors or enough business. There are some things you can do to increase your website’s popularity and make sure that your product or information is reaching as many people as possible. Especially if your website is a way to earn money for you, it’s very important to follow some of these tips and make sure that your website is visited frequently by repeat visitors and that it’s visited by new visitors as well.
Engaging Visitors from Their First Look at Your Website
When readers or clients first click on your website and arrive at your home page, it’s important to make sure that the look of your website makes them want to say and continue reading or shopping. If your website looks old or unprofessional, many people will continue looking elsewhere. Keep them on your page by making your home page clean and organized and by making sure your graphics and fonts are modern and easy to see. Images are a great way to engage reader’s initial interest, so try to include some photographs or images and not just text, especially on your home page. If you are running a business, create a logo and make sure it is prominent on the first page. If you are providing information, choose some sort of illustration or photograph that connects to your articles. By making sure your readers are engaged at first look, you’ll keep repeat visitors and attract new ones.
Find Ways to Link Your Website to Other Websites
If you’re concerned about how to get traffic to your website, a great tactic is to find sites that compliment yours and link to them. Don’t link to another site that sells or provides the same product or information as your site, but rather find sites that compliment yours, providing your readers with additional reasons to look at your page.
If you are writing about fashion, link your site to other sites about beauty or stylish home décor. If you’re selling jewelry, link your page to a website that shows interesting and stylish ways to wear jewelry such as the kind you sell on your site. If you can find ways to show your readers that your product or content is relevant outside just your webpage, your traffic will increase. If other sites start linking to your site, as well, you’ll definitely find an increase in visitors to your webpage, and therefore and increase in clients or readers.
Starting a website can be a daunting task when you aren’t sure how to get readers or clients. By making your website as attractive as possible and finding ways to make it relevant to your readers, even if they aren’t looking for your specific information or product, you’ll keep them visiting your site again and again.
