SEO Tips For Generating Free Traffic To Your Mini-Site
Part 3
on your course "SEO Tips For Generating Free Traffic To
Your Mini-Site". Today we have brought
you part 3 of this course, in which we'll show you how to
find and contact related site owners for building link
directories.
As we
all have well understood by now that traffic means business
and business translates to profits, then the most important
step in promoting our business becomes finding ways to bring
in more traffic to our website.
We
have already been through the strategies for optimization of
our web pages for the most highly searched keyword phrases
related to our products. We have also been through ways in
which we can find and dominate our competitive websites.
What next?
What Attracts Traffic?
That's
the question we need to ask now - what kind of information
are the internet surfers looking for? Most surfers are
browsing the net for pages that contain how to information
or where to find something it! In other words, they are
looking for free resources!
For
example, if your website is about pet food, your visitors
may also be interested in pet accessories or kennels. On the
other hand, people who do a search for pet accessories may
also be interested in re-stocking their pet food at the same
time! This creates a valuable possibility for you to attract
more traffic to your website.
Link Directories
If you
have well built link directories on your website (to related
products, though, and not your immediate competitors) then
your website actually becomes a useful resource for your
visitors. It finds a place in their bookmark list, which
means direct one-way links to your website! With
well-maintained link directory pages, you can attract as
much as 15% of your traffic per day through these repeat
visitors!
Not
only that, it also gives you a chance to get reciprocal
links from these websites. Once you put the link of a
related quality website in your directory, and then send
them an email asking for a reciprocal link, your chances of
having your request accepted increases many times over! When
these webmasters visit your well maintained link directory
page, they are more than willing to share links with you!
The
result is that you get added traffic from their visitors
too, who may be interested in buying your products or
services. And, if a visitor directly lands on one of the
directory pages on your website, looking for pet accessories
say, he may stop to buy some pet food from you too! So it's
a total win-win situation for you! These directory pages
will obviously get a high search position if they are linked
to related high-quality websites.
Time Consuming Process
Well,
you will need to spend considerable amount of time and
effort in finding good quality websites, visiting them,
adding them to your directory and then sending each one of
them customized email request for link partnership!
Moreover, you will also need to maintain the directory pages
properly, with proper page titles and URLs. In other words,
you will have to make sure those directory pages are search
engine optimized, so that people actually land on them.
Besides, you don't want those webmasters to see a haphazard,
free-for-all, poorly organized link page. You will need to
organize the links on the page into proper categories and
labels, so that both the webmasters as well as the search
engines love the page, and of course, your visitors too!
