Internet Marketing Strategies to get your website noticed
I often get asked everyday “how can I get more traffic to my website?” or “how can I increase my rankings on Google?”.
Well, there are several answers to this, not just 1. I will try to explain a number of internet marketing strategies you can apply to your website to build up your rankings and also get some traffic to your website.
Search engines will determine a website ranking for a certain keyword on a number of algorithms, mainly the following:
- How old your domain name is
- How many backlinks you have pointing to your website
- The anchor text back link that is pointing to your website (keyword)
- The niche/content that the backlink is on
- How often your website is updated
- How well your website is optimized for your keywords
- Whether your website has interactive media (video, images)
The most important parts of getting your website ranked are the backlinks pointing to your website and updating your website on a regular basis.
A number of ways of getting good backlinks are the following:
1) Writing up articles about your products or services and submitting these articles to article websites or blogs, with your keyword anchor text pointing to your website.
2) Writing in blogs similar to your niche and leaving comments on “do follow” blogs with a link back to your website.
3) Submitting your website to free directories, preferably with a high PR.
4) Within your blog write very good articles that users would find very informative in the hope they will visit your website again and may even join your RSS feed. Submit this article to all the popular social bookmarking sites (digg, reddit, etc..)5) Open up a Twitter account and follow as many friends as you can find that are interested in your niche.
