[B155]Bank Of India Web Site
by David O Connell, Dav
Online marketers, who wish to create remarkable profits in their business venture need to consider all the web site functions to attract a huge traffic flow. If there are no customers, there will not be any sale and the site owner will ultimately suffer a loss in the enterprise. If you too, are an online entrepreneur, then you must be aware of the importance of web site traffic generation.

Therefore, here are different methods of web site traffic generation, which will help individuals to make profits in their online ventures.

Methods to Boost the Traffic Flow:

SEO:

In the web site traffic generation process, you need to locate some prominent keywords of your products so that your web site gets top rankings in the major search engines. For instance, if you deal in cosmetic venture, you need to select keywords that define your products such as cream, cosmetic lotions and so on. It is necessary to spread these keywords thoroughly in the web site.

Whenever, online customers wish to locate products by surfing the Internet, they usually refer to search engine sites and type in the specific keywords. Instantly the major search engine displays top 10 pages of web sites that contain those specific products. If your web site gets ideal search engine ranking, those customers may come across your site and eventually buy those products.

Link the web site:

This is the second most popular way of web site traffic generation. In this method, you need to exchange links with sites that correspond to your sites. The rankings of web sites need to be high because whenever individuals visit such a web site, they may view your site and visit it to buy products. Many online customers bear this notion in mind, that web links present on the major web sites display credible products. Therefore, it is advisable to place web links in such web sites and experience huge traffic flow.

Article marketing:

This is yet another technique of web site traffic generation. In this method, you need to write quality articles on any topic and submit it to the corresponding sites. For instance, if you deal in fitness products, then write articles on fitness, include your web links at the end of the articles, and submit them to web sites that give fitness related information. You can also submit these articles to online article directory.

Many online customers visit web sites to read such informative articles and if they find these articles interesting, they may visit your site by clicking the links and buy products from you.

Search Engine Ads and Banner Ads:

To increase the traffic flow, you can place your product ads in some of the major search engines. This increases the brand value of your products. Moreover, you will have to pay the search engines only when online customers click your ads. You can also place banner ads for better results. Here you can place graphic ads that compel customers to click these ads and buy products.

Thus, SEO technique, search engine Ads, banner ads, article marketing and web site linking are some effective methods using which you can increase the traffic flow to your web sites. Start implementing all these methods of web site traffic generation in your business site and keep the money clock ticking.

For example, if you only had one other web site linking to your site, then your link popularity would be one. In other words link popularity is a measure of how may other sites are willing to "vote" for your site by adding a link to it.

Is Link Popularity Important?

Yes. Search engines have a hard job when it comes to deciding what search results to return. They attempt to return the most relevant results that are contained in their database. One significant problem that the search engines have is how to decide which web sites are best, which they basically do by calculating both the relevance of a site and its popularity.

To determine relevancy the search engines look at a number of on page factors, such as your title tag, your description and the keyword density. To determine the popularity of your web site they look at how many links point to it. Most search engines work on the assumption that the more links a web site has pointing towards it, the better it must be.

How Do I Check My Link Popularity

You can check your link popularity in a number of ways. You can use the link: command in Google. For example you can type the following in to the Google search box to check which web sites are linking to you. Forexample if I wanted to check the popularity of my own "Testing & Tracking" site I would simply enter:

The problem with this command is that it only shows web site that have a PageRank above a pre-determined value (Assumed to be a PR of 4 and above). However, this doesn't mean that the links which aren't returned by Google don't count towards your link popularity, because they do.

One of my favourite resources for checking Link Popularity is the Marketleap Link Check Tool - This web based tool allows you to check your link popularity as determined by a number of different search engines.

How Do I Improve Link Popularity?

Increasing your link popularity is, theoretically, very simple. All you have to do is increase the number of links that point to your web site. There are several ways of achieving this including submitting your web sites to directories, adding your site to link exchange, contacting other site owners and by distributing articles.

The most popular directories include DMOZ, Yahoo! and JoeAnt and there are many others including a lot of specialist directories that focus on just one theme. If you are looking for links to your niche site, submitting to specialists sites within the theme of your niche is well worth the effort.

A Link exchange is based on the 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back' principle and is an easy way of increasing your link popularity. In exchange for a web site providing a link to you, you agree to link back to them. Usually both web sites will place their link on some sort of links directory page. As a result both web sites each receive a vote.

Submitting articles is an excellent strategy. Webmasters and newsletter publishers are always looking for good quality content and having your article publisher on web sites and newsletter archives will earn you a lot of relevant incoming links.

The real secret of building your link popularity is to keep up the momentum. Do something every day that increases the popularity of your site. remember every link that points to your site can be clicked by a prospect and the more prospects you can get to your site, the more sales you will make!
