Let's have a look at the three key areas you need to address when setting up a website in order to attract good targeted internet traffic.

Let's have a look at the three key areas you need to address when setting up a website in order to attract good targeted internet traffic.

1 - The mechanics of the website itself. Is it search engine friendly. Does the content match the URL? Are the expectations of your headlines and banners met by the actual content of your site?

Though this may seem a little intimidating at first, it really isn't that hard if you follow a few simple steps.

2 - Do you have a nice selection of inbound links from other authority sites in your niche? These will show you to be a competent and relevant source of information or products.

You can automate the link building process, and some of the methods for doing this are ethical and fair. However, at the start it is possible to get a few good links using free and simple techniques.

Visiting forums and blogs in the same field, and offering your opinions and adding to the debate is a great way to progress. Putting in a link to your site where appropriate.

A word of caution. Spamming other sites with links will likely get them removed - and you banned.If you want long term success do not be a "troll" on other people's sites.

3- Use of social networking. "Web 2.0" sites to promote your site. Showing what you offer to an audience that is actually looking for you is the very best way to achieve good targeted internet traffic. WEB 2.0 sites such as Youtube, Myspace, Twitter etc. offer huge user bases, and people into just about everything you could possibly imagine.

Putting all your off-site promotion together may require a small amount of time getting some simple video skills. The software required to produce videos from your PC or Mac screen is often free - such as Cam-studio on the PC. Both Windows and modern Mac OS's come with pretty good and easy to use editing software as well. There really is no excuse not to.

Understanding WEB2.0 and social media will be a huge long term benefit to you. Being an asset, joining or even forming special groups on these sites will allow you to increase your reputation as an expert in your field.

What are you waiting for. Get out and promote your site. You owe it to yourself and your web enterprise to give it the traffic it needs to survive.
