27 Ways to Increase Website Traffic in 2018
NEW YORK, NY – I remember when Internet marketing was easy. Back then, it did not take 27 things, it took more like three. For me, it was all about:
- Knowing who I was trying to reach by doing some initial keyword research, then
- Optimize my web site for particular keywords and phrases my research showed traffic for, and
- Find links to point to my site including related keywords and keyword phrases in the anchor text of the links.
Basically, I could do those three things and watch traffic begin within about 24 hours. And back then, I could easily see which words were working as search engines did not hide that information back then. Now, you need to put a lot more thought into the website building, tracking and marketing process to keep things moving in the right direction.
