In order to attract loads of traffic to your website or blog, link wheel building may help. What is a link wheel? A link wheel basically builds backlinks to your website or blog’s main page, allowing you to achieve a higher search engine ranking. This may be termed as a kind of link building.

You can build link wheels by following the 6 simple procedures given below:

Step#1: Write a squidoo lens and link it back to your website or blog. Sqidoo lens basically refers to one person’s view expressed in the form of a single web page. The basic advantage of squidoo lens is that if someone is looking for recommendations regarding your topic area, your lens may lead them up to your website.

Step#2: Write meaningful and information loaded article about your topic area, linking back to your squidoo lens, and submit the article to various article directories. Remember to submit your article in only and only your niche, otherwise it’ll just be a waste of time.

Step#3: Next, create a hubpage of your topic and link it to the article you wrote and submitted to various directories. At Hubpages you can create a “hub”, which is basically one page of information of any topic. The biggest benefit of creating hubpages is that Google loves them and you are likely to rank higher if you’ve optimized your website keyword on the pages.

Step#4: Now build a Google Knol about your topic and include a link back to your Hubpage. Google Knol is designed to allow anyone to create a page on any topic which others can comment on, rate, and contribute to. It’s just like Wikipedia.

Step#5: The fifth step is to create a blogger blog and link it back to your Google Knol. In order to place links of different link wheels, the same blogger blog can be utilized.

Step#6: Lastly, you can end your link wheel either by leaving it “as it is” or by linking your website back to your blogger blog.

After following these simple steps, you’ll witness a considerable increase of your website’s ranking in the search engines.

Getting traffic, rather meaningful traffic to a website is the ultimate goal of webmasters today. “How to get traffic to ones website?” has become quite a generic question floating all over the web and many SEO experts are giving their input on how website owners can get targeted traffic pouring to their websites. Some suggest optimizing site for the search engines, and some propose social media usage, while others tell how articles and Press Releases might help. Among all these methods, a person sure feels stuck in a maze with dead-end.

In this article, I’ll not boast about the tried and tested methods to increase traffic to your website, but will give you an account of what the expert says in this regard. Matt Cutts, as we all know, unveiled the 5 hints to direct targets to your website in USA Today. I have simplified them in easy words for you to understand them better, here they are:

Cutts says: “You have to make sure the keywords are on the page”

Identify your keywords and make sure they are also placed within the content. Cutts gives an example of a chiropractor from San Diego who complained about not being easily found by Google while he never used the keyword “San Diego chiropractor” anywhere within his site – now how senseless could that be!  So, appropriate usage of keywords in the web copy maximizes your chances of visibility in the search engines, hence boosting up your traffic a great deal.

Cutts says: “Tags are crucial; because what’s shown in search results most often are the title and description tags”

Accurately tagging your website and each of your webpage results in listing your site properly in the search engines and causing more people to click on it. Always use your main keywords in title and description tags, but make sure you don’t overstuff it.

Cutts says: “Google looks at more than 100 pieces of data to determine a site’s ranking”

Backlinks are important all the way. The more links pointing towards your site, the more your site will be popular, and ultimately the more traffic you’ll get in return. If renowned sites are linking back to you, Google may also consider “you” as a respectable player in the online market and will raise your position in the search rankings. One thing is to be noted here that while good backlinks are effective, similarly links from poor sites may be harmful for you and may even get your site penalized.

Cutts says: “ blogging is a great way to add links and start a conversation with customers and friends. It will cost you only time”

Create your own blog, update it by frequently posting on it. A blog helps increase your viewership, eventually leading to your followership. You can even link back to your site and write articles related to your site’s subject in your blog. The comments posted by net surfers on the blog may help you attain more links. If you are putting interesting and original information on your blog, you are automatically generating a smooth way for traffic to flow in.

Cutts says: “Google’s google.com/webmaster offers freebies to help get your site found”

Using Google’s Webmaster Tools  not only facilitates Google to locate your site, but you can make your site’s working effective. The best thing is that these tools are totally free! You can upload text based sitemap, discover errors, test out robots.txt, identify penalties, keywords that get maximum clicks, and broken links etc. These tools help you fix all kinds of issues facing your website and monitors it for smooth functioning and also tells whose linking to your site and how many times Google bots “crawl” your site for new content.

Follow these five simple tips given by the Google’s SEO guru himself, and gurantee a swarm of “targetted” visitors driving to your site and enhancing your business growth manifold.

Are you missing out on email marketing?

Your business tells the customer about you and the products you offer in detail but email marketing is a way of telling your customers you still exist. It’s an effective way of building strong relationships with the customers and telling them up to date about the company and all the new products and events related to the company.

Email newsletters are also a way to revive in the minds of your customers about your market presence, so the next time they opt to buy something they would be likely to consider you first.

Pictures speak!

In order to induce visitors in making a buying decision and actually buying something before leaving your site requires an overall good planning and implementation. It’s a common saying that “one picture is worth a thousand words” and one of the simplest yet easiest ways to improve your sales is to show a clear picture of the product on your site.

Visitors are very choosy while shopping online, as they have vast options to choose from, plus they need to be sure what they are seeing in the picture will be actually good in reality too! If you show a large close-up photo of the product along with other photos from different angles, the visitor will be more comfortable and satisfied in buying it.
