Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
The biggest problem most marketers face is driving visitors to their websites. No visitors, no income. It’s a simple as that.One of the best “free” ways to get traffic to your site is rom the search engines via natural search engine rankings. however to maintain a high page rank (and a high search engine ranking), you need to regularly add new and fresh content to your website.
A great method of doing this on a regular basis is with a blog. With a blog it’s a simple matter of adding a new post at least once a week. Of course the more often you can add new relevant comments, the better it will be. Now the easiest way to create new and fresh content each week without doing it yourself is to encourage your readers to submit their own comments on your site.Having other people submit content will act as “fodder″ for the search engines and help to increase your traffic flow through higher rankings.
Below are 4 simple tips to entice your visitors to add content to your site:
1. Discussion Forums
Add a forum to your site and then encourage your readers to post or enter discussions. You will need software that allows forum posts to be picked up by search engines to make this effective, but you can easily find these for free online.
2. Blog Comments
As we’ve already discussed above, simply allow your readers to add comments to your blog. If you want to create a healthy number of comments, discuss a controversial subject and ask for your readers views on this subject.[Note: You may want to review each post prior to approving comments to help prevent blog spam or personal attacks.]
3. Product Reviews
You could ask visitors to post their views or recommendations of certain products.This not only adds valuable content to your site, but it also provides a useful service to other readers who may be interested in these products.
4. Articles and ideas
Ask your readers to submit relevant articles and ideas on topics they are finding difficult to understand or need tips on to grow their own income. You could even run a contest and give a suitable prize or monetary reward each month for the best article or tip submitted.These are just a few ideas to get new content on your
sites for the search engines.
