are many things you can do to ensure your web
site is working hard for your company. Below are
some tips on driving traffic to your site..

advertising to promote your web site.
-
Put your domain name on
all marketing materials including business
cards, brochures, ads. One could, for example,
lists the website address in the white pages
of the phone book.
-
Get reciprocal links with
other web sites. While this may send some
traffic away from your site, links can be
a good way to access a broader target market.
-
Register your site with
the top search engines: Infoseek, AltaVista,
Yahoo, Hotbot, Excite, and Webcrawler. Over
50 per cent of hits to client web sites come
by way of Yahoo.
-
Come up with a good title
for your home page to actively promote your
site.
-
Use meta tags, which are
invisible to the eye but not to web crawlers,
and key words to attract visitors to your
site.
-
Using good page titles,
meta tags, and keywords are only window dressing.
You still have to offer content to ensure
your site will move up higher in search engine
rankings. Give people a reason to visit your
site. Articles you have written or consumer
tips you can provide help accomplish this
and may contain search words people are looking
for.
-
Use web traffic analysis
tools. Widget Webs track and report statistics
to its clients available online.
