If you’ve got a business and have a website for it, you need targeted traffic to come to your website and stay long enough to see what you have to offer if you want to be successful. And, those visitors should also take action based upon what they see and what you want them to do.
The more time a visitor spends on your website, the more likely it is that that visitor will take action specific to what you want. One good way to do this is to entice visitors to keep clicking through the pages of your website. There are four easy ways you can increase page views.
1. Content is king. You may have also heard this saying elsewhere, but it’s doubly true on the Internet. Why? Because people are hungry for solid, real information that isn’t simply trying to “sell” them something. Provide this to them, and they’ll keep coming back for more. In addition, word-of-mouth can also bring others to your website simply because of the content you provide. And finally, search engines LOVE good, relevant content, which only increases your visibility. Provide good relevant content, and your site is sure to have solid, targeted traffic ” and high visibility, too.
2. Copy should be simple and short. If you have difficulty writing short copy, work on it. Remember the acronym “KISS.” Keep It Simple, Stupid.
It’s been proven time and again that basically, people who surf the Web have relatively short attention spans. Therefore, Internet writing has to be shorter than print writing because people tend to scan content instead of actually reading it as they might in a print article.
Don’t expect them to read a several thousand word article. On the Internet people tend to scan articles for the information they need. They will only read an article from start to finish if the style and content are so good that they cant help but read everything.
3. Format and highlight — carefully. You want tasteful headlines and phrases that pop when they need to and that stand out to hold your readers’ attention.
Carefully done, this type of formatting makes text more interesting to read because it breaks it up for the eye and gives it something to “focus” on. And don’t be afraid to use plenty of white space along with your text. Break your text up into small chunks separated by plenty of space, and you’ll make your content easier to read.
4. Put a site map and some article “teasers” on your first page to encourage people to click through to each “teaser’s” article and read more. (Site maps are also good for spiders as they crawl your pages, which in turn can increase your rankings with search engines.)
These are the four easy steps you need to implement to increase page views and get targeted website traffic to stay on your site long enough to get your message.
