1.Guest Post.
Guest posts serve multiple functions, but there are two which make them a selling point for those after fast gains. First, guest posts connect you with authorities who already have established audiences.
Take TechCrunch as an example—its readership is in the millions, so if you can get your brand featured there, you can lean on that visibility. Unfortunately, the more visible the publisher, the harder it is to get featured, so set your sights on something smaller to start.
The second selling point is the possibility for direct traffic; as long as your content is authoritative and valuable, you’ll wind up with a strong flow of users to your site. Plus, as a long-term advantage, guest posts will help you in both content marketing and SEO—because of that,
it’s my favorite of the five on this list. For help getting started with guest posts, see The Ultimate, Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Business by Guest Blogging.
2. Advertise
This one is so obvious, we’re going to look at it first. Paid search, social media advertising and display advertising are all excellent ways of attracting visitors, building your brand and getting your site in front of people.
3. Get Social
It’s not enough to produce great content and hope that people find it – you have to be proactive. One of the best ways to increase traffic to your website is to use social media channels to promote your content.
Social audience building can be unpredictable, but if you have your priorities in order, it’s an effective and fast way to scale your potential user base. Here’s why: on social media, you can engage with users publicly and directly.
You can use content to start attracting an audience naturally, or ads (more on those in a moment) to funnel traffic directly, but more importantly, you can actually engage with people.
When you engage with social users—by liking or sharing their posts, or just by engaging them in conversation—you introduce them to your brand. It takes some upfront work,
but in a matter of weeks you could theoretically build an audience of thousands to serve as a platform for even further growth. Here are some resources for how to get more social media followers:
4.Target Long-Tail Keywords
Got your high commercial intent keyword bases covered? Then it’s time to target long-tail keywords, too. Long-tail keywords account for a majority of web searches, meaning that if you’re not targeting them as part of your paid search or SEO efforts, you’re missing out.
5. Quantity vs. Quality Content
Many bloggers and content writers believe that publishing at least 2000+ word article every day is a huge achievement. And, if that’s your sole aim, then it is a huge achievement.
However, you need to consider who you are writing for and why you are creating content.
For most businesses, the answer to this will be that they are writing for their customers (existing or potential) in order to create a greater awareness about their expertise, products or services.
So if your 5,000 word article doesn’t fulfill these needs, then sadly it’s been a waste of time.
6.BuzzBundle (Paid But Free Trial Available)
BuzzBundle is a handy piece of software that helps to push more traffic to your website by engaging with your target audience through popular social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+), forums, Q&S sites, videos and blogs.
It automatically scrapes the web to find the terms you are targeting (you can use the same ones you are targeting via Google search) and replies, directing everyone back to your review site for more information. When set up correctly, this can produce conversions on autopilot, even while you are sleeping.
Google is always going to remain committed to providing the best experience that it possibly can for users, and if your content is deemed as ‘low quality’ by Google, then its ranking will drop as they will see it as being of no use to their search engine users.
