5 Primary Traffic Driving Source Types
For a taste of what you’ll experience during our 29 Ways to Increase Website Traffic webinar, each way is outlined below. The webinar goes into each type in more depth and outlines specific strategies for driving website traffic with these methods.
1. Search Engines
- Homepage Template: The proper homepage template will communicate your brand’s main focuses while offering free downloads, content and aligned products.
- Article Templates: Every article on your website should be used to do two things. First, it must utilize targeted keywords. Second, it must be used to convert casual visitors into subscribing members or paying customers.
- Rapid Conversion Landing Pages (RCLPs): A key piece of conversion architecture that allows visitors to enter into low-risk relationships with content producers. Also known as a squeeze page, the RCLP develops mutually beneficial relationships.
- Author Pages: Often overlooked, these valuable pages showcase the talent and credibility of your staff while creating more opportunities to incorporate search engine optimized content.
- Topic Pages: As a primary navigation component that houses all the content on a specific category, topic pages are typically highly trafficked web pages.
- Tag Pages: Are you creating tag pages for your content? If not, you’re missing out of SEO opportunities and the ability to organize content.
All online publishers, editors and content producers need to understand the power of search engines. Watch our 29 Ways to Increase Website Traffic webinar and discover six in-depth ways to use search engines to drive traffic.
