Secret Report: Ten-Step Guide to Boosting Your Site's Traffic and Revenue
To thank you for linking to LitVillage.com, we are providing you with our exclusive guide on how to increase the amount of traffic to your website and develop a lifetime income stream from it. The company behind LitVillage.com, Azam Marketing, Inc. launched its first website in 1997 without a penny to invest. We couldn't even afford a PC and had to use our local college's computer room from the moment it opened to the second it closed everyday. We certainly didn't have any money to spend on marketing but, thanks to the free and low cost resources below, we have built a network of over 70 websites with hundreds of thousands of visitors a month. You will need to work extremely hard and diligently, but you, too, can develop your site into a successful, high-traffic enterprise without spending huge amounts of money.
1. Hunt for Catchy Domain Names and Get a Quality Paid Host
You probably have a domain name already, but you might consider getting new ones for different sections of your website or for different target markets. Gone are the days when it used to cost $50 to register a .com and most people can afford to have several domain names. Nameboy is a fabulous free tool to find available names. However, don't register your domain names with Nameboy: they are expensive. Instead, we recommend you use this popular registrar who charge half the amount.
If you are using a free web host, then ditch it - their intrusive advertising will stop people returning to your site and most directories will not list it. Spend some time at Webhosting Talk, which is the web's premier webhosting forum.
There are literally thousands of hosts out there, so it can be an arduous process finding a reliable one which will provide a good level of service. The one we use for most of our American sites is this one and, for our UK sites, these companies.
2. Put All your Energy into Creating the Best Website Possible
Now its time to create your site or, if you have one already, make it even better! If you are not adept at coding in HTML or another web language, you can build a website for free using the user-friendly systems provided by various providers. The best known are Wordpress and Wix. Their basic packages and hosting are 100% free and far easier to use than coding a website from scratch. Try to make your website look as impressive as possible: it is worth burning the midnight oil to make it look just perfect. We can't stress how important it is to have a professional-looking logo; most webmasters underestimate their significance. In this day and age, image is everything and a jaw-dropping logo will impress potential advertisers. If need be, pay for a graphic designer to create one for you.
3. Write Unique Meta-Tags for Each Page of Your Site
Although meta-tags are no longer as important as they used to be, with search engines like Google and Yahoo no longer using them, it is worth the effort to create unique meta-tags for each and every page of your site. That way you will receive multiple listings in the search engines. An invaluable free meta-tags generator can be found here. We would recommend you use a program called 'Profitable Keywords' to easily check your competitors' metatags. It normally costs $19.95, but you can download it - and some other fantastic software - for free at Azam.net
4. Do Some Market Testing and Then Tweak the Site if Necessary
When you have finished your website, ask your friends to surf around it and get their feedback. Big businesses spend billions of dollars on getting consumer feedback on their products and services, but by asking family and friends, you can gain an invaluable insight into how other people will perceive your site for free. You can also ask other webmasters for suggestions on how to improve your site on many forums such as SitePoint.
5. Submit Your Site to the Search Engines
Now comes the fun part. You can either submit your site to the major search engines manually or, to save time, use a submission tool. There are lots of companies which will try to rip you off by asking you to pay to use their submission service, but there's no need to pay a penny. We have spent hours surfing the net to find the best free submission tools for you!
If you are pushed for time, you can use either
this or this service which will submit details of your site to various top and middle-ranking search engines. A word of caution: never ever use your real email address to make site submissions. Despite what they claim, many of the search engines, particularly the smaller ones, sell the email addresses of webmasters who submit sites to them and you will start receiving more and more spam. Make up your email address or open a new Gmail or Yahoo Mail account and use that when submitting.
6. Don't Forget to Promote on Social Media
Don't forget to market your new website throughout social media. The more links you have to your site, the greater your link popularity and the higher your site will feature in the King of Search Engines, Google!
7. Also Consider Pay-Per-Click Search Engines
Free search engine traffic is great, but sometimes it takes months to properly optimize and tweak your web pages until those pages show up high enough in the rankings to do you any good. PPC Search Engines are based on the premise that you, the web site owner or affiliate program promoter, pay a fee to have your site/product listed before others. You can end up paying a considerable amount of money for PPC listings in search engines, but it can provide a valuable source of targeted traffic if you play the game with caution and guile.
Make sure you do your research first to choose the most cost-effective PPC search engines for you. If you do a search at
Webmaster World, for instance, you will learn about other webmasters' experiences.
8. Optimising Pay-Per-Click Marketing Campaigns
A good way to create a collection of keywords for PPC advertising is to view the source code on competing websites. You may do this with as many sites as you want, create as large a collection as possible. Here are some other useful tools to dig for keywords to add to your PPC campaigns: Wordtracker shows related search terms for any keyword and the number of searches in the previous 90 days.
Don�t forget to target misspellings, which many PPC advertisers ignore. You can sometimes enjoy traffic from common misspellings for a relatively low price. Two fantastic typo generators are this one and this one.
Carefully build a large collection of search terms. If you only use 20-30 "good" keywords you have to bid high on them and the traffic will be expensive. But if you use hundreds of words you can receive an equal amount of traffic without having to bid high amounts. Also don't forget the landing page people first see when they click on your PPC link must be optimised to generate the sale, sign-up or whatever your aim is.
And Finally, the $$$s...
It's only when you have finished promoting your site that you should consider adding prominent advertising to it. If, say, you have in-your-face affiliate links from the start, directories are more likely to reject your site. Therefore wait until your site has been included in directories, accepted by PPC search engines and banner exchanges, before adding banners and text links to the top of your pages.
When looking for merchants to promote, avoid the ones that merely pay a one-off lead or sales commission. Most of the wealthiest people in society can enjoy a high standard of living because they have residual income streams: they don't work 100 hours a week to pay for their Mercedes cars. Therefore look for stores that pay you commission for each and every purchase a customer you send to them makes - even if it is years down the line.
