How To Get A Rash – Of Website Traffic……

Written By: Gerry on January 19, 2009 One Comment

OK, so you don’t really want a rash – you want a rash of website visitors. An influx of visitors that continue to come back to your website or blog everyday.

Seeking – Wanting more.

If this is what you want – then read on.

If you are working your butt off and not getting any results, then think carefully why this might be the case. Check out these simple points that you can ask yourself about your blog.

1.0 Content

What are you adding to your blog?

Are you adding regurgitated crap?

Where are you getting your blog posts from?

Are you simply rewriting information that is already out there?

Or do you have top quality information that is hard to get? Information that you have proven yourself provides good quality answers and new fresh ideas.

Really look carefully at it. Your content is the single most important element in a successful website. Your content should be based on your experience – facts that you have proven yourself.

2.0 How Do You Look?

How does your blog look?

Does it look professional?

Or does it look amateurish?

Have you used a template that is available to the masses?

Or do you have a custom made unique template? The look and feel of your site makes a MASSIVE difference.

Would you come back to a blog that looks crap? Probably not – so if yours looks crap – then ask yourself how you can improve it.


The dollars are in the detail. Making your site the best it can be and then making it even better.

Look at some of the big time bloggers. John Chow, Shoemoney, Problogger.

What sort of template do they have? Is it a mass produced template?

No.

It is custom made specifically for them and their BRAND.

3.0 Are You Using The Right Tools?

How are you marketing your blog?

Are you whacking up a few comments here and there hoping to get a few hits from others?

Is your blog indexed?

You need to apply quality across all aspects of your site to ensure results. This means learning about how things work and ensuring you apply them.

Learn, Learn, Learn – then Test, Test, Test.

Are your expectation realistic? The online world is highly competitive. You need to be unique and different to stand out above the others.

Stand out like a sore thumb.

Stand above all the rest. Check out the image at the top of this post. The Sunflower is standing above all the others. This is what you need to do. Otherwise you are just one in the millions of others.

Anything else you can add to this? Please comment.

    I created a website that has up to 250 hits but the only problem I have is the low traffic. My site contain a homework helper and a link to ACT and SAT college test also to help find scholarships. How do I create traffic on a broader scale without being on the google, yahoo and MSN waiting list to be part of there search engine?
