Learn how to increase web traffic - writing quality, useful, targeted content

How to increase web traffic is part of our series in prospecting and generating leads using your website. Our goal is to convince you, the small business owner, that learning this industry and mastering some the these techniques is necessary for survival, economic and health related fitness. We cannot function properly in society without adequate communication devices, land lines and cell phones for people or websites for businesses.

Here we will focus on building free traffic, as opposed to paid advertising, which leads customers to your website. We all have stories about failed advertising attempts in the various media channels so the focus here is how to increase web traffic organically, i.e. for free.

45 years ago I went to the library for research. The card catalogue listed books and manuscripts by title and author. The Dewey Decimal Code on the card directed me the physical location of the book in the stacks. If the book was checked out the librarian called other local libraries.

The card catalogue now is the search engine. When you type, www.google.com, or www.yahoo.com, or www.bing.com you are taken to a large card catalogue, i.e. a large computer data base. When you type in a search term, "beef cooking times", Google shows you the locations of all the books, not just in the local library, but from around the world. The books today are really "computer web sites". A very simple exercise for you and me, but truly a technological marvel when looking at the hard infrastructure.
