Let’s have a recap before I share with you the last tip in the series.

Tip #1 Make sure you’re actually tagging your keywords

Tip #2 Add content to your site daily

Tip #3 Procure valuable and relevant incoming links

Tip #4 Be Social!

And now, here’s the 5th tip…….

Tip #5 Advertise for more exposure and traffic

Advertising, when handled strategically, can be used to promote your content and products or services. PPC advertising is often the tool of choice because you control the advertising budget on a daily basis and have the tools to test and track your advertising efforts. Once you’ve honed your PPC ads the return on investment can be phenomenal in terms of traffic and purchases.

For maximum results, create a traffic and SEO strategy. Outline your plan and your goals and then take the necessary action. Take advantage of these five traffic and search engine tips to boost your business.

You may find PPC a bit expensive, esp. if you’re just starting out. What you can do is explore all possible avenues of traffic and promotion. There are hundreds and thousands of online advertising sites that offer free start up. Don’t pass them up. Join the sites and add your promotions. Remember to track your ads so you know which ones work best for you. Then you can focus more on those sites.

It is also important to be consistent in your efforts of promotion. I’ve been caught up in my writing that my site promotion has been affected. I’ve realized that this slowed down my traffic. I will need to get back on track and make amends to my schedule.

The arrival of social media platforms has somehow changed the way most of us do our business online. I remember when I first joined Facebook a few years back. I wasn’t into online marketing then, and I used Facebook mostly for games and all.

These days even offline companies encourage their customers to join and follow their pages on Facebook or their Twitter accounts. Indeed, social media marketing has come a long way.

Tip #4 Be Social!

Now more than ever before, internet marketing is about building a community. Whether you offer a forum on your website or you participate in social networking sites, social networking is a valuable traffic generating tactic. Sites like Facebook and Twitter can be powerful tools for generating links and traffic to your site – create a profile and then post comments, links to your site and ideas which generate conversation.

Get involved – many chat rooms and forums are industry specific, find those which cater to your industry, and begin participating. Speak to and connect with a highly targeted audience.

Tip #3 Procure valuable and relevant incoming links

The more websites which link to your webpages the more valuable search engines perceive you to be, though not all links are created equal. Search engines give more leverage to links from sites which are popular and credible and from sites which are relevant to your website topic.

There are different types of links.

– A direct link looks like a basic website address, for example, www.yourwebsite.com

– A text link occurs when the webpage address is embedded in the text. Readers simply click on the link and are redirected to a new website page.

– If the link is to an internal web page, for example an article published on a website, rather than the home page, it is called a “deep link.”

You can encourage linking to your website by:

* Adding content to your site.
* Submitting to article directories.
* Publishing press releases.
* Blogging and participating in social networking forums, chat rooms and social networking sites.

One good way to create legitimate links is to have a circle of blogging friends and then you can blog about one another’s posts. Or you can even guest blog on some of their blogs.

Writing is fun. But I’ve often been reminded that it is just one half of the entire process. The rest entails promoting it to the world. A well written blog won’t mean much if no one reads it anyway. So remember to promote, promote, promote, and promote some more. ^_^
