Tips to Get People to View your Site

by Gina

I started my own website also. My site is focused on encouraging and uplifting christian women to see how important we are in the eyes of the Lord.

I use to get about 500 to 600 hits a day when I started it last year. Today I get about 20 to 70 hits a day. Do you have any advise of how to keep people interested in your site?

By the way, I enjoy coming to you site and I have booked marked it. Very well done.

Thanks,
Gina

Hi Gina,

Thanks for the nice comments. They are always nice to hear. :)

As for your questions, there are many ways to build the traffic to your site. When you talk about the number of "hits", it is really a question of what you're talking about.

I deal with the number of visitors and unique visitors I get every month. Those numbers are much more indicative of how your site is really doing.

Here are a few ways to build traffic to your site:

*Write free articles that can be distributed openly. If you look at my nav bar near the bottom, you'll see a tab for "free articles". My stuff appears on all kinds of websites. The only stipulation is that they keep my contact information and credits in place when they reprint the articles.

Those articles create links back to my site, which are very crucial to your search engine rankings. See how that works?

You also can try social networking with other Christian sites, do joint projects, etc. I currently have a monthly column on two other sites, both of which include my site address. I get traffic from both of those.

And of course, there is your rankings with the search engines. That accounts for the majority of my traffic. Getting ranked highly is almost an artform these days!

SBI, the system I use, teaches you how to spread "high value keywords" throughout your pages so the search engines like the page. My homepage has been ranked number one on Google for months, just because I make sure to meet the criteria.

Gina, I think I provided the link to the action guide that I use as part of the answer to another one of the questions that are listed on this page, but here it is again.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
