In a nutshell, there are just a few simple things you
need to do to have visitors come to your website. The most important
aspect to remember is that the search engines all use text to search
for a site. So it does not matter how nice your site looks, without
the right text in the right places nobody will find your site.
The two places you have text are on the visible page,
and embedded in tags in the header portion of the page. Both should
be crafted to include terms and phrases someone looking for a
particular product or service may use.
A site also needs to be fresh. If the content goes
stale, your site will drop in the ratings. The more often the pages
in the site are updated the better.
Beyond these two simple elements, there are a number
of ways to proactively drive in traffic. Basically, you need to tell
people you are out there — this can be via direct mail, e-mail,
advertising (print and online), editorial, you name it.
Starnet has been doing all of this since ‘the
beginning’, so whether or not you have a plan, contact us. We will put together
