Website traffic

Did you know that search engines and directories are the main sources of traffic for almost every web site. Of course there are other sources that bring website traffic such as integrated marketing campaigns. For example if you prompt customers to visit your website through your other integrated advertising efforts such as TV, outdoor advertising, flyers, magazines and etc, then you are more likely to increase your web site traffic. However if your site is not ranked high enough on the search engines, none of that traffic will come to you. Worse, it might all go to your competitors.

Search engines are a very important source of traffic because it's highly targeted. Visitors that come to your site via search engines got there because they focused their search using keywords related to your products or services. But because there are so many pages on the web, and more submitted every day, your site is competing with an increasing number of other sites. So what can you do?
