7 Tips To Get More Traffic From Search Engines

Link building continues to be one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to a website. But it’s not the only way to make traffic gains in Google’s search results.

Below are 5 cost effective ways I use to boost a web site’s traffic:

1. Video Marketing

Pixel for pixel, video snippets capture more search real estate than any other type of rich snippet, even more than authorship photos. Studies show our eyes go straight to them.

2. Mobile SEO

If your website isn’t configured properly for smartphones, it probably results in lower Google search results for mobile queries.

3. Social annotations with Google+

When you share content on Facebook and Twitter, your network basically sees it only when they are looking at Facebook and Twitter. On the other hand, when you share content on Google+, your network can see it every time they search Google.

4. Create Fresh Content

Websites that stop earning new links often lose ground in Google search results. At the same time, sites that never add new content or let their pages go stale can also fall out of favor.

5. Ongoing On-Page SEO

The factors listed here only scratch the surface of earning more real estate in search results. Issues such as indexing, crawling, canonicalization, duplicate content, site architecture, keyword research, internal linking, image optimization and 1,000 other things can move ranking mountains.

When it comes to web traffic, more is better. Use the tips above to maximize traffic to your site, for the glory of God!
