Cool Ways To
Attract People To Your Web Site
by Robert Kleine
It's obvious that getting people to visit your
website is the first problem facing anyone trying to do business on
the Internet. Here are a few ways that have proven to be valuable
traffic generators.
1. Give people a free subscription to your ezine. Almost everyone is
publishing a ezine nowadays so it's important to give something extra
with the free subscription. You could offer a free gift or advertising
when people subscribe.
2. Provide your visitors with free content. Your content will be more
attractive to your visitors if it's up-to-date or original. You could
also offer people the option to reprint the content in their ezine or
web site.
3. Offer a free online directory. The directory could be full of
interesting ebooks, ezines, web sites etc. If people find your
directory to be a valuable resource they will visit it over and over.
4. Give your visitors a free ebook. You could also include your own ad
in the ebook and allow other people to give it away. Make it brandable.
If you don't want to take the time to write one, you could ask other
writers permission to use their articles.
5. Hold free online classes or seminars. They could be held in your
web site's forum. The idea of "live" information will
definitely entice people to visit your web site. You will become known
as an expert on the topic.
6. Give visitors a free entry into your contest or sweepstakes. The
prizes should be something of interest or value to your visitors. Most
people who enter will continually revisit your web site to get the
results.
7. Let visitors download free software. It could be freeware,
shareware, demos etc. You could even turn part of your site into a
free software directory. If you created the software, include your ad
inside and let other people give it away on their websites for free.
You could also make the ebook brandable and charge a small fee for the
branding as an extra income source.
8. Offer free online services or utilities from your web site. They
could be search engine submitting, copy writing, proofreading etc. The
service or utility should be helpful to your target audience.
9. Give free consulting to people who visit your web site. You could
offer your knowledge via email or by telephone. People will consider
this a huge value because consulting fees can be very expensive.
10. Give your visitors a free membership to your online club. People
want to belong to something, why not your online club. You could also
give away a free e-zine for club members only.
