There are many procedures that you can pursue when boosting web traffic but some have more value than others. So if you have just launched a website or you’re struggling to grow your traffic, what are some of the tactics that popular websites use to get attention, bring consumers back and become part of your loyal tribe?

If there were 3 that should be on your “must do” do list then here they are.

1. Build an email list

Do this from day one by a free eBook or whitepaper that readers can only get by entering their name and email.

2. Build your blog and content for search engines

Search engines are the biggest traffic source for a website. This will not happen from day one as it will take time to get Google’s attention. Don’t ignore doing this from day one as it requires tenacity and will take time.

3. Create and publish awesome content

This may not be obvious to some but if you create contagious content that solves people problems and adds value to their lives you will collect fanatical fans. They will link to your blog and they will share it.

Write, create and publish the best liquid content you can. This will then flow across the web and build brand awareness.

By now it probably crossed your mind that this is a big mountain to climb but with the proper assistance it can be done.
