Digging Up the All Important Traffic
One of the four pillars of the monetization formula I showed you earlier is traffic. You
won’t make a cent if you don’t get some bodies in front of computers looking at your
website. That’s the biggest mistake that many people make. They focus on getting
the sites just right, getting as much content as possible, and then forget to actually
make sure people read the content. To a certain point, quality content will get some
traffic on its own – search engines just like content. But, it will only get you so far.
You still need to go out and learn what it takes to generate traffic above and beyond
what little you get through the content you write.
And when it comes to traffic, nothing is as important as search engine optimization.
Pay per click is all fine and good, but it’s on-going and it costs money. On the other
hand, taking the right steps – getting all green checks in the SEO analysis tool, and
making sure your site is user friendly – will help to boost your overall performance in
just about every possible way, plus the traffic is free. And there’s nothing better than
free traffic.
Forget the Competition
First up, forget the competitors. I’ve been able to rank number 1 in niches where
there are millions of other sites. It’s not about breaking your back with link building or
writing 100 articles. It’s about doing the little things the other marketers don’t bother
with. It’s about writing content that is actually useful. It’s about targeting the right
people and the right keywords. Do all those things and the rest will practically take
care of itself.
What you really need to focus on is how many good competitors there are. Fifteen
million pages don’t mean that there are 15 million good competitors – just 15 million
people giving it a shot. Before you do anything else, make sure to use the SEO
Analysis tool from the last chapter to get a good idea of just how competitive your
niche and keywords are. If you tick off all the green checkmarks and still find yourself
working hard to rise in the rankings, it will be time to turn to backlinks. For now, let’s
look at the basics though.
On Page Search Engine Optimization
First up are the on-page elements of a good website. These days, the on page
elements include keyword optimization, navigation structure and avoidance of any
unwanted spam flagging possibilities. Here are a few things to consider in terms of
