I am nervous, I need traffic from India, but I have no idea why I can't get.... All my, already huge website is on topics of Indian philosophy and Indian religions, but it seems I can't get my appropriate traffic.... All my traffic is US, many other countries, many China visitors, but only some 6-10 visitors a day from India.... I'm getting crazy, when I started my website I believed MOST of my readers would be from India on topic about India, but noway.... What to do?
Advertising? - No much - Mostly G+ communities, a bit Facebook communities, but nothing much there...... Search engines .....here and there some other social portals
No Funds, and just a crazy idea for a religious - philosophy site.....I don't need an average Joe to come with eyes wide open - because the general public have no clue and never heard anything on the subject...
I have some traffic, it could be better, but not completely bad.... The major idea is people from India - whether they have some social websites I don't know, whether they prefer to read Hindi only (but I believe there are crowds of English-reading), whether google is somehow cutting me off from Indian visitors, whether Indian visitors would need some special themes..... what of the above is what I'm missing..
If your target audience would be US , then you would have only traffic from India. Try to be active on forums frequented by indians - webdesign forums like this one, etc., not necessarily related to your niche, but be active and show your signature, i'm sure many will be interested to visit your site.
When writing about Indians, not Native Americans, it is always safe to have all your facts to be sure that your information is correct and positive when talking about another race. Be correct and sure when posting anything.
There is lot of Indian based web directory is available and fb groups available. participate and post content that helps to Indian users. Don't give up. You can easily get Indian Traffic. all the best
Maybe we can switch places since I have huge indian traffic on some of my sites...some of this I actually ban/deny access If interested to exchange US traffic with IN traffic let me know... Cheers, S.
Keep in mind that just because your server logs say a visit came from the U.S. does not mean it is a non-Indian viewing the site. There are many Indians living here so it would be natural for some of your traffic to originate from here (although the Chinese stuff is most likely spammers). Also consider the language. You said you are using a dot-com instead of an IN domain name. Are you also writing in English? If so, is that how most Indians search or do they normally type in a local dialect? Maybe translating your pages will help.
Social media sites like facebook will be able to give you good traffic. I believe many Indians are on facebook now because some of my friends are. You can start from there..
If youre looking for free ways to get traffic, you could find popular blogs related to your niche and simply participate in value based commenting (not spamming) on posts, or even contact the blog owners to offer to do guest posts, at the end of your posts, you could put a little about your website and a link back to it. To find blogs related to your niche, heres one way: you could visit a blog directory like blogs.botw.org, then put the subject of your site in the search box, a list of sites related to your niche will appear. Then you just need to go through them and see which ones will be relevant to your niche and take it from there.
I dont think traffic from US is a problem for you, bcoz when you will start to earn from your website US traffic is great to earn compared to Indian traffic.
make facebook fanpages related to ur nice and invite the friends and also use the facebook promoting techniques to get traffic from india
If you look for facebook groups like "add me" groups or "please add me" something like that. You'll definitely get what you want. If I am not mistaken, you can also filter your search. I hope it helps!
