Hello How do I drive more traffic to my website, mine is a top lists website. I have more than 30 lists on my website which is a relatively new one, any suggestions on how to increase traffic to my website. Also suggestions on popular niche lists would be very helpful. Kavitha
Write high quality,informative & useful content for your website and keep update with regularly. You can use eyes catching photos and videos to draw more attention of visitors. You can also use social media support like create Facebook Fanpage, Tweeter, Google+page, Instagram, LinkedIn to increase traffic.
your website is young, it needs promotion so that people can know about it. advertise it through social media like Facebook, tweeter, post the staff that you do on to these sites and put links that the readers can follow into your website. Ensure your site is active, has interesting content that will attract people example you can post on current issues that mostly affect us everyday. post staff that relates with most people in real life.
Top X list sites are one of the easiest niches to get loads of traffic. The fastest method is through Social channels-FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, Stumbleupon, etc. Think of trending/current topics: Top 10 Christmas Gifts for Women in 2015 Top 5 Republican Presidential Candidates 2015 Top 7 Desserts for Thanksgiving 2015 Top 10 places to celebrate New Years 2016 Lists with trending topics like these will go viral on Social Media if the content is top notch. Don't cut corners on the quality of content, I'd create 1,000 word+ articles as well. When using the "year" do not use it in the URL-only the title. This way each year all you have to do is change the year in the Title to the current year.
I agree think of something that will interests people, or seasonal lists like the one kjh mentioned above. You can get idea on google trends to see what's the most search topic on the internet.
