Is content ALWAYS the best way to increase Traffic?

Hi, I wonder if adding a lot of content in a website is the best way to increase traffic ( even though it has already a lot of content ). Is there any other ways ( free ) to increase traffic other than keywords and links ? Also, I do not think to be successful in social bookmarking sites.

Thanks

 

There are other ways recommended for increasing traffic such as writing articles and submitting them to sites like Associated Content, blogging, creating Squidoo lenses, RSS feeds and participating forums like you're doing now.

 

I agree with pka77. Getting content across a large number of sites with a coherent SEO strategy in place is almost certainly your best next step. Take a look at this blog entry for a very thorough SEO marketing strategy you can use to achieve this.

The idea now is to link back to your content in a way that helps you move up the search engine listings. This will help generate traffic, of course. But so will the activity itself.

It sounds like you're quite a prolific writer too, so I recommend you investigate article marketing. It will integrate nicely with the above SEO & marketing strategy (nothing beats marketing activity that delivers more than one benefit).

 

Marketing your site is how you get traffic. Posting up new content is how you keep the traffic coming back.

 

Adding good contents at regular intervals with seo in mind will bound to bring in quality traffic but there is no harm in promoting / advertising your site. Higher traffic is always welcome

 

yes, its the best way if you want high quality traffic but its hard to do it with content. You have to submit to article directories and wait for the traffic to come in. But its well worth it, and convert well too

 

Post articles to free article directories like ezineArticles.com, goarticles.com, articlebase.com and articlecity.com etc. to increase traffic.

 

Content is really just part of the solution. Content works because it can draw you SERPS and natural backlinks and these two things are great for sites which update regularly or are happy to add link bait.

For sites which have less, static, content then I feel that other forms of traffic generation from social media and links are important.

 

Content is the one you are promoting right? It can be of various formats like Text Articles, Videos and Audio.

To bring in quality traffic, you should make your content of high quality. This in turn will give you lower bounce rate which is considered as one of the 200+ factors affecting Google PageRank.

It will also give users good impression on your website and will try to go back again giving you direct traffic which is also a factor affecting Google PageRank.

Higher traffic will give you revenue to fund site architecture organization remodeling which is also a factor affecting Google PageRank.

"Content is King." and that is true.

 

Content alone won't bring you a lot of traffic. You will need lots of backlinks as well
In Google it's all about domain authority. Once you become an authority the more content - the better.

 

Marketing is helpful only in certain limit.All depend upon your site content matter if your site really helpful for other people then people bookmark them and they occasionally visit your site when they need help from your site.Basically if you have really valuable content then your PR(Page rank) also increase which is also helpful for your site in Google indexing.That's why have good and quality matter.

best of luck

 

Thanks, it really cleared all my doubts

Thank you for your time

 

backlinks. *Unique* content. Period.

 

+1

Also if you post real quality content! People will submit them to social networking websites themselves So another key is writing QUALITY CONTENT

 

What counts most is the content!.. Visitors will be staying long to your site if you have interesting and unique content.. Then we'll have higher chances to lessen the bounce rate..

 

I would say it is because Google loves updating content and thus increase your SER, thus gaining more traffic to your site.

 

If you do have a good content, if your content is fresh, original, and useful, you won't have to spend that much money in marketing your site because once people find your site and like it they're going to keep coming and they're going to recommend your site to other people and so on.

 

yes definitely contents are the best way to increase traffic you needed to have a relevant good contents in order to gain traffic.

 

Content is the key to retain the visitor for the long term. Like others said, there are other ways to drive traffic but it will only last for the short term. You need to offer the visitors something unique for them to return.

 

Yeah of course.. The content is one of the most important thing to consider.
Imagine a site without contents will it be good to view that site..
And be sure that the contents of the site is original and interesting...
