Hi, After a being online for more than 6 months my website is getting around 50 unique visits according to Analytics and somewhere around 70-80 according to cpanel traffic stats. It had times when it got almost 200 according to analytics but for a short while. Can you give me some suggestions on increasing traffic ? Could this small traffic coming from search engine be caused by some links indexed by google that are no longer available ? I have a lot of links that return a 404 not but that are still indexed by google. What measures do you think I should take ?
Are you getting good rankings for your keywords? check the keywords which you are targetting (what are the search counts) Focus on offpage with proper keywords & respective pages. keep on trying to quality backlinks.
Hi Traffic from search engine is directly proportional to the ranking of the keywords of the site. How many keywords are on first page of google?? What is the monthly/average searches of those keywords??? Their are many reason for the same... Looking for help, please contact me at webconsl10t at gmail dot com
your visitor my dislike your pages , and leave it once landed in your site. This will make a bounce on your google-analytics and will also rate your site lower for this. you have to learn where is the traffic coming from and adjust each page to it potential.
As content is king. If you will not include fresh seo optimized content, you cannot get good ranking. put the content that visitors interest
Hi PunctRo, do you update your website with fresh content regularly? Anyways, I don't think anyone should rely 100% on search engines for their source of traffic. Start experimenting with other method of getting website visitors such as posting to Yahoo Answers, PPC advertising and guest blogging.
keywords and contents are critical for SEO, so please pay more attention on keywords arrange, and update your contents regularly, your own contents is important, don't copy others
Hi, Thanks for your suggestions. As you probably saw my site is a game site. The initial targeted words were "free games party" and I managed to get first position in Google for that syntax. Problem is I think the syntax isn't such a good choice as people searching for that term I believe they're looking more for games suited for a party and not for online games. So they don't click on result returned in google because they read the site description or they click and they exit immediately. In the past months my bounce rate increased from around 35% to 45% and above. So I am thinking of adding the "online" keyord in title - > "free online games party" as I think this is more relevant to the actual content. But I'm not that sure it's very good idea. What do you think ? I am trying to add original content. I also think the average search volume for my targeted keywords has decrease in the last period.
It may take time to get serious traffic from search engine. Instead of just relying on search engine do blog commenting ,answer qestions in yahoo answers with your website link in them this will surely boost your visitors.

Vadim90 is right regarding this. You have to get the mix right. Good in links, good content, provide something your visitors will want to return to again in the future where they may not get elsewhere.
There are a few measures you can take. I find it really useful to look at the words that people are using to come to my website. Then target those words, check where you are in the SERPs for those words. There is a plugin that you can use which will notify you when you start to rank for a particular keyword, then you can target your backlinking to those and build on what you already have. Article marketing when combined with social bookmarking is very effective. Keep adding content is important for your visitors and for your progress up the search engines. It is really important to keep working on your website and making it appealing to visitors, who will then want to come back again and again. Have you got like buttons for facebook etc? So people can let their friends know when they have found your site? HTH Ruth
