Other Ways to Increase Your Sites Popularity Without SEO

Whilst search engine optimization is often the major focal point of people to increasing their traffic it is important not to get too narrow minded about the possibilities of developing traffic for your sites. SEO is far from the only way to bring traffic to your site, and I will cover a few ideas here.



Firstly, it has been covered to death in this article that content is so vital and having great content is the secret. Well now that you have developed some great content you should start trying get the visitors that have visited your site to become loyal visitors, so that you are not only looking to get new visitors to your site but you are also looking to get the ones that have already been here back. Now there are a number of things you might try, for example offering button that bookmarks the page, or an opt-in mailing list so that you can update them whenever there is an update on the site or even creating a discussion forum where your present users can go and discuss the issues of your site amongst each other. Sometime creating a forum to be an extra section of a site soon turns into the main reason people come to a site, to be involved in the community of similar interest. There are literally loads of ideas that will help your develop and sustain visitors to your site and most of which will give you better returns than the relentless quest to be #1 in the search engine rankings.

Another way to get the word out about your site is by being active in other communities and forums of similar topic to that of your own, and posting frequently in such places, as most of these places allow you a couple of lines, often called a signature, where you can make note of your website you own and run. Often becoming an active member of another person’s site leads to more users on your own.
