There’s really only one way to increase search engine traffic and that is to improve your rankings in the search engines. This process is known as search engine optimisation or seo for short.
The goal of almost all webmasters, businesses, and entrepreneurs, is to get their website (more accurately web pages) listed at number one on Google for their chosen keyword or keyword phrase. What are the benefits of being at number one on Google? Well imagine that you held the number one position for the keyphrase “make money” -
GoogleTrends shows us that we could expect 16,667 visitors a day, from Google alone. I don’t care how bad your product offer is, or how bad your sales letter is, with that volume of traffic, YOU WILL MAKE MONEY.
Of course you can see that your “make money” web page will be competing against over 30 million other web pages that all want to be number one for that term. If you manage to beat 99.999% of your competitors (and for that keyphrase, it’s going to takes years, and a lot of money to do that) your web page will show up as result 315 on Google. I’m guessing that’s going to get you about 1 visitor a day … if you’re lucky.
