Driving Traffic through Search Engines

By aYwaa | November 20, 2009

While looking for the effective tools or strategies to drive traffic to the website in Kuwait, you must have come across online marketers who sell you anything from banner impressions, to mass email campaigns (spam), to popup ads. All these marketing tools can work, but they are also extremely risky. So now you might be thinking why would anyone bother risking money on marketing strategies that probably will not increase traffic to your website? Why not concentrate on what does work?

It is true that the best way to obtain targeted traffic (customers) is to acquire it based on relevance, via the search engines. Various studies show that around 90% of first time visitors to a web site find it through the search engines. If you are not acquiring those customers as a result of a relevant query, then they will be disappointed. They may be disappointed with the search result, but more likely, they will be disappointed with your web site.

You have to make sure that the search engines are sending you visitors that are looking for your products or services. If your web site matches their interests, they will remember it, and come back, even if they do not make a purchase on that visit. If they find it irrelevant, they may have subconsciously formed a negative opinion of your online business, through no fault of your own.

Search engines provide a continuous stream of targeted visitors to your website, and for the most part, it’s free of charge. The only thing the search engine asks is that each web site operator makes an effort to provide relevant and good information to web surfers for a particular search phrase.

Search engine traffic is a win-win situation for any online business. If you have an informative web site, the search engines want to send you lots of customers. That’s because the more web surfers find what they want, the more they will use a particular search engine and recommend it to their friends. The search engine also benefits, as it becomes known as a resource that gets its clients to their destinations quickly and efficiently. The more people recognize how well the engine works as a resource, the more it gets recommended, and used.

Small web sites with only 1 or 2 pages set themselves up for failure, simply because they usually don’t have enough content of interest. There are of course exceptions, where the 1 or 2 pages are each as long as a book. But these are awfully frustrating to read, and no one will be satisfied with them. Most often 1 or 2 page sites are simply too short to provide any useful information, so the search engines don’t take them seriously.

Most companies today have web sites, and most market the web sites to facilitate customer acquisition, to increase their customer base, and to improve customer retention rates.
There are a number of reasons for having web sites. Many companies use theirs to enhance their customer service. Using a web site as a marketing vehicle is a great way for a company to put the word out about products, services, or offerings. Most importantly, remember that your web site is an online resource that your clients can use to find answers to frequently asked questions. When including content on a web site, always remember that the knowledge shared may be common to you, but it is likely that you are an expert in the eyes of your clients. People visit your web site for your product or service, but also for information. If they find useful, relevant, information, they will keep coming back, and will likely make purchases. People like to buy from experts.

Instead of thinking of your web site as nothing more than an online billboard or business card, think of it as an online menu, that lets people get an idea of what it is you do, and how you do it. Develop a content rich website, optimize it, and let the search engines increase your website traffic, naturally.
