Five Ways to Increase Website Traffic through Online Message Boards and Blogs
Copyright 2006 Anton Cheranev
The use of message boards and web blogs is becoming increasingly
more popular, not to mention that they are very powerful tools.
Message boards and web blogs are as good as word of mouth. Real
people are on those message boards and blog sites to give their
opinions and thoughts for the entire Internet world to read.
They, the people, can literally make or break your website.
Regardless of the products or services you are promoting on your
website, you must have customers in order to have a business. In
order to increase your sales, you need to increase your number
of customers, and this is achievable by increasing the traffic
to your website through promotion. Unless you are one of the few
independently rich people, you will need to promote your website
in order to have a successful business and to turn some kind of
a profit. It takes a lot of time and money to start up and
maintain a website and you should be able to turn a profit to
make a return on your investment.
You can have five hundred visitors to your website each day, but
this will not mean anything until you make a sale. You will need
to target your audience according to what products or services
you offer and what your target audience wants or needs. By
targeting your audience, you may be able to make about five
sales per 100 visitors. Without a target audience, the
conversion rate drops even lower.
Remember when you are trying to make a sale; never try to push a
sale onto a person. Nobody likes pushy persistent sales people.
The important part of operating a business is to build a good
relationship with customers. You must build trust and prove
yourself an expert in what you are selling. Once the potential
customer learns more about you and your services or products,
they will trust you enough to buy. They may also send other sale
leads your way and return to your website often to make more
purchases.
Message boards and blog sites are a great way to increase
website traffic and sizeable a source of free internet
marketing. Sometimes the best promotion tactics are free. Here
are five tips to get you started in increasing website traffic
through message boards and blog
sites.
1. Before posting on any message board or web blog, visit as
many message boards as possible and socialize with the online
community. Meet the people, read what they have to say, ask
questions and communicate with them. Share your ideals, wisdom,
advice and offer words of encouragement.
2. Keep in mind that you want to build healthy relationships
with the online community on the message boards and web blogs.
You want the people to get to know you, to like you and to be
able to trust you. These people are your potential customers and
sales leads. If you are nice and professional, they can build up
your business. If you are rude and arrogant, they can
practically destroy your business.
3. Never spam on message boards or web blogs and never
repeatedly post the same messages. Spamming can get you blocked
from using a message board and it is very bad business. Most
spam is a scam and people know this. Your postings should have
some purpose and relevance to the conversation. Never enter into
an argument or other disagreement in postings about others. You
never want to criticize or post any negative comments or
feedback. What goes around comes around.
4. You want to make the most out the message boards and web
blogs. You want to choose the boards that relate to your
products or services. Find the boards with people who can use
your website to their advantage. Introduce yourself to boost
your popularity and always include a signature file with your
name and URL, but not you personal email address. You can
include this information on a profile page that other people can
access.
5. Visit as many message boards and web blogs that you can
handle. Never do more work than you can realistically handle.
You should find some enjoyment and satisfaction in what you are
trying to accomplish, avoid any unnecessary stresses.
