I have been searching for all the important factors that are handy for increasing the traffic to our website at a rapid rate and have been sharing them through my blog posts. After the research and coming to various conclusions, I decided to write a short blog that will contain all the important 10 secrets that every blog owner should follow to transform into a high-traffic website.
Here are the 10 secrets that you should know and must follow for a high-traffic website:
Kill those parameters that are slowing down your Website’s speed
I am talking about the speed of the website. Loading speed (also called reaction time) is the first impression on the user. If your website is taking too much time to get opened then this is not a good sign. It might frustrate the user and the user may never come to your website again.
The solution to those issues that are responsible for slowing down your website speed is Pingdom Tool. You can use the Pingdom tool to analyze the parameters which are letting down the speed of your Website. Moreover, the Pingdom tool will point out the reaction time, and page size and let you know how your website is faster as compared to the others. This tool will also show the files that keep awaiting the website from getting loaded. In one way, the tool will show the entire statistics of your website.
Remember, a faster loading speed of the Website will save the user’s time and the users will come to your website again and again. This will also increase the chances of getting more and more visitors to your Website.
Minimize the number of plugins and use the necessary ones
Using too many problems on the website will also affect the website’s speed. It is better to avoid the use of too many plugins and use only the necessary ones. By the word necessary, I mean that you should use Caching plugins on your website. As we all know that WordPress is an entire mechanism and every time you load a page, lots of things happen on the back end.
But when we use a caching plugin, this process gets simplified and your content is served from the cache without being generated over and over again. The best plugin you can use to cache your content is W3 Total Cache. W3 Total Cache plugin will cache your WordPress posts and pages as static files. These static files are then served to users, reducing the processing load on the servers.
Use Content Delivery Network
A content delivery network (CDN) helps to deliver your content, images, CSS and Javascript from different locations across the globe. Your content is served from the location that is closest to your visitors, so if your visitor is from the US, then your content will come from a server in the US.
A CDN is a collection of web servers distributed across multiple locations to deliver content more efficiently to users. The server with the fewest network hops or the server with the quickest response time is chosen.
A CDN saves your bandwidth and visitors will experience a faster loading speed. You can get a free CDN from your hosting provider.
Give value to your Customer, don’t neglect them
As the above factors mentioned are important so as the customers. Glad that you put stress on the above three secrets now it’s time to convert the visitors into real customers. Don’t miss any chance of having an interaction with your visitors. In fact, always try to include all those features that will give make things simpler for the visitors.
Having direct interactions with the customers is a great way to increase the traffic on the website. Direct interaction will solve all the doubts of the customers and in the end, the customers will be pleased with your services. They will be more satisfied and surely use your product’s services. But still, most of the websites are unable to interact with their customers. What they are missing?
Let’s know this through an example.
Suppose I come to your website and I like the services of your products. But before I buy the product from your website I need to clear some of my queries or doubts regarding the product. I thought of interacting with the owner of the Website but it doesn’t work for me. Why?
The reason is there were no contact details mentioned on the website.
Tip Always show the contact details on the top of the website (on every page) so that whenever users have any queries related to your product’s services they can directly contact you. This will increase the chances of interaction with your customers and make them more satisfied.
Leads mean business, grab more leads and do more business
The above headline simply means that you should always use a Lead Capture form on your website. Suppose the user will like the services of your website and submit the form by up the details, it will be a bonus for your website. The leads will be stored on your dashboard and whenever you launch some new products you can shoot emails to all the users. That will transform the traf of your website.
Try to provide a contact form on the home page of the website for collecting emails and contact details of the users. This will increase the chances of converting a temporary user into a permanent one. Having this feature on the home page will definitely help you to boost your traffic. In the end, you will be having an email list of all your visitors and whenever any new product comes they will be informed timely.
Don’t forget to include Tap to Call feature on your Website
A tap-to-call feature enables the user to directly contact the owner of the Website. Nowadays most business websites are well compatible with the devices like iPad, mobile, and tablet and almost every business website include this feature. When the websites are opened on mobile devices, tablets or iPad, a tap-to-call button appears on the screen through which the user can directly contact the owner of the website. Remember, increasing productivity will not increase the number of customers unless the customers will be satisfied.
Consider all the possible chances of interaction with the customers by showing a tap-to-call button and contact details on the website. The more you make communication flexible, the more the customers will be satisfied and happy with your services. Ultimately, they will buy the products from your website.
Maintain a good habit of feedback
If you can get back to your Customers timely, believe me, they will always meet your expectations and will be your real ones for a long time. Keep a habit of responding to the comments of the
customers timely. Any delayed reply may reflect the negative side of your support. It may compel the user to think like- he made a wrong choice by purchasing the product from your website.
Timely support will keep your users happy and they will love to buy more and more products from your
website. In fact, they will share positive feedback with others regarding the services and support of your Website.
Remember, putting your customers first will play a vital role in increasing traffic.
how important are website promotion and traffic monitoring
Traffic monitoring helps website owners understand how their visitors are interacting with their site and can provide valuable insights into what is and isn’t working well. This information can be used to make improvements to the website and increase its effectiveness. Additionally, monitoring traffic can help identify potential issues with the website, such as technical problems or security breaches, and allow the website owner to take corrective action.
Connect the audience
The most important objective of a blog post should be to connect with the audience. Besides making the content user-friendly, it is important to talk about the problems of most people and provide a complete solution.
If I am a reader then the only thing I care about is: “If you can help me with my problems?” If you can help me with a problem I am more likely to stay. This is why the top bloggers succeed. Egos can destroy you if you’re a blogger. Focus on what’s important
Give away something
To create a successful online presence we must contribute. Create something for free. Don’t even expect an email address back. You’re a new blogger and you’re unknown to the rest of the world. It’s going to take some time to come into the limelight. However, if you create an e-book for free and begin some heavy promotion, chances are you’ll become noticed if the e-book is well written.
An eBook doesn’t require any hardcore design skills. This can be easily created in Microsoft Word.No need to use Quark Express or Adobe InDesign. Creating a successful reputation takes time to build. Giving anyway some freebies is a great way to promote your blog and traffic.
Try to develop a series of articles
Just like a soap opera, each episode continues from the previous one and is in proper sequence. Consider developing a variety of articles that become a series. If you’d made a 10,000-word article that could be ideally broken down into segments – break it down. A three or five-part series will also give your readers an opportunity to subscribe to your RSS feed. Provide cliffhangers to your blog series articles and give your readers a reason to return.
End with related articles
You’ve created an excellent post. You’ve engaged the reader and they’ve left a comment. You’ll always find that some readers want to know more about a certain subject. Help is at hand. Try to end your articles with related posts. Maybe with the subject that you have covered in your blog post and others have also made research on the same.
Create “pillar” content
Pillar content is informative that attracts most of the readers. Pillars keep buildings from falling to the ground and the same principle applies to blogging. Pillar content should have all in and out information that’s packed full of useful hints and tips. Usually, the pillar content is over 1000 words and has lots of great value. In addition, pillar content is referred to as link-worthy.
You want to make your blog resourceful. Your aim is to encourage your readers to visit frequently your posts.
Focus on developing a resource for your blog that has useful information and provides the reader with answers to their problems. Create a list post of your best blog articles
This is an easy method to round up a variety of articles that you feel are relevant to your reader. List posts also provide opportunities for your readers to click through further on your blog. Plus this method allows you to showcase some of your classic posts.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a high-traffic website is one that receives a large number of visitors. This can be beneficial for a variety of reasons, such as increasing the opportunity for the website to achieve its goals, improving the website’s search engine ranking, and providing valuable insights through traffic data analysis. To increase traffic to a website, it is important to focus on website promotion, search engine optimization, and creating high-quality and engaging content.
