Our series of articles on how to attract free traffic to your home business website continues with four extra internet marketing techniques for attracting traffic. The first method we’ll look at is setting up a Google webmaster account.
There are many advantages of having a Google webmaster account. A Google Webmaster account allows you to find the top Google searches for your website, detect errors found by Googlebot, find issues with your website content, for example missing tags, submit a sitemap, find out how many backlinks you have, remove content from the Google index and generate a robots.txt file.
Clicking the “Diagnostics” link and clicking on “Web Crawl” allows you to see if there have been any problems when Google attempted to crawl your website. You can also click “Content Analysis” to see if Google has any recommendations. Click the “Statistics” link and you will see a lot of information about your site such as the top searches and the anchor text for your backlinks.
Click on “Links” to view information about your backlinks including the number of links pointing to each page on your website. And finally by clicking the “Sitemap” link you can submit a site map for your website. You should check your account on a regular basis, monthly, to check for errors on your website, check out the top searches as well as the number of backlinks you have.
A second internet marketing technique to help drive free traffic to your website is by setting up an Onlywire Account. Onlywire is free to use and is a great way to get a ton of backlinks and improve your search engine rankings. Onlywire.com shows you how to set up your account. Just follow the directions and learn how to unleash the power of Onlywire on your website.
My third recommendation for driving free traffic to your home page is set up a LinkedIn Account. LinkedIn is a professional networking website which allows you to link to other people online. This allows you to get a backlink from your profile and network with other people who may visit your home business opportunity. Another benefit of LinkedIn is that it allows you to network with people who share similar interests such as home business opportunities. You can choose the people with whom you want to network.
The fourth technique for increasing your website traffic is joining AddThis. AddThis makes it easy for your potential customers to add your site to their favorites tab as well as bookmark and share your content to their favorite social sites. A major benefit of AddThis is the powerful analytics enabling you to learn how and where your visitors are sharing your content. Joining is very easy and straight forward.
These are four more great ways to increase traffic to your home business website and help make your home business opportunity a success.
