How to increase targeted website traffic

You don’t only want to increase your website’s traffic but in reality what you want is to get more targeted visitors coming to your website. The reasons are a lot and the ways to do it even more and this is what I will explain in this blog post.

What is targeted traffic?

The difference between targeted visitors and normal visitors (non-targeted) is that targeted visitors have a specific goal in mind while normal visitors are browsing the web without having a particular objective.

Targeted visitors are looking for a solution to their problem and they are visiting your website because they believe they can find the answer to their question, the product or service they want. In other words targeted traffic are those people that visit a website with the intention of performing an action.

Let me give you a couple of examples to understand the difference between the two:

People who visit amazon.com searching for “buy filter coffee machine” are more likely to convert (i.e. make a purchase) than people who enter amazon because they want to view the latest offers.

Likewise, from my experience in this website, people searching for “seo packages for small business” are more likely to complete the order form than people who come to the site reading the blog posts.

Why do you need targeted traffic?

Increase conversions: From the examples above it should be obvious that what you need is targeted traffic because that will increase your conversion rates but also it will increase your Adsense earnings (if you are running ads) since targeted visitors are more likely to click an ad for a product they are interested in.

Increase readers and email subscribers: If you can manage to keep targeted visitors happy though your content and website experience then most probably they will visit again and also subscribe to your email list.

Increase social media shares: Targeted visitors will share something on their Facebook or twitter if they like it. I don’t have any statistics to back this assumption but it makes sense to LIKE something if it solves your problem (in case you are looking for answers) or satisfies a need (in case your are looking for products).

How can you increase targeted website traffic

There are many ways to increase your targeted visitors besides the traditional channels i.e. search engines and social media networks but first let’s see how these 2 channels generate targeted visitors for a website.

Search engine Traffic

Search engine traffic, whether it is paid or organic is highly targeted because people use search engines for a purpose. Depending on the keywords they use to search, you can tell if they are targeted or not. As in the examples above, people who search for “weight loss” are more likely into finding general information about losing weight while people searching for “best diet plan to lose weight” want something more specific.

The best way to increase your targeted traffic from search engines is to concentrate on the long tail keywords since people using more than 2-3 words in their search query are looking for something very specific. You can also read my previous article long tail seo benefits for website owners which explains how to find those long tail keywords that convert.

Social Media Networks

Until very recently traffic from social media was considered as non-targeted and while this is not completely wrong, things have changed dramatically the last couple of years. All major social networks (think Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+) are improving their algorithms to make social networking more targeted.

For example Pinterest has recently introduced a feature that shows you pins related to what you have ‘liked’ and ‘pinned’ in the past and this increases the chances of interacting with these pins since they are closer to your likes.

In addition to that when searching for new people on Twitter for example, you can use various tools to refine your search and find those people that meet certain demographic characteristics and other criteria.  In other words there are ways to discover from the huge mass of twitter users those users that are considered targeted for your website or business.

Also when it comes to advertising on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter you can target your ads to a very specific set of people and make your campaigns targeted.

Mobile Traffic

While this is pretty much the same as search engine traffic explained above, it is worth noting that if you are after targeted traffic from mobile visitors you need to have a mobile friendly website otherwise you will not be able to reach users on mobile.

Google is very serious about mobile search and if your website is not optimized for mobile it will not be included in the Google search results or to be more precise it won’t have any chances of achieving high rankings on mobile search.

Even better what you actually need to reach more targeted users on ‘mobile devices’ is a responsive website and many businesses have started to realise that responsive design is important for their marketing efforts.

Mobile Native Apps

For many this may be a surprise but native mobile apps can drive targeted visits to a website and let me explain why.

A native mobile app (either for Android, iPhone or Windows) is uploaded to the mobile markets and in order to download it users have to perform certain actions (search for it on the desktop version of the stores or through their mobile phones).

The fact that users are searching for something specific makes them targeted and if you can manage to satisfy their needs you can win customers (if you are selling something) or new readers (if you are a content publisher).

How can you drive targeted traffic to a website through a mobile native app? In practice this is a bit more complicated than creating an app and uploading the app to the mobile markets. You have to think what type of app to create, how to promote your app so that it is not lost in the millions of apps already available in those markets and most importantly how to make mobile app users visit your website and take an action.

I will try to explain all the above with a real example. CalorieSecrets.net is one of the websites we manage (you can read “How to build a successful blog” and Google SEO best practices for more details about the website, history, etc) and for this website we have also developed a native Android app that is available through the Google Play Store.

The Application is ‘how to lose weight’ (read below why it is not named Calorie Secrets) and has more than 250,000 downloads. The benefits for the website are a lot and in particular:

More targeted readers – people who download the application on their mobile phones or tablets are doing it because they are interested in fitness / weight loss topics.

More social followers – people like to use social media from their mobiles and they are sharing content from the app with their social networks

More advertising revenue – The application is running admob ads and this creates an additional monthly revenue by utilizing the existing website content.

More visits to the mobile and desktop websites – From the website traffic details it is shown that a number of visits come from the android app.

Based on this example read the answers to the above questions that explain why it works.

What type of app to create? The application should offer useful and valuable information to users so that there is an incentive for them to download.  Depending on the type of website the application can either take full advantage of the device capabilities and offer users a different experience or give them an alternative way to access the website content on their mobile devices.

In this case the application resembles the website’s content in a user friendly format that makes it easier for android users (phone and tablet) to read the articles.

How to promote the app?

In Store SEO: Mobile markets have a search function that allows you to search thought their store and find applications to download. One of the ways to increase visibility in their search results is to follow basic SEO guidelines such as providing for titles and descriptions of the app that include keywords used by people when they search for apps.

You may have already noticed that the name of the application is ‘How to lose weight’ and not Calorie Secrets. This was done in purpose and the reason is that nobody will search for ‘Calorie Secrets’ in the play store but there are a number of people who search for ‘how to lose weight’.

So, one way to promote the app is by giving it a meaningful name that includes keywords people are searching.

Another way is to spread the word about your app through your website (by writing a blog post about it) and by adding download buttons in your sidebar, header and footer.

If you keep an email list then you can also create a newsletter and inform your subscribers.

Finally, social media is perhaps the fastest way to let other people know about the existence of your app and a targeted Facebook campaign is among the best solutions.

How to get more visits from the app? 

Whenever a new article is published on the website our android users get notified through the android notification system and a small icon appears on their phones or tablets.

This is very efficient because they cannot missed it (don’t forget that the average person check their phones 110 days per day!) and it is a ‘push’ type notification – meaning that it will find you even if you are not asking for it.

So, we know for sure that someone has the application installed on their phones because they are interested in our content and when someone clicks on the notification to read or interact with an article (i.e share on social media), we know that this user is a targeted visitor because they have performed specific actions that indicate their intentions.

Once they get into the app, you can either give them incentives through a pop up message to visit your mobile friendly website or try to make them convert by subscribing to your newsletter or becoming a fun in social media.

We are convinced about the importance of mobile native apps (especially android) as a good way to increase targeted visits (besides search engine traffic and social networking), that’s why we created a platform for transforming your website into beautiful native apps ready to be published on the market.

You can visit our android application development page for more examples and pricing details.

Why most business native apps fail? From experience people try to make native apps for their businesses and they get very few downloads because:

They don’t use ‘good’ names for their apps  – Don’t expect people to search for your business name in the stores (unless you are a big brand name of course) but try to give your native apps names that people search for.

They don’t promote their apps – Creating an app is one thing, promoting it correctly is a totally different concept. Native apps need a good promotion strategy to produce a return.

Their apps are not designed correctly – Sometimes developers try to create many functions and they make the apps difficult to use, slow and non-functional. The design and functionality of the app should be depends on what you want to achieve from the app.

Content marketing

Last but not least, content marketing is the most effective way to gain targeted visitors. Actually without a proper content marketing strategy you cannot achieve anything with the above techniques.

Content marketing is what will drive search engine traffic from desktop and mobile, create more interaction in social media and convince mobile users to download the native apps on their devices.

You can read content marketing tips for beginners and why every business needs a blog for more information on how to create efficient content marketing campaigns for your business or website.

Conclusion

Targeted visitors are very important for a website or online business as they have more chances of performing an action (becoming customers, subscribing to a newsletter, sharing on social media) than ‘normal’ visitors.

Search engines and social networks (both for desktop and mobile) are among the obvious ways to get targeted visitors but besides those, another great way is through mobile native apps. When a native app is designed and promoted correctly it can become a great source of high targeted visits.

How to grow your website traffic without building links

You can increase your website traffic without doing link building and without violating any Google webmaster guidelines by concentrating on less risky and more efficient ways that will also lay the foundation for long term success.

If you are one of my regular readers you should know by now that I am against building links as a way to promote a blog or website.  Link building used to work in the past but today things have changed and link building of any kind may create the exact opposite results.
Last week I was pleasantly surprised when Google has finally decided to change their ranking article by removing any references to link building and replacing the text with a wording more suitable to what is applicable now especially after the release of Panda and Penguin (You can see the exact changes in more details below). This also gave me the idea to write this article and explain how to grow your website traffic without building links.

One of the biggest flaws in Google’s ranking algorithm was the dependence on links for calculating the ranking position of a website. While Google was making huge efforts to keep spammers out of their index, for years you could trick their algorithm and rank for any keyword by pointing thousands of links (of any kind – I describe

the different kinds in detail in what is off-page SEO) to a web site.

This ‘hide and seek’ game between the Google Quality team and “SEO’s” continued until February 2011 when Google started rolling out the Panda updates and April 2012 with the Penguin roll out. What Google has finally managed to do is separate artificially generated links from natural links while at the same time devalued the importance of the anchor text.
The logic behind using links as a ranking factor is valid and links still play an important role but Google is now more efficient in identifying important links from links used for the sole purpose of manipulating their algorithm.

Other search engines (for example Bing and Yahoo) rely largely on links for rankings and they are behind Google is terms of how sophisticated their ranking algorithms are. This is also the reason why some websites are penalized by Google for link building and are removed from the first pages of their index but at the same time they rank well in Yahoo and Bing.

Google changes ranking advice

As mentioned above Google has updated their ranking article by removing references to links and adding references to high quality websites that users will want to use and share. The change was first spotted by @Baeumlisberger and reported by Barry Schwartz on search engine land.

This change was made on May 27 2013 although they should have made it right after the release of the first Penguin on April 2012. I have already started talking about the growing importance of building high quality websites since April 2013 and I am glad that now this is getting more attention.

Does this means that link building is officially dead? In my opinion yes, link building as we knew it until now is a think of the past and webmasters and SEO’s should concentrate on the other 200+ factors for ranking their websites higher in the SERPS.

Guest posting is link building with another name

Since last year many people have started to promote guest posting as a valid way to get links and increase the PageRank of a website. Many “SEO’s” are also promoting it as a legitimate way to gain rankings and if you have a website I am sure that you have received at least a couple of requests to publish guest posts on your website or blog.

You can read when to accept guest posts on your blog and is guest posting a valid way to get links for a detail analysis about the role and type of guest posts but in a nutshell you should know the following:

Guest posting is still link building (don’t let the name confuse you) and link building is against Google guidelines.

Guest posting is a very good way to make new connections, get new readers and customers and you should guest posts on other high quality related websites only if the above conditions as met.

No need to use keyword anchor text for your incoming links, maybe they won’t count against you but why take the risk.

SEO is not about building links and it never was

This is one of the biggest SEO misconceptions and I am afraid it will take years until SEO is disengaged from link building. To give you a real example, because we have named our SEO services as SEO packages and despite the clear description that we do not engage into any form of link building, we still get a number of emails from prospect clients asking how much we changer per link etc.

If SEO is not about link building then what is SEO?

Search engine optimization is exactly what Google added in the ranking article, it is about building high quality websites that are optimized for both search engines and users. A high quality website is user friendly, fast, shareable and offers a great user experience regardless the platform used by the user.

The importance has moved again to on-page SEO and to ways you can make your website more functional and better than the competition. I have written numerous articles about SEO the last 6 months that basically cover everything you need to know from beginner guides to more advanced techniques.

Besides SEO how can I increase my web traffic?

Digital marketing is the keyword you are looking for. With digital marketing you get to explore all possible digital traffic sources available. Let me give you a couple of examples

Social media marketing – Social media marketing is the way to build links to your website. It is not something new, it has been around for years but it is gaining more importance and attention. It is no coincidence that webpages who are popular in social media started ranking higher in search engines as well. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+ are just some of the tools in your arsenal. If you want to learn more, spend 5 more minutes reading:

10 Social Media Marketing tips for beginners

15 Social media mistakes to avoid

Mobile Marketing – This includes both mobile optimized websites and mobile markets (Google Play, Apple Store etc). More than 30% of searches are coming from mobile and Android + iPhone users together are more than 1.5 billion!

Content marketing – Website content is the new marketing. Instead of spending your time in creating low quality content to get a link from a link network, you can now spend your time in creating high quality content for your own website. The more high quality content you get published the more visits you will get (not only organic visits but also direct visits, social media visits, mobile visits etc.).

Do non link building techniques work?

One of the questions I get in the comments is whether a website can climb up the search engine results without building links. People still don’t believe all these things about SEO and digital marketing and they want more prove.

I can truly understand their questions because I have been there myself and I was also sceptical about the effectiveness of this white hat techniques and the best answer I can give you is this: How to get more than 100,000 visits from Google per month (Case Study).

Conclusion

To conclude, if you want to get more web traffic to your website, the way to do it is not by building links (either yourself or hiring an “”SEO”” to do it for you) but by publishing more high quality content on your site. Spend some time on social media and try to make connections with other people in your niche.

When you reach a point that your website is loaded with useful content you can go out and contribute to other websites and share the expertise you have gained as an expert in your niche.

Traffic benefits from adding your web site to the Chrome Web Store

Traffic benefits from adding your web site to the Chrome Web Store

Adding your web site to the Chrome Web store is a great way to increase your traffic and a very efficient way to get new loyal visitors. I would say that the Chrome Web Store is a ‘hidden’ source of traffic since many webmasters either don’t know that it exists or they ignore it thinking that it does not have enough users.

The good news continuous since the process of adding your web site to the Chrome store is very easy and straightforward and all you need is a Google developer license ($5) and a couple of icons. Before getting into the actual benefits of adding your web site, with some real examples of gains in traffic, let me first give you a quick overview about Chrome Web Store for those that are not familiar.

What is the Chrome Web Store?

Google Chrome is among the most popular web browsers with millions of daily users. A couple of years ago Google launched the Chrome Web store which is very similar to the Google Play (store for Android apps) or the Apple Store. The only difference is that in the Chrome app store you will find applications that run with-in the Chrome web browser or web apps (bookmarks to existing web sites).

You can access the store either by typing https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/home in the Chrome address bar or by clicking the Chrome Web Store icon (When you click the NEW TAB (+) in Chrome, on the bottom of the empty page you will see 2 options: Most Visited and Apps. When you click the APPS you will see the Web store icon on the top left).

As you can see from the screenshot, items available in the store are separated into web apps, extensions and themes.

Below each application image you can also see the number of users who installed the App on their browsers. When you click on an image you have the option to add the particular web app on your Chrome desktop, review the app, or read existing reviews, screenshots and more details about the particular app.

When you choose to add an application to your chrome, the application icon appears in the APPS tabs every time you visit chrome (note: you have to be logged in with your Google account in order to add an app).

What are the benefits from adding your web site to the Chrome Web Store?

Everyone who read my introduction above must have understood the benefits for web site owners, but for the sake of clarity I will explain them below with some examples.

Chrome has millions of users per day either by using Chrome on their desktops or through a Chrome Book (Laptops that runs the Chrome operating system i.e. the Chrome Browser)

 If you take a closer look to the number of users for the popular apps you will see that the number of people we use the Chrome Web store is not in any way low. Maybe compared to the overall Internet traffic is small but it is still a very good source of traffic especially for web site owners who are looking for more traffic sources.

When a user adds your web app (web site) is more likely to visit it more often since he/she will see the icon in the apps list on a daily basis.

Should you add your web site to Chrome?

I would say yes. You have nothing to lose since it is easy to add you web site to the store and the cost is only $5 (one-time fee). If your web site is a good fit in one of the categories available in the Store you can be up and running in 30 minutes.

Are there any SEO benefits from adding my site to Chrome?

I don’t think that there are any direct SEO benefits from adding your web site to chrome but certainly there are indirect benefits.

The more exposure that your web site gets, the more likely is to get natural links (Other web site owners see your web site, they like it and link back to it). This is not a theoretical benefit but it does happen and it’s great for SEO.

There will be an increase in direct visits and people searching your web site by its name, factors that are both beneficial for SEO.

My experience with the Chrome Web Store

I have added a number of web sites in the Store the last six months and my experience is more than positive. A couple of weeks after adding my sites I noticed an increase in the “Direct Visits” and I do get a steady number of daily visits from the Chrome Store (There is a built-in integration with Google Analytics so you will know how many visitors are coming from the Chrome Store).

As you can see from the screenshot CalorieSecrets has 11,000+ users already (in less than 6 months) and this translates to more than 10,000 direct visits (in total) from the Chrome Store. There is also a steady monthly increase and this will bring even more traffic in the coming months. Other web apps have thousands of users which is very encouraging and another sign that adding my web site to the store was a correct decision.

In addition Google is investing a lot of money on the promotion of Chrome Books (and Chrome browser) so the number of dedicated chrome users is expected to increase dramatically in the near future.

How to add your web site to the Chrome Web Store

There is a detail tutorial by Google that describes the process but if you find it too technical to follow you can read my guide: How to add your web site to Google Chrome Store which is a simplified version for the non-technical people.

How to increase web site traffic

One of the most difficult aspects of running a web site or blog is increasing your traffic. You have created a great web site, wrote your best content but when you check your analytics data you notice that you only get a few visitors per day. Why is this happening? Simply because your web site promotion methods failed. Building a web site is one thing but promoting it the right way is a totally different concept.

Web site promotion is challenging but rewarding. By utilizing the correct Internet Marketing techniques you can drive more traffic to your web site and fulfil its purpose.

Before getting into what you should do and what you shouldn’t do to increase your web site visitors, think about this: the Internet is a pool of unlimited users that is increasing day by day and you only need a very tiny portion to achieve your goals.

In 2012 alone there were over 1.4 trillion searches in Google, Facebook had more than 800 million active users, Twitter had over 500 million users and the list can go on and on.

In other words, unlike the real World (offline World), in the on-line World your potential customers, visitors, fans are endless and they are only a click away from visiting your web site.

They don’t have to walk or drive to your web site or ecommerce store, they don’t have to pay anything to visit and all you have to do is put your web site in front of their mouse arrow.

Fortunately there are many ways to do this and this is what I will discuss in this post.

How NOT to promote your web site

I believe it will be more beneficial for you to discuss first how NOT to promote your web site, especially if you have been reading any of the ‘magic’ promotion formulas circulating the Internet. In a nutshell stay away from:

Link building schemes or networks

Buying traffic

Buying Facebook or twitter fans and followers

Guest posting just for links

It is important to realize that unless you have created a super duper web site (like Pinterest for example) success will not come overnight. It will take time and effort to build your readership or customer base and ‘quick fix’ methods do not provide any long term benefit.

What is the risk of using any of the above methods?

You will lose your money without having a real benefit

Excessive link building or guest posting my lead to penalties (by Google and lose all your search engine traffic and the potential to increase your traffic using valid means)

Buying Facebook likes may lead to penalties by Facebook.

You will not have a clear picture as to the real value of your web site and what it can naturally do in terms of traffic and visits.

So, if the above methods don’t work how can I increase the number of visitors coming to my web site? This is where the fun part begins…

The power of Internet Marketing

Most popular ways to promote your web site

There are many sources of traffic (besides search engine traffic) but many webmasters fail to utilize them correctly. Yes, search engine traffic is very important but it’s not the only way to promote your web site.

In fact if you use the other traffic sources effectively you are more likely to increase your search engine traffic as well.

Sources of traffic

In general the major sources of Internet traffic are:

Search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing)

Social media networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Stumbleupon, etc.)

Mobile media (smartphones, iPads, Android tablets etc., Windows 8 Tablets etc.)

Mobile Markets (Apple Store, Google Play, Amazon Store, Microsoft Windows Marketplace)

Chrome App store

Amazon Kindle

Windows 8 App Store

Youtube

Slideshare

Google+ Local Pages

Paid advertising (Google Adwords, Facebook Ads)

RSS feeds

Guest posting for traffic

Offline sources (Business cards)

I have personally used most of the above sources and I will explain below how these can aid your SEO efforts, increase your web site’s exposure and gain more search engine traffic.

Search engines: There are three direct ways to increase your search engine traffic.

The first and most important step is to optimise your web site for search engines and second by obtaining high quality links from other web sites (either naturally or through careful guest posting).

The third method is to provide new content on a daily basis (or multiple times per day depending on the niche) so as to create more loyal visitors and give search engine crawlers one more reason to visit your web site.

Social Media: Social media is a great tool to spread the word when you launch your web site or new content (or products). In order for your social media campaigns to be successful you need to have a large user base (fans, followers, and friends) and you also need to have good content.

I will explain later (in a new post) how to grow your fan base on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest but for now take note that social media is a great tool to promote your web site.

Mobile Media: It is estimated by Gartner that by 2015 there will be one mobile device for every person on earth. Modern mobiles (smartphones) are connected to the Internet through Wi-Fi or direct Internet connection and people actually use them to search the Internet, login to Facebook, tweet etc.

So it is important that you optimise your web site for mobile and make it easy for users to find your brand while on the go.

Mobile Markets: Besides the growing use of mobiles during the last 5 years we have witness the birth and success of mobile markets. Apple and iPhone in particular have literally changed the mobile and tablet market and brought new opportunities for game developers and marketers.

If you are wondering what is the relationship of mobile markets and Search engine traffic read my previous post: Mobile Web site VS Native app and why webmasters should care

Chrome App store: Google Chrome is the most popular browser and has millions of users searching the Internet on a daily basis. Chrome has a web store as well and as it turns out it is a great source of traffic. Read about my experience with the Chrome web store here and also what you can expect in terms of traffic gains.

Amazon Kindle: Amazon has been very successful with Kindle that took a step further and created their own operating system (based on Android) and market place (Amazon store) where you can download kindle books and apps for your Kindle device.

How can amazon help you increase your web site traffic? You can create a kindle book and publish it on Amazon (for free) or a kindle app and publish it for free on the Amazon App Store. Kindle users who want to find out more about your web site or products will visit your web version as well.

I have tested both of these methods and they are a good source of traffic but not as good as Apple Store and Google Play, nevertheless it is not something to be neglected.

Windows 8 App Store:  Microsoft with the release of Windows 8 introduced a dedicated app store for Windows 8 devices called “Store”. In the store you can find metro style apps (this is how the apps running on Windows 8 are called) which you can install on your PC, phone or tablet.

I am currently in the process of creating a metro style app and submitting to the Store so I cannot give you numbers now but will get back in a few weeks for an update.

YouTube and Slideshare: People love videos and slideshows and in most cases they will prefer those media sources over reading plain text. Depending on your topic you can create your own Youtube channel or Slideshow and gain from an additional source of traffic.

Google+ Local Pages: One of the features of Google’s social network (Google+) is business pages and in particular Google+ local pages for business. Local pages have replaced Google Places back in May 2012 and it can be another source of traffic especially if your web site is targeting local traffic.

Paid Advertising:  Advertising is a good way to put your products or brand in front of your customers. If you are running an online shop you can get new customers and if you are running a web site or blog you can get new subscribers and loyal visitors.

Google Adwords and Facebook ads are the two products I am using to either spread the word about a new web site or increase my fan page and followers (more on this in a new post).

RSS Feeds: RSS is not dead. A large number of people are still using RSS to stay informed or follow their favourite web sites.  Web sites that managed to build a large number of RSS subscribers have fewer worries about SEO and other sources of traffic.

Even if are having a facebook page, twitter or Google+ page you still need to provide your readers (or customers) with an RSS feed as well. Most blogging platforms have this embedded so your only task is to ensure that a subscribe button is visible in your web site! (Register to my Rss)

Offline Sources: Never underestimate the power of offline sources and word of mouth. Promote your web site in your business cards, flyers, ads, company car and any other medium you use for building brand awareness.

Google is not the only source of Internet traffic

I have outlined all the methods above to help you understand that Google is not the only source of traffic in the Internet. It is one of the best sources of traffic both in terms of quality and quantity but you should never put all your eggs in one basket.

Optimizing your web site for Search engines (SEO) is a great way to boost your traffic from Google, Bing and Yahoo, having an active social media profile can get you visits from facebook, twitter and google+ and following the rest of the above methods will create more direct visits.

To sum it up, in order to increase your web site’s traffic you have to be open minded and ready to test which are the best sources of traffic for your web site without increasing your risks by putting all your efforts in a single method.
