I've been working on driving more traffic to my podcast website and I found that SEO has been working out well for me. My goal was to post 3-5 times a week on the site. I took a look at my analytics and saw that my website traffic was up 300% with 95% of that traffic coming directly from Google. SEO and content are critical to increasing the traffic to your website. It is not enough just to have a website you have to work hard at driving traffic to that site. There are many ways to do this, but I decided on content and SEO to be the strategies that I would use.

There are several ways to draw free traffic to your site, such as: -Article Submission -Search Engine Optimization -Offline Traffic Methods Article submission basically involves submitting articles related to your niche topic to high traffic article directories so that people searching for information will find your articles, which leads them to your website through an author’s resource box. Search engine optimization is the art of getting your page to the top of Google or Yahoo’s search engine by targeting high search volume “keyword phrases”. Offline traffic methods deal with promoting one’s website through offline methods such as banners, flyers, direct response marketing and name cards. Article marketing was one of the most widely used traffic generation methods in the past, and still is widely used today. Here are some links to article directories that will allow you to submit articles.
I know that I only talked about article marketing here and of course there are way more than 3 ways to drive free traffic to your website, but I didn't want to overwhelm you with too much content. I hope you found this article helpful. Until Next Time Make It A Great Day! Audrey
