So You Want to Increase Website Traffic

What the search engines are saying...
that you aren't hearing!

Increase website traffic the smart, right, permanent way

Welcome to the web, the beating heart of Darwinian capitalism. Most of us have the same goal...

Make money. Whether for ourselves or our employers.

Most of us realize that's going to require, firstly...

Traffic.

Your mama wants you to play in traffic too, maggot!

And of course, we all want the good stuff: free, organic, search engine traffic.

But here's something you might not hear from many of the other websites trying to get your attention with promises of increased traffic:

There's a way, but it's not easy. I can't sell it to you. You can't increase website traffic significantly just by adding a few lines of code.

At the risk of sounding like some self-satisfied Zen Master, the "Way" starts with Acceptance. You have to accept that:

1. You aren't going to outsmart your buyers, and
2. In the long run, you aren't going to outsmart the search engines

So, are you ready to start accepting? Here we go...

How the Internet Works
and
Why Your Site Doesn't

Page 1 - Existing customer sites vs. new customer sites
Is your site optimized to be found by a) people who already know you or b) strangers who are looking for the thing you offer?

Page 2 - Meet your internet audiences
A working site satisfies search engines AND searchers.

Page 3 - Meet the 7 year old who can kick your internet a*#!
Intuitively, he does what you don't. Let's learn from him.

Page 4 - Look at your site as a searcher, not a searchee
You know what you want out of your site, but no one else cares! What can you do to satisfy those picky visitors?

Page 5 - The idiocy of SEO
It's a "shortcut" that ends up being a treadmill!

Page 6 - The secret to increase website traffic: It's the content, stupid!
All content is created equal, right? WRONG.
