Whether your website is full of arcade games, funny videos, or any other type of content, here’s a few tips that will help you get more traffic without breaking the bank:

Have Viral Content

Giving your visitors a reason to share your content is the best way to get more hits to your website. Some examples of viral content include:

• Information: Valuable content can be viral if it provides a good resource for people to recommend.
• E-Cards: The viral nature of e-cards is built right into the content; e-cards’ value comes from sending them to friends and family.
• Funny Content: Funny jokes, videos, or pictures that are too hilarious not to share!

Find a Niche

If you’re running a cookie cutter website with content available on many other sites, it’s worth finding a niche within that content. This is a great way to increase traffic for niche keywords that are not as competed for. Some examples might include:

• An arcade site with just classic-genre hits
• A site containing funny sports videos
• A website full of funny road signs

Don’t Scare Them Away!

Pop-up ads and banners with sound may give you short-term revenue, but they’re a bad idea for the long run. Some visitors will block your pop-ups with software, and the rest will end up irritated. Give your viewers one more reason to return to your website and recommend it to others. If you don’t scare them away, they might actually come back!

Keep Them Informed

Providing updates with an opt-in email newsletter is an inexpensive way to increase return traffic substantially. If your website is updated regularly with fresh, interesting content, use a newsletter and keep them coming back.
