There are lots of ways to increase web site traffic.

You can increase website traffic by building links.

Links are better for web site if:

• The content of the  page you are linking from is similar to the page you are linking to.
• The site you are linking from has lots of traffic itself.
• The site you are linking from has high PR and is trusted by Google.
• The link you are using is an Anchor Text using a good for you keyword.
• The keyword used in the Anchor text is in the context of  related writing.

You can increase your website traffic by blogging.

Blogging personalizes your site and if you use good for you keywords in the title and content of your posts and pages you will get better search engine results.   Search engines mostly index text so writing as much as you can is always an improvement.

You can increase your website traffic by picking the best keywords.

Selecting keywords can be a science and an art. The better you understand your market the better keywords you will recognize. When you know what problems the people in your market are looking to solve you will pick better keywords. Most niches have thousands of keywords and those are just the tip of the iceberg. If you examine the Analytics for your site you will see all kinds of phrases bringing traffic that are only kind of similar to your main keywords. Keywords the person looking to buy are different from keywords people who are just looking will type. The buyers usually use more words. The buyers often use part numbers.

You  get more traffic to your website by making your site easier to index.

Having an xml sitemap available may be fundamental but you would be surprised how many clients have not done this. An XML sitemap makes it easier for SE spiders to index all your site. You can also use it to show the best pages and avoid duplicate pages. Many ecommerce sites have items, categories, and manufacturers that mix and create multiple duplicate pages.

You can get more traffic to your website by using the best keywords in your page titles and descriptions.

By simply putting keywords that have reasonable competition and sufficient searches in your title tags and using them in your description tags you can often gain a better search engine results pages (SERPs) position.  You may have an ultra competitive term you can replace or modify with a term which is much easier to rank for. This can often provide a rapid improvement.
