Every web site owner knows how important traffic is. If your site is not doing well traffic-wise, here are a couple of tips that could help boost the number of visitors coming to your site each day. And the best thing is, these simple techniques could increase or improve your website traffic without the need to spend money on advertising or promotion.

Step # 1: Provide beneficial and original content.

Aside from the attractiveness of your web site, you also need to provide quality content consistently in order to bring in lots visitors and page views.

Remember who your target audience is and write in such a way that would make them read your articles. If they enjoy – or benefit from – your articles, they would visit your website often and even tell their friends about it.

You would then have repeat visitors, and perhaps gain loyal fans. When people share the great information they’ve seen from your site, it will continue to grow and get more exposure.

Originality is one of the important factors in generating massive traffic for your web site. If your content is already available in many other places online, your webpage might not show up in the search engines, as other higher-ranking sites with the same content might dilute it.

It is also recommended to provide “evergreen” material. Evergreen content is something that never grows old, meaning the information is still relevant in the future. This can guarantee a flow of steady traffic to your site. Timeless material can make the readership grow over time.

Step # 2: Use appropriate keywords in your posts.

Search engine optimization (aka SEO) might sound like rocket science for beginners; but in reality, it is just using the right keywords at the right places. Keywords must be used in the post title, and sprinkled all throughout the start, middle, and the end of the content.

There is no hard and fast rule regarding the “ideal” keyword density, and various authorities on search engine optimization have differing views about this. To be on the safe side, try not to exceed 2%, but insert your keywords strategically while writing in a natural manner.
Use tags that are pertinent to your posts. These also act as keyword phrases that can assist in building traffic through search engines.

If your site has photos, image searches from search engines can be your ally in bringing traffic to your web site. Place the correct keywords in the alt attribute of the image. Be honest about the keywords you input. Don’t just write anything in it. Misleading others to click on your site is a major turn off.

Step # 3: “Advertise” your link on your emails and other sites.

When you hear the world advertising, the first thing that comes into mind is expense. But in reality, you can market your web site without shelling out any money. One of the simplest ways of doing so is by placing a link in your email signature.

Another way of promoting your website for free is by commenting on other sites, especially on those that are in the same niche as yours. This is one way of building your credibility and making people aware of your products or offer.

Step # 4: Use the Power of Web 2.0

Social bookmarking sites – such as Digg, Propeller and Stumbleupon – can help bring in targeted website traffic to your site. But make sure not to get overly promotional, as members of social bookmarking sites tend to discourage marketing activities.

Be an active member of the social networking sites you’ll be joining in. Make friends and grow your network. Contribute to the community and join the discussions. And most important of all, don’t just bookmark your own links. To get under the radar, bookmark around 4 to 6 times more non-self-serving links than your own.

Another powerful Web 2.0 tool that is taking the Internet by storm is Twitter. The aim is to build a solid number of followers. Then you can send them tweets about your website or update them whenever there’s a new post.

This can be quite effective as long as you’ve established good relationships with your Twitter followers and you provide helpful Tweeter posts that can help enhance their way of life. A little marketing is ok, but keep it subtle. Over promotion might discourage your followers from reading your posts, and might even cause them to unfollow you.

Step # 5: Trade links with other sites.

Look for similar sites and trade links with them. One way to do this is by searching for websites with similar topics or in the same niche as yours.

Contact the owner and ask for a link trade. You could post their link first in your site so they would be more willing to reciprocate. You could always remove the link if they don’t return the favor.

These are some of the free yet effective ways that can help you get significant traffic to your website. Follow these website traffic tips and you’ll be seeing great results in no time.

Some potential homebuyers are sitting on the sidelines waiting for housing prices to hit bottom. It makes sense to buy a house at the lowest price possible but there are other critical considerations you need to keep in mind.

Waiting for the housing market to hit the bottom is always difficult and not always the smartest thing to do. While the market is propably not at the bottom yet, interest rates are at historic lows, and many homebuyers are failing to consider the savings that come with lower interest rates, particularly over the life of the loan, or even the partial life of the loan since you pay a huge part of the total interest in the first fiew years of the loan.

Mortgage rates are low right now because of the recession and large quantities of home foreclosures. In addition, the Federal Reserve has moved aggressively to push down mortgage rates by buying as much as $1.75 trillion of housing debt and Treasuries this year. This policy has been successful in lowering interest rates. Rates on 15-year and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are hovering at historic lows right now.

What does this exactly mean for you, the home owner/buyer?

It means that on a 30-year fixed-rate loan amount of $200,000 at 5%, the interest paid over the life of the loan is $186,512. That brings the total loan payments to $386,512. At 6%, the amount of interest paid rises to $231,676, a 24% increase. At 7%, it’s $279,018, a 49% increase. The lesson you need to learn here is this: You need to keep in mind what really might be gained from a further drop in housing prices as compared to what could easily be lost by a rise in interest rates.

With regards to the market in it’s current state, let’s review some recent indicators. Pending home sales, a forward-looking indicator based on signed contracts, rose 6.7% in April, the biggest monthly jump since October 2001. Existing home sales rose 2.4% in May with some homes, once again, receiving multiple offers. Note that most of those were probably at below market value to begin with. Mean while the most recent Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city housing price index shows the month-to-month decline in housing prices has stalled from 2.8% in January to February, 2.2% in February to March and 0.6% in March to April. This has led many industry experts to anticipate that soon the decline in housing prices will bottom out.

If you have a house in mind and the savings in hand right now for a down payment, this might be a great opportunity to purchase a home. One the other hand if you don’t have the down payment in hand, then now is the time to add a home business income stream to your portfolio to get the cash you need… before the market reverses itself and you begin to start telling yourself… if only I had back when.

Top Ten (Plus One) Tips for Working Remote (WR)

by Bruce Eric Anderson / May 18

Hello again fellow Entrepreneur,

It’s Wes here again, from SpidersMarketingWeb Home Business (HB) Weekly.

Each week I will be provideing you a HB Quick Tip to help you build your very own HB success story.

Did you get started last week with www.SpidersMarketingWeb.com and the ZERO cost video training series? If not, I really recommend that you get started today. We both know you want your own Home Business and you won’t feel right until you get it started. Besides, the training cost you nothing but your time so you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Information really is POWER!

On that note… Here is a motivational trigger that you can use in your own HB sales process.

People want to make more money. That’s a fact. Whether they want to start their own Home Business, enterprize, get a higher paying J.O.B. or maybe invest in the volitile stock market. This, and only this, will make them feel successful in their lives.

Business definition for the week:

Capital: This is money that is going to be invested in a biziness. Example: ‘I am starting my investment business with $5,000 in capital, $2,000 of which is my own money.’

Now, you and I both know that in the brick and morter (physical business) world, $5K isn’t going to start anything. But, in the online world, that $5k or even less – even nothing – can start a real Home Business with real profits in very short order.

So, if you have been letting a lack of capital stop you from starting your own Home Biz… then it’s time you got over it and do something to build for your own future. It’s the only real way you will ever get ahead.

Look for another Home Business online quick tip soon!

Again, I appreciate your joining us and we’ll see you in another week for your Business Plan Intro!

I have some “Bad” news for you. Actually, it is just about the most EXCITING “Bad” news that I have had to share with you now!

The Spiders Marketing Web System as you know it is DYING! In fact, it’s almost completely DEAD now.

We are killing it to make way for the release of the completely redesigned, new and improved Spiders Marketing Web 2.0!

We are putting the finishing touches, crossing all the Ts and dotting all the Is on the new system and let me tell you, it is going to be GREAT! I am really excited about where we are going with it.

A couple of the biggest changes that you will soon see are first, the streamlined, much easier to follow Spiders Marketing Web system setup process that your prospects are going to really love.

Even though the system will be 10 times more powerful than the current system it will also be MUCH easier to setup and therefore, able to convert your prospects into raving fans that will love to help you build your business.

The second… (and most exciting part for us) is the roll-out of what we are calling SpiderU. If I could point out the one shortcoming of the current system (as you told it to me) it is that there is not a lot of high quality true marketing training. We spent so much time building the site and focusing on the functionality of the system that we neglected the important parts of the system where we actually teach the new users like you how to do the actual marketing. That’s the part the makes you a success!

Well, with the release of the Spiders Markting Web 2.0 and the SpiderU that is all going to change… for the BETTER!

We have reached out to a HUGE list of the Top industry leaders and trainers on everything from driving tons of no-cost (FREE) traffic to your pages with Blogs, Articles, Social Media, Video and pretty much every form of marketing that you have ever heard of.

Pretty much, if there is anyone out there doing any form of successful marketing, and it has to be really working… then we are going after them to bring them into the Spiders Marketing Web to train YOU!

By way of giving you a little “Teaser” of what is coming soon with the 2.0 Release we have put together some “Preview” webinars with some multi-million dollar making industry experts who will be (while we are completing the 2.0 system) doing a series of webinars exclusively for Spiders Marketing Web Members.

This is my way of saying THANK YOU for your support of the Spiders Marketing Web and as an attempt to show you how much Valuable content there really will be coming in the new system!

These are 100% NO COST FREE webinars, all you have to do is login to your back office for the details for all the upcoming calls.

So that’s it, make sure to keep an eye out for more details about the new system roll-out in the coming days and weeks.

So again, THANK YOU for your support, we are really looking forward to bringing you TONS of value over the coming months and years. We have really out-done ourselves with the new system. I am totally psyched!

You should be too!

Here’s to our Mutual Success,
