How Can I Get People Visit my Site?

Setting up and designing a website takes time and lots of effort. So how can you make that effort not put to waste and bring in plenty of visitors? You may want to consider the following tips:

1. Keep your site simple.
Web surfers like web sites that are easy to read and navigate. Don't publish an article that increases the chance of your reader to having CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome) or eye problem. If an article is long, you may break it up into parts. You may also want to add a nice looking picture to each of your article, for a nicer look. A picture says a thousand words, so make sure that it tells something about your article. The image below is just nice, but really not providing relevance to the context of this article :)

2. For new web site, skip the web counters.
You can monitor how many people are visiting your website, but its better if you can keep it on your own at first. If a visitor is only the 10th reader ever, he may never visit again. However, if you already accumulated many visitor count, it's good advertising to put counter to your website.

3. Tell your visitor what your site offers.
To entice viewers to visit your site, you need more than a table of content. Give a brief information of your pages in your site to encourage more visitors.

4. Add new content.
People go back to your site because they are updated regularly. You may want to consider adding a blog to your site, to get people to return. Readers want new information.

5. If you can, remove the dates.
Most of the CMS (Content Management System) like Wordpress, Joomla, Typepad and others include "last updated" tags. Unless the site is being updated frequently, the date tags can be a turnoff. Visitors may think a web site that has not been updated in months cannot possibly provide relevant information.
