How to Increase Page Views to a Website

When you build a website, the first question that usually worries you is “how to get visitors to stay on my page.”

If your website is informative and has what it takes to facilitate people, the users should come to it because they will get what they want. But sadly, most of the times, this does not happen. The Internet users usually flock to those websites that rank well on Google and other key search engines — regardless of how informative their content is.

On the other hand, if a website is competing in a certain industry, paid marketing campaign is the answer to many of the traffic woes.

So here we assume that you have built a website, but you are scratching your head over how to attract people to the pages. To make matters worse, you do not have enough cash to invest in SEO (search engine optimization), which ensures good ranking on Google. Neither do you want to start a paid marketing campaign to drive traffic.

    Analyze your niche

    First off, analyse your niche (or industry) and its users. Try to adapt the website to the taste/age/level of education/preferences/likes of your users. For instance, if your website is designed for educators and students, relying on flashy design and a solid colour scheme will not keep the visitors engaged on the pages. In this case, you will have to rely on quality and informative content, which will make the visitors want to search more pages of the site. Similarly a website for teenagers can pull off better page views if it relies more on flash, graphics, pictures, and creative lines (big and bold).

    Do not move ahead until you have worked on this factor first.
