Conclusion

November 29, 1999

If you pursue each of the traffic-building strategies described above, you should have enough work to keep you and a couple of grunts busy for years. And this still does not exhaust the list of things you can do to promote your site. Two URLier WDVL articles should also be useful. The way your site is designed and laid out has a lot to do with your traffic levels, especially when it comes to encouraging people to stay longer on your site, and to visit again. See "Build Traffic Through Good Site Design" . Also, if you're serious about maximizing your traffic, you need to keep the server logs that record your traffic statistics, and use log analysis software to process the information. See "There's gold in them there log files!".

The most important traffic-building secret of all is simple: offer a good product. Make sure your site is packed with useful content, and update it often. Money spent on updating your site more frequently may actually pay off better than money spent on marketing. If you're selling a product, make sure your site presents all the information that customers need. If you're selling ads, make sure your site offers good content that people can't easily find elsewhere. Make sure your site is well-organized, make sure it loads quickly, and please make sure everything works. The best marketing in the world can't help you if your site is buggy, badly organized, or outdated.
