Of course! Then this is just the perfect post for
you. Whether it’s a high traffic blog or an eCommerce website, you need to
remember that traffic isn’t created equally, that some visitors are buyers and
others are browsers.
If you have one hour a day, you can do a lot to
increase the number of visitors to your website. The best way to get more
traffic to your website quickly is to add more targeted content, promote that
content, and keep repeating that.
Notice that targeted content is bold, that’s because
knowing your audience is of vital importance. Writing whatever you fancy,
whenever you fancy isn’t going to suck in traffic, and if your business needs
the leads, writing on a whim isn’t a good marketing strategy, and not writing
for your ideal customers will make your online marketing experience incredibly
painful.
