As you know that one strategy would not fit all. Similarly, not all traffic is the same that is being directed to your website. Some may be directed out of interest whereas some would be a click by mistake. In the second case, the visitors would not even be interested in reading the content. These are the ones that are solely increasing the vanity metrics. The best part of the later one is that though they won’t buy, they would still be exposed to your brand. This will not be high quality traffic. Only the targeted traffic is the one that is going to generate higher ROI.

Lets go through the different strategies one by one:

Content Creation

Content is the king. The relevant the content the more it can contribute to the clicks for your website.

As Google is flooded with multiple information about a certain topic, thus it scrapes out websites that fail to provide relevant content to the visitors. Thus instead of publishing a low quality article every fortnight, you would be better off publishing a long well researched article a month that keeps you full.

Repack and Repurpose your old content

As your website has been in article blogging for quite some time. It could be possible that the already published content has been out-dated. You need to revisit the old content and repurpose it into different pieces. These pieces can be distributed into different channels increasing your reach 10 times more. Even re-writing the content in a different style would do wonders for the website traffic. Republish old article with latest data will bring your blog on the top of search engines. Just throwing irrelevant words won’t help in any way. The content needs to be relevant and apt to the topic. This would keep the readers occupied and keep revisiting for new content.

Posting frequently

Once you have noticed the increase in traffic on your website using certain tools, you need to make sure to feed the visitors with more data. Doing so, will send signals to Google about the account being active lately. This will further inspire the visitors to crawl on the site more frequently to grasp more information. Starting from one long active per month can slowly be increased to per week article or blog and end up with every fortnight posting.

Varied content

One style of content will only attract one type of visitors. To have a varied traffic, you need to post different styles of content. Going completely off beat will confuse the readers. Once a while you could throw up a deviated content to showcase variety of styles in writing.

Compelling headlines will help optimize social traffic and search traffic. The right keywords and the right length of the headlines compel readers to click and read further. Understanding the keywords play is the prior task. Google Keyword Planner helps to pay attention to the keywords used when you plug in your blog post ideas. It jots down the monthly searches and competition for these keywords. Beyond this, innovative ideas of styles of writing can also be incorporated. For example, you could write a question that everyone would have at the back of their minds, or creating a sense of urgency or curiosity will also do the job. Using power words and clear headlines will trigger the emotion of the reader.

Partnerships

This is not an uncommon feature used by websites lately. Partnering with other online portals or websites will attract traffic to your website. Sharing audiences is a tried and true tactic that has worked since a decade back. Consider partnering with well reputed websites that have good connection about the product or service that you wish to sell.
