Increase Web Traffic Without Working

April 7, 2009

How can you increase web traffic without working too hard? A fair question, since you as a webmaster are probably already strapped for time. Adding video content, updating pages and formats, and installing updates to the server can certainly be a fulltime job. You probably know by now that one of the best ways to get new traffic to your site is to regularly produce new content.

However, you don’t have to invest hundreds of hours to writing just to increase your web traffic. You can hire a ghostwriting service to come up with fresh articles for you. You also have the option of hiring an SEO service to perform Search Engine Optimization for you in HTML programming. (Some companies offer both SEO and article writing) When you have original and helpful content, the search engines notice, and in the end your public notices that you are the “authority” on your chosen keyword. This is what’s going to bring you higher rankings in searches and better conversion rates. The best part of it is that you can delegate this writing duty to someone else, while you concentrate on more important webhosting endeavors.

Google Reader

April 13, 2008

A few years back, our friends at Google developed a handy system for aggregating all of our favorite RSS and Atom feed items into one handy reader - it was called Google Reader. Since its inception, Google Reader has become one of the foremost feed aggregators around.

One of its most attractive features is that it can be used online or offline. It allows readers to download up to 2,000 items for offline viewing. Once back online, Google Reader updates itself.

Another very nice feature of Google Reader is the ability to create and share feeds of items you like with your friends. You can add your own notes and comments, and even share webpages that don’t contain an RSS feed.

As a way to maximize the available time you have for reading what matters most to you, Google Reader is an extremely helpful resource. You can sort your reading list by relevance and also search for blogs and sites that you might have previously missed out on by using the Discover option, which finds blogs and sites that are based on your existing subscriptions.
