This is the big question today in business. I’m going to tell you about the primary way to generate website traffic and it’s free. You’re going to have to do the work, but it’s free to you. You won’t have to hire a soul to get it done or you can hire someone to do certain parts of it.

I have 200+ websites. Most of my sites are only 4-5 pages. Some are 250+ pages. Depending on what you want your website to do, will determine the number of pages and how you should structure it.

One thing is common with all my websites and that is all of them are built with the WordPress platform. Why? It’s simple to build and update and Google likes WordPress. It’s simple to rank in the search engines if you follow some very easy instructions and you’ll generate more website traffic. And the best part about WordPress is that it’s FREE! They have a bunch of free themes too.

Pick out a WordPress theme and go get it attached to your website or if you don’t have a website, make it your website.

If you want to generate free traffic to your website, start a blog. Blog’s are used differently today that they were when the Internet started. Most people think that a blog is used only as a journal or a way to rant and tell things about you that you want to get out there. Not today. Blog are used by smart businesses to get high rankings in the search engines by talking about their businesses.

Why does Google and the search engines like blogs? Because blogs are constantly being updated with fresh information and the search engines like that. They are never static, they’re always fresh. If your site was built 3 years ago and nothing was ever added, the search engines think it’s dead, so they won’t look on it favorably and pass right by it.

So what do you write in your blog? You write about your company, but you do it in a way that the search engines will notice you and that is done with keywords. This article is a blog post. You wrote some words in the search bar and hit search and you found this article. This article is written around a keyword and it’s cousins. Cousins are keywords similar to the keyword.

This is the beginning of generating free traffic to your website (just used a cousin keyword). Do your homework and it won’t be long and you’ll be getting listed high up there in the search engines and people will find your website.
