You can build the best website in the world, but it is essentially useless without traffic. Likewise, you cannot build a website and expect that traffic will automatically come. You will need to implement certain strategies in order to attract visitors and ultimately retain them.<\/p>\n

These are five tips<\/a> and strategies for increasing traffic to your website and building better conditions for retaining that traffic.<\/p>\n

Always keep in mind that “content is king.”<\/p>\n

Not only should the content you create be interesting, but it should be interesting enough that it naturally urges to be shared via email or social networking. Because social networking<\/a> has such a strong presence in the online world at the moment, you will need to implement it into your marketing strategy in order to be successful.<\/p>\n

One way in which websites are creating shareable content is by strategically structuring their article headlines. For the sake of the argument, we’ll use an example headline. Compare the two following headlines:<\/p>\n
