If you want people to go to your site from social media then give them a reason to. Interesing, regularly update content on your blog which would entice people into retweeting/sharing your content is the best way. Also look at which geographical audience you want to target, for example; there are certain times of the day when it is best to tweet so that it appears on your followers' timelines, giving the tweet a higher chance of being seem.

In order to increase traffic to your website, you should create unique informative content and post them in right category. Use social media to curate your content and update it regularly.

There are plenty of things you can do in order build links but always remember that quantity isn't the only thing which you should consider, you should concentrate more on the quality of the links rather than their quantity.

There are plenty of things that could be done to increase traffic to your website. Being active on social media is one thing. For the cause of link building, you could rely on active and high quality directory sites. Make it a point to write some genuine reviews and maybe you could pull a link back to your site. Stay update with your content and a blog page on your website can do wonders if you update it on a regular basis with unique fresh content.

In social media world there is a difference between traffic and good traffic.

When you post a link on facebook you can get a lot of traffic.

When you post connent on a web and you get people from google here you have a good traffic.

 

I think it is all about visitiors who are intrested in you content.

If you want people to attend your web site by social media subsequently allow them to have reasons to. Interesing, regularly update written content with your web site which might tempt people in to retweeting/sharing your content is the better means. Also look at that geographical viewers you need to goal, by way of example; there are specific periods on the morning while i suggest you twitter update in order that it seems with your followers' timelines, supplying the particular twitter update a greater possibility of being seem.

Social bookmarking,Article submission,Press release,Blog submission and social media optimization best for increase for backlink.

I add our page in some social media sites.but i dont get traffic.

So Please give your ideas to increase the backlinks of my website.

Why do you think backlinks (or social media) is going to increase traffic?

 

Do you want backlinks or do your want to make money. The two are not related.

 

Have you got a website that people will want to visit? Are those people who do vistit converting? Are you analysing where your visitors are coming from? Maybe you need to work on converting more of your visitors rather than chase the mythical traffic beast.

 

Here's a novel idea. Why not create a site that is jam packed with great content that people like and share and come back to again and again. You won't need any backlinks, your customers will do everything for you.

Depends upon your website theme, which social media platform you are targeting and what type of content your sharing, At first analyze your followers/Fans peak time when they are online, then post interesting or eye catchy content that convince your followers/Fans to click on them and drive to your website.

 

and your second question is how to get backlink, well it depends on your strategy to build link, you can do two things, first is... create some interesting content on your website and share it on social media and some one will give you backlink if they find it worthy otherwise you can make backlink manually by yourself.

All pointless. None of them will make any difference at all. except maybe raise a red flag at the Googleplex.

There are a few things you can do to get more backlinks. One thing you could do is broken link building. Have a look through some websites and blog posts that have similar content to your website and see if they have any broken links. If they do, then you could email them and tell them that you noticed the broken link and that you have an alternative, which just happens to be your site. May not work all the time, but when it does it can have a really positive effect.

Make an ahrefs account to see backlinks to your website. Then you can use the site explorer to search for your competition where they post backlinks and try to get your links there also.

Do Link building task for your page. generate as many back links as you can for your page this will help in ranking your keywords. In adding to this keep doing posting in social media sites regularly so as to make people engaged in your content.

You can create articles with content trending and interesting (Google Trends is your friend) and submit it to:

 

* Reddit

* Hacker News (only about technology)

* If you are offering a web service you can post in Pineapple.io

* Promoteproject.com

* Important forums (like this or ukbusinessforums.co.uk)

* Try to promote it on new social networks and web services

* Offline ads sometimes can be useful (posting an advertisement in a bus stop, for example).

Since just about all your suggestions are for sites with no-follow links I can't really see what use they will be.

Hey,

 

There are many, many ways to get (acquire) high-quality backlinks. Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

 

Firstly, think about who you are writing content for. Is it your customers?

 

There's a myth floating around the web in the marketing world that content is king and as long as you write high-quality content, then you'll get backlinks and traffic. Unfortunately, this just isn't true.

 

Most people write content for their audience (customers/potential customers).

 

This is a big mistake.

 

Sure, you should have your money pages set up and tailored for your customers and tweaked for high conversions, but the content that you write and promote on your blog, the stuff that will help you get backlinks should be aimed at those people in your market/niche that have the power to link to you, and more often than not, these people are not your customers.

 

Here are a few tips that will help you get better traction and acquire more links and social shares (social proof):

  1. Research the influencers in your industry. The people with the ability to link to your content (website owners/bloggers). Those that have a significant following on social media, who can help to spread the word about your content.
  2. Once you have your list, find out what content is being shared and linked to by these people on a regular basis.
  3. Pick a topic that you believe will resonate with this new audience.
  4. You can use tools like BuzzSumo and Ahrefs to help you find content on this topic that has already been successful and popular. Base your new piece on one of these pieces of content, but make it better, more in-depth and more actionable.
  5. Use a proven content framework to develop your piece. Here's an article on a couple https://blog.bufferapp.com/content-marketing-frameworks, but there are loads of them. Some frameworks that kill it every single time are lists, expert round-ups, and case-studies/statistical pieces.
  6. Target a specific 'medium-tail' keyword and make sure you have it in your meta title, meta description, h1, one h2, an img alt tag, in the first 100 words, and last 100 words.
  7. Sprinkle LSI keywords throughout your content. Don't go crazy, just pop half a dozen in there, throughout the piece.
  8. Write long-form content (1900 word plus), this type of content gets shared more, linked to more and correlates more with page-one rankings.
  9. Use share triggers in your content.
  10. Make the content actionable. Make sure that they can do something with what you have provided.

And here's the final, IMPORTANT piece of the puzzle.

 

Promote it like crazy.

 

Most people will tell you that writing great content is enough, it's not.

 

You need to promote the content like your life depended on it, and this is where influencers come in.

 

Perform outreach to these influencers telling them about your article, contact them on Twitter, Facebook etc. Don't be pushy, just let them know about the content, don't ask for a link. A short, personal, email letting them know about the resource is all you need initially.

 

Contact website owners who link to similar resources and let them know about your content.

 

Schedule lots of Tweets and other social media posts to go out over a period of weeks.

 

You can go in-depth on each of the points above, and learn specific techniques related to them, but this should start you on your journey.

 

There are also a ton of 'link-building' techniques out there, such as broken link building, the moving man method, the applesauce technique, specific outreach techniques, resource link building and many, more, but first, start with your content and your influencers.

 

Once you start acquiring high-quality backlinks (despite what's been said above), your rankings will increase and in turn, your organic traffic, as well as your referral traffic will increase.

 

I use all of the above and more on a daily basis, and I've gone from 0 visits to over 2000 plus unique sessions, 1.2k plus social shares and several high-quality backlinks in under 1 week using these techniques on several websites, and it never fails. Sometimes you don't quite get the results you achieved in previous posts, but it never fails and you always get traction.

Since just about all your suggestions are for sites with no-follow links I can't really see what use they will be.

 

Think you're missing the point.

Sprinkle LSI keywords throughout your content. Don't go crazy, just pop half a dozen in there, throughout the piece.

This looks more like SI keywords. LSI is about finding patterns in unstructured data. It uses a complex mathematical model called singular value decomposition to find relationships. It's not the same as semantic indexing.

Yeah, I know what LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) is, and that's exactly what I'm talking about.

 

The relationships between concepts and words, phrases and topics. LSI keywords are keywords that Google deems related to your primary keyword/topic, which gives it more semantic meaning and helps tremendously with ranking and indexing your site.

 

It also helps Google determine how relevant your content is for a given topic.

 

The more semantic context your content has, the more relevant Google will deem it to be on a specific topic, thus increasing your ranking.

 

When you write long-form content, generally you tend to include LSI keywords naturally, but to be doubly sure, sprinkle a few of them within your content.

 

Here's an example. Take the keyword 'cars'.

 

How does Google know from your content that you're talking about Cars the movie, or cars as in the automobile? The answer is LSI.

 

Using the mathematical model you mentioned above (plus some of Google's own secret sauce and machine learning algorithms), Google is able to parse your content looking for relationships between words and phrases. So when it sees keywords like 'director', 'cast list', 'film critics' etc within the content, it can mathematically work out that your content is more than likely about Cars the movie.

 

So, yes, I'm talking about LSI keywords.

There is no such thing as LSI keywords. LSI is a process - the key is in the name Latent Semantic Indexing.

 

What you are discussing is keyword modifers - the words you include to ensure people (and Google) understands you are talking about Cars the Movie not Cars the pop group. So what you re saying is quite correct and good practice, but it's not LSI keywords.

 

It's also worth noting that LSI only works if you have a large corpus of documents. You need a huge amount of material to build the matrices used to do the indexing. This is an excellent article that explains why: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.91.6171&rep=rep1&type=pdf

 

Sprinkling your copy with related keywords won't achieve anything useful. What LSI does is look for related documents. For example LSI will see the pattern in documents about Cars the Movie and connect them to documents about Pixar because there is a causal relationship. If you include the word Pixar in your Cars the Movie document the boost is given to other documents about Pixar that don't mention Cars the Movie. That's what LSI is all about.

Driving traffic to a website takes time. It is not something you can do in 24 hrs. But add you page link in the social media website articles that are relate to your website. If you will add them in the unrelated articles than that will not get you any traffic.

So to simplify this right down, is the purpose for Google to find out which websites contain a similar topics so it can value the backlinks in relation to the content? Or have I completely misunderstood the point of LSi?

Edited by neil0wen

LSI isn't really about backlinks - it's about finding relationships in a corpus of documents. It's not about keywords either, LSI is about building a matrix of information about a topic and developing and understanding the meaning in those documents.

 

It is a hugely complicated process and requires a lot of storage. It's not something even an organization like google will apply to everything. For example, a LSI experiment on a Wiki took 5 hours to complete and 35GM of diskspace for just 400 LSI factors.

 

LSI uses the structure of each document and builds a pictures of that document. It compares this to all the other documents in the corpus and from there a set of matrices which can be uses in the subsequent interrogation of the data.

 

In other words, it's not something you need to worry about on your website. Just make sure you have really good quality content so if Google ever decides to do LSI on your subject matter your document will add to the mix. It won't help your ranking and it won't get you more visitors.

So websites that contain a lot of quality information, and that cover a lot of different subjects, Google takes the words and tries to understand the context of the information? Is that right?

 

However I'm assuming Google must define smaller sites topic areas in a more basic way (maybe just picking up on keywords without trying to assimilate what context they should be used in, in order to place them within its search engine?

 

In which case all that LSI is doing is placing more accuracy on websites search results that have put more effort into their websites content, but not necessarily pushing them higher in the search engine?

Edited by neil0wen

From the website Gareth has used it says this:

 

'LSI Keywords are essentially keywords related to the keyword that you search for on search engines such as Google. In a nutshell, they are keywords that are semantically linked to your main keyword. In practical terms, Google has confirmed that by using more LSI keywords, your page will typically rank better.'

 

However I find it difficult to believe that Google would be so limited to certain keywords. Surely these are simply words that are most commonly used within Google by its users?

 

I typed web design into that site and got 'graphic design firms california' as one of the results. Based on that it must be popularity, which that site is really showing and nothing to do with LSI.

Edited by neil0wen

That's just normal searching, it has nothing to do with LSI. The site Gareth links to is wrong. They are not describing LSI. There is no such thing as LSI keywords. LSI uses all the data in all the documents to build the matrix. It needs thousands of documents to do this. The amount of effort you put into creating a document is irrelevant, it just gets pooled with every other document in the corpus.

Thought so.

 

Getting off LSI, and back to backlinks as per the original thread. My train of thought is that Google like to encourage natural backlinks. So if this is the case then surely the most natural backlinks are those which are industry/topic related websites?

 

The reason I mention this is because I see that people say that all you need to do is build great content. However building natural backlinks is different depending on what type of website/business you have. For example if you are a web design magazine you have thousands of web designers wanting to reference to you most of which use a normal type of link. However if you are the web designer, these magazines, high end blogs, forums, social networking site etc use a nofollow link. And unlike the magazines no matter how good your content is you are unlikley to get a backlink from a competitor.

 

This means many web designers use backlinks from clients, which of course are non topic related and therefore unnatural and do more damage than good.

 

The point I am getting to is that writing great content is good, but some sites are unlikely to gain great natural backlinks.

 

This means for these people, my suggestion would be to carry on promoting the site as per normal, but don't expect high levels of backlinks. However you can still gain high levels of traffic by writing lots of different and unique content you think your clients may be asking. This means that you will be found on Google for lots of different topics increasing traffic to your website instead of being found for those few big search terms.

Edited by neil0wen

It takes some time for the google bolt or crawler to crawl a website and index it. The traffic will not increase as soon as you will add back links in the social media blogs or forums. You have to wait for a few days and then check the increase in the website traffic. We should not check the website traffic on daily basis. Are you building the back links with forum and blogs posting and directory submission? To increase the website traffic, the contents of your website should have quality in it not just quantity. You should refresh your website contents regularly.

Make sure that the website you are commenting for getting the back-links have do-follow written in the html code otherwise having your back link in a website with no-follow written in the html code does not give us any benefit of having aur website link in the high PR website.

If you want to know about how to increase the website traffic. You need to do following thing:

  1. Directory submission- no link buying or reciprocal links
  2. blog commenting- no spam comments
  3. back link building with forum commenting-no spam comments
  4. Frequent update of your blogs post
  5. Relevant page title and relevant meta description and meta keywords in your website
  6. Relevant and high quality contents in your website
  7. Understanding that traffic has nothing to do with Page Rank
  8. Understanding do-follow and no- follow for back-link building(you need to build both of them to make the your website links look natural)
Guest posting is a commonly used method by bloggers to earn Backlinks.

Having a good Social media presence can boost your Backlinks

You can promote your blog in discussion forums related to your niche for Backlink building.


Thanks,
