July 30, 2019

There are many ways of attracting viewers to your website – we have selected a few that we find are the most important. Keep checking our blog to stay updated on the latest best practices to drive traffic and engagement to your website.

Personalized Newsletters

We all appreciate a personal touchand this is no less the case when it comes to the marketing we are subjected to online. Personalized newsletters have demonstrably increased conversions and customer retention, open rates (up to 30%)* as well as engagement with the content provided and higher click-through rates (CTR up to 15%)*.

In the past, publishers adopted a generic “one size fits all” approach to email marketing – but today, especially with segmentation and personalization – email marketing is focused on relevance. When profiling is done and engagement increases, you can send fewer emails to each subscriber and achieve greater results.

SEO, Internal Linking and Web Optimization

SEO:

Today, if you don’t understand SEO, you’re setting yourself up for failure. For content publishers, these are the main aspects of SEO that need to be optimized:

  1. SSL encryption to provide online security for viewers on your website
  2. Optimize for mobile to adapt to Google’s long-standing mobile-first policy
  3. Correct use of URL’s and Page Titles to allow indexing and better search results
  4. Make sure the website has a fast loading speed
  5. Internal links and back links

Internal Linking:

Google uses internal links to help discover new content.

Here’s what Google says:

Google must constantly search for new pages and add them to its list of known pages. Some pages are known because Google has already crawled them before. Other pages are discovered when Google follows a link from a known page to a new page.

Web Optimization:

Last but not least, you should make sure to optimize the website itself due to the fact that when your website isn’t found by search engines, business is lost. Web optimization is mainly about optimizing conversions and traffic.

Quality of Content

Content is king. As long as you create useful and valuable content on your site or blog, you’ll keep the visitors coming back. Also, the higher the quality of your content, the more engaged your visitors will be. They will share your content for you, helping to promote your site for almost no cost.

Video Is A Must

It goes without saying that videos:

  1. Are more attractive than text => Higher CTR/PageViews
  2. Engage visitors longer => longer time spent on site
  3. Definitely get more share and likes on social media
  4. Excellent asset for native and sponsorships
  5. Yield much higher returns in terms of CPM (cost per impression) value
