Increasing Visitors To Your Website

Websites such as Facebook and Twitter have revolutionised how people communicate and how they use the web. Facebook has now overtaken Google as the most popular website in the world, and over half of British internet users have Facebook accounts. This adds up to a massive potential market. Creating a page or group on Facebook will allow people to add it to their ‘likes’, each time they do this it is broadcast to their friends, effectively endorsing and promoting your company or product. You are also able to use it as a tool to keep your ‘fans’ updated on your latest news or to contact them directly.

Twitter is another popular tool for providing web users up to date news. Twitter users can post a short message that is shown to all of their followers, this could be announcing a special offer or a new product. If your tweet is particularly useful or offers a great deal your followers may copy (‘retweet’) your message sending it to all their followers. Due to the real time nature of Twitter some businesses are finding it incredibly useful. Estate Agents, for example, are adding new properties to their Twitter feeds so their followers can see it straight away, sometimes before they even get back to the office!

Blogging

Creating a blog is a great way to keep users up to date with your latest news, a new product, a trade show you’ll be attending or a new development in your field of business. By regularly adding new content to your website, especially if it includes information that customers will find useful, you will increase return traffic to your site. Visitors are also able to subscribe to your blog using RSS so that the latest articles are delivered directly to their inbox or home page. A blog will also allow you to increase the number of pages, and fill them with relevent keywords to help with Search Engine Optimization. Webbed Feet UK have our own blogging system that allows you to easily add new articles for users of any technical level.

New Media

Videos offer a great way to engage your customers, showcase your products and generate traffic. You can embed videos into your site as well as hosting them on a site like YouTube. YouTube itself is one of the most searched websites and its videos are well indexed on Google. A good example of using a video would be a tile shop creating a series of videos on tiling. These videos would be useful to customers but also to a much wider audience, anyone looking for information on how to tile would be able to find these videos and would be exposed to your site. By creating useful videos other sites will be inclined to link to you which helps drive traffic and improve your search engine optimisation.

Creating videos for the web is very easy these days, any reasonable digital camera and some mobile phones will allow you to take short video clips that are high enough quality to use on the web. We can edit your videos together if you need, and we can embed videos in your website as well as creating and branding your own YouTube channel.
