Engaging visitors to a website is vital to
maintaining long term success with lead conversion. Search engines monitor the
traffic they send to a website to see if visitors stay on that site for a
length of time in addition to keeping track of how many pages on that website
they visited. These metrics help determine a website’s search engine ranking
which can make it successful or cause it to fail miserably. So, to clarify,
visitor behavior on a website now will determine its rankings in the future.
This is why it is important to have quality content that visitors find
interesting.
Another important factor in maintaining
high search engine rankings is having a lot of quality back links. Now, when we
speak of quality back links, it is important to avoid spammy links. Sometimes
it can be difficult to determine which links are spammy and what is quality.
Using software such as seoprofiler.com can be helpful to find more quality
links and help avoid spammy links.
It is common to have to pay for quality
back links from time to time. Where search engines frown upon this, they also
have no way to tell what is a paid link and what isn’t unless a link is marked
as a sponsor. Another way to obtain quality back links is to send out guest
posts for others to post on their blog or website that includes quality
information that their visitors might enjoy with a link at the bottom giving
you and your website credit as the author.
Social media also plays a roll in getting a
website ranked higher. The more shares your posts get along with likes and
comments, the more creditability your website will have. That turns into more
web traffic and page views which in turn increases conversions. Social media is
a great way to keep web visitors engaged. Even if they do not buy something
from your website, they may still like your Facebook page which allows future
posts to show up in their newsfeed and gives you a chance to make that sale
again at no additional advertising cost.
