the traffic to your site will be via a wireless device. Its free
from AIT so why not.
2.
Give visitors content value and create an exchange point.
What is the focal topic or theme of your site and why should a
visitor be loyal? Think of it as an endless "HOW TO" be,
know or do. For example, people want to know HOW TO be
happy, rich, thin, successful, attractive, good, smart, efficient,
etc. One customer developed a site based on parenting or
HOW TO be a good parent. Within months, traffic had grown
exponentially as parents rushed to participate in newsgroups,
chat and discussions. The site exploded into a virtual
clearinghouse on parenting with links to related topics like
children's products, missing or abused youngsters, and
initiatives for improving education. Their web site became
parenting hub promoting interaction between parents, potential
customers, vendors, and partners. It is this interaction through
email, newsgroups, or other means that creates a domino
effect: traffic leads to advertisers which leads to paid
advertisers and an additional revenue stream. Visitors come to
a site for a reason; you're only looking for ways of making
their visit more beneficial for them (and for you).
Some practical content value drivers are:
a.
Make a "tip of day" link to keep visitor coming back. Allow
visitors to comment or vote on it online. Make it controversial.
Chances you can spend 10 minutes researching online and find
a good tip.
