In the past two years I have had many business owners asking me how to get more web site traffic. Many of them thought that if they just add more stuff to the web site, such as a blog, they will get more traffic.

However, many times they neglect to make their web site ready for marketing. If you do not make sure that your web site is ready to accept the web site traffic you are going to send to it, you are not going to get results.

Marketing a web site that is not ready is like sending customers to a store without cash registers and without a simple way to buy. People may come to check out the store, but they will not buy.

Unfinished does not mean that your web site design is not finished. You may have a web site that has been beautifully designed by a talented designer. However, if your web site does not have the marketing elements that will turn your web site visitors into customers, it will remain just that - a beautiful store where no one buys.

If you want to get customers from your web site, it should be effective - it should explain to your visitors the benefits of what you are offering, it should help them decide to buy from you.

Your web site should be user-friendly - it should be easy to explore everything on your web site, your web site visitors should be able to easily travel from page to page, etc.

You should also optimize your web site for search engines - use good, descriptive tags for search engines and add good, useful content that search engines can index.
