Get Website Traffic And Keep It

How much effort do you put into getting more visitors to your website?

If you serious about making money with affiliate programs or just want more people to read your words of wisdom then you will already know how frustrating it can be to see visitors come to your site and leave never to return again.

One way to help your visitor numbers is to provide an easy way for them to keep you in mind.

Using the RSS feed that WordPress provides is one way but for everyone who is not web savvy or an affiliate marketer it is not the best solution, it took me forever to work out what exactly was occuring when I signed up to an RSS feed on some site or other.

If your theme doesn’t provide a button or icon to your RSS feed it is usually at http://www.mydomain.com/feed/

A much simpler and easier to understand is to provide an email subscription with Feedburner. This is a free service from Google which allows the visitor to enter their email address and then automatically recieve an email with your new content.

How To Set Up A Feedburner Subscription

Go to Feedburner set up an account.

Burn a feed: Enter your Rss URL and press next.

Go to the Analyse tab–> Configure stats–Check Item Links

Go to the Optimise tab–>Enable BrowserFriendly, SmartFeed and FeedFlare.

Go to Publicize tab–> Enable Buzzboost,Email Subscriptions,Pingshot,Creative Commons,

On this tab go to NoIndex and make sure both boxes are unchecked, you want your content indexed!

At each save click the “save” button

Now go to the Email Subscription link on the Publicize tab and scroll down to a box of code. Highlight it and click copy, make sure you have all the code!

Now go to your WordPress dashboard and click “Widgets”

Place a text widget into your side bar, mine’s at the top and paste the code your copied into it. Give it a catchy title and you are good to go.
