How do you make views come to your website?

Answer 1

I am assuming from this question you mean page views as in incoming web traffic. First, to clear up something, generally speaking, page views is not the best over all statistic to measure traffic by. This is because a one visitor can represent many page views and even from just refreshing one page. And depending on how the web site is built, the visitor might only actually look at one page yet that one look might show as being many page views.

So what you might really be interested in is unique visits. Unique visits or unique traffic is going to best represent that actual visitor traffic to the site. When you look at your website statistics program you will generally see both page views and unique visits. (Most web hosts provide you with some sort of statistics program like "Awstats" to measure your incoming traffic with, although they are not 100% accurate like a good web analytics program would be, they are reasonably accurate).

So how do you make these views or visits come to your website? A large percentage of website traffic originates from major search engines. So first you have to determine what your site is about and what type of search phrases would be relevant. Then you have to figure out how to optimize your site in such a way as to achieve being represented somewhere at or near the first page of the major search engines for those relevant search phrases. That is a big way to increase the incoming traffic. Not an easy task which is why there are many professionals in the field of helping you bring traffic from the search engines because it is both a science and an art form to properly optimize a site and achieve top rankings n the search engines for it. Also too, there are many books and help on the subject but again it is often a learned experience.

Another way to increase incoming traffic is to advertise using banner or Pay per click advertising from major search engines such as Google, MSN AND Yahoo. Considering that those big three represent around 90% or better of all search traffic I wouldn't waste time or money on anything other than the big three myself.

Word of mouth, social marketing, external advertising, these are all ways to bring in the traffic. Getting your site linked from other websites. The bottom line is that there is not really a magic answer. It takes time, investment and development but if you are willing to invest money, time and effort into it you can develop your site to success.
