Using Facebook to gain traffic
If you are one of the people who are looking for the few extra bucks from websites, and you have your website already set up (an awesome CMS under the hood and an eye-catching design) you might be wondering where the hell you get your traffic from. Well, one of the best working ways to gain traffic is social networks.
Most of us don‘t really want to spend any extra cash on advertising our projects, especially if we‘re using a free website host, so we have to look at what he have already. And the most powerful tool for today’s advertising is Facebook. People spend countless hours on Facebook and there are numerous ways to abuse that.
The first thing that you want to do is create a fan page for your website and get as many people on there as you can. Invite your friends, ask them to invite theirs, offer some free stuff, for example coupons for free website hosting, to get them to like your page. Getting a large number of people in the Facebook group matters since this is going to be your source of traffic.
When you have a fan page set up go and have a look at the free developer tools that Facebook has to offer. What you want to really add to your website is the like box. This lets your visitors get an idea of how many people are like-minded. The like box also helps you to expand your fan base even more.
One more thing you should consider is letting people “like” your products or articles. Whenever a visitor “likes” a product or an article it is usually posted on their wall, thus generating interest from their friends and at the end of the day resulting in traffic for your website.
If you have a blog it may be wise to add a Facebook comment box. This will not only add some more dynamic content to your website but will post the link of the blog post on their wall, which generates traffic. Adding this comment box might be a bit tricky and require knowledge of PHP; therefore you should check if your website supports PHP code. If it does not, you shouldn’t worry too much, since there are some good free php website hosting companies out there.
While all this may seem a little bit scary, do not fear since there are only a few things to remember really. Keep in mind that all you have to do is concentrate on getting more and more people to like you on Facebook and make your site as interactive as possible.
