How To Increase Website Traffic Instantly Over 100,000 Visits

In 2015 the entire indexed web contains over 4.5 billion pages. In this ocean of content, images, videos, and social media, it’s easy for someone with a struggling website to feel overwhelmed. In today’s digital age, the importance of website in promoting one’s business can not be over emphasized. One big challenge after creating a website is “How to drive traffic to the website?”

A website without visitors is like a business outlet without customers. It is therefore necessary to engage in strategies that will promote and attract visitors to the website, while simultaneously establishing yourself as a trustworthy member of the digital community.

Here are 5 actionable, quick, and creative ways to improve your website and increase your traffic.

1. Create Contents That Are Optimized For Search Engine

To increase the visibility of your website and boost traffic, incorporate content-rich search words that will earn your site more play in popular search engines. Since much website traffic comes from search engines like Google – especially when a user is discovering your site for the first time – you want to make sure you’re employing simple on-page SEO techniques, like consistently stellar website performance, keyword-rich text and titles, frequent content updates, etc. When incorporated organically, these are great ways to increase your presence in search results and bring more traffic to your site.

 

2. Improve Your Presence on Social Media

Your social media outlets should function as an extension of your website. Maintain fun and active Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts that don’t only promote your content, but serve to build up your personality and profile. Become active in social communities that are relevant to your content. In addition, make sure your content is easily shareable by implementing social plugins on your website (Like, +1, and Tweet buttons) in order to increase your site’s visibility on social networks.

 

3. Be Creative With Titles and Engage Your Audience

When sharing your content on social media or in link trades, think about creating titles for your posts and pages that will be more interesting to readers. Onlineadvertpros are experts at titles that are creative, honest, and engaging without being sensationalist. We’ve researched and collected some best practices on title length and word choices to determine what kinds of titles generate the most clicks. Think about ways you can implement these best practices to make the content you’re sharing more clickable.

 

4. Paid Traffic Platforms

In order to generate high traffic, many websites rely on the pay per click (PPC) model, a form of internet advertising in which the advertiser pays for clicks on their ads, only paying for actual traffic driven to their website. A digital marketing firm, onlineadvertpros.com has a more unique way of driving traffic to websites. They are one of the most reliable paid platforms in generating fast instant traffic to your website. One good thing about onlineadvertpros.com, is not only the fact that the visitors are unique, but also you will be given a personal Login so you can view the performance of your site in real terms. This platform, lets you gain instant traffic from as low as 5,000 to over 100,000 visits. Depending on your budget and industry, this might be a good option for you. Onlineadvertpros.com is one of the cheapest, cost effective, and result oriented digital marketing agencies. If you do want to take your site to this level of visibility, paid traffic platforms like Google Adwords, and onlineadvertpros.com can radically extend your website’s reach and increase your traffic. These platforms can help extend your reach and bring you a whole new audience that otherwise might not have been looking for you.

 

5. Provide Real Value To Your Audience

While all the above techniques may help you to gain new readers, you also need to think about keeping the ones you have – and how to inspire those readers to tell their friends and share your content. Create useful, unique, and timely content that your readers will organically want to share with their friends, and that will inspire those who are site owners or bloggers to link to your content. These links are a great organic way to improve your SEO. Use videos and images when appropriate to provide a more dynamic reader experience. Proof your content for grammar and spelling, and reveal your unique voice, point of view, and expertise. Word-of-mouth is still one of the most trusted ways to boost website traffic, and to generate this level of engagement, your website needs to focus on providing real value that are both entertaining and educational to your audience.

Control Risks, the global business risk consultancy, today publishes its annual survey of business attitudes to corruption, comprising interviews with 824 companies worldwide.

Corruption is still a major cost to international business. 34%* of respondents from Africa reported losing out on deals to corrupt competitors.
Corruption risks continue to deter investors. 30% say they have decided not to conduct business in specific countries because of the perceived risk of corruption.
And corruption is killing deals. 41% of global respondents reported that the risk of corruption was the primary reason they pulled out of a deal on which they had already spent time and money – even 55% of African respondents
But the picture is improving. Companies from countries with tight enforcement report fewer losses than before from corrupt competitors. In 2006, 44% of US companies said they had lost out to corrupt competitors, compared with only 24% in 2015. These figures are echoed for Germany and the UK. 81% of respondents agree that international anti-corruption laws “improve the business environment for everyone”.
However, there is still more to do. The survey shows that there are still wide variations in the maturity of company programmes. In the worst case, conventional compliance approaches can increase risk because they lead to a misguided sense of complacency.

Control Risks’ survey reveals companies are now more willing to challenge when faced with suspected corruption. 39% of companies said they would complain to a contract awarder if they felt they had lost out due to corruption (70% in South Africa), compared to just 8% of respondents in 2006. In 2006, only 6.5% of respondents said they would appeal to law-enforcement authorities, compared with 19% of global respondents in 2015, with 24% of respondents (60% in South Africa) now saying they would try to gather evidence for legal action.

Companies feel that international anti-corruption legislation is improving the business environment. Most respondents felt these laws made it easier for good companies to operate in high-risk markets (55%) and serve as a deterrent for corrupt competitors (63%). This was particularly true of companies in developing markets. 79% of Mexicans agree or strongly agree, as well as 68% of Indonesians, 64% of Brazilians and 53% of Nigerians. In the US 54% say tough laws make it easier to operate in high risk markets, while 42% disagree.

However, despite these positive developments, Control Risks’ survey suggests companies still need to do more. Third party risk is still relatively unrecognised. Just 58% of global respondents have procedures in place for due diligence assessments of third parties and only 43% have third-party audit rights.

The survey also suggests companies are not setting the right incentives to deter corruption. Respondents cited the fear of negative consequences as the penalty used most commonly to deter corrupt behaviour. On the list of eight deterrents to corruption, in sixth place are company performance criteria that emphasise integrity (along with financial targets). Establishing parity between financial targets and anti-corruption targets is vital to ensuring compliance is embedded into companies’ culture.

Commenting on the survey’s findings, Daniel Heal, Senior Managing Director East Africa at Control Risks, said:

“Too many businesses are still losing out on good opportunities to corrupt competitors, or choosing not to take a risk on an investment or entering a new market in the first place for fear of encountering corrupt practices.

“Companies need to find a balance and do more due diligence early on in any negotiation or market entry planning, to spot the points of light in countries that may otherwise appear as no-go areas.

“Another concern is an overreliance on compliance. Often when organisations have comprehensive compliance processes in place, business leaders treat them as a safety net and don’t police ruthlessly enough internally. More than half of the businesses we surveyed hadn’t conducted a corruption-related investigation in two years. Given the size and complexity of most organisations this would suggest there is a danger of a false sense of security in compliance departments.”

All may be set for the emergence of the youngest minister since Nigeria’s independence to man the Ministry of Youths and Sports, with apparent moves by the Presidency to shortlist the current President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, a lawyer as the next Minister for Youths and Sports.
A presidency source confided in our correspondent that the choice of Ikenga may have been one of the reasons that delayed the announcement of a nominee from Imo state.
The contention over the ministerial nominee from Imo which has raged between Obasanjo/Tinubu-backed Festus Odimegwu and Governor Rochas Okorocha’s In-law, Prof. Anthony Anwuka may have created the room for the emergence of a third neutral candidate being projected as a compromise nominee by some youth friendly elements in Buhari’s inner circles believed to be led by Former Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna state.
Ikenga’s candidature, our correspondent gathered also has the blessing of the All Progressive Congress (APC) chairman, Chief Odigie Oyegun and will to a large extent mollify the Nigerian youth population.
Ikenga whose name made a surprise appearance in the new list of three (3) nominees forwarded by Okorocha to the Party and Presidency after the first list was rejected, is tipped to emerge as the view-changer of the Buhari ministerial list episode which has been dogged with criticism of exclusion of youths against earlier promises of youth participation in government.
Our source confirmed that one of the early visitors to the SSS headquarters on Friday was Ikenga who he said spent about three hours in the agency going over his details and records.
An impeccable party source said it was Ikenga who brokered an out-of-court settlement between the APC and the rival African People’s Congress during the acronym legal tussle between the two parties paving way for the registration of APC and the successes that followed.
The source added that party leaders who worked with Ikenga during the period of crisis may feel obligated and favourably disposed to his nomination.

PRESS RELEASE

The Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Mallam Habib Abdulahi (www.nigerianports.org) has advocated for the provision of adequate port infrastructure by the Federal Government and the private sector to facilitate export activities through the nation’s seaports.

He however pointed out that other factors which might be extraneous to the Authority are also critical towards achieving enhanced export activities in the nation’s seaports.

Stressing that the provision of appropriate port infrastructure was necessary to enhance trade in the economy, Malam Habib assures that the Authority would encourage any effort designed to change the trade orientation of the nation from import dependent to export.

The 5th Anzisha Prize application phase is now open (http://www.anzishaprize.org), and the search is on to find Africa’s youngest, most exciting social and business entrepreneurs under 22 years of age. Africa is the world’s youngest continent, with over 600m people under the age of 25. The Anzisha Prize is a growing social impact program entirely focused on accelerating the entry of millions of young Africans into viable and exciting entrepreneurship opportunities within high growth economic sectors.

The impact and success of the program to date has encouraged co-hosts
African Leadership Academy and The MasterCard Foundation to extend their
collaboration for a further 5 years. The Anzish Prize will be a feature of
the entrepreneur landscape in Africa until 2020, and aggresively expand its
activities to not only encourage young entrepreneurs, but strengthen and
celebrate the ecosystem of organisations that develop young African
entrepreneurial talent in this age group.

They call it the #AnzishaEffect
(https://twitter.com/search?q=%23AnzishaEffect
<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23AnzishaEffect&src=typd> &src=typd), and it
is the power of stories about the very youngest entrepreneurs among us to
encourage others to follow in their footsteps. Africa needs strong,
innovative entrepreneurial young leaders to create jobs, solve problems and
drive our economies. Our continent’s future will be determined by
entrepreneurial leaders across all sectors.

“We have already seen the #AnzishaEffect at work through the inspirational
stories and leadership of Anzisha Fellows like Laetitia Mukungu, Andrew
Mupuya and Thato Kgatlhanye. They are now globally recognized and celebrated
role models,” says Reeta Roy, President and CEO of The MasterCard
Foundation. “We’re excited about expanding our support of the Anzisha Prize
so that many more young entrepreneurs in Africa can make a lasting impact in
their communities and countries.”

Each year, 12 finalists win a two-week trip to South Africa for a learning
experience of a lifetime at African Leadership Academy, and share over
$75,000 USD in cash funding. At a Gala Dinner, the grand prize winner is
announced and recieves $25,000 with which to grow their business. From 2015,
Anzisha Fellows will be actively supported through the recently launched
Youth Entrepreneur Support Unit (YES-U), based at African Leadership
Academy, which is a collaboration with leading business incubators on the
continent. Mentorship, consulting services, community gatherings and travel
opportunities will now define the fellow experience as they grow their
business ventures. New programs will be announced soon that focus on and
invest into other areas of the youth entrepreneur value chain.

Applications close on April 15th, 2015, and nominations are encouraged. The
Anzisha Prize is one of the most accessible and inclusive pan-African
opportunities for youth from any background. Application forms and
information are available in English, French, Portuguese and Arabic, and the
Anzisha Prize Tour team will visit key hubs and engage local media in every
region. There are also over 25 country partner organisations who are
available to assist applicants in countries where the tour does not reach.
Both paper and electronic applications are accepted.

“There are few programs with the reach and potential of the Anzisha Prize
that are so focused on this age group,” comments Josh Adler, Director for
the Centre for Entrepreneurial Leadership at African Leadership Academy, and
Manager of the Anzisha program, “This year, we will see the various parts of
the ecosystem we’ve been investing into since 2010 begin to really work
together for the benefit of Africa’s youngest entrepreneurs, wherever they
may be!”

Concerns by the military that ongoing offensive attacks against Boko Haram will make ensuring security at the polls difficult led to the recent postponement of the national elections. Although in line with the constitution, the delay is likely to do more harm than good as it effectively extends the period of uncertainty in the country.
The Naira is poised to take the largest hit on account of this delay. The NGN/USD pair has trended southwards in the months following the decline in oil prices. The CBN is already overstretched in terms of defending the currency as the reserves tend towards $32bn. Therefore, it is likely that the MPC will vote to devalue the Naira before the elections. The Naira at N199/$ currently trades well above the ±5% band at the interbank market. A further devaluation is expected sooner rather than later as inconsistencies at the geopolitical front are likely to further dissuade long Naira plays.
Over 90% of government FX revenue is from oil sales, the ECA and external reserves are down to new lows, and Nigeria’s significant import appetite continues to compound pressures on the currency. Thus, consensus view is that a further devaluation will occur.
The CBN is however restricted in terms of making significant policy changes (such as the complete removal the RDAs rate) due to the adverse impact it is likely to have on investors’ confidence. A gradual transition towards a central foreign exchange market (the interbank FX Market) is however a more subtle approach that may limit negative risk.
Summarily, the change in the date of the election is expected to have limited impact on the actual outcome of the race. Both parties will incur additional campaign costs, while the incumbent administration remains at an advantage (statistically c.90% of incumbents are re-elected). While the delay will allow more time for INEC to distribute PVCs and ensure the credibility of the electoral process, if further extended outside the lines of the constitution, the implication for the domestic economy may however be devastating.
Outlook for the local economy is dim, with FX stability and political uncertainties as major risks. Inflation is expected to increase and the nation’s fiscal positions deteriorate (in terms of both fiscal and current account deficits).
