When I try to explain to most people about what I do for a living, I find myself doing a lot of talking.  Generally, the more I talk, the more confused they look.  I must admit, that verbal communication is not my strong point.  I find that my brain works a lot faster than my mouth can get the information out.  So, generally, I just tell them that I build websites.  That they understand.  But as those of us that build websites for a living, we know there’s a whole lot more to this game.  Sure, anyone can build a website.  But, what’s the point of building a site, if no one ever sees it.  That’s the tricky part.

Getting visitors to your website, can be accomplished in a number of ways.  You can pay for advertising on other sites, through a model often known as PPC (pay per click).  Basically, if a visitor is referred to my site from another site that has a link to me, then I pay a fee for that visitor. Another approach is to do SEO on your website, or outsource it to a firm like Datadial.  They are a search engine optimisation agency that understands what it means to get visitors from the search engines.  By following the techniques they practice, you can get very targeted visitors to your website, that will be interested in what your website is all about.
