26步获得网站流量

原文作者:Shawn Campbell

1999年9月的时候,Brett Tabke在Webmaster World论坛写过一篇《26步达到一天15000》。现在已有很多不同,该考虑一个新的“26步计划”献给2006年的站长们了。一些旧的技巧仍然适用(比如,每天写出新内容),但一些已经不再适用(向搜索引擎提交已经不是必要步骤),我们这次就要告诉你什么该做什么不必做。你可能已经了解,要带来流量不是那么容易——要辛苦的劳动、抉择,是件体力活。所以,如果你已经准备好,那就卷起袖子,照着这简单的26步,一年之内,你会得到足够的流量,让你忙到不停歇。

A)关键字研究
在做任何举动之前,先用关键字工具来做一个广泛的调查,看哪些关键字/词适用于你的站点。你的直接竞争对手用的是什么关键词?是不是有一些有市场潜能的关键字你还没有发现?或许你能从中开拓出另一片崭新的境地?

B)域名
如果你希望你的公司名字打出品牌来,那就选一个准确反映它的域名吧。如果你的公司叫Kawunga,那就注册www.kawunga.com,如果不幸地已被注册,那就用www.kawungawidgets.com。不要用横杠(—),尽量不要超过两个两个词的组合。

C)避免沙盒测试
在你确定关键词和公司名称之后,尽早买下你的域名。尽快的把站点设置弄起来,放上一个简单的页面告诉别人你是谁,做什么的,以及网站详细内容会马上出来云云。保证它被Google和Yahoo!抓取到。(可以提交或者从其他站点连接到该站)

D)创建内容
为你的站点制作30页真实的原创的内容。这会令蜘蛛有东西可取,这也可以让你有机会从搜索引擎结果中了解更多的关键词。

E)站点设计
坚持“保持简单”的方针。调用一个外部CSS文件,清除页面上的Java Script代码,改用一个外部文件来调用它们,不要使用框架,以使用图片的方式使用Flash,千万不要做成整站Flash。不要把站点弄的花里胡哨,让浏览者觉得杂乱。保持整洁、简单。让浏览者可轻易找到需要的东西而不需到处张望。

F)页面大小
你的页面占的KB越小越好——特别是首页。优化那些图片,使页面载入更快。西方的大多数人和企业的网络速度都是很快的,但是在其他国家或者用移动电话可能就不是。如果你的站点载入缓慢,可能它在被访问到之前就已经失去了访问者。

G)可用性
确保你的站点遵循一些可用性规则。记住,人们在其他站点花的时间会更多,所以不要挑战设计习惯。不要使用PDF文件作为在线阅读。对已访问连接使用不同颜色,用好大小标题。查阅更多关于可用性的小知识,它们会让你受益不少。

H) 站点优化
在标题中使用你选取的关键词(最重要),然后大小标题和文字中也尽量包含。保证你的页面/内容是关于这些关键词的。如果你要卖小玩意,就写关于小玩意的内容。不要只是在文字中重复小玩意这个词。

I) 通站连接
通站连接是指在每一页面都相同的连接。 它们帮助新到访者不至于迷路。 有时它们在页面左侧,有时在顶部以小块出现。有时它们也会在页面底部。确保你的每个页面都有老式风格的通站连接。我通常在页面顶部放上小块式,在底部放上文字式。看什么方式最适合你用了。

J) 标头
使用加粗标头。人们上网常常只是扫视不会仔细读。所以基本上,他们都能看到的就是标头了。如你的标头不够吸引眼球,人们可能不会在内容上持久停留。如果可以,适量使用关键词。

K) 站点地图
创建一个站点地图,包含站内所有的页面连接。保持更新。它帮助蜘蛛进入每个页面。在主页面放一个指向站点地图的文字连接。< font="">
  T>

 

L) 内容
每2~3天添加一个新页,200~500词。内容要原创,不要复制他人。内容越是原创、有用,就会有越多人阅读它,连接到它,最重要的是–以后还会再来。

M) 优化有度
远离过度优化技术。过度优化指不择手段提高排行,使用搜索引擎不认同的方式,如关键字堆叠,门页,隐形文字,什么的。为长久考虑,优化要有度。作弊优化的站点通常最求短期效果,如色情,赌博和黑市。(看看你收到过的垃圾邮件就知道了。)这些作弊站点一般就刚刚足够一次活动周期。

N) 竞争分析
谁在和你争夺市场?到Yahoo用“link:”查查看。象这样:link:http://www.yourdomain.com 学习你的竞争者,也去取得那些网站的连接。最好能取代他们!

O) 提交
提交到5组目录:

1,Dmoz.org和Yahoo(本地的,比如Yahoo.co.uk, Yahoo.ca等等,如果可以的话)
2,找到你的行业目录并不加入他们。如果必须付费,也要看价格是否合理。
3,所在国家或地区的本地目录。
4,其他任何合适的目录。
5,如果你针对当地市场,则一定要加入黄页。(因为搜索引擎会使用这些列表来运作本地搜索。)

P) 博客
建立一个关于你的行业的博客并至少每周写一篇新文章。允许访客留言评论,或者甚至让他们自己在上面写文章。这可以创造更多内容,并使人们记得再回来看有什么新东西。

Q)外部连接
只需将你的网站提交到合适的站点,请他们也连向你,告诉他们这会令他们的访客收益。但不要在这方便花太多时间,如果你有原创的好内容,他们自然会找到你并连向你。记住,如果“内容为王”,那么“连接是后”。远离互惠连接、连接农场、鬼连接以及其他任何非自然的连接。他们不一定会伤害你,但是Google跟踪这一切:你什么时候获得了一个连接、多长时间获得一个连接,谁连着现在连向你的网站,你在哪里住,早餐吃的什么,等等。(有点玩笑,但确实是像那样的)

R)统计
保证你的服务器有个好的统计程序,并好好利用它。如果不能用到好的,就尽可能付费得到一个。如果不知道你的访客的信息,象谁在访问、来自哪些地方、造访频率如何等等,你会因为不具备这些基本的工具而在如何改进网站方面感到困惑。

S)付费点击(PPC)
注册Google AdWords与Yahoo Search Marketing。花一些钱做广告吸引人们到你的网站上来,也可以用它来塑造品牌。PPC会为你的网站固带来固定的客流,当然也会给你的潜在客户更多深入了解的机会。你并不必须做到No.1,甚至不必须做到No.5……只要保证你的广告在你的关键词下面排在搜索结果的第一页就行,注意广告的花费要合理。

T)向前看
在你的市场方向上保持关注最新动态。如果一个新产品会在下一季出来,现在就在网站写一写。先发制人,搜索引擎和连接者都会奖赏你。

U)文章
每周写一篇文章,然后到尽可能多的在线刊物去发布。(附上连接,连回到你的网站)在你自己的网站上也放上这些文章。这不仅会给你的网站创造很多连接,也会促使人们点击到你的网站,最重要的是,在你的访客眼中你会是一个专家!他们也许会开始搜索你的名字来找你的网站呢。

V)研究你的流量
在30到90天后你就会有足够的网站统计数据来做分析了。先用下面这些问题把数据过一遍:

- 你的访客来自哪里?
- 他们用哪些搜索引擎?
- 他们查询什么字、词组?
- 你网站上的哪些页面被访问得最多?
- 你网站上的入口页面是哪些?
- 退出页面呢?
- 访客按照怎样的路径浏览你的网站?

dana>把得到的结果提炼一下,精简你的网站:

 

- 用最受欢迎的页面鼓励访客过来,为你创造价值。
- 调整你认为最合适的浏览路径。
- 弄明白为何他们从那些退出页面退出。

然后,根据访客来访所用的关键词,细微的调整你的关键词设置。如果你的目标词是“green widgets”,而你的访客通过搜寻“green leather widgets”找到你,那你就应该开始创造一个“leather widgets”的内容了。

W)确认你的提交
3-4个月后,确认一下你是不是已经当初提交的目录所收录,象Dmoz.org等等。如果没有,再提交一次,或者更好的办法是,客气地给编辑写一个email询问原因。最后,发现新的目录,值得提交的话,不要放过。

X)RSS feeds
RSS (Real Simple Syndication或Rich Site Summary) 正成为因特网营销者的有力工具。你可以又简单又快速的给网站添加新内容。文章的feed时常更新,所以你可以跟你的访客(以及搜索引擎)他们需要的东西——新鲜内容!你可以用RSS来推广任何新内容,比如新的页面、文章、blog、新闻稿,等等。

Y)新闻稿
新闻稿是指你提交给媒体机构(报纸、广播、电视、杂志)的书面交流信息,通常用来发布一些有新闻价值的公告。你可以创建任何新的文章、公司信息、产品信息的新闻稿。如果它足够吸引人或者原创,媒体机构的工作人员会将它收录进去,写一份文章报道。有时,可能你的网站地址在纽约时报上被公布了,而你还不知道呢。

Z)保持新鲜内容
记住,每2-3天写一个新页面。我只是简单的这样提一下,但其实这可能是这整片文章中最关键的一点。不停的写!没有新鲜内容,你的网站会在搜索引擎中慢慢落下来。要保持第一,你的网站一定要有你那个领域里最快更新、最新鲜最吸引人的原创内容。

遵循以上26条简单的步骤,我确信,一年之内你的网站必定取得成功。你会获得所在行业的巨大流量、亲眼看到你的事业蒸蒸日上!
所以,开始写吧,把你自己写到第一!

The A to Z Guide to Getting Website Traffic
By Shawn Campbell
In September of 1999, Brett Tabke wrote "26 Steps to 15k a Day" in the Webmaster World forum. A lot has changed since then, and now is the time to consider a new 26-step plan that meets the current needs of webmasters in 2006. Some of the old ones still apply (writing new content everyday, for example), and some don't (submitting to the search engines is no longer necessary), and we're here to tell you which is which! As you probably already know, bringi

 

ng in traffic is not easy - it takes hard work, determination and lots of elbow grease. So if you're ready, roll up your sleeves and follow these 26 simple steps, and within just one year you will generate enough traffic to keep you busy for a long, long time!

 


A) Keyword Research
Before you do anything else, use a keyword research tool and do an extensive job researching the right keyphrases to use for your site. What keyphrases are your direct competitors using? Are there any keyphrases that create a potential for market entry? Are there any that you can put a spin on and create a whole new niche with?

B) Domain Name
If you want to brand your company name, then choose a domain name that reflects it. If your company is Kawunga, then get www.kawunga.com. If it's taken, then get www.kawungawidgets.com. No dashes, and no more than two words in the domain if appropriate.

C) Avoid the Sandbox
Buy your domain name early, as soon as you have chosen your keyphrases and your company name. Get it hosted right away and put up a quick one page site saying a little about who you are, what you sell, and that there will be more to come soon. Make sure it gets crawled by Google and Yahoo (either submit it or link to it from another site).

D) Create Content
Create over 30 pages of real, original content on your site. This will give the spiders something to chew on. It will also give you more opportunities to been seen in the search engine results for a wide variety of keyphrases.

E) Site Design
Use the "Keep It Simple" principle. Employ an external CSS file, clean up any Java Scripts by referring to them off the page in an external file, don't use frames, use flash the way you would an image, and no matter what, do not create a flash site. Do not offer a busy site with lots of bells and whistles to your visitors. Keep things nice and simple. Make it easy for them to find what they are looking for and they'll have no reason t

  o look anywhere else.

 


F) Page Size
The less kilobytes your page uses, the better - especially for the home page. Optimize your images and make sure the page loads quickly. Most people and businesses in the Western world may have high speed, but cell phones and other countries might not. If your site loads slowly, you may have already lost your visitor before they've even had a chance to browse around.

G) Usability
Make sure that your site follows good usability rules. Remember that people spend more time on other sites, so don't violate design conventions. Don't use PDF files for online reading. Change the colours for visited links, and use good headers. Look up usability for more tips and tricks, it will be worth your while.

H) On Site Optimization
Use the keyphrase you have chosen in your title (most important), your headers (when appropriate), and within the text. Make sure that your page/content is ABOUT your keyphrase. If you are selling widgets, than write about widgets. Don't just stick the word widgets into the text.

I) Globals
Globals are the links that remain the same on every page. They are the reference for new visitors to keep them from getting lost. Sometimes they are on the left of the page, sometimes they consist of tabs at the top. Often they are in the footer of the page as well. Make sure that you have an old style text version of your globals on every page. I usually create tabs at the top, and put the text versions in the footer at the bottom of the page. Find out what works best for you.


J) Headers
Use bold headers. On the Internet, people scan they don't read. So initially, all they will see are the headers. If your headers don't address their concerns, they won't stick around long enough to read your content. Use appropriate keyphrases when you can.

K) Site Map
Build a site map with a link to each of your pages. Keep it up to date. This will allow the spiders to get to

  every page. Put a text link to the site map on the main pages.

 

L) Content
Add a page every 2-3 days: 200-500 words. Create original content, don't copy others. The more original and useful it is, the more people will read it, link to it, and most importantly of all - like it enough to keep coming back for more.

 

M) White Hat Only
Stay away from black hat optimizing techniques. Black hat optimization consists of using any method to get higher rankings that the search engines would disapprove of, such as keyword stuffing, doorway pages, invisible text, cloaking and more. Stick to white hat methods for long-term success. People who use black hat optimization are usually there for the short-term, such as in porn, gambling, and Viagra markets (just look at your email spam for more black hat markets). These black hat industry sites are usually around just long enough to make a quick buck.

N) Competition Analysis
Who is linking to your competition? Use Yahoo's "link:" service to see the back links of your competition. For example, type in "link:http://www.yourdomain.com" into Yahoo search without the quotes). Try to get links from the same sites as your direct competitors. Better yet, see if you can replace them!

O) Submit
Submit to five groups of directories:

1. Dmoz.org and Yahoo (local, such as Yahoo.co.uk, or Yahoo.ca, etc... if you can).
2. Find directories in your field and get into them. Pay if you must, but only if the price is reasonable.
3. Local directories that relate to your country or region.
4. Any other directories that would be appropriate.
5. If you are targeting the local market, make sure that you are in the Yellow Pages and Superpages (because search engines use these listings to power local searches)

P) Blog
Start a blog about your industry and write a new entry at least once a week. Allow your visitors to comment or, better yet, write their own entries. This will

  create even more content on your site and will keep people coming back regularly to see what is new.
