If you have built a business website, it will only be successful if you can get targeted website traffic to visit it and stay on it long enough to get your message and act on it.

The more time a visitor spends on your site the more likely it is that they will get your message and take action. Enticing visitors to click through the pages of your website is a good way to keep them on your site. You can increase page views in four easy steps:

1. Fill your site with relevant, unique, well written content: People are hungry for good quality relevant information and that is one of their key motives for surfing the Internet. If your site delivers the information they need, they will be more than willing to return to it and possibly even recommend it to others. Your content will also get picked up by the search engines, so people will keep on visiting it and your page views will dramatically increase.

2. Keep It Simple, Silly. Most of us have heard this phrase (KISS for short), but it especially applies to writing for the Web. If you have a difficult time writing short copy, take some time to train yourself to do just that.

It’s been proven time and again that basically, people who surf the Web have relatively short attention spans. Therefore, Internet writing has to be shorter than print writing because people tend to scan content instead of actually reading it as they might in a print article.

So instead of presenting an article that’s a thousand words long, present excellent, attention-getting content in shorter sentences (and articles) while still getting your message across. For example, you can break a long article up into several “chapter” installments that people can read in short spurts. Encourage people to go to the “next page” or “next section” by strategically placing a link at the bottom of each short “chapter.”

3. Use proper highlighting and formatting: The style and appearance is very important. If your website looks dull, with great chunks of hard-to-digest text, people will surf out as quickly as they surfed in.

Carefully done, this type of formatting makes text more interesting to read because it breaks it up for the eye and gives it something to “focus” on. And don’t be afraid to use plenty of white space along with your text. Break your text up into small chunks separated by plenty of space, and you’ll make your content easier to read.

4. Put some article “teasers” and a site map on your first page. The site map, of course, makes it easier for people to get around your website (and makes the job easier for search engine spiders, too), which they’ll thank you for by coming back to visit often. And the article “teasers” on the first page encourages people to click through and read more — again, making you a darling of both your visitors and search engines, which will only increase your visibility and therefore your targeted traffic.

With these four easy steps, it should be easy to get people to come to your site — and stay. This will not only get you more page views, but it will also get you more targeted traffic, which in turn is only good for your business.
