The importance of targeted traffic
We all know that traffic is important in the lifeblood of any website. But not all traffic is created equal.
Many people that may come to your site are just surfers browsing the Internet with no apparent aim or purpose. Many are just killing time.
What you want is traffic that is targeted and visitors that are ready to take action.
If your website is selling a product or has some sort of advertisement you want people who were ready to purchase.
If your website has Google AdSense on it and you want visitors who are ready to click on the ads.
How to attract motivated people
One of the best ways to find people that are really motivated to take some sort of action is to use trigger keywords in your post and especially in your title.
Trigger keywords are usually action words or words that represent some sort of action. Using these words can attract motivated people.
These people are not surfing the Internet aimlessly but rather have a specific purpose and a specific need.
It’s your job to attract these people using trigger keywords and give them what they want.
Trigger keyword examples
buy
sell
learn
remedy
cheap
low
make
discount
find
stop
quit
fast
care
tips
get rid
how to
Anyone using one of these key words in a search is a person that is usually motivated and ready to take action.
If someone uses the word buy or cheap or discount in a search on Google then you know that person is most likely looking to purchase something. It is very likely this person is ready to spend some money.
If a person uses a word like remedy or stop or quit or care or get rid of any search on google then you know that person has some sort of problem or ailment that they are looking to take care of. This person has this a specific need.
These are the kinds of visitors you want your website. These people are motivated and willing to take action.
So when you’re writing content for your blog or website keep this in mind.
But how do I get these people to my site?
One of the best ways to get these people to your site is to rank for the search terms they are looking for.
If these people use trigger words in their searches then make sure you use them in your titles and in your content.
If you do this correctly you can rank for these search terms and get traffic from very motivated people.
The power of how to
One of my favorite trigger key words is “how to”.
People are always searching for “how to (fill in the blank)” and so I try to use this a lot in my blog posts.
In fact did you notice the title of this particular post? It begins with how to…
