Many people out there said that "content is king" when it comes to web traffic generation. Even though, IMHO, content is not the only king, I tend to agree with them. If done properly, content can attract free, long term, targeted traffic to your website.
Here're three ways on how content can attract free, long term, targeted traffic to your website:
1. Content attracts free search engine traffic
It has been well-known that the search engines love content. The more content you have in your website, the more keywords you can rank for, and thus the more traffic you can get from the search engines.
However, not every content can do well in the search engines. The search engines have sets of rules (also known as algorithms) to rank websites in their indexes and some of these rules go beyond content (off-page factors). You need to "optimize your site" to meet these rules if you want to rank well in the search engines.
The problem, though, is that there are differing opinions about these rules and it seems that no one can give exact answers about them. Also, these rules often change, which makes them quite difficult to be followed.
That's why I usually only do little optimization, sometimes as little as putting one keyword in the title tag and getting links. I stopped paying attention to the details because they wasted my time more then they gave me results.
2. Content attracts links from other websites
There are two benefits of having incoming links pointing to your site. First, you can get direct traffic from people who click through the links. And second, incoming links can increase your search engine ranking. In general, the search engines count incoming links as votes to your website.
Now how can content attract links to your website? Well, there are various scenarios on how content can attract links to your websites. But since I only have limited space and time here, let me just tell you the two popular scenarios.
First, you can write articles with link in your resource box and submit them to article directories and relevant websites that accept article submission. Many web publishers out there have a "content deficit" problem, and they're hungry for your content. You can get your links spread out fast around the Internet by using this method.
Second, if your website contains "linkworthy" content, then other webmasters might voluntarily link to your content or website. However, this is a passive method, and you may not want to rely on this method and wait for someone to link to you.
3. Content attracts viral traffic
Viral marketing works by encouraging other people to transmit your marketing message to the others. If done properly, it can spread your marketing message around the Internet just like a contagious virus spreads around a society.
There are various motivations that can encourage other people to spread your marketing message. One of them is the "desire to obtain material possession." You've probably seen the tactic of giving people incentive to spread a marketing message.
However, not all people are moved by the "desire to obtain material possession." Many people are moved by mere excitement or other non-selfish motivations.
This is where content can attract viral traffic. If your content (that is part of your website or contains link to your website), is extremely useful, informative, or just downright funny as hell that people will say "Wow!" when they see it, then people might spread or tell others about your content.
You can also try to increase the viral effect of your content by making it easy for people to spread or tell others about your content, for example by using a tell-a-friend script.
