With that said, here are some tricks on improving traffic to a new content marketing website.
Table of Contents
1. SEO search
Keywords are very crucial in attracting new viewers to any page, however new and underdeveloped it may be. While adding keywords to your content, make sure you don’t stuff them in and deviate from the main idea of the content, but add them systematically in order to drive the content up the search engines while also maintaining its integrity.
Tools such as Moz or SEMrush are useful in conducting good keyword research. What these sites provide you with is a detailed analysis of the keywords used by your competitors, the frequency of the words, how expensive each keyword is, and so on.

4. Social media savvy
During the age of social media turbulence, you do not want to be left behind. Some guidelines while managing social media include; posting content regularly (books, blogs, videos, etc.), engaging with your followers by replying to them, reposting their content, and tagging them whenever and wherever necessary.
One very important thing to remember before posting content on your social media is to include relevant hashtags so that other people can find their desired content easily. Also, constantly update your bio with links to newly released content on your website to generate more traffic. And lastly, engage with people who are looking for answers in relation to your content.
5. Advertisements
If you are feeling like a million dollars, why not pay for online advertisements? Paid ads on social media especially can be very efficient in getting more viewership, and then it’s up to your content to either keep them coming back for more or waste their presence.
Before you end up spending money on these ads, make sure you set a budget separately for these ads. One of the biggest disadvantages of such ads is that users are free to block display ads, and each ad on Google costs between $1 and $2 per click.
One best way to begin would be to start with just one campaign with a few ad groups where you target people with the most crucial keywords you found for your site. Then, track how people reacted to those different keywords. It is highly possible that a few of those keywords were just impressions while a few others generated clicks.
Conclusion

After all, it isn’t a secret that both good quality and quantity generate the best reactions from consumers who are looking for very specific answers to extremely specific questions. Even a little interest generation can go a long way in the long term for your website. Like any escape room, you never stop till you are successful.
