5 Slightly Unusual SEO Tips to Increase Traffic

Social Signals

Social signal means the references that your pages get through Google+1s, or Facebook Likes and Shares, or featuring in a Tweet. These increase your backlinks and definitely reach a wider user base. Apart from asking your readers to share, you can go to ping.fm or contact SYNDD. SYNDD promotes blog content with social signals.

Reverse Engineer Competition

The world is ruthless because there is virtually no walk of life that does not have a competition. So you must imbibe this spirit and make use of backlink Watch to put yourself ahead of the rest. For a certain keyword, you can use backlink Watch to find out which pages or websites rank highest. After that you can use backlink analysis tools to search all those pages that backlink to your toughest competitors. Now you can try and obtain backlinks of your website from them. A neat trick, but it requires a lot of patience and be ready to hit blind lanes.

Use Less Ads

This tip is devised on the belief that the fewer ads you put on your website, the fiercer the competition among marketer gets. This will increase your cost per click. But if you use a lot of ads, then a number of low-bidding advertisers will fill your website.

Add another Ad as Image Only Ad

You cannot add an image beside an already existing ad, but you can add another Image Only Ad with it. This will boost your Click Through Rate.

YouTube

When you search for something, often on you see the top four or five videos at first. The theory is, if you have related video content on your website and it happens to rank among the top four slots of the entire search results, your video, and thus your pages, will automatically be shown at the top of the results even if you don’t have a first page rank. Google doesn’t index video but once your video is ranked, it will rope in users.

Although nothing works overnight, using these SEO tips you will be able to harness a greater fraction of internet users.
