Every business owner wants to drive more website visitors. Now, let’s think of the ways in which your target audience finds your site.

  • You can choose to pay for paid ads, but that can be expensive for businesses on a shoestring budget. Once you’ve exceeded your budget probably you’ll stop placing paid ads, and the traffic would also stop coming.
  • You may buy an email list and send your company newsletter in a blast, and hope for people to click on the emails – inviting people to visit your site. But what if they don’t click-through the mail?
