As a digital marketer I can tell you the secret to getting steady traffic to your website is not just about making your website search engine friendly. It's about being a true resource.

Here's some ways to be so compelling visitors keep coming back to your website for more:

Be A Wealth of Information

While having a top-ranking for a keyword phrase may get someone to visit your website once, getting them to come back requires making your website "sticky".

Offer something so amazing they can't resist coming back for more such as:

Write blog posts on pressing issues that your customers really need to know about
Share original insights and tools no one else has in white papers, survey results, and checklists etc
Position yourself as the go-to person for help and answers. Be helpful and available in social media groups, forums, and other online mediums to answer questions
Host webinars and teleseminars with strategies that help people get results. They will respect your expertise and generosity.

Team Up with Big League Players

Your followers will be thrilled to get inside access to leading authorities in your field you can provide elite access to.

For example: having a Google Hangout with a world-renowned expert in an area your target market would be very interested in will make your followers thrilled at the great benefits they have in being associated with you.

Stay Relevant

When you are too scattered, it confuses people.

For example if you are a work-at-home expert and suddenly are offering a teleseminar on "potty training your toddler" it's not a match and may turn off some of your audience.

While your audience may be parents, they came to you for your home business tips, not parenting information. So it's important to stay on topic and establish yourself as an expert in that one area.
