Here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the best plug ins to boost your website traffic, all of which are available on our resources page completely free:
- Target Visitors: make your website visitors feel special by giving them a personalized greeting when they enter your site using this plug in. It allows you to create different welcome messages for different visitors, depending on which search engine they have come from. This increases your reader loyalty and makes your posts look more relevant. It also helps create external links, free publicity and allows you to invite them to subscribe. For example, you could say, “like this post, follow my blog!” adding your RSS URL on the end. Or you can ask them to Digg, StumbleUpon or tell their Facebook friends about you.
- Search Meter: if you have a search box on your WordPress website, this plug in records all the words your visitors are looking for. This is great because you can then provide the content people want to see, fill any gaps that might be missing and in turn bring your readers back for more.
- YARPP (Yet Another Related Posts Plug In): if you want to create a loyal set of visitors who keep coming back for more you need to make it easy for them to navigate through your great content. This plug in places links at the end of each post to other relevant links on your website.
- WP Email: this plug in makes it easy for visitors to recommend your posts to their friends. It adds a link at the end of each post that says, “Email this Page”, which they simply click and send your post to all of their mates.
- StatPress: if you want to drive more traffic to your site, you need to understand what brings the visitors you already have and what they particularly enjoy. Then you can focus on getting more of the same quality traffic. This plug in allows you to collect valuable information about your visitors, which search keywords they use, how they arrive at your site and how spiders search your site. You can also see visitor activity and see which posts they liked best and what they searched for.
- Sociable: WordPress blog success depends on publicity. Tapping into the millions of people who use social bookmarking sites is a free way to get the word out about your site. Within a very short space of time your traffic can literally snowball, as friends recommend you to their network of friends, and so on. This plug in makes it easy, by adding links to up to 99 different social sites at the end of each post, page and RSS feed.
- ShareThis: another great social networking plug in that does the same job as Sociable, but also allows you to track where, how and when your pages are being shared on the internet. Then you can focus on which sites are working best for you.
- WP Comment Auto Responder: every time a visitor leaves a comment on your website they will be emailed to let them know the comment has been posted. This is a great opportunity to send them a personalized message of thanks and encourage them to keep coming back.
- TweetThis: this plug in allows you to automatically tweet every new post you add to your website. This saves you loads of time so that you don’t have to copy the long URL of your post, shorten it, and then tweet from your account. It also puts a link to every post saying, “Tweet this Post” making it easy for your visitors to give you extra free publicity on their Twitter accounts.
- Subscribe to Comments: this allows your visitors to sign up for email notification every time someone replies to their comments. This is great for increasing interactivity on your WordPress site and encourages people to keep coming back to join in the debate. Very simple, very effective.
- LinkToThisPage: this plug in makes it easy for other websites to link to yours. This is great for search engine ranking because the number of external links you have can push you up the search engine results page, as well as publicizing your content. Another way to use this plug in is to find a website that has relevant content but is not in direct competition with yours, and mutually publicize each other.
