5 WordPress Plugins to Build Traffic to your Website
The Internet has so many websites and pages, how can you build a website and make sure it gets noticed? The trick is using SEO (Search Engine Optimization) effectively so that your site ranks well with the Search Engines and you get connected to the people looking for your services.
People won’t know your site is there unless you tell them, and the best way to build traffic to your website is by making it easy for them to find you in a web search. WordPress has many plugins that use SEO techniques and optimizes your content by helping you choose the right tags to use, how to create killer titles, and to use terms the search engines will latch onto.
All of these plugins are available in our Plugins Directory.

Google XML Sitemaps
By generating a XML sitemap for your pages, the search engines can index your site more effectively, and that will generate more traffic for your site. Every time you create new content or a new post, the XML sitemap will alert the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask, and that helps build traffic to your website.
