Building traffic to your website can be compared to creating a snowball.

Imagine standing at the top of a snow covered hill, picking up a handful of snow and rolling it into a snowball, then putting the snowball on the ground and pushing it down the hill.

The snowball requires a little push at first, maybe a few times to get going but as it moves down the hill it collects snow and begins to grow in size.

The bigger it gets, the faster it moves, picking up speed getting bigger and bigger.

By the time it reaches the bottom of the hill the snowball is so large that it is almost unstoppable.

This snowball effect is a good analogy for Website Traffic Building.

Let me explain.

OK so we’ve slaved over the “hot computer” and created the beautifully crafted, “everyone will love it” website, proudly shown to family and friends and we are now ready to show it to the world and “go live!!”

We upload the website and wait for the people to arrive in droves.

“Build it and they will come” - good title for a film, but when it comes to the Internet

“Build it, do nothing and wait for ever!” is more appropriate.

In other words its as if we have made a snowball and left it at the top of the hill, walked down and waited for the snowball to magically arrive at the bottom as an unstoppable force.

Forget it!

We need to give the little guy a push - a few shoves to get him going. We need roll him along a bit ! Support him and tease down that long journey to the bottom. But when he gets going watch out below!

The same is true with website traffic.

We need to put into place all the different methods and techniques that will start to bring traffic to the website, but most of all create a system so that the traffic will feed of itself until the website becomes an unstoppable traffic guzzling monster!

So lets start at the top……..it begins with a name…….
