What is the most efficient technique to increase traffic on your website organically?
My website was developed using different frameworks such as PHP, Python, ROR, CORE PHP, CAKE PHP, etc. I am looking to increase the traffic on my website organically. I am hoping that you all could provide suggestions on the best way to engage my website's audience organically. I have already tried using off-page SEO tactics but it is taking a long time to make a difference in traffic.

Use this NINJA technique:
1. Build good easy to navigate website like https://omegapediatrics.com.
2. Include a blog with 15 or so blog posts that range from 500 to 2500 words depending on lots of well tagged and annotated pictures with alt tags and compressed for quick loading on slower internet like mobile.
3. Ensure it is mobile optimized.
4. Include short videos on some of your posts so that people will spend time there watching it instead of reading. That captures some who would have bounced. You can create the videos from this great supplier here: https://www.fiverr.com/nikki_nln/make-you-a-business-advertisement-video
5. Spend some money on targeted Google or Bing ads to bring in the first set of customers and ensure that they leave you reviews. You could even pay them or give them gifts in the shop when they use their phones to leave reviews for you.
6. Stop spending and just start work on your Google My Business listing. That is it.
7. Of course, you have already listed in the top 300 directories. I can show you how to do that in an authentic low-cost way with all your business descriptions and images.
Congratulations. In 3 to 6 months you will be ranking high. If you are able to get backlinks from reputable local sites like the Chamber of Commerce in your city, that can shorten the time to 1-2 months.
Contact me if you would like elaboration further on this. It is fun to do but you must know what you are doing. A lot of agencies are run by young people who are dishonest and have low moral standards so they lie and cheat to win some money instead of giving the customer what they really want.
Good luck!

Do SEO: The best traffic you can get is from search engines i.e. the organic traffic. To achieve this you need to improve your SEO.
Use Social Media: You often hear about this one. But this is more efficient than organic. Open accounts on every social network and share your new posts as you publish them.
Guest Post: Write articles for other websites. In return, they will allow you to set some backlinks (generally 1–2 per article). This not only improves your SEO but also drives a lot of traffic to your website (a condition that the website you are writing forgets tons of traffic).
Quality Content: Write unique and quality articles. Also, the quantity i.e. amount of keywords should be greater than 1900+ words if you want to rank #1 on Google Search Results.

The suggestion of offering a free tool (really, a utility such as can be found in great numbers on the app stores) should have a nice effect on site stickiness. One area, which you have already done to your own site, is making sure it's SSL secured (i.e. "https"); visitors will be turned off by seeing a site marked "not secure".
Many commentators list "great content" but that alone is not enough. You want your content to "edify" readers of course, but more importantly, you want content that truly speaks to the pain points of customers. For our customers, it's driving consumers into retail stores; so we try to pinpoint our content at finding solutions to that one core problem.

Hi Divya,
I agree with the previous responses that creating quality content and quality backlinks are the must if you are aiming for a strong online presence.
The problem is everyone on the web is competing and fighting for the attention of viewers today. Your content needs to be better than the content of your competitors (more informative, more engaging, better optimized in terms of SEO). Beyond that, you need to spread the word about each piece of your content (e.g. through social and question-answer sites like Quora) to attract initial readers. Otherwise, even a very good content may stay unnoticed.
At the same time, some types of content are more effective in attracting traffic. For example, infographics are visually appealing which helps grab the attention of readers and, besides, they provide more opportunities for building backlinks.
Another good option is adding a free tool to your website. A nice example is Link Explorer, a free backlink tool from Moz, which generates lots of traffic. Building such complex tools costs a lot but you may offer something simpler. People like various calculators, generators, converters, etc., which are much easier to create. We experimented with adding a name generator to our site and it worked well for us. The key point is that you need to come up with a tool useful for your site visitors and relevant to your business niche.
Hope this helps.

Write Viral Content:
Do your heartfelt articles fail to connect soulfully with readers? I developed a habitual loser-feeling when my passion for writing was struggling to find engaging eyes. Why? I did not know. I did everything:
-Gave hours and days to create a piece
-Fulfilled the article’s demand for sufficient time and fulsome dedication
But the result?
It did not grab my readers’ attention. Needless to mention, it never fell under the category of viral content.
Ahh… pains like a dagger in the heart. And the dreaded fear evolves, ‘Am I really capable of living my dream life?’
Loosen up mate if you ever come across this fear. This piece must encourage your typing fingers to slap any thought of quitting. And most importantly, it will direct you to produce the viral content long for.

You must have heard a lot of people talk about writing quality content and your organic traffic will increase!
But the truth is that they are both right and wrong.
With the way the internet is going, there is a high possibility that most of your competitors are also publishing high-quality content.
So how do you outrank them on Google since you both have quality content?
The short answer is to build quality backlinks.
Quality Backlinks + Quality Content = Increase in Organic Traffic and Rankings

Hi Divya,
Since your website is building with coding, technical SEO (on-page) will help in ranking it high on Google, in return, it will drive more visits to your pages.
Optimize your pages for all the desired keywords (do not stuff it with keywords ) but in a moderate way keeping the readability good.
Also optimize all headers, images, add more relevant content with keywords. Try to optimize one page for one or two focus keywords and not more than that.
Add quick links at the footer, reduce the page size (try reducing high-res heavy images or videos). By doing so, your page will have a chance of ranking high. Also, work on a proper sitemap (XML) and add it to the code, this would help Google bots to index your new pages faster.

20 backlinks including classifieds, bookmarks, directory submission (most important), image sharing all these are on a daily bases like 5 days a week. Now, the main thing which will boost your DA PA of the website and will improve rankings and leads to great traffic which is article submission.
Write a daily article related to your e-commerce niche and submit them to websites that accept third-party article submissions.

If you want to traffic there is only one and most effective way is your content, if you don't have the best content on your then every SEO tactics, paid promotions and all is useless. No matter how much effort you put on enhancing your frameworks but if your website doesn't have a fancy content that will never attract to much traffic.
