Getting recurrent traffic to your subscription website can be a daunting task. Forums are a convenient way to gradually pull back the desired traffic. However, forums tend to be time consuming and the time you will spend doing posts may not necessarily translate to the number of visits you anticipate. Having taken this into account, one must come up with a more appropriate means of handling the forums without consuming too much time. One way of doing this is using Google alerts in conjunction with the forums. Google alerts checks for specific keywords that have been indexed by Google and provide you with this list to use in your forums.
The Google alerts service is a marvelous invention that looks out for keywords that you could use for your forum post that will most likely be picked up by any search engine. This service saves you the inconvenience of having to search the internet on a daily basis for keywords that carry some weight in search engine ranking. As such any time the Google alert service prompts you with keywords to use, you just go ahead and respond to that post without wasting any time researching for material to post on.
Google alerts, when used in combination with forums, allows you to give an immediate response that will yield swift answers and comments. This gives you the opportunity to receive suggestions on how to improve your membership website or respond to burning issues that members to your websites keep asking. Once you set up an alert on Google alerts with the keywords you want to be responding to, you just sit back and wait for suggestions as to the forum posts you need to respond to anytime someone mentions your keyword.
The Google alerts service is so flexible to the extent that it allows you to configure it to be alerting you once in 24 hours or better still to give an immediate alert. Another important feature is that the service indexes all the alerts such that you just have to choose which one you want to respond to and the specific website or page the post is to be found. Without this, you would waste a lot of time trying to figure out the most suitable post to give a response.
As mentioned earlier, these features make the Google alert service very suitable for carrying out particular tasks such as getting suggestions on improvements you can carry out on your website or answer queries that any member or non-member might have. You could also seize the opportunity to up-sell or cross-sell some of your new products while in the process of responding to the alerts.
All in all, the combination of Google alerts and your forums is a sure formula for success. Just make sure you set the alerts correctly to pick alerts on the niches you deal in, the name of your website or any keywords for that matter that you have an interest in and you can be sure to be notified anytime the keywords are mentioned, thus giving you an opportunity to respond.
