How does one build a website with lots of views ?

[Kevin]

I'm typing this on my phone so I can only give a quick answer here. There are 3 things to do:

1. Structure your website. Your home page is not a useful landing page for visitors. There's no content immediately available to explore. At least get your most recent blog post on the home page. Also, structure your blog according to the 'four pillars' principle. Here you do some keyword research using Google Keyword Tool. Go to that tool, type in Trance Music and check the box that says Show only related terms. Select 4 keywords that come up that represent different aspects of trance your knowledge would write about. These will be your blog post categories. Continue to write articles within these categories. Doing this will tell google about the focus of your blog and will rank you for 'trance music' plus the 4 category keywords.

2. Syndicate and social. Set up some free accounts at Tumblr, posterous, friend feed, live journal, blog.com and Wordpress.com. Use trance music or similar as the login name and website name (if available). Use your own name otherwise. When ever you create a post on your blog, take a 200 -400 word snippet from that article and create a post with it on all these websites together with a 'read more ...' Link back to the original article on your blog. Also post a link on your Twitter account, Facebook fan page and Google plus page. All this will give your original article some extra juice. (If you are using Wordpress, I have developed a plugin that will do this syndication automatically for you. Just contact me. It's free.)

3. Write quality articles regularly - 2 or 3 times per week- for 2 to 3 months. Always include a related image and/or perhaps a YouTube video in the article.

Do this and the visitors will come!
