Hello Guys, just went through my website’s Google Analytic and found out that over 70% of the traffic are coming from US. But I don’t want that. I want some valid traffic from Australia.
Any tricks to bring Australian traffic back to my site? I actually don’t know much about SEO. Heard that SEO could do the trick but what actually I need to do regards SEO or any other thing?
You need to focus on local listing from AU. You can post different adds about your services on AU site. get local reviews on your website. try to generate back links from AU extension website.
You can do local business listing, classifieds and blog commenting on Australia based sites.
Definitely the local business listing will beneficial in your case. Add business listing on the sites which has a good Alexa ranking mainly.
I have already done with it.
Done with the Business listings. But does blog commenting still exist in this digital marketing world?
Thanks for your advise. Could you please suggest some AU sites where I can do some backlinks?
Please don’t list any such sites.
For one thing, that kind of link-dropping is nothing but Spamming, which we do not tolerate here and will not condone elsewhere.
For another, creating links with the intention of manipulating search ranking is against the TOS of all the major search engines, and is more likely to get your site penalised than help with promoting it.

Yes, that’s kind of true! But I have gone out of options. I’ll try my best to naturally work on it.
Have you followed the advice on International Targeting I linked to in post 2?
Yes, my website is already targeted to AU.
