7 Types of content that can bring loads of traffic to your site

Conducts interviews – If you can set an interview with an authority figure in your space, you’ll be amazed how much traffic and authority it can provide.

It is all about creating content that can be accessed, consumed, and shared across many different forms of digital media and to the widest audience as possible.
