Boosting Traffic to Your Blog





Most of the bloggers get disappointed to find that their blogs are not attracting as much traffic as they want. Whatever the nature or type of a blog, the blogger wants a wider readership. But there are millions of blogs in this world. So who reads whom? At the same time there are millions more who are not bloggers and many of them may be good readers. One browses internet for many things and he or she may be benefited by reading a blog in the process of surfing internet. So there are two things in this matter, one who wants to find and the other who wants to reach.

A blogger, therefore, must place him prominently in the area of readers’ viewing field. But this is easier said than done. One has the ingenuity and the necessary home work to turn the blog attractive and beneficial to the taste of the viewer. I hope the following marketing agencies may be to some extent helpful to build traffic to intelligent bloggers.

They will rightly tell you that you must create your blogs with quality first. As per their advise “What are your goals as you begin your blog? What is your main keyword and where do you want to take your site? If you had 1,000 people every day coming to see what you had written would your words be good enough to honor then? Please don't build it just to throw an Adsense ad in front of them. That will not take you where you want to go. You want quality web site blog traffic. Give them quality content, learn to use the available tools to tell them about it and they will come.”

So you may vis

They recommend three simple ways to build your traffic.

So read it as they say:


Creating a blog is simple with either WordPress or Blogger.
But how to you get traffic to your blog?

After all, what's the use of having a blog if nobody comes by to visit?

You must have had a goal for your blog when you created it

and whether it's to promote yourself, make money promoting products,

to promote a cause, or something else, the more traffic your

blog gets the better, right? Here are three proven methods

to increase blog traffic.

1. Post New Content Regularly.

A common mistake many new bloggers make is not
posting on a regular basis, especially at the beginning.

You have to give people a reason to visit your new blog.

It's best to post daily for the first month and then a few times

per week after that.

You should post on a regular basis so your visitors and search engines

may know to expect new content added to your

blog on a regular basis. As long as your posts are informative or enter

taining, you'll attract more visitors over time. And you want the search engin

es to come regularly to index your blog posts which in turn will attract even

more visitors.

2. Make Comments to Other Blogs

Another way to increase blog traffic is to m

ake comments on other blogs. The best way is

to find high PR links from blogs on the same

topic. You can use your favorite search engin

e or Google's BlogSearch tool. You shouldn't have much problem findi

ng several blogs on similar topics.

Take some time to read several posts on the blog

to get a feel for it. Then make a constructive
comment to one of the posts. Don't just comment with some
rubbish, contribute to the conversation. If your comment
add value, people will be more likely to want to visit your blog.
Leave your name and a link to your blog to allow
readers and easy way to click over to your blog.

3. RSS

RSS is really simple syndication and most blogs
come with it these days. I use aweber's autoresponders
service which comes with the capability to send an email
notification to a list every time you make a new blog post.
This is helpful because not every
reader who reads your blog will remember to come back
frequently. A friendly email reminder increases repeat visits to your blog,
which is more traffic.

RSS works very similar to an opt-in list.
You just put a simple form on your blog and allow
visitors to provide their name and an email address.
Now they'll be notified every time a new post
is made to your blog. It's very simple to do
and is a great way to increase blog traffic. Visit
CyberCa$hology.com to see an example.
There are many more ways
to drive traffic to blogs and I'll cover those
in future articles.

Blog Project: 30 Traffic Generation Tips

1. Sridhar Katakam
Keep track of blogs and leave comments on them. A good way to keep the conversation going is to install a MyBlogLog widget and visit the blog of people visiting your site.

2. Ian Delaney
Nothing creates long-term traffic more than value. Consider writing posts with resources or explaining how things work. Useful things get linked to and they get onto del.icio.us, which is far better long-term than a digg front page.

3. Scott Townsend
Inform search engines and aggregators like Technorati (using the ping functionality) when your blog is updated, this should ensure maximum traffic coming from those sources. (check the List of Ping Services)

4. Kyle
Simplify. Pay attention to complex issues in your field of work. It may be a big long publication that is hard to wade through or a concept that is hard to grasp. Reference it and make a shorter “for dummies” version with your own lessons learned and relevant tips. When doing this, I have been surprised to find that the simplified post will appear before the more complex version in search results. Perhaps this is why it results in increased traffic; people looking for more help or clarification on the subject will land on your blog.

5. Grant Gerver
Try to be polemic. I write obsessively about all-things political from the left-wing perspective in the form of humorous, sarcastic one-liners.

6. Daniel
A simple tip that will probably boost your page views: install a translator plugin. I decided to use a paid plugin for this, but if I am not wrong there are some free ones as well. The translation is not very good, as you can imagine, but it helps to attract readers that are not fluent in English.

7. Rory
Submit articles to blog carnivals (http://blogcarnival.com) that are related to your niche. Your article almost always gets posted, and it must generate a handful of visitors, at least.

8. Ramen Junkie
Newsgroups. I always see a spike when I post a review to a newsgroup.

9. Eric Atkins
Create a new design for your website. Not only will it be more attractive to your regular readers, but you can submit it to some CSS gallery showcase sites that feature great designs. This will give you exposure on those sites while generating a lot of traffic and backlinks from those types of sites.

10. Megan Taylor
Participate in conversations on related blogs. Start conversations on your own blog. Don’t just post about a story and leave it at that, engage your audience, ask questions and call to action.

11. Guido
Comment on blogs, write useful content and make good friends on forums.

12. Brian Auer
You must be active to generate traffic. I post comments on other blogs that are related to mine, and I post my site link in my signature at the forums. Spread the word about your blog and it will certainly attract readers.

13. Shankar Ganesh
Just browse around MyBlogLog.com and you will surely get visitors to your blog. Also try to join as many communities as possible that are related to your topic.

14. Andrew Timberlake
A great tip for generating traffic is off-line by including your url in all your off-line liturature from business cards, letterheads, pamphlets, adverts through in-store signage if applicable. I even have our website on my vehicle.

15. Cory OBrien
Read lots of other blogs. Leave trackbacks. Make sure your blog is optimized for search engines. Leverage social bookmarking sites like digg (both for new ideas and for traffic).

16. Jester
Leave comments on other blogs. If you’re already reading them, it takes
just a couple of seconds to leave a message agreeing or disagreeing
with the author, you get to leave a link to your site, and you will almost
ALWAYS get traffic from your comments.

17. Goerge Manty
Post 3-5 times a day. Use ping services like pingomatic or set up wordpress to ping some of the ping services. Engage your readers. Put up polls, ask them questions, give them quizes, free tools, etc. Make them want to come back and tell their friends about you.

18. Engtech
Community. It’s one word but it is the most important one when it comes to blogging. The only “blog metric” that makes sense is the vibrant community of readers it has. Building a community around your blog will bring you increased traffic, but how do you start? The boilerplate response to building traffic is always “SEO, social networking sites, and commenting on blogs” but it can be simplified to “be part of a community”. The easiest way to seed your blog is with an already existing community. But the only way to do that is to be part of the community yourself.

19. Chris
Squidoo Lenses are a good way to generate traffic. By using a lense,
you can generate your own custom “community” of webpages, including some
of the more popular pages in your “neighborhood.” Including your own
webpage in such a list is a good way of generating traffic.

20. Splork
I’ve had good success writing articles and submitting them to EzineArticles. Articles that have been written from well-researched keyword phrases and accepted by EzineArticles tend to rank very high in Google for that search term. Placing anchor text in the footer of those articles so the reader can visit my relevant website has always increased my site traffic.

21. Jen Gordon
I came upon some unexpected traffic when my blog popped up on some css design portals like www.cssmania.com and www.webcreme.com. If you can put some time into the concept behind and design for your blog, I’d recommend submitting your site to a design portal not only for
additional traffic but to build an additional community around your site.

22. Kat
I’ve recently gotten involved with several “MySpace-like” community sites that focus on my target audience. I share my thoughts in their forums, post intros to my real blog on their system blog and I’ve even created a group for my specific niche. It’s been very, very successful for me.

23. Inspirationbit
Well, obviously everyone knows that social bookmarking sites like Digg, del.icio.us, etc. bring lots of traffic. But I’m now submitting some of my articles to blogg-buzz.com (a digg like site for bloggers), and I always get not a bad traffic from there.

24. Mark Alves
Participate in Yahoo Answers and LinkedIn Answers where you can demonstrate your expertise, get associated with relevant keywords and put your URL out there.

25. Tillerman
Be the first to write a post about the ‘Top Ten Blogs’ in your niche. The post will rank highly in any general search for blogs in your niche and other bloggers in your niche write about the post and link to it.

26. Nick
Participating in forums is a great way to get loyal readers. Either link baiting people in your signature or posting great advice and tips will give you high quality traffic, which will result in return visitors.

27. Brandon Wood
A simple trick I’ve used to increase traffic to my blog is participate in group writing projects. In fact, that’s what I’m doing right now.

28. Alan Thomas
Don’t forget your archives. I just posted a roundup of all interviews I did over the past seven months. One of them generated a new link and a big traffic spike from a group of users that look like they will be loyal readers now.

29. KWiz
Write something controversial. I don’t think it’s good to write something controversial just for the purpose of getting traffic necessarily (especially if it’s only for that purpose and you’re being disingenuous), but it works.

30. Dennis Coughlin
Find the best blogs on your niche and contact the authors. Introduce yourself and send a link of your blog. This might help them to discover your blog, read it and possibly link to it.
