| Traffic |
With a lot of hard work and quality content, you can build a popular
blog. But there are millions of websites and blogs on the web, so you need
to stand out of the crowd in order to succeed. Getting traffic is the toughest part in the process of
earning online.
Once you are ready with your blog or site and want to have a passive
income from it, you need to generate traffic.you need regular visitors. Here are a few simple
tips on how to increase traffic to your blog.
The foundation is always producing great content. So to begin with, you have to create something that’s worthwhile and that’s worth people reading. Peoples, ask themselves the question “Why should I spend any time on this site when I already know of dozens of sites out there that provide great content?” And they’re giving you just fraction of a second if they do come to your site. First of all, you have to provide great content so that people will stick around. If you’re just starting out, always interact with other bloggers, I usually recommend that people try to make a name for themselves among other bloggers and other sort of taste makers within their space. It doesn’t have to be the A-listers, but certain people who are maybe rising stars that you can reach out to.
2) Edit your post one more time
How can you improve your title? How can you improve your first paragraph? Small details in your post, especially in the beginning of your post,
can make an enormous difference in its ability to draw social traffic
and links. You can definitely improve your title, first paragraph,
formatting, and grammar within 30 minutes.
3) Update and Write Often
Frequently updating your blog
with useful content is the next step to building your blog's audience.
The content you write is what will keep readers coming back for more.
Make sure you have something meaningful to say to them and say it often
to maintain their interest and keep them loyal.
4) Participate in blog commenting
If you need to increase your traffic then blog commenting is one of the
best ways to do it. You have to participate in blog commenting multiple
times per day if you're looking to increase traffic to your blog. When you are leaving comments, don’t just say “great post”, “I loved
your article”, “you should post more stuff like this” or “thanks for
this post”. These are words of encouragement, but say a little more so
that the other people who comment as well see that you are a person of
great words. Writing a great comment as well can make the other
commentators click through to your blog.
Blog commenting increases blog traffic and also the number of back-links,
so you would want to do more blog commenting to get traffic as well.
You can also reply to people’s comment even if you are not the author of
that blog post. That’s right! Replying to a persons comment can also
help you gain traffic to your blog. You can agree with the comment that
you are replying to and also leave a key point so you can gain a visitor
to your blog.
5) Submit your Blog to Search Engines
Submit your blog to various search engines and directories. In addition to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and MSN, it's worth submitting to lesser known web directories. If your website is listed in as many places as possible, it can boost your rankings in major search engines as well. Online directory submission is a process which includes identification of proper category and filing the website or webpage detail in particular related category and get it approved by directory editor.
6) Participate in forum discussions
Regular forum posting is one of the best way of getting quality and
targeted blog traffic. Forum users always participate in group
discussions on a particular topic and often need help or offering help
to other members of the forum. This where your blog comes in. If you
have a blog post of your blog which will help this forum member then you
can easily share your blog link so you can get this person to your
blog. If your article is good enough and has helped this person then you
may gain this person as a subscriber or a returning visitor. If you haven't joined any forum yet you must join now,don’t be afraid to use forums, they are a very powerful tool to pul in traffic to your blog. If your blog doesn’t have a post which peoples are looking for on a set topic, then what you can do is contact these peoples and tell them that you will be having an upcoming blog post on this topic. This will make them want to look forward to your article or come to your blog in advance so they can subscribe to get your article as soon as you publish it.
7) Get some Back-links
Back-links are links that are directed towards your website. Also knows as Inbound links (IBL's). The number of back-links is an indication of the popularity or importance of that website. Back-links are important for SEO because some search engines, especially Google, will give more credit to websites that have a good number of quality back-links, and consider those websites more relevant than others in their results pages for a search query. Building quality backlinks is extremely important to Search Engine Optimization, and because of their importance, it should be very high on your priority list in your SEO efforts.
8) Share Your Posts on Social Networks:
If you haven’t, register yourself at a Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn do it now. These networks are attracting vast amounts users around the world on internet, and those participate on these sites fit into the “content distributors” list. Fill out more information on these profiles to the fullest possible extent. Start following industry achiever, influencers and connectors. And share your own blog great stuff (posts/content) to make a positive impression about you and chance to go “viral” and earn sharing from others. For bloggers, social media is the largest source of traffic, when SEO is a less consistent driver.
9) Use Images and graphics
Images don't just make your blog look pretty, they also help people find
you in search engine listings. People often use the image search
options offered by Google, Yahoo! and other search engines, and naming
your images with search engine optimization in mind can easily boost
your traffic.
10) Tell people about it.
Word of mouth is the best
marketing tool that you have at your disposal so don't be afraid to brag
about your blog every chance that you get.Get active on social bookmarking sites there are
lots of big and small ones out there to keep you busy. The key here is
to choose just a few and then be truly active on them on a regular
basis. This gives you more credibility on the site and drives more
traffic to your blog.
