7 Tips to increase Blog Traffic
So you have been busy building up your blog and looking for new tips and tactics to get more traffic to your site.
Here are 10 great tips to increase the traffic going to your blog:
1. Content
First up, you need to make sure your blog has sufficient content. If you blog about a particular topic you need to make sure you are fully covering that topic so your readers are satisfied by the information your site provides.
If you have visitors coming to your site, but you are missing lots of details about a particular subject you will look amateur and your visitors will go elsewhere.
2. Submit your site to Blog Search Engines and Ping Services
The best would be Google Blog Search, but there are numerous blogging search engines out there. Submit your site to as many as possible as every new visitors is valuable to you.
3. Guest Blogging
Contact other blog owners in your space and see if they will allow you to be a guest blogger on their site. In your article point a couple links back to your site so readers can find more information about you if they wish.
If you are also looking to grow content on your own site, consider allowing guest bloggers onto your blog to help you build new posts and articles.
4. Comment on other Blogs
Comment on other blogs within your niche and leave your URL in the blog comment URL field. If you do this enough you will get a good amount of targeted traffic flowing through to your site.
5. New Content Frequency
If you are serious about blogging you need new content going on your blog daily. You could exclude weekends and take a break there, but during the week and business hours you need new quality content being posted frequently. I’d say at least 2 articles per week day minimum to get any sort of growth from your blog.
6. Write strong, blog orientated articles
Your site may consist of several short and medium length articles. Make sure you write some long, descriptive articles about the main topics in your space. This will help the search engines find you when people are looking for general information on your subject matter. It should also reduce your bounce rate if you have ‘tutorial’ type articles on your site.
7. Incorporate Social Media
There is a lot of traffic to be had from social media sites. For any blog owner – using social media marketing is an important aspect of traffic generation.
