8 Simple Tips to Drive Traffic to Your Blog

Do you find it hard to drive traffic to your blog? Are you already getting traffic but you’re tired of the results you’re getting?

If your answer is ”yes”, the tips I’ll be sharing soon with you are going to help you overcome your challenges…

Don’t waste your time hiring SEO experts, to help build your blog (My sincere opinion).

They’ll probably try their best and help you hire some SEO content writers to help raise your blog in the search engines. I’m not trying to say this isn’t good but it takes a lot of time and a ton of your investment.

Why wasting your time on something that will take months or even a year to achieve instead of doing something simple but yet effective.

Know this.

The internet has changed– the search engine is getting wiser– they’re beginning to behave like humans. They feel, touch, and even kiss. Lol! Honestly, don’t expect to write a keyword stuffed article and expect to get a raise from the search engines. Forget it. It just won’t work!

Time has gone when people write keyword stuffed articles to promote their websites. Google now only recognizes blogs that churn out quality content at all times.

I’ll be sharing with you some tips I believe you know about–these tips are effective and I assure you that if you apply them, Google will bow before you.

The truth is that though these tips work, but you’ll also need a bit of hard work to make it happen. Time has gone when you just sit down in your balcony–turn on an SEO switch the search engines rewards you.

It won’t work this time. And if you’re already doing it, please stop because you’ll be making Google’s Police agent to come after you ( Google Panda).

Do you understand what I just said, are you flowing with me? Ok, Let’s move on. It seems we are on the right track.

Tip 1: Don’t neglect quality– It’s Google most important ranking factor. If you want Google to reward you with a huge online traffic and get you thousands of subscribers, ensure you publish quality content.

Craft out amazing content that will not only make the search engines give you a good spot, but will also amaze people that you’re not charging money for it.

Tip 2: Write case studies. Take your time to write and research–this is the only way to show people that you know what you know what you’re doing and that you’re a professional who knows the craft better.

Put in your personality. Let people feel your voice. Use your words to paint who you are, where you come from and the things you can do. I’ve found out that people love reading conversational articles and at the same time simple to read.

Just a tip: Space your words- At most, 4 to 5 paragraphs is okay!

Tip 3: Start distributing your articles.
What most Affiliate marketers and in fact online entrepreneur do is to hire an Ezine writer who will churn out tons of content and then distribute to article directories and then you wait for that big payday wondering when those millions will start rolling in

If you do this or you’re already doing it, please stop. It will kill your business and in fact, it’s a complete waste of time.

Article syndication is the key you’ve been waiting for to drive massive online traffic to your blog. Why churn out 15 to 20 articles to distribute in article directories instead of spending out time to craft out one exceptional piece of article and then syndicate for online traffic?

I know you’re getting confused, are you? If you are, don’t be. I’ll be explaining step by step what I mean and I’ll be giving you life examples to help you understand better.

Now–you may ask, How can I syndicate my article? Simple and straightforward.

Tip 4: One of the best and In fact the first syndication process is to publish a quality article on Ezine.com ( only, my opinion).

Tip 5: Take out time to craft out exceptional and clickable headline that will make readers have a”A-ha” moment.

Tip 6: While doing this, post the content on your blog and then share with your networks. Share it with your friends on Twitter and Facebook. If content is business oriented, you can also post on Linkedln.

Tip 7: Join blogging communities, forums, and top social networks to increase your chances of getting traffic to your articles.

• Develop a close relationship with top bloggers in your niche.
• Craft out and send a quality guest post like I’m doing here to top blogs in your niche.
• Keep writing and sending your articles as guest posts. Guest blogging is a way of building quality backlinks to your blog pages…

Tip 8: Try using Facebook and Twitter ads…

Huh!
Sorry for the long drawn out post. But I believe you are learning something from what I just shared with you. All I want from you is to start putting them to work today.

The best way to skyrocket your traffic is to take action. No one is going to build your business– you’re responsible for your blog’s failure or success; therefore, encourage yourself and put on your garment of hard work today!

Content is king....Quality content is important to get ranked on google

yeah agreed, we must maintain a quality in the post and social media promotion is also an important way to drive good traffic.

There is no questions about this. Content is the most important in a blog's success. Without good content, even if you manage to get visitors to land on your blog, you won't be able to retain them as a regular reader. I always strive to produce good content on my blog. But lately, with the growing of a couple more blogs in my network, I began to feel the need to outsource some of my writing jobs. Hard to find time to write for all my blogs. Wonder if anyone want to write for me? :)

I have been adding quality content (mine and my guest bloggers) since my site went online in May, but I am not getting the traffic that I want. How effective are the Facebook ads. In other words, are they worth the money? Thanks!
ZK October 29, 2012 - 2:11 pm
If you customize the ads based on your audience, you should get traffic
Jasmine October 30, 2012 - 3:43 am
These are definitely great traffic tips. Basically, write good content, promote it, socialize with fellow bloggers and advertise on Google or Facebook.

I definitely agree with this sentence "Don’t neglect quality" because content is still the king and it is what your audience and readers want. Give them information that are fresh, unique, interesting and what they really like to know about.

Getting traffic to that blog can be an even more challenging thing. Without traffic to your blog no one gets the opportunity to read what you've written.
Swet Nath @ content optimization services November 1, 2012 - 8:38 am
Nice post yes it is true that content is king and readers are the queen. All the above points are nice and informative but i would like to add some more like Submission of your Blog to Search Engines, Using links and trackback give advantage to your blog. Last but not least don't forget to put image it will give your blog a great advantage.

First of all i don't think that without hiring a quality content writer we can promote our blog. I can writer good articles but i am not professional in this field and thats why i don't writer for ezine because without expertise in content writing i don't think anyone can writer good articles for blog. Second thing i want to ask is about "Twitter ads". I heard about facebook ads and i know about it but to be honest i never heard about twitter ads, can you please writer a special post on this topic pleas?.
