How to Improve your Blog’s Traffic
Posted 10-11-2009 at 07:52 PM by benmaxime
In this post I will explain how I drive traffic to my site. The list includes 10 ways to boost traffic on your site. I will also show what my blog has achieved in September and what my goals are for October.
How do I drive traffic to my site? 10 tips on how to boost your traffic:
Twitter
Social media is a must these days. As you build up your follower count you gain marketing power. When you have thousands of followers and you tweet something that includes your blog in it, believe me many people will see it and hopefully click on it.
Business Cards
Design a creative business card that includes your blog.
Guest Posts
Guest posts will always stir up your blog. Find people who write content that is similar to yours and ask them if they are interested in writing for you.
Facebook
Through Facebook you can create groups, fan pages and share links.
Search engines
Don’t forget to always work on your SEO so that people searching for what you have to offer can find you.
If you use Wordpress download the “All in One SEO Pack.”
Direct traffic
Word of mouth also helps sometimes, many people after hearing of your blog will check it out.
Commenting on other blogs
Another way to drive traffic to your site is by commenting on other blogs. Most blogs leave you the option of including your URL so if you leave an interesting comment many people may click on your link. I tend to comment a lot on blogs such as: Small Business and Entrepreneurship Blog by Wayne Liew, Success Circuit, teenentrepreneurblog.com, Social Media News and Web Tips – Mashable – The Social Media Guide, Nuwav Publishing - Internet Publishing | Marketing On The Internet, Clinton Skakun — Technology // Business // Entrepreneurship, Create With Nate, Send A Tweet — Twitter for Business & Pleasure.
Exchanging links
Many young bloggers who aren’t pulling in a huge profit are usually willing to exchange links or even ads. If you want to spread your link try contacting other young bloggers.
Youngentrepreneur.com forum
This forum is the place for young entrepreneurs. If you have a question, tip or even want a free website review you can ask here. As long as you include your link in your post or signature people will click on it all the time.
Email list
A great way to get recurring visits is by using an email list. I use Email Marketing and Email List Manager | MailChimp, it’s a great way to collect people’s emails and inform them when something big is happening on your blog.
