Increasing traffic to your blog is a quick and easiest method of improving results with you sales and prospecting. Don’t overlook this very inexpensive traffic generation strategy as you develop your traffic formula.
First of all, I need to ask – Is your blog collecting dust and not getting enough traffic?
It is a common problem for bloggers, and site owners. Many people have great blogs, but getting visitors seems to be a major problem. Obviously, if you take the time to setup a blog, you want to get traffic (or increase traffic).
Increasing traffic to your blog is actually easier than it may seem as long as you understand how to do it. In this post, I will share 7 specific methods of quickly increasing traffic. These are guaranteed methods to draw more visitors to your blog.
Tip #1: Sign up for pinging services
It may seems pretty obvious, but most bloggers, even those who are more experienced, do not sign up for pinging services. If you are new new to blogging and don’t know what pinging means – pinging basically means that when your blog is updated, a “ping” is sent out by the service to let pinging sites know that your blog has been updated. People who are visiting sites with pinging services will then see your blog flash across the side of the screen as “newly updated”.
Pinging services include Yahoo’s blo.gs, weblogs.com, Google Blog search, and ZingFast.
Tip #2: Sign up for Technorati
If you go to technorati.com, you’ll see an option on the left side of the screen to “Claim Your Blog”. Doing so allows you to get updated link counts, add your photo or branding to Technorati, and see your Technorati link.
Having your blog claimed on Technorati helps to increase traffic because the millions of people who go to that site will have a chance to see your blog on there.
Tip #3: Sign up for FeedBurner, a RSS service
What FeedBurner basically does for your blog is it helps you to promote your blog’s content, build your audience and measure your audience. In other words, it helps you increase your blog’s traffic.
Tip #4: Bookmark your blogs at places like del.icio.us
You can set up an account and profile at del.icio.us. Then, using that, you can add links to your blog along with excerpts from your blog. Anytime someone visits your profile on del.icio.us, they will see a link to your blog and excerpts.
There are other social bookmarking sites that you can use in much the same way. The bottom line is, using these social bookmarking sites can help you increase traffic.
Tip #5: Post comments at other blogs
No, this doesn’t mean you should go and spam other blogs with comments that are only there to promote a site. It means that you should visit similar blogs to your own, post legitimate comments and then sign your name (along with a link to your blog). This way, people know you aren’t there just to promote your site—you’re there to post a good piece of feedback and also say where you’re from.
Tip #6: Ask owners of other blogs to post a link to yours
Find other blogs that are similar to yours. If they seem to be decently popular (that is, they have a good amount of comments for each post), you can try to contact the owner of the blog to add a link to your blog if they have a links section.
To make them really want to do this, you can offer to link back to their blog on your blog. People do this reciprocal blog linking all
the time and it does help to increase traffic.
Tip #7: Use keywords in your blog
Like regular web pages, having a good keyword density on a blog is a terrific way of getting search engine spiders to notice your page. (FYI: Search engine spiders are programs from search engines that browse sites and report back their findings to the search engine database, which then lists that site. The more keywords on your site, the more likely it is for a search engine spider to pay a visit)
If your average blog posting is around 200 words, try to use 2-6 keywords per blog post. 2-6 keywords in a blog posting of 200
words is a keyword density of between 1 and 3 percent, a respectable number. Remember that you don’t want to use too many keywords, as that will make your blog look bad. Also be sure that the keywords used are relevant to your blog. Before even making a blog posting, decide what the post will be about and then select a keyword or two to use in your post. Then do it. It’s a surefire way of getting more traffic to your site!
Popular Questions
What are the best ways to increase traffic to your blog?
Publish useful articles that answer specific questions your target audience asks about network marketing. Optimize each post around one primary search phrase, then use related terms naturally in the headings and body. Share new content through email, social media, relevant communities, and partnerships with complementary creators.
How can increasing traffic to your blog attract more network marketing prospects?
Create content that addresses practical problems, such as finding customers, building confidence, or using social media effectively. Include a clear next step, such as downloading a checklist, joining your email list, or contacting you for more information. Track which articles generate visits and leads so you can produce more content around the topics that attract qualified prospects.
Does consistent blogging help with increasing traffic to your blog?
Consistent publishing gives search engines and readers more useful pages to discover. Choose a realistic schedule, such as one detailed article each week, and maintain a list of audience questions to guide future posts. Update older articles with current examples, stronger links, and clearer calls to action instead of relying only on new content.
How can social media support increasing traffic to your blog?
Share a useful excerpt, statistic, or practical tip from each article rather than posting only the headline and link. Adapt the message to each platform and invite discussion around the problem your post solves. Re-share evergreen articles periodically, respond to comments, and use performance data to identify the networks that send engaged visitors.
