If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

You’ve got a new blog, and you had four visitors yesterday. You’ve been blogging for a whole three weeks - where are the crowds of eager readers?

Patience, patience. Your traffic will come. If you think about it, you should be pleased that you’re not getting thousands of visitors a day. Since you don’t have much content, you don’t want to disappoint the people who arrive. So minimal traffic is fine in the beginning, while you’re a new blogger.

Here’s how to increase your traffic.

1. Focus on content

Write a longish post, of at least 1200 words. New bloggers tend write short posts, and while these are fine, usually short posts are fillers, they’re not “destination” posts so it’s hard to get links from others.

2. Comment on blogs in your niche

Please don’t spam. Add useful information. Long time bloggers will delete your “Nice blog!” spam faster than you can blink.

Create thoughtful comments, and chances are other bloggers will check out your blog, and they may even give you a link or two.

Want more ways to increase your traffic?

At this stage, the above two tips are more than enough. Writing good content with four or more posts a day, and commenting on others’ blogs in a thoughtful way will increase you traffic - and your visitors will have something to read when they arrive, so they may add you to their feed readers.
