Want to boost traffic to your blog? Let’s look at four speedy ways to do it. Every blogger needs traffic; it’s an ongoing challenge, but if you accept the challenge you’ll be amazed at what it will do for your blog.
1. Add Your Blog’s RSS Feed to Directories
Yes this is a simple tip, and no doubt you know it already — but have you done it? I’m constantly amazed at how many bloggers fail to do this. Adding your blog to directories is the simplest way to kickstart a flood of traffic over the months and years to come.
I should add here, that it goes without saying that you’re adding content to your blog regularly. You can’t expect a lot of traffic if you only blog once a week or once a month. When you’re trying to increase visitors to your site, make it a habit to blog at least once a day.
Blogging frequently ensures that your RSS feed is updated and when it’s been added to directories, it’s updated across the web each time you post.
2. Pay for a Blog Review on a Popular Blog in Your Niche
Yes, this costs money, but a review is a great link to have, especially if it’s on a popular blog.
If you can’t afford to pay for review on a popular site, approach bloggers in your niche and make a special deal with them. Many will be prepared to write a review for you at a reasonable rate.
3. Use Article Marketing Effectively: It’s an Ongoing Adventure
Article marketing works, if you work at it. You need to become proficient at writing articles (or you need to pay someone to write them for you).
Commit to writing at least one article a week and posting it to a good directory.
Some article marketers post to dozens or even hundreds of directories, and it’s up to you whether or not you choose to do this.
4. Create (Free) “Baby” Blogs in Your Niche Pointing Back to Your Primary Blog
Your blog needs links, and there’s a way you can provide some of those links yourself. Create some blogs on the free blogging platforms, using your preferred keyword as the title, and point some links back to your primary blog.
A big tip: avoid spam. Creating dozens of spammy bogs pointing to your primary blog is a great way to shoot yourself in the foot. Any new blogs you create must be professional, with unique content, and must be truly valuable to visitors. Create a schedule to update those blogs, and keep them current for a traffic boost each time you update.
(Don’t forget to add these blogs’ feeds to RSS directories…)
As blogging becomes more competitive, it’s more difficult to get traffic. However, it can be done and the rewards are tremendous.
