Increase Traffic to Your Site With These SEO Tips
There are
so many bloggers who struggle every day to increase blog traffic, few
get success but most of them fail. Blogging is essentially; sharing of personal
thoughts with the community. But your blog and its content is of no value if
there is no one to see it, to comment on it and to share it on social media.
There are
hundreds and thousands of different guides, tips and strategies available on
web on this particular topic, but not all of them are damn perfect. They might
help you understand the basics but you won’t find any perfect guidelines
regarding this topic. According to me everyone have their own way of thinking,
their own style or writing and similarly own style of driving traffic to their
blog. If you would like to go for practical exposure on how to get traffic to
your blog than I would recommend to join SEO Training in Delhi or go
through Free SEO Tutorial.

The tips
I am going to share here is going to work for everyone and for every niche
based website. Whether you are an internet marketer, webmaster or a simple
blogger it really doesn’t matters. Just go ahead and grab my personal strategy.
7 Amazing Ways to Increase Blog Traffic
But be
aware of the services and websites which guarantee you for 10k or even 50k readers’
supply within a week or month. And they actually do it, but then you will
rarely ever see any kind of conversions. The reason is they are not humans;
they are bots who just came to eat your bandwidth and memory. So stay away from
them and always try to implement legit strategies which I am sharing below.
Quality of Your Content
So you
have just written you next blog post and now you must have either scheduled it
or you are just going to publish it. But wait and ask yourself, does it have
the sufficient words, does it look unique, does it have required information
and finally is it written for your readers.
Well
these are the exact points or let’s say the questions which can impact your
website either positively or negatively. So before you publish any more content
make sure to ask these questions each and every time.
Today in
this blogging and SEO era it’s really not important what you like, but it’s
what your visitors want. So your first task must be to scan your analytic
account to find out the top ranking pages with minimum bounce rate, since they
are the exact posts which make your readers happy. Read that post, check out
how you have written it and then simply start posting similar content on your
website. If done properly you will surely see better conversion rate and user
engagement.
Find Hot Topics
You must
have observed that if you try to rank for the topics which are already
published thousands of time requires lots of effort and time. But if you write
an article on some latest event, trend or news then you will rank in the first
page of SERP within few minutes. The reason is, there is no one to complete
with you and you are alone. Now if that topic becomes really hot and popular,
you will still be there on first page since you were the first one who published
it and who shared the information.
This will
in turn help you to boost your blog traffic for short or long interval of time
with very small effort. What you just need is Google alert or topsy to find the
latest buzz around the globe regarding your niche.
Forum Posting
There are
hundreds of forums all around the web. You can register to them and can help
their members get desired information. And in return you can get hundreds of
free direct traffic. Few of them are warriorforum, v7n network, digitalpoint,
webmasterworld. These websites don’t need any introduction. They are of the
most active website with millions of marketers, software developers and
webmasters. You can get answers to all your questions without paying any
premium.
The best
part is, you get do-follow links from them (OnlyWarrior). They are very
reputable and have very active moderators so never try to fool them. You can
register to them for free.
So what’s
the best practice of doing this task?
- Edit
your profile and add unique image.
- Edit
your signature (Links unlocked after having 15 verified posts).
- Try
not to use direct and main keywords as your anchor text. I mean diversify
your anchor text.
- In
order to add image as signature you have to upgrade.
- Move
to most active area on these forums : Example ” Main Internet Marketing
Discussion Forum “
- Read
the posts and also the responses.
- Then
go and reply there with the best suitable answer.
- Always
try to be genuine and don’t spam there.
For the
first few days don’t try to put any links in your reply. Once you have built
good reputation, and then add relevant direct links to your blog. Always try to
bring diversity in your anchor text. This will help you to defend your blog
from Penguin updates.
This
method can surely help you to increase blog traffic fast. Usually I am
able to drive more than 150 to 240 visitors every day using this method.
Commenting To Its Potential
I just
love commenting on someone’s hard work. The best part is, while researching me
usually finds some of best relevant bloggers in my niche. I just subscribe them
and then become their usual reader.
Commenting
is one among the best method of building reputation in your field. I am usual
commenter at, wplift, problogger, copyblogger, monyctl (used to),
basicblogtips, and Hubpages (web 2.0) and mine.
It’s
another way to bring more than 100 to 150 readers every day. All of the above
suggested blogs are full of readers every time. You can get response within
minutes. Take part in conversation and you will be in benefit.
Remember them: Never ever try to add the link in the comment
area. Its will get rejected most probably. Don’t use your keywords as your
name. You can use your blog name if it looks very natural.
Guest Posting
Today
guest blogging is regarded as one of the most vital marketing strategy to build
authority backlinks to your pages and domain. It also helps you to connect with
other bloggers, webmasters and help you to build better community. But
personally I like it and also don’t like. See my reasons below.
Why I don’t like it.
- I am
losing one potential topic.
- I am
not making any money.
- I am
getting not sustainable traffic.
- Readers
are not targeted.
Why I love this strategy.
- I
get good number of subscribers.
- I
build authority links from them.
- I
build the relationship with other webmaster.
I will
also suggest writing articles at hubpages. With both of these web2.0 sites you
can actually make money, get referrals, and also quality backlinks. You can
also rank any article on search engines without performing any SEO, very easily
since their domain authority is really very high.
Many
people also ask, how to increase blog readership. For me personally the
simplest answer is guest blogging. It doesn’t only provide good readers, Pageviews,
helps to increase conversion, but also provide us with dofollow backlinks.
Push Frequent Updates
It’s
always necessary to respond quickly to the need of your readers. Don’t test
their patience. Remember that they won’t lose anything, but you are the only
one to lose everything. Every successful blogger and webmaster knows when and
what to publish. You should always publish contents in which you are expert,
and your readers have interest.
Always to
focus on one topic per article. Try to engage your visitors and let them
explore the information. Always share updated and targeted knowledge.
Simple Steps to Be Successful:
- Make
a time-table. OR
- Limit
your frequency to certain posts in one week or month. ( Example : 5
articles in one week )
- Always
interlink your posts to improve Pageviews and to reduce your bounce rate.
- Add
videos and images for better explanation.
Remember
that these tips won’t affect your traffic directly, but they can help you build
better and happier community. Like this your direct hits will increase.
Use Social Media to Increase Blog Traffic
Don’t
just focus on SEO (search engine optimization). Google’s Anti-Spam head Matt
Cutts have already said, Google takes social signals as one of the important
factor in ranking any webpage on SERPs.
Few of the important Social Sites:
- Twitter
- Google
Plus
- Facebook
- LinkedIn
- Reddit
- Jumptags
You can
get better engagements when you register to some socially active membership
community sites like bloggers, Networked-blogs, Blog-catalog. Today Google give
reals time social results. You can easily see Digg, Reddit, Pinterest, twitter
replies or links in the search results. All these show the importance of social
bookmarking and sharing.
In-order
to use them to their full potential you have to craft a community on your own.
Try to follow and in return ask them follow you. Move to sites like mashable
and share your thoughts. Get involved in linked-in with groups. Vote and
comment on others blog in blog-catalogue and other sites.
This
process won’t give you instant results but they will give you best results
after two to three weeks. But you can still try StumbleUpon to see some real
heavy visitors. But according to many different marketers and bloggers, the
traffic is not so converting and useful.
So these
were 7 different methods which you can use to increase blog traffic
effectively. They work best for me, but my maximum visitors are refereed from
search engines. Let’s see if in the future I am able to equalize this rate.
