Tips To Increase Your Blog Traffic

    Initial steps you must meet before heading to the success of online businesses is looking for visitor traffic. How important is the traffic for your blog? For me it’s very important step in starting a business online.

    So what should we do to get that traffic? In this article I will try to share some tips on increasing your blog traffic and help the process of self-branding.

    Here are tips on improving your traffic for free:

    1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO). There is very much explanation and articles that discuss Search Engine Optimization, and the purpose of SEO is to get Targeted Traffic.

    2. Giving Something In Free. This requires a process, because you must create something to be distributed for free. For example, E-Book for free, Free Templates, Wordpress Theme Free and many more.

    3. Forum Signature. Forum signatures are a few words or sentences that located at the bottom of your posts on the forum. Try to be active in the forum so you get a good reputation, so that all the attributes attached to your nickname wanted to view by other members, including the signature.

    4. Blogwalking. Blogwalking is to make a comment on an article on another blog. There are several objectives of the bloggers do blogwalking such as make friends, comment on articles, search for backlinks and also expect a visitor back, and from this visit you get traffic.

    5. Creating Controversial Articles. Try to create an article that invites controversy and follow the current trends and deploy your writing through blogwalking, forums or social bookmarking.

    6. Active on Yahoo Answers. Yahoo Answers is a question and answer service provided by Yahoo! free. You can use this service to increase your blog traffic by answering questions and include a link to your blog in it.

    7. Banner and Link Exchange. This means that you exchange your links or banners with other blogs on the condition that you have to display links or banners of the other blogs in your blog.

    8. Make a Profile on Amazon. The goal is not for doing a business online at Amazon, but you are actively reviewing all existing products on Amazon, each review will draw attention from web visitors who saw the product.

    9. Creating Unique Video. Try to make a funny and unique video that can attract thousands of viewers. Include your blog URL at the beginning and end of the video.

    10. Ask Your Blog Reviewed. Participate in web development forums such as DigitalPoint, Sitepoint, V7N, and so on. Go to the category of Web Review, and ask for your blog reviewed.

    Some of the web that can help you.

    Social bookmarking and news sites are the way to go right now. Well in my mind anyways, I can see where other views and opinions come into play.

    Pretty good points, getting traffic to blogs can be tough.

    For whatever reason, google doesn't seem to like them much (they don't tend to come up terribly high in search.)

    Have you read this? Blog or Build?

    About halfway down the page is some really good info comparing blogging to building a more traditional site. Gives some good insight!

    You can use site meters and hit counters to increase your blog traffic. I don't know how exactly it works but it has increased my blog traffic at least by 150%.

    Some good advice for sure, but people need to be aware these arent techniques to generate you 1000 hits a day in a months time. They are slow and steady ways to get better.

    yes GI is right.

    You can not see a substantial movement in the hits. You can use good advertisements also on your blog.

    But the best way to increase your hits is to comment in other peoples blog and get them to post comments in your blog. You can add friends and make a circle. discuss topics which might be of interest to many people.

    Blogwalking is nice. It's just that finding dofollow blogs are tough.

    but you should never use some bot or tools to increase the traffic as they will affect in long term and may be banned its always better to use natural way
