Tips for increase your website traffic

    Blog hosting

    Always host your blog on your own domain. If you place your blog on another domain, it may not be able to attract public attention, build confidence, and improve rating in search results. So using a different domain is the biggest mistake one can ever make.


    Title tag


    Whenever you put a title tag, make sure that it is relevant to the subject matter, and is not just a random one. You put a title to attract your visitors, so ensure that it is short, and snappy.


    Article marketing

    Notwithstanding which area of article marketing for your blog you have ventured into, there are many public forums for that topic, which you must actively participate in. There are quite a few online communities, where you can post messages or initiate a discussion to increase your visibility, and attract a huge community of people to your website.

    Tagging

    Tagging is very important. You can visit Technorati for this purpose. If you have many tags on your page, then it will show in the search results.

    Blog commenting

    Commenting on other blogs has also become important because others will then comment on your blog. A blog becomes dry and dull if there are no comments on it.


    Choose your blog topics

    There are people who simply join in the bandwagon without much knowledge on what it is all about. If there is some great news about something related to your industry, it does not necessarily mean that you should jump to cover it, or even mention it. Yes, that does help to increase your popularity, and sharing something is always good. But if you don’t feel the need for doing it, simply leave it!


    Intelligent linking

    If you link things in your blog, then do so in an intelligent manner. Don’t link each and every issue that you want to, but maintain a fine balance between linking important topics. Both under-linking, as well as over-linking, are not good. So conventions and creativity should be used only when the circumstances so warrant.

    Interaction

    Make your blog interactive. Mere textual data becomes monotonous after a point of time. So use graphics, images and charts to make the blog appealing to the readers.


    Provide answers!

    Whatever niches you might be in, there are always some questions whose answer remains vague. So you can focus on those important issues and provide a concrete answer for those questions.


    Tracking visitors

    Software which tracks visitors can analyze the areas most frequented by visitors, the ones which hardly get any hits, etc. so these vital information can be used for betterment of your blog. Feedburner is very good for RSS purpose.

    Proper archives


    Proper archives need to be maintained. Sorting them out date-wise or subject-wise always helps. Generally, archives must include every article that has ever been posted on the blog, but from the usability point of view, you can just link interrelated topics in a blog post.


    Blog URL

    URL’s are also important as it gives the readers a view of what lies on that page. The best URL’s should be short, but having enough information regarding the content of that webpage.


    Sharing information

    An open source on the internet is always welcome. Sharing private information on the internet is always considered a good marketing strategy.



    Writing style

    Your readers will personally take your style of writing and your focus on subjects. If you constantly modify that style, you will disappoint those segments of people who rely on you for that subject or style.


    Branding tool


    Building a brand is very important. A good brand is one which people feel pride associating themselves with, so such a brand must be built.


    Blog submission

    Blog submission to blog directories is very important. BlogCatalog.com, blogarma.com and bloggernity.com are some famous blog directories.


    Yahoo feed

    You must create a feed on Yahoo! This option is available under the “My Yahoo!” tab.


    Google Adwords


    Google Adwords is expensive, but a great marketing tool nonetheless. A low-cost option is also available with them.


    Blog name


    If you can, buy a domain name for the blog, which costs about $10 annually. You won’t even have to shell out money for hosting.

    Signatures


    Make it a habit to use signatures. Put a link of your blog in your signature, and use it while sending emails, posting on forums, etc.

    You can get backlinks by answering on Yahoo! Answers. Because of Yahoo! Answers made by Yahoo! - your answer with backlink will be loved by search engines. Y! Answers ranked highly enough on low-competitive keywords and this is a gold mine for you =). In addition, Yahoo! Answers daily passes a huge amount of traffic, you should put a good answer with backlink in the popular theme and you will get a good part of this traffic. Moreover, it is not just the traffic, this is targeted traffic, which is better then search engines traffic.

    I have tried yahoo answers but most of the time they just get deleted because of the links in it.

    I suppose that links and backlinks exchange is one of the best methods of generating traffic to web sites. Besides, also try directory submission sites.
