Need ideas and suggestion to increase web traffic for word press blog, i have started word press blog and i need some ideas to develop a blog and increase web traffic from search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing with the help of search engine optimization.
Write good, original content that people will want to share & link to. Do some keyword research and build content around those keyphrases (I suggest longtails). How long has the blog been active? Will people actually know about it yet? Having a blog isn't a magic fix .. it still takes time.
wordpress has lot of good seo plugins - install all in one seo package - digg digg - dragon sitemap genrator
Promoting your blog to some social media sites might also help you in getting a fair amount of traffic, especially when your blog has something good to offer to readers. Also, try to add social media icons on your blog for quick sharing - it's been a hit these days
Create backlinks to your blog, preferably from sites with high PR like digg or stumbleupon or submit Press Releases.
Getting traffic to any website depends on two main factors ie. onpage and offpage. The main onpage factor is the keyword density of the keyword you are targeting and the main ofpage factor is the quality of backlinks linking to you site. Also don't forget to use your targeting keyword as the anchor text in linking to your site.
Try looking to do some guest posts too. If you are a good writer, and there is a blog in your industry or that shares similar influences, then try and write a guest post for them. That way their audience can see a link back to your blog too.

However, there are 7 things google loves more than anything else, and hard as it is to believe, if you add the urls from the top 10 sites for the search term you are trying to rank for, merely ina blog-roll or as links at the bottom of the page, I mean OUTBOUND links, google will LOVE you. This is one thing the experts will not tell you.
I would recommend Platinum SEO instead of All in One SEO plugin. and if you want to write SEO optimized posts from the start, I'd seriously look into SEOpressor plugin.
