5 Simple Ways to Increase Traffic to your Blog
Blogs are a great way to promote your service or product. Blogs are simple to install, easy to administer and simple to update. Search engines love them because they are generally a great source of original content. However, without traffic, a blog cannot reach its full potential. Provided here are 5 simple and easy ways to improve traffic to your blog and start making money.
1. Submit to blog search engines There are multitudes of search engines available that list only blogs. Just Google for “blog search engines” and you should find 20 or more. These blog search engines will help you with targeted traffic. Be sure to write a good title and a good description to your blog, so that people will easily find it and click on your link.
2. Update your content regularly. Search engines and blog services thrive on regular updates. It’s very likely that you will get targeted traffic from search engines if you post often. That means you should make a new post to your blog at least daily. But be careful. Too many updates per day can harm your search engines position and hits. 10 or more is probably too many.
Step 3: Post in Forums, but never SPAM them. A typical strategy is to post something relevant and interesting and include a link to your blog in your signature. Be sure to post in forums that are aligned with your blog content, don’t just post in any forum. For example, if you are selling photo blockers for your license plate, post in forums about vehicles or travel. Don’t post in music forums if you are selling computers. Posting in forums creates 1-way links which enhance search engines positions, particularly Google, MSN or yahoo.
Step 4: Develop a list of blog services to ping. There are many blogs services that you can ping. Pinging means that you notify the service that you have updated your blog. In turn, you gain traffic through the updated listing in these services. There are a list of 50+ blog services that you can ping on my site. This should be more than enough to provide an initial jump in traffic to your blog.
Step 5: Add buttons to popular newsreaders. There are sites such as yahoo, Google or bloglines that have a members area where you can choose sites with RSS feeds to fetch the most recent updates from various blogs. Thus, you can have the most recent updates from as many as 50 blogs listed on one page.
Adhere to these 5 steps and you will certainly increase the traffic to your blog. And the so long awaited sales will start to roll in. Please don’t forget to update your blog with fresh original content that you have written yourself.
