Get More Traffic to Your Blog

So, you want some more traffic for your blog? First and foremost, you want the right traffic! All the visitors that come to your site, you want to keep. You want them to come back and visit you again, not run away from your blog as fast as possible. So the first step is, get visitors by building content. Before you do anything, have at least a week or two weeks worth of posts.

If you’ve got that, you’re ready to move on! First, and this is more obvious, you want to submit your blog to some of the big search engines, like Google, for one. So go around and submit to all the search engines you can, all the ones that take links (most of the big ones do). And while you’re doing this, be sure to be adding fresh new content all the time. Search engines AND the new traffic you’ll be getting soon will love you for it!

Then submit to top lists, directories, and more. If you look at my sidebar of this blog, you’ll see buttons where people can vote for me for top lists. This really helps get new traffic. The more unique votes and views you have, the higher you go on the list. BlogTopList and BlogSkinny are great - they’ve got me some traffic for sure, and they won’t fail for you!

Link exchanges are always great to. Try to link to blogs that are similiar or related to the topic of your blog, and ask them nicely to link back to you. Be sure to show interest in them, and to have content. They won’t link to your blog if it’s not going be worthwhile!

A while back, I signed up for MyBlogLog. I didn’t really get into it until a few days ago, but now I wish I had started using it more sooner, because it can REALLY increase the traffic you get! When you view someone’s blog who has the “Recent Visitors” up (see my sidebar), your icon will appear. Then people can click and be directed to your profile, where your blog is listed. It’s a huge community and can draw in a lot of visitors, so I really recommend that.

Feedburner is great too. It mainly helps people keep in touch with your blog, which is important if you want the traffic you get to be coming back. I have Feedburner powered tools right here, including my “subscribe via email” form and subscription buttons in the sidebar. I never realized how handy it could be!

Let me tell you - getting traffic isn’t easy, especially for a newer blog or website. It requires a lot of time and hard work, but if you’re dedicated, you’ll do just fine. Remember to always write new content, because it keeps your visitors coming back. And whenever you can, sign up for a new directory or top list or whatnot, whether it’s big or small. If you’re determined and hardworking, your blog will be getting more traffic in no time!
