Your blog needs traffic. With traffic, you have readers, and if your aim is to make money, an income. Discover how to attract visitors to your blog, the easy way.
Traffic is the holy grail of bloggers. When I read online forums in which bloggers talk about traffic generation however, most bloggers make it more difficult than it really is.
So let's look at five easy ways you can get traffic.
1. Keep posting to your blog - you need good content, and a lot of it
A blog isn't a blog without lots of great content. The more posts you have, the more readers will find you. It really is that simple; you must generate content that people want to read.
2. Use social networking tools, like Twitter
Once you have good content, you need ways to turn casual readers into regular readers. Social networking tools like Twitter help. You can update Twitter when you write a new blog post, and when you have something to share with your readers.
3. Promote your RSS feed
Encourage readers to subscribe to your RSS feed. Most of your visitors are unfamiliar with RSS, so you'll need to explain what a feed is, and how to read news feeds.
4. Visit forums and promote in your signature file
Forums are fun; not only will you interact with others, learning more about blogging and your niche, you'll also win traffic.
Share your blog's URL in your signature file. Most forums allow this. Ensure you know what the forum rules are, so you don't break them.
5. Use the free classifieds sites
There are many online classifieds sites, and many are free. Why not advertise your blog?
You'll get more readers, and you'll get those readers who are unfamiliar with blogging. There's a big wide world of readers outside the blogosphere, and your challenge is to get them to your blog. Advertise, and they will come.
So there you have five easy and fun ways to get traffic to your blog. Get started putting the methods into action today.
