So you now have your blog up and running and your Google AdSense blocks and affiliate links in place. The crucial step is getting people to actually visit your blog. And we are not talking about just any old traffic, we are talking about targeted traffic.
It is only visitors that are actually interested in your niche that you want to attract to your blog.
So how do you get targeted traffic to your blog?
Keyword optimization: You need to identify the keywords that are relevant to your visitors and optimize your posts for these keywords. If you can get you blog to rank well in the search engines for the right keywords, you will get the right type of traffic to your webpages
Generate Backlinks To your Blog: Several ways to do this but the most effective are
1. Linkbait. Write well researched, authoritative and informative posts on your blog. Let each post be an education for your visitors. Be so comprehensive in each post that other webmasters will want to link to you. A few keynote posts is all it takes to generate tons of interest in your blog.
2. Article marketing: Write interesting articles on some aspect of your niche and distribute them on article directories. The articles biobox allows you to include a link to your blog. Again if your articles are informative, you will in no time generate a bunch of backlinks to your sites
Social bookmarking: These sites are places where you can bookmark a URL that you have found useful and post comments on them. You can bookmark your blog and let the world know what you are about. The social bookmarking sites are at the moment very popular and therefore a great source of traffic. Just make sure that you bookmark your URL in the right category so that the visitors you get are targeted.
Social Networking: In order to get people to take your content seriously, you need to establish a relationship with them. An effective way of achieving this is via social networking. Now there are tons of networking sites on the internet, some are niche specific and others not. Your choice of social networking site really depends on what niche your blog is on and what level you are marketing to.
Blog directories: Blog directories are like any other directory only they are specifically for blogs. People actually do use blog directories to find blogs in their area of interest. Again it is important to submit your blog to the right category for this to work.
RSS feeds and Pings: A really easy and often overlooked service is pinging your posts. It is amazing how often bloggers forget to ping their posts. You should ping after every new post on your blog. Pinging is a method of sending out signals to servers across the net that there is new content on your blog. If you have syndicated your blog using RSS feeds, these feeds are updated to reflect your new content.
So now you have a few effective and reasonably straight forward methods of increasing traffic to your blog.
