Building A Blog's Traffic
Ok Here we go bloggers!
The primary aim of every blogger is to make money and to get good traffic. Without good traffic, you can't make money via blogging!
There are different ways in which you can get traffic to your blog.
Now, before getting traffic, you need audience. Your first audience will come from social networks and link sharing sites provided you share your links.
Lets Start from Facebook- Before you can trust your traffic from facebook, you need to have quite a number of friends (At least from 1 thousand and above) and be very interactive with them so they can view any of your shared links even if they're not interested. Interaction with your facebook friends play a good role in getting audience to your links and blog. You can start by posting funny status updates, attractive statuses or offering them something priceless for free.
Also, give your blogposts a very sugarcoated title so that it can attract even busy facebookers... Facebook is a very good source for getting new audience if you get the tactics i stated above wella.
Twitter- You may not create a new twitter acct for your blog as you can use a personal acct for sharing your links. Infact, i prefer personal accts so you can get friendly visitors that can address you by name and interact with you. This way, you're getting real and friendly audience. If you don't have followers, you can use some twitter systems like easyretweet.com or twiends.com. Also cultivate the habit of replying trending topics frequently so people can notice you and might follow you if they find your replies intersting. Don't be Stingy! Follow as many people as you like and reply them freq then watch as your twitter acct/tweets grow. Use this method for getting traffic from digg.com and likes also.
Moseso,tell your readers to subscribe to your blog posts either via rss or email... You can promise to give them something very good if they subscribe. Do not forget to give freebies and giveaways. You know people like free stuffs! This way, people will visit your blog and even advertise for you because of the giveaway they got.
GETTING TRAFFIC FROM SEARCH ENGINES (ORGANIC TRAFFIC):-
This is a type of traffic every blogger wants. Search Engines especially Google respect traffic from sites with good authority... Meaning your backlinks, Pagerank and Content! (Above all, Content is the King as they say).
You need to write unique posts with unique titles so as to be seen and awarded traffic from google.
Not just that, be among the first posters! This goes to news and mag blogs as your blog will rank well in search results if you are an early poster of updates, google will see you as a serious blogger and will take some blogs as fake and copycats. This is why your posts has to be in a unique style of writing. Also make sure you have meta tags on your blog. Google it to learn more. There's a doc here on how to do it also. Having gotten this, you now need to submit your sitemap to google webmasters and others. Right now, yahoo and bing has merged their webmasters so submit your sitemap to google at www.google.com/webmasters then to bing at www.bing.com/webmasters. Your sitemap url is your feed url but if you are on blogger platform, you can use yoursite.com/feeds/posts/
default?orderby=updated as your sitemap url.
Sorry i can't continue because this tutorials was written on mobile but I've dropped the main tips i use on my blogs. At least My 1 month and 12 days old blog is having over 10k total pageviews (80% from google) and still working to get more.
Watch out for more of my traffic tips!
