Where to Get More Free Traffic for Your Blog

[ad#leader]

Who doesn’t want more traffic?  With more websites and blogs being created every single day it is also getting harder to stand out from the crowd and actually GET that traffic.  You might think that you can just build a blog and the traffic will flood in, but unless you purposely know how to drive that traffic in, it is unlikely that you will get much of it.

Search Engine Traffic

One of the biggest forms of traffic that people usually think of is from the search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.  These are the 3 biggest search engines and you can get a great deal of visitors if you know how to boost your rankings.  If you are buried on page 5 or 6 you are simply not going to get found by searchers.  By building quality backlinks to your site and having good on page navigation you can see a continual increase in your rankings.

Here are some ways you can get more backlinks to your site:

  • Do some blog commenting on quality blogs.
  • Write quality articles on article submission sites like Ezinearticles and Goarticles.
  • Write and submit articles on Web 2.0 directories like Hubpages and Squidoo.
  • Join a forum and put a link in your signature. Remember to write valuable posts in the forum as well and be an active user.
  • Ask other blog owners for a link exchange.
  • Send out personal emails to relevant sites simply asking for a link.  It might surprise you how many people reply.
  • Offer to write a guest post for another blog in your niche.

The list could go on but those are the basics.

Social News Sites

But using the search engines are not the only ways to drive traffic to your blog.  You can also use social news sites like Digg.com,Mixx.com, and Stumbleupon.com.  I have seen a flood of traffic from just one well timed Stumbleupon submission.  The best way to use these social news sites is to be ahead of the game and announce a news story or event before anyone else does.

Blog Commenting

I know I already mentioned this under search engine traffic, but blog comments can also help you get traffic directly from your link.  If you can get a comment on a popular blog and be the first person to comment and leave your link you can get a ton of traffic from it.  The key is to have your comment at the top of a popular blog post.

Twitter and Facebook

Everyone knows about social networking for their sites but not many people know how to use it properly.  Use your twitter and facebook page to support and promote your main site or blog.  Any time you have a new post or something to announce make sure you tweet about it and post it on your wall.  And then try to interact with your followers and fans.  Some people will only be able to keep up with your blog by following you on Twitter so it’s important to keep them engaged.

Email Marketing

The single most powerful tool for getting more free traffic is to have a growing email list.  Give something away for free on your blog in order to build your list.  Whether you have an ebook, newsletter, or software for them to download, make sure you have an email form on every page.  This will be the backbone of your business and you will be able to make money off of it even if your site gets de-indexed from the search engines.

    Right here is his Dearl Miller’s Range One tip for sending additional traffic to your web page – OPTIMIZE YOUR Key phrases.

    Take into consideration your customers’ requirements and use a tool like Google’s keyword instrument to find key phrases that handle your buyer wants but have much less competition. You may check out the key phrases you decide on with an Adword marketing campaign to see the response you will get. Dearl stresses determining the 20-30 of the top key phrases and producing sure your web-site emphasizes them, but do not overdo it. Just place the keywords in obviously inside the titles, articles or blog posts, tags, as well as other navigational aids like menus and classes. Dearl says you can’t rely on tricks to obtain search engines to rank you greater because:

    one. Each search engine has a different way of ranking the very same pages
    2. They maintain your ranking procedures top secret and don’t want you to understand

    Do:

    2. Each and every title need to explain a benefit and how you fulfill what they have to have
    3. Put keywords in your titles, but do not duplicate them
    4. Put keywords in and (larger font) text
    5. If feasible, obtain a domain identify along with your keywords embedded in them
    6. Place keywords in links in your text
    7. Put keywords inside your text and make a few of the daring
    8. Put key phrases close to top and bottom of your pages
    9. Place keywords inside the ALT tag of one’s images
    ten. Put keywords within the TITLE attribute of anchor links

    Some good ideas. But, do you still see ezine, etc. as being good sources of traffic?

    I know in the last Google update, those sites got devalued. So, are they still worth the time investment?

    I have done making comments, participating in forums, writing a tweet and Facebook updates in the past. But I haven’t tried guest posting because I don’t think I am creative enough to do it. Maybe I’ll try the e–mail marketing and your suggestions under search engine traffic.

      Tried them both, Google Ads (Adwords) works well for me, facebook a little less. What are your experiences with both?

    I agree with these methods. It’s also possible that, while using these, people can come up with other ideas. But you can’t get around the fact that free is always good. Also, these are tried and true methods for getting more traffic so there’s a lot to be said for them still.

    Another method but the surest way to get quality visitors is to utilize Yahoo Answers, and a backlink from Yahoo too. What`s your say?
