Traffic Generation Strategies
So now we’ve picked a profitable niche, we
have our blog set up and optimized, and we’ve monetized our blog, we now have
one thing left to do; get visitors to our blog!
Blog Commenting
A great way to get targeted visitors to
your blog that will be interested in your content and products, is by leaving
comments on other similar blogs in your niche with a link back to your blog in
you comment or ‘signature’.
Do a search on Google for other blogs in
your niche that are relevant to your own blog and try to find blogs that have a
lot of traffic, a lot of activity, and are seen as somewhat as an authority in
your niche.
Try to engage constructively in the
conversations and threads and offer useful advice. Try to help people the best
you can, the more you positively contribute to forums and blogs, the more
clicks you will get on your link back to your blog and the more traffic you
will get.
Don’t ever try to spam blogs by leaving
comments of little value like leaving one liners like ‘great post’. This will
never work and no one will even click on your link.
Try to actively participate in the
community and build up a bit of a reputation for helping people and you will
see a huge jump in your traffic!
Submitting To Directories
There are hundreds of directories out
there that let you submit your blog to them for free (there are also some paid
ones). This will not only help increase your traffic by people looking through
the directories and finding your blog, but it will also help you to get
backlinks to your blog. A lot of blog directories have a high page rank and
this in turn will help you to rank in the search engines.
Doing this manually is very time consuming
and a bit tedious, so I recommend using a software tool such as Brad Cullen’s
free Directory Submitter http://directorysubmitter.imwishlist.com/ that
will automatically do it for you.
Submitting RSS Feeds
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Feeds
allow readers of your blog to automatically receive any updates for you blog as
they happen. The great thing is, Wordpress automatically creates an RSS Fed for
your blog.
Submitting your RSS Feed to RSS Feed sites
will help give you more high PR backlinks which will help with your SEO and
rankings.
Do a search for RSS Feed Feeder sites that
you can submit your RSS Feed to.
Pinging Your Blog
Pinging your blog will notify the Search
Engines of your blog’s content, since the search engines are always scanning
the net trying to pick up any new content. By pinging your blog you will speed
up the process of getting all the pages of your blog indexed.
There are also a lot of sites out there
that publish any new content found on the web. By pinging your blog you will
also notify these site’s of your new content.
Here are a couple of free pinging sites to
ping your blog on:
