New bloggers have one problem in common: they find it hard to attract traffic. They write a couple of posts, do some promotion, and wait for people to come, but then, what happens? Nothing! No comments, very few visits, and a lot of frustration! In this post, I discuss the Top 5 Ways to Bring Traffic to a New Blog.
Top 5 Ways To Bring Traffic To A New Blog
Here are the top 5 ways to bring traffic to a new blog:
Guest Posting
Guest Posting is one of the best methods of blog promotion. It may take time to write a good post, but the list of benefits is very long.
Initially, you may not get too much traffic directly from the post, but search engine traffic will increase (if you choose a good blog).
Recently, I did a guest post on a PageRank 6 blog with 20,000+ subscribers. While only 30 direct visitors came, traffic from Google has doubled and is increasing steadily!
Commenting
Commenting on other blogs can bring in new visitors. If you leave quality comments, blog owners will visit your blog and comment.
If you spend 20 to 30 minutes daily commenting and commenting on 10 to 15 blogs, you can expect 50 to 60 visitors.
Participating In Forums
Register for a good (and big) forum. Include a link to your blog with your elevator pitch in your signature. Spend 20 to 30 minutes on this day, and you may easily get 30 to 40 visitors. Digital Point and SitePoint are two great forums to start with.
Social Networking
Make some friends on Social Networks like Twitter and StumbleUpon.
Ask them to re-tweet or Share your posts. Also, take some time to fill out your profile and add links to your blog. Using Facebook and Twitter, you can easily get 50 to 100 visits daily.
Write Good Stuff
If your posts are boring and offer nothing unique, the above exercises are of no use! Make sure your posts have quality.
