Drive Increased Traffic to Your Blog For Free
Like any other website, a blog also need some promotion to drive traffic so people would know it exists and make a visit. We all want visitors on our blog. However, there are more than 100 millions of blogs in the blogosphere and that poses a big problem.
Here are fundamental blog marketing tactics to increase site visits and drive more traffic to your blog:
1. Maximize your blog’s search engine rankings to obtain traffic relatively quickly. To do this, make sure you optimized your blog posts, title tags, headings, metatags and many other parts of a blog with your targeted keywords.
2. Get to ping your blog every time you post new contents. Pinging alerts all the major blog directories with your updated content automatically so you it saves you the time of having to do each one manually.
3. By adding a Google sitemap to your blog, you can more easily submit your site to the Google search engine spider. You get better coverage by the spider, than by simply submitting your blog to the Google search engine.
4. Blog commenting can also be an effective way to drive more visitors and traffic to your blog. As long as you post valuable and helpful comments, there’s a great probability people will be clicking on your link for them to know more about your expertise.
5. Having other sites linking to your content is a sure way to get readers from that blog. Develop a link building campaign for your blog and search for link partners. Keep in mind that the quality of relevant links are far more valuable than quantity.
6. Arrange Adsense units in strategical places within your blog to enhance its “clickability”. Cluttering your blog with Google AdSense units will leave a bad impression on your readers and drive them away.
7. Write high-quality posts often. Great content is what makes readers stay and increases the chances that they will link to you and share the information to others. Sharing your links will get you increased content distribution and more backlinks.
