Six Incredible Ways to Get Loads of Traffic to Your Blog


Sure, you can build a blog in less than one hour, but can you build a successful blog with significant traffic within an hour or two? 

Definitely not.

Every serious blogger wants their articles be seen and read at least a hundred times or more. So, how is that possible? 

Here are simple blogging strategies that will absolutely improve your blog traffic. These can be used by newbies and seasoned bloggers alike, and even by those who already have reached their traffic plateau and need assistance expanding their platform beyond its initial reach.

Examine your motives

You want massive traffic to your blog, but why? Is it because you want to help web users, be a great source of information, and make a difference? Or you just want to make yourself popular?

If you answer the latter, then better quit blogging now. If your main purpose is to self-serve, you can be your own hindrance to your blog’s growth. Truth be told is, people want you to talk about them, not you.

While personal experiences are good starting points, enabling you to share first-hand perspectives, spotlighting yourself too much all the time will draw readers away from your site. Strive hard instead to be a resource and help others. And that in return makes you a star.

Understand your audience

What does your audience desires to know from you? One good tool you can use to figure out what your audience is passionate about is Quora. Through this platform you can get a good deal of people’s most pressing questions and concerns.

Also, when working out the things you want to write, consider the ability of your target audience to spread the word. Some readers are more active evangelising your output, while others are less concerned about it.

Hang out where your audience are frequent

Finding out where a large portion of your audience regularly hangs out doesn’t need to break the bank. You may already know a handful of blogs, forums, websites and social media communities where conversations about your topic are taking place. If not, a quick Google search can give you the idea.

Assuming you’ve identified the communities where your potential readers gather, start participating. Take note, however, that it is essential to get a good feel before you jump into any of the conversation.

Send your blog post to relevant influencers

It is easy as sending a short message like this: “I recently published an article on the best apps for start-up owners and thought your subscribers might find it interesting.” Just be sure to send your posts to readers, organisations or blogs that would be interested enough to give your content some time and share it with their networks.

Make Your Blog SEO friendly

This is particularly crucial for Google search to rank your page. Include a headline that users might look for in Google, such as “effective tips to.” Repeat keywords from your headline in your overall text for about three times. You definitely don’t want to appear like a spammer.

Add links to credible outside sources as well. Doing so not only adds value to the reader but also helps you rank in search engines. Google, for one, seeks quality information.

Be generous with your sharing

Share your blog content nearly as much as you have to. Don’t fall into the mentality of “sharing once and forgetting everything.”

Social media plays a big role in doubling your blog traffic. Share your blog post several times in a timely manner, depending on the platform. You may want to tweet, Facebook share and Google+ your write-up as soon as you publish it. A couple of days later, you may tweet it again, or Facebook share it the following week.

However, you should ensure that you’re not publishing the same message on social media again and again, as this becomes spammy. By coming up with different teaser quotes, you are likely to capture different readers.


As you can see, it takes hard work and dedication to promote your article and the methods are endless. On the brighter side, there are more effective resources today than ever before, and some comes for free.
