Driving More Traffic to Your Blog

After lamenting that they can't find time to write on their blog, the next most popular challenge I hear about is that the blogger is not getting enough traffic to his/her blog.

Aside from the obvious - publish valuable content consistently and constantly - there are dozens, if not hundreds of ways to drive traffic to a blog.

First, I direct you to a free 57-minute audio program on driving quality traffic to your blog that I presented a few months ago. I recently reviewed the entire program and everything discussed is still relevant. You also get a word for word transcript.

Second, there is an entire category on this blog with more than 100 posts about various ways to attract traffic to your blog. OK, that may seem daunting so here's a list of some posts that can jump start your blog traffic if you implement the tactics.

Where do you find an audience for your blog?

Then, post a comment with your #1 blog traffic tactic. I have no doubt there are many more ways than I have written about or even experimented with.

#1 Tactic is to make something uniquely relevant to that day, and if possible- make it funny.

Humor always makes people let down their guard a little bit - especially when they are thinking of buying.

"Quaility Traffic" is definately the keyword here. The traffic has to be an audience of people who are interested in your blog content.

Hi there,
I would like to add here that there are a number of ways that you can attract traffic to your blog. One of the fastest ways is link exchanging or for blogging it is sometimes called friending. This means that basically you link your blog as being friends with other related blogs. Joining communities with like interests is also a great way to attract readers to your blog. Most of the time if they like what you have to say on a particular topic they are willing to head over and see what you have to say on other topics.

One of the strategies that I have learned from watching and purchasing many programs from Internet gurus is to use the Web 2.0 sites for backlinks.

More backlinks will result in your website/s getting higher rankings in the search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, which will eventually give you traffic.

The best way to draw more traffic to your blog is to create high quality content. If you do this, people will find what you have written as being interested. As a result, they will come back the next day and the days after and furthermore they might even give the link to your blog to some of their friends. Concentrate more on content than on promoting your blog.
