Every person that has a blog or website wants more traffic. You can never have enough traffic coming to your pages. So how do we convince people to come to our site? This is a question on every beginners mind. Mine too! Sure you can start off small through word of mouth and tell your friends and family. But this is not going to cut it and spread your contents across the world-wide web.
Think of it this way… Imagine your website as a party, to get people to come to your party you have to tell them. The more people you tell about your party the more people who are likely to turn up.
The same rule applies on the internet. The more people who know about your website the more people who will visit. Nobody wants to take the time and write out perfectly written posts and information for nobody to read it.
So I am going to take the time and show you a few tips that can help you achieve this.
First things first…
So you have a blog/website, but want more traffic? First lets check to see what our site is about.
I’m not saying that you should not write about past experiences and share what you have learned. Hey! I do this. I feel this way I hope that the reader will connect with what I have experienced and hopefully learn from my mistakes. That way I have achieved something from this blog.
“Aim to be a resource and to help others. The irony is that if you do you will become a star”
6 Tips on how to bring traffic to your site.
1.Leave thoughtful comments on other people’s blogs,
This is a simple yet so effective. Discover blogs in your niche. Take a look at what other people are creating and writing about. This can be helpful to give you something to focus on. Leave a comment on the posts that you like and leave your website to ask them to check it out. You never know this could lead to something more and that person may have found information that could help them!
2.Get social,
Everyone knows someone who is on a social networking site. Take for example. Facebook has over 1 Billion people registered. This is a great, or even the best possibility to get your niche to the world for absolutely free! Get out there and experiment. Sign up to all the social networking sites to broaden your chance of bringing in traffic. Twitter has a great feature where you can share your tweets with your followers just by posting! Try and gather as many followers as you can.
3.Quality not quantity,
Make sure every post is worth reading. Everywhere you look everyone has different opinions on whether you should write short brief posts or write a small article. In my experience I don’t think it really matters. As long as the quality of the post is there. Aim to be very informative on what you write. This way it will keep the reader interested regardless of how long the post is.
4.Be a resource,
Provide your readers with what they are looking for. When your reader visits your website for a specific reason, give them something else similar to that. This way it will keep your readers on your site for longer.
5.Create backlinks,
This is killing two birds with one stone! Creating back links from other sites to yours is a great way to gather traffic as well as higher rankings in search engines. Visit forums and other websites to do with your niche and post comments and information about your website.
6.Write attractive headlines,
This is the first thing your readers are going to see. This needs to catch attention for the reader to click on your posts or links. Any serious blogger will eventually hit a plateau and need some help extending her platform beyond its initial reach. This happens to all of us. And there’s nothing wrong with asking the question: “How can I get more traffic?”
I hope this has helped you. Certainly has helped me over the last few months. Enjoy and good luck!
