Get traffic that matters
Thursday, 6 December 2007
Just getting any blog traffic wont help your blog grow. You need blog traffic or people that is looking for the content you are writing.
A example of this is: You have a blog about cars, but you only get traffic from readers looking for ways to make money online. That wont make your blog grow as much as traffic that only wants articles about cars.
So you need to know where to get that traffic for your type of blog.
Here is a few tips to get specific traffic for your specific blogs or articles.
1. Look for social networks with the same interest as you niche, them submit you posts to the correct category.
2. Exchange links with people that have the same niche blogs as you. Dont think of them as your enemies. Help each other. The internet is big enough for the both of you.
3. Make sure your titles include the keywords and the correct words to attract those who you want to read your blog and try and make it as clear as possible what your post is about with each title.
4. Comment on blogs with the same topics as your niche. Comment anywhere but make it a goal to give quality comments including tips about the articles you read if it has to do with your niche. For example: You have a blog about computers and you read a post somewhere on something simple like how to fix a computer, You want traffic that has to do with computers so give extra tips on fixing computers in your comment that will increase the quality of the post and people will start to clicking on your Name that should be linked to a appropriate blog post that has the same topic on the blog you are commenting on.
5. Advertise in Magazines and Newspapers that might have the same topic as your blog. Example: You have a blog about pets, so advertise in a magazine about pets or whatever your niche is.
6. The best tip is to follow your niche, if something’s happening somewhere on the internet go there and join the forum, conversation or whatever it is. There where your niche is cooking, go there and contribute. Always use your best post in your Name link ( the link you usually put in where your name is on blog comments.)
