10 Tips to Increase Blog Traffic
It's easy to build a blog, but hard to
build a successful blog with significant traffic. A blog with no traffic is
just like a supermarket without any shoppers. No traffic – no business. So it
is vital to take smart steps to boost the traffic of your blog. Let’s look at a
few tips to increase blog traffic.
1. Create
a complete profile or page
If your blog can be identified as a
business or brand, then create a Google+ Page for it. If not, use your personal
Google+ profile to connect with your blog audience. The primary step is to
create a comprehensive profile or page that completely describes who you are,
what expertise you bring to the table, how to find your blog, what your blog is
about, and what makes it special.
2. Take
part in a variety of communities
Advertisers in the current business
world have spent millions and billions of dollars looking for, properly researching
and finally determining where the various consumers with different tastes and characteristics
log in together and how they can be targeted with promotional messages.
3. Connect
with people

4. Use
twitter, Facebook and Google+ to share your posts & find new connections
Due to the wonderful traffic on social
media websites like twitter, google+ and Facebook, it is much easier for you to
use these websites to increase the traffic of your blog.
5. Create
circles
Google+ circles can prove to be very
useful when you want to promote your blog, or want existing users to invite
more readers to your blog.
6. Include graphics, photos and illustrations
If you're someone who can produce
design, take photographs, illustrate or even simply create entertaining doodles
in Microsoft Paint software, you should leverage that talent on your blog.
7. Distribute
interesting content
Don't simply distribute links to your
blog posts over and over. That's boring and will be viewed as excessive
self-promotion. Your Google+ stream of updates should be interesting and
meaningful to your audience, not spammy.
8. Conduct
keyword research while writing your posts
Not surprisingly, a huge part of showing
up in search engines is targeting the terms and phrases your audience are
really typing into a search engine. It's tricky to realize what these words
will be unless you do some research, and fortunately, there's a free tool from
Google to help called the Adwords Keyword Planner.
9. Host
hangouts
Google+ joints are video chats between
up to 10 Google+ members. You can have a joint and promote it as a small
virtual webinar or tutorial session. Think of how you can tie a video chat
session with your blog topic and what kind of valuable information you could
share in such a session.
10. Be
active
Update your social media and blogging
accounts on a regular basis with brand new contents and blog posts, and make
sure that you spend a considerable amount of time liking commenting on other
members' updates also.
Conclusion
The web was not made for static,
text-just content! Readers appreciate links, as do other bloggers, site owners
and even search engines.
