10 Things Bloggers Can Do To Increase Website Traffic


If you are a blogger, perhaps you know the importance of becoming relevant on search engines like Google.  It's important that you stay current with content and ideas and consistently put out new content. But these days, it's harder than ever to compete.  Search engines like Google are not only looking for the best content to present to its users, it's also looking for reliable places.  There are many fly by night websites on the market and so the task of judging a websites reliability does come into play.

The best practices for website owners is to constantly check their code and the loading of their site.  A site that loads fast will look good in the eyes of search engines like Google.  If you are a blogger, perhaps you know or have heard about Google.  If not, I suggest you read their terms and follow all of their procedures for arranging and posting content on your website. Google sends the most traffic to all websites online and has the most advanced indexing of any other search engine.  Because of this, more people use Google for search than any other website url. Naturally they will send the most traffic anywhere online.


For most of us website administrators, traffic means sales.  That's the bottom line of running a business on the internet.  And even if you are not a business, most people who run a website would want to get some type of traffic to their pages other than family and friends. Though that's a great place to start, if you intend on growing your website, you may desire others to find out about you and join. Here are some tips for doing that.

  1. Post plenty of comments on other people's websites. Make your comments count. Many people will not approve your comments if no one can understand what they mean or they don't say much. That's spam and is not worth backlinks.
  2. Participate in a few, not a whole bunch of social networks. Why? 3 accounts at websites you enjoy or use often are far better than signing up for a whole bunch that you don't even plan on using.
  3. Join relevant networks and make attempts to make friends and build a presence there.
  4. Advertising - this is imperative as far as getting traffic to your website.  Search engines will not send traffic to you unless you are somewhat capable of sending traffic to yourself. 
  5. Make sure you budget everything out reasonably. Usually you will have to spend hundreds of dollars on the lower end to bring any real traffic to your site. But times have changed and you should go to IncreaseTraffic.co and sign up for training because they give you good advice and you get your money back if you are not satisfied. On top of that, they give you 10,000 visitors to your site a month, which is necessary traffic for your blog or website.
  6. Sign up with IncreaseTrafficToMyBlog.com.  This is a secret club for people who really want to make a name for themselves online. Point blank. It's free to join and they will advertise your content for you absolutely free. Now that's worth checking out!
  7. Sign up for affiliate programs to make money from all of your hardwork.
  8. Research your content.  The internet has become a sewage system for content and Google wants to send users to the best places they can find the most relevant information. Think like this... if you want Google to send you traffic, then you are working for them in a sense. So make it your job to follow all of their guidelines and procedures and you will go further than you would if you didn't. That's the bottom line.
  9. Guest blog on other sites. Again. . .   It's your duty to spread yourself online and the best way to do that is to blog from more than one place.
  10. Don't do a celebrity blog.  In your quest to deliver the best and well researched content, leave the celebrity blogging to paparazzi's. Do you really think that people are searching the internet and then saying, "I wish there more celebrity blogs out there... there just doesn't seem to be enough of them.
