7 Simple Ways to Drive Traffic To Your Blog

Yesterday I told you that having a blog is one of the smartest things you can do to drive FREE traffic to your site.

I must reiterate the fact that if you do this and post often, you will get some healthy traffic coming to your site.

To help your blog along even more, here are 7 tips in no particular order of importance, that will triple the traffic coming to your blog after you have set it up.

1) You can set up what is known as a bloglet subscription form at the top of your page, so that everyone in your immediate network can subscribe. i.e. Friends, colleagues, workmates. You can ask them to pass on your blog to their friends who might be interested.

2) Yahoo is very popular search engine, however you can set up a blog feed on MyYahoo.com so your site gets regularly spidered by the Yahoo search engine. Every time you post, yahoo will crawl and rank that particular post. Sometimes your posts will get ranked high and receive lots of traffic.

3) There is more than likely tons of other blogs in your particular niche. Read and comment on other blogs that are in your target niche. Please don’t spam these blogs by leaving verbatim comments like “Great post” or “Thanks”. Leave helpful, intelligent information that will benefit the readers and after you comment leave a link to your blog address.

4) After every blog post make sure you ping that post. Use Ping-0-matic to ping all blog directories. Make sure you do this without fail, after each of your posts.

5) Use “blog friendly” traditional search engines and submit your blog to them.

Tip: Be sure to use 3 - 5 different ads, and track which one is getting the most clicks and then use that ad next time.

7. Every time you email a friend or a client, ensure you have your link to your blog in your signature.

If you follow these tips you should get a faster stream of traffic visiting your blog/s. I must stress the importance of pinging your posts and getting as many links back to your blog as you can. This is a little bit more elbow work, but it will be well worth it!. Remember more traffic means more sales to you in the end.

Hope this helps your business.

Cheers
