Increase Blog Traffic with These Tips
Do you want to find easy ways to increase your blog traffic? Have you run out of creative ideas and losing much-needed time searching out ways to increase blog site traffic? Have no fear, today we are going to share with you some tips on how to increase blog traffic easily and regularly to free up precious time that could be used elsewhere.
Pinging Services
While this can be a tedious task, there are a few blog pinging services that you should have saved as bookmarks for use whenever you have new blog content posted. Some samples of pinging services that work great to increase blog traffic are: Pingoat.net, Googleping.com, and Ping.in. Check all of the appropriate services in each selection after inserting your blog name, blog site URL and if applicable your blog RSS feed link. You may have to enter a CAPTCHA code to proceed, and watch out for ad placements on these pinging services sites, be certain to click the actual site ping button, not the ads serviced on their website.
Submit Content to Social Media
Each day you have new content, visit the actual blog post and use your social share buttons at the bottom of the blog post to submit each post to your social media channels. Be certain to share your new blog site content on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest while LinkedIn can be a great addition if you have written something that falls in line with that area of social networking. It is important to maintain a consistent level of content pushing out on your blog site as well as all social media channels as a means to reach higher levels in search engine results. Add a little blurb to each social media share as a means to increase keyword data being indexed by robots on the social media networks.
Comment on Other Blogs
Spend about half an hour a day commenting on other blog sites, find areas that are within the same industry as yours and are higher traffic blogs as a means to utilise this to your advantage. When you leave blog comments on other blogs that have a high level of commenters then you are increasing your chance at more blog site traffic and increasing your readership within your own blog site. Engage with other commenters on these blog sites, reply to comments and build a conversation on another blog as this will get that blog site’s traffic interested in what you may have to say. When you engage in conversation with other blog site commenters you are opening the door for a click-through over to your blog because most comment systems allow for your blog site to be linked to your name when leaving a comment.
The key to ensuring that each of the above three steps increases blog traffic is to do them regularly, when you have new blog site content, follow these three steps. Before you know it, you will have increased blog traffic with these tips and start to see an incline in your site stats data.
What’s your top tip for driving up traffic?
These are all great tips. I especially like the one about commenting on other blogs. Networking is the best way to meet new people and grow your following. I also am active in my Facebook groups and Pinterest/Tailwind boards and tribes which is a big traffic booster for me.
It really makes a difference talking to other bloggers and interacting doesn’t it.
Thanks for your recommendations Sarah. I find that retweeting about trending topics gives me a decent amount of traffic
Commenting on other blogs helps to give you exposure to other readers when you share your link, Plus it just builds up the community. (:
