So you’re a blogger who has a blog and you’ve been
blogging since a while but have seen not much growth in your blog. There are
people who catch up in just few weeks or months with excellent traffic while
some struggle for years. So this post is going to teach you and share 10
secrets that would boost traffic to your blog:
1. Quality of your Content: Write quality contents.
Write about contents that are unique and mostly searched in Google. Go look at
Google trends and check out topics that are trending and have unique ideas for
writing blog posts on those topics.
2. Quantity of the Contents: Quality matters, so does
quantity. You should write posts on quantity which should also be a good
quantity. Be an active blogger and write posts every now and then. If you just
post an article once a month, your regular readers may stop following you.
3. Blog Post Length: Make sure that whenever you are
writing a blog post, you post should atleast be about 700 plus words and an
ideally good post should have about 1000 – 1500 words. Yes this is where every
blogger goes wrong when they post a lot of blog posts but are not of good
length hence they are not found by search engines and get really less traffic.
4. Social Media Influence: As a blogger you should
also make sure that you are really active in social media whether it be
twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus, etc. Be active in social networks
and don’t just spam your account with links but make it a quality account which
will get your more followers and then occasionally post your blog updates.
5. Guest Post for Other Blogs: Most bloggers under
estimate the power of guest posting but this will help your blog a lot and even
double your traffic. First writing a guest blog post will expand the horizon of
your readership and get you and your blog promoted. Secondly leaving a backlink
on your guest post will definitely increase your blog’s SEO and ranking making
your blog posts highly visible and more traffic.
6. Commenting in Others Blog: As a blogger you should
be very social and make sure you comment in other blogs as well. This will
increase the chance of you getting discovered, provide backlinks to your blog
and also help get new readers who will be introduced to you and your blog. You
will also increase your social status as a blogger by being highly interactive
in blogs reading to increased traffic in your blog.
7. Encourage Comments in Your Blog: Make your blog
post highly interactive. Do ask questions to your readers as well in the post
and their opinions, so that they would comment them on your blog comment box,
which in turn would definitely add value to your blog post enriching the search engines to get a grab of your blog easily and thus gaining increased traffic.
8. Use Appropriate Keywords and SEO: SEO is a skill
and you need to practice and master that skill. Using keywords in your post
properly may help your post to gain a better search engine ranking, a good SEO
and as a result increased traffic.
9. Great Catch Titles: They say don’t judge a book by
its cover but apparently everyone does. Whenever you are writing a title for
your blog post, make sure it has a catchy headline with appropriate keywords
that describe the blog post. But you should also be careful that your titles
should not describe something that is not in the post else you will lose your
blog’s wellness, followers and readers.
10. A good blog design: A good blog design will always
impress your readers and will encourage them to share your posts, recommend it
to friends and revisit. You gain followers if your blog looks nice. Make sure
your blog design is good, with well-arranged topics and sidebars.
