Free and Effective Way To Increase Your Blog Traffic
December 16, 2010 | 
Author If you’re a blogger like me 
then I’m pretty sure by now you would have realised how important is traffic to your site. When I was starting out, I really had a tough time but I never give up and this is the reason my blog start generating a consistent traffic to my blog. So, what’s the real secret?
Some of my friends even have asked me whether am I paying to any third party to drive traffic to my site. Well, the simple answer is ‘no’. I’m just using some simple methods which is also quite old and free to generate the traffic I want for my blog. Why am I saying it’s old and free?
The truth is many of you might heard about this but never give a try about it or may be give up too early on it. It really doesn’t matter if your blog is a personal blog that you do just for fun or if you’re a serious online marketer who uses their blog to make money, everyone wants to know how to increase their blog traffic. That seems to be the universal question.
The first step is that just by using a blog format for your website you’ve already done a lot to get more targeted traffic to your blog. The search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN love fresh content and since blogs are updated far more frequently than a static site would be, the search engines view that as a content driven site and will rank it higher.
There are many other things you can do, for free, to increase the amount of traffic you get to your blog. And remember, it’s not just about any traffic, it’s about getting quality traffic, traffic that consists of people who are actually interested in the topic of your blog.
Here are a few of the simplest and most effective free things you can do to keep the flow of quality traffic to your blog going strong:
1. Post often. The more often you post, the more often your blog will get crawled by the search engines and you will be rewarded with a higher page rank and more free traffic. One word of warning though, as with vitamins, don’t fall into thinking that if one is good 15 must be better. If you post too many times in a day, the search engines will think that your not building your site in a ‘natural’ way and they will penalize you for it.
A very effective rule of thumb is to post one post every single day for 21 days, I don’t know why, but that 21 seems to be the magic number. After the first 21 days you can slow down to several posts a week if you want, or you can continue with one a day, it’s up to you. At first, I myself didn’t stick to this rule, yet I still manage to bring the traffic I want just by posting once a week. However, it’s up to you whether you want to post once or twice a week. But for better results, try to post it atleast a week which will make your visitors to come back to our site/blog.
2. Write articles that will direct people to visit your blog. You can use the free Google keyword tool to target the types of keyword phrases people are using to find your blog, than write quality articles around that keyword, then you can submit your article for free to article directories such as EzineArticles.com.
3. Learn a little about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and start using those techniques on your blog. This will make your site stand out to the search engines. Don’t worry about knowing everything there is to know about SEO, just a few basic concepts can make a huge difference.
4. Visit other blogs and leave a comment with a link back to your blog. This will not only show people that you are an expert in your field, but they will also be interested in checking out your blog and more about what you have to say, assuming of course that you leave insightful, interesting comments. I really need to admit this that this is one of the powerful method that I personally have used to generate the targeted traffic I really want.
5. Invite a Guest Blogger. Seriously, this is an awesome method to increase your blog traffic. You can invite another famous blogger in your niche to post in your blog. This also will help you to pull out the guest blogger’s readers and followers to check out your blog. But at the same time, tell your guest Blogger to come up with a fresh post that never been posted in his blog or any other site. This is another way to add fresh content to your blog.
These methods are the easiest methods that will help you to increase blog traffic, that you will find. Don’t waste a ton of money on expensive pay per click campaigns when you can have even better results just by investing a little time. Yes, just by investing little time you really can increase your blog traffic.

5 Easy Ways To Drive Traffic To Your Site
Hi Guys,
Hope you all are doing great. Today, I would like to discuss five easy ways to drive traffic to your site which could be either a website or even a business blog of yours or it could be any of your affiliate product’s site. However, let me warn you before you start using these 5 easy ways to drive traffic to your affiliate products site, please don’t send the traffic straight away to these affiliate products sites. If not, you could lose that traffic forever. First of all, try to capture their email address with free offers or try to lead them to a site where you can presell these affiliate products to your new potential customers. By this way, you are not going to lose your traffic forever and you can drive more traffic to your site without any hurdles in future.
#1 Start a blog
I know many of you have heard this millions of times. Yes, this is one of the powerful way to drive traffic to your site. Major Search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing always looking for fresh and relevant content to update in their site. Here, how the blogs work in to drive traffic to your site. No one can deny that blogging is the easiest way to add content on the go. Do you know how long it took me to write this article? Of course, it took me just around 30-40 minutes to write and publish it into my blog because of the flexibility of blogging. If you haven’t start building your blog, then I strongly suggest you to start one. If you need any help in building your first blog, then just contact me here.
#2 Write Articles
Another quality and completely free way to drive traffic to your site is by article writing. By writing and submitting articles to the top article directories like ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com is one of the most efficient and free way to get massive exposure to your site. However, you must use this method with great care. Before you are submitting your article to any article directory, please proof read it. Just make sure that your article is completely free from spelling and vocabulary errors. If not, misspelled words and unwanted vocabulary errors could kill your readers interest. So, please be careful while you are writing articles for marketing purposes. If you think you are not good at writing, just hire someone who could write it for you. You can find freelance writers here at elance.com and guru.com.
#3 Use the Advantage of Video Marketing
Do you know what is the hottest way to market anything in online now? Yes, it is none other than videos. Videos are the hottest way to drive traffic to your site. Through video marketing, people can see and hear you that you are a real person and someone who is serious about your business. So, don’t hesitate to use the video marketing. You can start doing this by using the completely free software, windows movie maker which comes together with windows based computers. However if you are serious about your video marketing and willing to spend a fortune on it, then I strongly suggest you to grab your own copy of Camtasia. Then, upload it to Youtube where millions of people are watching millions of videos. Alternatively, you could even upload your videos for completely FREE in TubeMogul where it enables you to automatically upload your video to more than one site at a time. Can you imagine what kind of massive amount of traffic your site could get all by with few clicks of the button? So, I suggest you to start creating your videos and post them via TubeMogul to get more traffic to your site.
4# Get Your Feet Into the Forums
Ok, I know some people would have advised you that forum marketing is a waste of time. But, trust me. This is another free way to drive traffic to your business site. By taking part actively in your business (niche) related forum, you can attract other participants to drop by at your business site. Another key element you must consider here is you must be able to deliver quality content and related services in the forum. This will make the forum readers to be curious in knowing about you and at the end they will be visiting your blog or website. If your blog and services are up to their expectations, these new visitors willingly will turn into your paid customers list. For instance you can check it out my friend Albert Hallado’s site here where he has successsfully turned most of his blog visitors into his paid customers.
5# Use the Power Of Social Networking Sites
This is one of my favourite method. Some people are still underestimating the power of Social Networking sites. Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed and etc are currently having billions of people as their users. By implementing some simple techniques, you can drive massive amount of traffic to your business site. You could easily insert your website or blog url in your social networking site’s profiles. You also can use the little automation system where you can easily incorporate links of your blog within your facebook or friendfeed all with a push of button.
