Increase Blog Traffic

This may not be the best post on how to increase your blog's traffic. I have just shared here how I built traffic to my blog.

1. After creating a blog, send a mail to all your contacts so that they would come to know about your blog. This is the best way to announce to others about your blog.
2. Swap your blog title and post title for better SEO results.
3. Write quality posts that would attract readers. If someone visits your blog make sure that he/she doesn't leave the blog without reading the full post. Furnish some information that would keep the readers interested.
4. Add social bookmarking buttons to each of your blog posts so that they can share it among their network of friends.
5. Build links with other websites and blogs so that you would get readers from others websites and blogs.
6. Submit your blog to atleast major blog directories.

These are some of the things that I followed to get a traffic of more than 100 unique visitors daily. I once again remind you that these are not the only way to increase your visitors but these are the steps that I followed to get the traffic that I am getting now.

100th Post: 12740 Visitors in 6 Months

Hi reader friends. This is my 100th post and this is the first time I am writing my blogging experiences in this blog. Last February one of my friends told me how to write a blog and gave me few tips to earn money through blog. Thereon I have written posts on different topics. But only few posts bring me traffic daily. At the end of April I got page rank 3 from Google. After that I started submitting my blog to sites offering paid reviews that I came across. Some of the sites did not approve and some rejected me at first submission. But some sites like ebuzzing, blogsvertise, bloggerwave, smorty, buyblogreviews, loudlaunch, payperpost..etc., approved my blog and offered me paid posts to write in my blog. Till date I have around $130 in my paypal account and around $100 yet to receive. I got most of the money from ebuzzing because they pay in euros. They paid a maximum of 60 euros for writing a single post. Its a European based website and other European language bloggers can also write for them. All other sites have given me just one or two posts till now. Even though I did not get more than 5 paid posts from any site, ebuzzing has paid me more compared to other sites. Currently I am getting more than 100 unique visitors per day from throughout the world but still sites like socialspark, blogdistributor, payu2blog, reviewme have rejected my blog giving different reasons. If someone who can provide support on this issue please comment on this post so that I can benefit. If you are a beginner in blogging and looking to make some cash out of it then I advise you not to forget the sites that I have mentioned above. Happy blogging.

Yahoo is closely followed by Bing which also has around 10% of the search engine traffic. One of the graphs show that Google and Bing have more traffic in 2010 as compared against 2009.
