 How To Get More Traffic To Your Blog - VII

Having a couple of hundred visitors to your blog every day is the goal that many people are looking to achieve but there are a couple of points that I Think you should concentrate in order to get more traffic
1) Use social networking websites
2) Trade link for link
3) Background color

By using social networking websites like Facebook make a page for your blog and put highlights of your blog on it and try to update it regularly. Add friends of friends and invite them to be a part of that page or at least join your page.

Secondly Link exchange is also very important for every blog and website since it allows you to share web links of your friends and thus, as a result you get the desired targeted traffic that you are looking for. Link exchange makes it easy for search engines such as Google, Altavista, Mamma, Bing and many others to crawl to your web pages. It works on the principle that how many websites are directing links to your blog or website. The more websites and blogs directing towards your blog the higher you ranked in the SEO ranking and consequently the more traffic you get.

Another Thing that I would like to share with you is that according to a local survey websites and blogs that have light background and a dark highlighted text attract more people to read what they have it as a content of the blog or website. So as I mentioned in my recent posts try different backgrounds and templates for your website or blog in order to get the best for your blog/website. I personally recommend you to have light color background (Light gray, sky blue, or even white) for your blog because the black text written on the light background is prominent and is easily readable by the visitors and subscribers.Lastly make your every piece of written articles count use your comments referring your blog.

How To Get More Traffic To Your Blog - VI

Getting boat load of traffic to your blog is the dream of all bloggers. Internet marketing is one way to get traffic to your website. Although there  are many ways to do it free but one other method that requires small amount of your money is PPC (Pay Per Click) which  has been around for years and is continuing to grow. But if you are a new blogger and wanted to start PPC you should know a few early stage problems that you may suffer. I will describe a few of them in this article.

Problems for Pay Per Click advertising Campaigns

There are a few problems that a new advertiser may come across. One of them is not getting the desired traffic. I always mention in my tips that getting traffic is something thing but getting the desired relevant traffic should be your first aim, this could become a little difficult when you opt Google adwords and the keywords that you mention for your PPC ads does not relate to what you are providing to your visitors and subscribers.

The other problem that you may encounter as a starter is setting the cost of your ads. Setting the amount you agree to pay according to the profit you earn in return is important and sometimes can't be achieved effectively.

Solutions

Ask yourself what suitable keywords can define your blog or why the search is being performed and if the keywords used are what your site has to offer. There are many ways to improve the keywords optimization. The most effective of them is the one which is done using Google keywords search and finding out which are the keywords that are more positive to attract targeted traffic. And for second problem you should start with a small PPC amount and if goes well then follow PPC by spending more money in the way.

Note: There are many other websites that allow you to advertise your blog ads. List include Yahoo, Adbrite, Amazon and the list goes on and on. But social networking websites such as Facebook also allow you to advertise so take into consideration as well before making any other decision. I personally use the Google Adwords and recommend it to you too.

How To Get More Traffic To Your Blog-II

As mentioned in the previous post blogs are not meant to drag traffic by themselves, in fact You need to bring some traffic to your blog just as you bring customers to your new business. It is very important to keep adding content regularly. This is the tip that most of the people you would see be giving to you as the basics for getting traffic. To get people to visit your site, you need to go out and invite them, ask them to check out your blog. Here's is my experience of blogging for "The Time Waste Show":

a) Browse blogs on the similar niche and content and comment on their posts. When you comment don't forget to add your blog's URL in the signature. If your comment is relevant and catchy, readers of that blog may come check out yours too.

b) Approach other bloggers for a link exchange, this is best done with a friendly email. Introduce yourself, write a line or two about your blog, include your URL and offer the possibility of a link exchange. A link exchange is where you add their web address to your site on a page or section called "links" and they do the same for you.

c) Comment on blog posts.By commenting on others blog you may get attention of the people why visit the blog as well as the attention of the owner of the blog, again the idea is same comment should be catchy easy to read, comprehensive and informative at the same time.

d) Joining forums related to your blog is also an effective way to bring some more traffic to your website. If you're a writer, join forums and conversations for writers. Add some valuable comments and become a part of the community. Answer the questions (if you have an idea) about anything related to your topic and again add your website URL to the signature.

e) Expand your social network and utilize it as a deadly weapon for bringing more traffic.
