4 Ways To Blog To Increase Blog Traffic

Posted: Dec 28, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

There are different ways to blog to get more blog traffic. The most common ways people blog to get a lot of traffic from is doing reviews, how-to tutorials, blogging about search engine optimization etc. Not everyone is interested in doing those things, but everyone wants to see a steady increase of traffic coming to their blogs.

1. An easy way to get blog post ideas is to have a poll. Come up with something interesting that will require people to leave a comment. It could be a real hot, current event topic or something a bit controversial which isn't always considered bad press, but will certainly get a discussion going.

2. Having a contest on your blog is sure to increase traffic and get bloggers commenting. Include contest entries that require a person to mention your contest on bookmarking sites like Stumble Upon or on their own blogs. Think of as many different ways for others to help you spread the word.

3. Join or have your own blog tour. What is a blog tour? A blog tour is much like a concert tour where different cities are visited on pre-scheduled days, but in this case blogs are visited. The blog host comes up with a particular topic and each blog participant writes about that topic. At the end of each blog posts, the blog hosts will thank the blogger for their time and announce where and when the next blog will be visited.

This is a great way to increase blog traffic and get new readership. If you're hosting a blog tour and you have regular commenters ask them to participate in your tour as this would be one way to show your appreciation and give them some Google juice.

4. Join or have a blog carnival. This is similar to a blog tour. Again, you can come up with a particular topic or theme. You will then have bloggers submit their blog link about the topic or theme you have chosen. You compile the lists of links and post them to your blog.

You can do a blog carnival on your own, but there is a community called BlogCarnival.com where you can be a host and a participant. There's tons of information on this site and it's an excellent way to find new people to network with and find blogs that you may be interested in.

These are just four ideas to get more blog traffic. Being consistent, providing quality content, promoting and being interactive with your blog commenters will always be the driving force behind a blog's success.

Getting these links is much more effective than reciprocal linking where two parties agree to exchange links with one another.
