Do you have trouble getting targeted web traffic to your blog? Let’s just say hypothetically you have just got someone to create a nice looking blog, perhaps paid good money for it too and you’ve started posting nice things about your best home based internet business too. But you don’t want it to be just that, a nice looking blog. You do want more people other than your family and perhaps your next door neighbor visit this blog. In this article, I am going to share with you 5 great tips to get targeted web traffic to your blog. I am focusing on areas where I think, some people are not familiar with and others totally unaware of.
1. The Title Tag
Most people already know that the post title plays an important part in how well your blog post will rank in search engines. Besides the post content, this is going to help you bring targeted web traffic to your blog and ultimately your internet home business. So the words or phrases you choose which should contain your main keyword must provide a hint of what you are going to write and entice the reader to continue reading it. If he does that, you have achieved the goal of the title. Or have you?
There is actually a way to change your title specifically for the search engine without altering what the readers see and what you want them to see. The answer lies in the ‘All in One SEO Pack’ which is found in your wordpress blog. If you understand that search engines look at this title tag, you can use it to your advantage. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.
2. Submit To Directories
Submitting your blog to a lot of wesbite directories is time consuming but it is very important in getting one way links and improving link popularity. Remember with each directory that you submit to, it takes you a step closer in ranking high in search engines. For submitting to RSS Directories I recommend getting a free Firefox plugin called ‘Submit’em Now’ to automate this submission. It is especially useful for marketers with more than one blog to submit.
3. Social Bookmarking
Almost every marketer I know use social bookmarking so I guess there isn’t a need to explain what this is and how it benefits us. Essentially it allows the flexibility in which anyone who visits and likes a site can easily click on their favorite bookmarking site and bookmark it. What I use for my blog is a service called Onlywire.com. It has 18 bookmarking sites and you just need to spend a one-time effort to join these 18 sites. Then each time after you have finished a blogpost, you just login to Onlywire.com and post once to bookmark all 18 bookmarking sites. It’s really that simple. Of course this is a free site and the paid ones would give you more bookmarking sites.
4. Squidoo and HubPage
A Squidoo and HubPage are quite similar in that it lets you write and focus on a specific topic. Google loves them especially HubPage, which links back to your blog. The good thing about Squidoo lens and Hubpage is that they allow you to bring in your RSS Feed. So when you update your blog, both your lens and HubPage get updated too. The same visitor who goes to your lens is able to find your RSS feed to your blog too. In this way, you will get more targeted web traffic coming to your blog.
5. Create A Checklist
I recommend creating a simple checklist or small excel spreadsheet listing down some of these ways and commit to a plan to follow and execute it daily or weekly. You may already be doing a number of other different ways to bring targeted web traffic, but more importantly, this checklist allows you to monitor your own results. Keep those that work and discard others that don’t and eventually you will have the most perfect plan there is in bringing huge amount of web traffic to your blog.
I may have given you some nice ideas to get more web traffic to your blog, but it takes time to make this a reality especially if your blog is new. You also need to put in much effort in doing weekly blogposts, hubpages and daily blog comments and others in your checklist. If you follow this plan consistently, be prepared for stoppable high targeted web traffic coming to your blog and ultimately to your best home based internet business.
