How To Get a Basic Traffic For Blog

TRAFFIC FOR YOUR BLOG

 

There are plenty of free ways to get traffic to your site, and you should use a good mixture of a bunch of them. We’ve already covered SEO so I’ll spare you that explanation. Here are a couple of others that will help in your traffic.

ARTICLE MARKETING

Since you’re already writing articles or getting them outsourced anyway, this is a good source. You can submit to various article directories to get traffic to your site. They give you free article space while you get free traffic through a bio box.

The bio box will have a short message about you and you will be able to have usually two links, one to an article on your site and one to your site’s main page.

The linking inside the bio box is really important; don’t fall into the trap to let people “click here”. As a general rule, you should probably link to the page by its topic.

WEB 2.0

Another set of authority sites would be those famous Web 2.0 (or user contributed content sites) such as Squidoo and HubPages. You can quickly and easily create a “site” on their site, and using their ranking, you can link to your site. Squidoo is pretty conservative on linking, while HubPages isn’t, but HubPages is more open about its topics.

Be warned, though, these sites are user moderated, and if they feel your site is spammy, you will get reported and your presence on the Web 2.0 sites will be deleted.

OTHER TRAFFIC METHODS

You can get into other methods for your traffic, such as link, banner, or traffic exchanges and even Pay per Click. You can also purchase traffic directly.

While I have stated before that you should be willing to give up some cash, to ask that you give up hundreds of dollars on a relatively new blog won’t accomplish anything.

Pay per Click is a potentially dangerous game and requires some serious planning for it to be done correctly, so you should read up on that before trying it.
