Increase Blog Traffic - 3 Simple Tips

I must say how to increase blog traffic is one of the most common questions asked by a lot of people but are they doing anything about it? Do they know what to do to increase it? You cannot simply complain about not having enough blog traffic because you have not done anything to increase it.

Ask yourself these questions first:

Do you have good content on your website or blog?

This is one of the major factor that even I myself are facing. It's not easy to come out with good content if you are someone who don't like writing. The simple solution is to get ghost writers to write those articles for you but you have to fork out the money. Another solution is, depending on your website or blog theme, search the top 10 websites, take down notes and summarise it and write an article about it. Make it a point to produce 2 quality articles a day and in one month you will have 60 articles. Eventually you will have a content rich blog or website. It takes time but it can be done. 2 articles is not that difficult. Even if you do have good content, you still need to make it known.

Are you writing according to market demand?

A lot of people simply fire up their blog and start writing without giving this a thought. Are you writing for yourself only or you are hoping that someone will want to read as well? If you are writing for someone, you must make sure that someone can find your article. The purpose of doing search engine optimisation is for long term traffic. You can't expect immediate traffic. If you want immediate traffic, using Pay per click is one of the fastest.

Have you make it known?

After you have done it, submit them to blog directories and article directories like Ezine. Submit also to Web 2.0 websites like facebook, digg, stumbleupon, technorati, squidoo etc... You will soon get increased web traffic but whether it will be consistent will depend on the quality of your content, whether it will attract your readers or visitors to come back again.

Start asking yourself these 3 questions and if you can answer it, I can be sure you will get the increased blog traffic you want.
