Effective Ways to Generate Huge Blog Traffic
We all realize how important it is to get more blog traffic. Being a blogger the most important works you need to do are content writing and trying to get traffic to your blog. When you publish articles you get some good amount of blog traffic but you don not get that much blog traffic because you don’t give much effort in some key areas. Here in this post we will talk about getting huge blog traffic by working with Promotion, SEO and SMO.
Important Notes:
- Content is King no doubt, but Promotion is the queen because without any promotion our article will not reach the right audience; and in that case, our works will not be seen by anyone.
- Getting organic traffic is always good as it’s a long-term traffic source. And so Search Engine Optimization can do a lot good to rank for important keywords.
Again, it’s not always easy to rank for each and every keyword and in that case the main source of traffic is social media. So, Social Media Optimization is really important.
In this article I’ll share some tips which will finally help you to increase your blog traffic:
1. Good content and grammar:
Everyone likes good content and so you should always find good blog ideas and write unique content for your readers. Then you should determine whether your content is well composed with exceptional sentence structure, punctuation, obviously fitting spelling and grammar or not. Provided that, employ a supervisor to tidy things up for you. Relying on the sort of altering included, editors may be expensive; however, having clean and well-composed articles will assist your site get the credibility that it needs.
Always value your content because it will not just help your web index standing but will also make your webpage as a great place to get updated. This will increase engagement on your blog and will also bring returning blog traffic.
2. Continuous Promotion:
Promotion through Twitter
One of the fastest and effective ways to get traffic is using Twitter for promotion. Tweeting is quick and simple to do -and your trust is that some of your supporters will “re-tweet” it and will make it reach more people (considerably more than just your “follower base”). You can use JustRetweet to get more retweets and blog traffic from Twitter.
Using Video to Promote
Not always but sometime you can use a fast 30-40 second ad of your article. You can post it to YouTube which will not just draw blog traffic but will also make an additional link back to your article on your blog.
Using Facebook & LinkedIn
Status may as well head off to every last trace of the social sites you are interfaced to. Some will even give you a chance to set up auto-connect. At the time you declare your new post on Facebook it mechanically tweets the greater part of your follower. You will discover that the social site is driving traffic to your blog. Again, you can use LinkedIn to drive traffic and heavy leads too.
Participate in other blogs
You can participate in other blogs either by blog commenting or guest blogging. Either way is effective and drives great amount of genuine readers and blog traffic. You just need to be active there through your comments. You need to try to stand out in the crowd and engage with the people over there.
3. Pitch it to another Blogger:
Keep a record of different bloggers who have High Traffic Blog Sites. Meet them or try to contact them via social sites or mail. Keep a good touch with them and once you prepare something of genuine quality shoot out a message by offering them to post it. Now since you had a good relation with the blogger he will take care of you and will finally post your article in his blog. And this will help you to get traffic from his blog.
Again, you can also make good connections and share content of a top blogger with your followers. If you continuously do so, that blogger will also do the same for you.
4. Make it easy for people to share:
When you actualize the plans above, you should to be getting some blog traffic. Now you need to make it simple for them to share your content with others. The least demanding path to do this is by the utilization of incorporating social media buttons with your blog.
There are various plugins that will do this for you. Anyhow I emphatically propose that you don’t over compensate it! A couple of basically set catches or choices are helpful. You can try social plugins like Flare, Socialize and WP-Socialite.
5. Search Engine Optimization:
As I said above, getting organic traffic is always good as it’s a long-term traffic source. Search Engine Optimization can do a lot good to rank for important keywords. SEO is not hard but some bloggers don’t work on it as they think it’s hard. Simply, SEO means optimizing your content for search engines.
Steps you need to go with to get a perfect SEO article and drive blog traffic:
- Find a topic which is mostly searched by people by using Google Trends.
- Write a unique piece of content with detailed info to discuss that very topic.
- Find the best keyword which is mostly used by users to search that topic.
- Use Adwords Tool to find the most searched but low competitive keyword.
- Then install a free plugin like Yoast WP SEO or paid plugin like SEOPressor.
- Now optimize your article by using that plugin. This is On-page optimization.
- Then do guest posting and blog commenting to get dofollow link to that article.
It is always great when a low competitive but mostly searched keyword is targeted. If your content is unique and has good quality links from other blogs to that article then your post will easily rank in Search Engines. And you will start getting huge blog traffic.

The Best Traffic Tip and Strategy
I just realize that what we “average” bloggers normally do to get the traffic that we have now is, write a great blog post -> share it on social networks -> do some little bit of blog commenting to drive traffic to that particular post and if possible, do some little bit of guest posting for some valuable sites. And this is how we do it over and over and over again… am I right or am I right? Just by doing blog commenting and taking advantages of all social networks can indeed help boost traffic and as well as give you backlinks, but have you thought of getting some extra traffic and quality backlinks (with little less effort) with that lovely post of yours?
When I started blogging newly, the only source of getting my traffic was from social networks, guest blogging and blog commenting. Don’t get me wrong, doing just that gave me great deal of traffic but like “Oliver Twist”, I still feel that there are some more ways to utilize that same post to give me even more traffic. Time passes by and I did some good research then saw something, implemented it and it worked wonders :) . Are you still asking or wondering what this something is? I won’t say because it’s a secret :) ok, I’ll tell you this little secret because I really want you to get from that traffic as well ;) . This simple secret is none other than turning your blog post to pdf and distributing it to some directories. And what are the directories? In some few, you’ll know.

Greatest Traffic Tip Ever
Do you know what I always tell people searching for valuable web traffic and backlinks?

That’s a fact , but by turning your blog posts into pdf file and submitting it to some valuable pdf and e-book directories, you can prevent such actions from taking place. Yes! With this process, you can get long term traffic even if you’re not online for many months or you stop blogging. That’s how effective this PDF stuff works.

Web Traffic and where you can get them?
A lot have been said about web traffic, every webmaster and blogger knows the important of web traffic to a website/blog. Without web traffic to your site, that site is as good as dead no matter how well designed it may look. There are different types of web traffic and also different sources, while some focus on one more than the other I will recommend otherwise in this article.
There are basically three different types of web traffic namely organic traffic (from search engines), direct traffic (when someone directly types your site address on the browser) and referral traffic (from links all over the internet). It is ideal to drive traffic to your site from all three different types/sources of web traffic because search engines see them differently and have different valuations for them as well.
Types of Web Traffic
Organic Traffic: Organic web traffic is the type of traffic that comes when your article is found on the search engines and followed to your site. This is the best form of web traffic as even Google and other search engines have confirmed. Organic web traffic is considered most important and often valued more than any other type of web traffic. It also has a higher CPC than the other types of web traffic named earlier in any PPC campaign.
How to get Organic Traffic: To get organic traffic you need to publish quality articles on your site, optimize them properly with good keyword usage. When you rank high on the search engine results then you’ll surely see a lot of organic traffic to your site. This type of web traffic requires a lot of hard work and takes time as well, but I assure you if you learn the intricacies of writing a post that will immediately appear on the first page of Google search result or any other search engine you will see how easy it is to drive traffic to your site for free.
Referral Traffic: Referral traffic is yet another type of web traffic as a result of the backlinks you have built all over the internet, when someone follows your link from another website to your website this type of traffic is termed referral traffic. This could be as a result of links you left via blog commenting, guest posting, social media sharing etc. Referral traffic constitutes the second/third source of traffic to my blog after organic traffic.
How to get Referral Traffic: Referral traffic as I explained is as a result of the links you left all over the internet as a result of blog commenting (especially on blogs with CommentLuv plugin), guest posts, social media shares etc. It could also be email signatures, forum signatures, link exchanges, content curation like from Scoop.it, from lists like List.ly etc.
So if you want to improve your referral web traffic then you have to take these things seriously, don’t concentrate only on your own site, help others promote their site by commenting, sharing and guest posting, that way you can attract same favor and the more links you have out there the better for you general site traffic. Remember not to spam as Google won’t hesitate to de-index your from their search engine. Please avoid all black hat SEO methods, concentrate on the types of link building strategies I have shared on this blog in the past.
Another type of traffic would’ve been the Social Networks traffic but most times its little and is easily parsed as referral traffic. But if you have a very active social media page, you can drive huge amount of traffic from there to your site. Do not ignore the potentials of the social media in promoting any brand or product in this case your website.
Direct Traffic: Direct traffic is yet another type of web traffic but not from search engines as organic web traffic discussed above. When someone directly types your site address on the browser address bar and hit the keyboard enter button and arrives at your site, such traffic is what is known as direct web traffic. This type of traffic is mostly associated with popular websites, when you have promoted your site very well and have built yourself a brand then people can remember the name of your site easily and visit your site even without seeing the link anywhere. This type of web traffic often constitutes the second/third largest source of traffic to my blog after organic traffic.
How to get Direct Traffic: To get more direct traffic to your website you have a lot of branding and promotion to do. You have to become popular for people to remember your name. Let me let you in to a secret that works always. Print your website name on a T-shirt and share it to your friends let them wear it always and people will see it and over time will remember the name. You can also create stickers; a little charity will also be good. Create banners; use your site name as your Facebook cover image etc.
General advice: As more and more of your contents are being published, try as much as possible to adequately promote your contents, build links the genuine way and over time you will begin to reap the result of your hard work. Publish only quality articles, well optimized for search engines and engage productively on the social networks, join as much as you can handle and make new friends, join groups and help others to be helped as well.
