Don’t Waste Traffic !!
There seems to be quite a number of ways to increase traffic to your blog/website, but trying to actually get that traffic seems to be a huge challenge for a lot of online marketers. So I would just like to talk about a few simple ways to increase your traffic for FREE…..
You will have to be consistent and put in a lot of effort to build up a steady stream of targeted traffic to your blog. It is a process, as if everything related to building a successful business online. Increasing blog traffic does not have to be difficult, but you want to make sure you are using the correct strategies that can get you the best results.
The Easiest Way to Increase Blog Traffic – Free
Before you try a hundred and one methods to increase blog traffic, it’s important to make sure your website is search engine optimized. This is one area where many online marketers fall short, and just a few quick adjustments can make a significant change in your site rankings.
If you optimize your blog for the search engines appropriately and strategically, you’ll find you’ll be able to increase blog traffic at a much easier and rapid pace.
Your goal is to drive traffic with using long tail keyword phrases. Long tail keywords are simply phrases that are much longer, more specific keyword phrases that attract very specific types of visitors.
To increase blog traffic, begin by going after long tail keyword phrases that are easier to rank for. Make sure each individual page of your blog is well optimized for your chosen long-tail keyword phrase, and that each page has a very specific call-to-action.
These two important steps should be taken before any other traffic driving strategy. That will help your blog establish itself with the major search engines resulting in higher page rank results.

Just as important as increasing blog traffic is converting blog traffic with a specific call to action. Without a strong call-to-action, increasing blog traffic is useless. So make sure every page and post has a call to action that moves your visitors one step closer to opting in, subscribing, or purchasing from you.
The next step is to look for ways to tap into your competitor’s blog traffic. Look for top sites related to your niche that you can leave comments on, create trackbacks, or even become a guest blogger on. These are all very effective ways to raise your page rank and increase blog traffic.
As I mentioned in the beginning of this article, there are a limitless number of ways to increase blog traffic. Do not neglect the power of search engine optimization because without it, any marketing methods you use will only be made less effective. If you are not taking advantage of specific long tail keyword phrases, you’re missing out on a lot of free blog traffic.
Other methods for increasing blog traffic include article marketing, social media marketing, and video marketing. As you are creating backlinks to your blog by adding content to these sites, if you are able to optimize the title of your article or video, it will increase your views for your keyword phrase.
As you can see, many online marketing strategies work because they leverage search engine optimization. That’s why keyword research is the most important step you can take toward increasing blog traffic.
If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to go back and optimize your blog posts and pages for specific phrases, and add a strong call to action. At the core of creating a successful blog is your ability to attract and convert.
