Question by ohmishka: How do you increase blog traffic?
How do you get more people to see your blog?

Answer by loki
Well the first thing I would do is to post my blog posts to social sites, like digg, stumbleupon, reddit, mixx and so on.

Then you might want to comment on blogs that are in the same niche as yours.

You can get quite a bit of traffic from Yahoo answers. Say someone asks a question like “how do I get traffic for my blog?”, now there are about 50 ways, so you suggest 3 ways. Then you refer them to a series of articles that you wrote about how to draw more traffic to your blog.

Just like I am about to do.

There are literally thousands of free s.e.o’s.. and free classifieds to place your website.
On your browser, type in free search engine… You will find alot of places to place your wesite.
Also type in free classifieds… and start submitting there too.
Be prepared to recieve ALOT of JUNK mail afterward though. Everyone is trying to sell something, and thats how they find people. with your e-mail address.
Good Luck!

Answer by juliepelletier
Being and individualist, I wasn’t too tempted to follow your link.

Here are my observations relating to your question:
- You don’t have tags on all your posts.
- I didn’t see a tag cloud.
- Your stories are all bunched up on the same page. You should use summaries or excerpts that link to the full story.
- You have no incoming links.
- The site is only 2 days old.

The following links could maybe help you a bit, but you’ll have to be patient:

Question by Samual L.: How can I get better organic traffic into my arcade site?
I’ve done traffic exchanges, directory submitting, SEO, article writing, E-mail refering, premium link exchanging. So far link referal has helped the most. It grabs about 20 uniques a day if I spend 10 minutes on their site, but I’m out of idea’s. Since google is updating their Pagerank soon I need to really get noticed quickly. This is a serious question, but is there anything else that I can do that will easily bring in organic traffic?

Answer by imisidro
There’s really no magic formula. Just keep trying to do all the things you’ve been doing – again and again (starting first with the most effective).

Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it’s easier said than done.

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s “Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day.” http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $ 650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article ” How To Sell More on the Web: 30 Tips To Increase Conversion Rates For An Ecommerce Site ” http://www.powerhomebiz.com/092006/ecommerce.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:

Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/…
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/
