Drive Traffic to Your Blog

Do you have a great blog...that no one is reading? As bloggers, we all started somewhere and have wondered, "How can I drive more readers to my fantastic blog?" Here are some great tips to bring readers to your blog.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blog
  • Quality Writing
  • Consistency
  1. Step 1
    Write Consistently

    Write Daily or at least consistently. Readers want new material to read and if you take frequent breaks, that is a fast way to lose a reader's interest.

  2. Step 2

    Visit other blogs that are similar to yours and make comments. Not only will you get to know those bloggers, but chances are their readers will decide to visit your blog as well.

  3. Step 3

    Join Entrecard. It's a tool for finding other's blogs and advertising your own blog. There are pros and cons with Entrecard, but all in all I do think it is a useful site to belong to.

  4. Step 4
    Twitter Helps You Network With Other Bloggers

    Market your blog. Post your new blog posts on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. In fact, you can have your blog posts set to auto-post to facebook and twitter with the Networked Blogs Application and Twitterfeed. Add your blog link to your email signature and your signature on any message boards that you frequent.

  5. Step 5
    Bloggy Carnival

    Hold a giveaway. You can hold a giveaway any time, but the best time is during the Bloggy Carnivals, which are held quarterly in January, April, July and October, when you receive the most traffic to your giveaway. Make sure to also market your giveaway, by using the steps listed above.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not join Twitter just to set up your blog post to auto-post - no one will follow you.
