Marketing your blog to get traffic
Good content does not always translates to good traffic. Infact, this is most common problem that a blogger faces. With limited resources it is not always possible to invest on display advertising on Google text ads (SEM) to get traffic. Paid marketing activities would definitely drive instant traffic… But watch it… it’s not the sustained traffic. Fluctuations would be immense.
Let’s explore some free to do options that can help to build sustained traffic for your website or blog. Before, we look at these marketing options, let me be very clear – you got to be very patient in implementing these tips because the result aren’t instant.
Another important assumption to begin with is – “nobody knows your blog”. It’s you baby and it is your responsibility to introduce it to people. Don’t be shy. Promoting a blog is sometime a shameless job.
1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – The first critical activity is to optimize the blog or website in consistent with major search engines.
Better rank on the search engines would ensure consistent traffic.
2. Submit your blog or website URL to search engine directories:
Google - http://www.google.com/addurl/
3. Submit your website to various directories.
You may choose free tools to bulk submit your website - http://www.onewaytextlink.com – They offer bulk submission of website to various directory in lieu of a text link on your website or blog.
4. Write quality articles explaining the essence of your website or blog & submit at maximum possible portals. http://www.articlesbase.com/join - they offer bulk article submission free.
5. Participate in other blogs and forum – This another way to increase visibility on the internet (www). Try to find website/blogs/forum discussing topics of your interest (assuming you would also cover them in your blog). Participate and leave you web address in the signatures.
6. Be super active on Social networking sites – Find likeminded people and update them with your latest content. Many of us are extremely lazy in doing so. Don’t worry… Use http://dlvr.it – it will link your RSS feeds to your twitter/facebook and Linkedin account.
