7 Tips on How to Increase Your Blog Traffic

Do you have a blog that you feel need some reader or need some popularity? If so your blog is suffering from a lack of blog traffic, this is a few tips from my blogging experience thus far. Noted that I just been blogging for about less than 3 months and at first I was so crazy about making money through blogging by taking paid posting etc but this kind of paid posting will smack you page ranking. Oppss...off topic a little bit :)

So here's my 7 tips to increase blog traffic

1. Publicize your link: Give your link to your friends! Join relevant blogging groups such as Socialspark, etc. If you belong to any forums, you should provide a link to your blog, maybe even include one in your signature so it is easily visible.

2. Comment on other people's blogs: Make relevant comments to avoid being hated by other fellow bloggers. Commenting allows you to become better known in the blogging community. You do not need to provide your link in the comment as your profile (for example blogger) automatically contains your link which helps increase your blog page rank (and if it isn't automatic like blogger, it should ask for your homepage anyways). Additionally, most bloggers like myself read all of their comments and may visit your blog to get some background on who you are.

3. Communicate with your reader by setting up message box: You can get message box widget from Shoutbox etc for free and it easily to leave an instant message at your blog.

4. Link Referral: I have recently used Link Referral and have gotten tons of traffic as a result. After becoming a member of link referral your blog gets ranked. The higher your blog is ranked, the more likely other people are to visit your blog. You increase your blog ranking by visiting other blogs, writing blog reviews, labeling favorite blogs, and by forum posts.



5.Blogexplosion: I have never used a traffic exchange program with more success. I have used Blog Explosion for a one month and it is currently my largest source of blog traffic. It is very easy to do. Registration is free and you get credits based on other blogs you visit. Those credits are used to guarantee traffic in return.



6. Traffic Swarm. This is another traffic exchange program but I ranked it the lowest among other program that I tried such as Link Referral and Blog Explosion. The method is similar to Link Referral and Blog Explosion but the result is quite slow. It will take some time for traffic to come.

7. Entrecard. You have probably noticed an Entrecard widget on my sidebar (Top upper left). Not only do I think the Entrecard adds some jive to any blog, but Entrecard is an excellent way to increase your traffic. All members of Entrecard get placed in a directory so it is easily located by other members. Entrecard also allows you to advertise on other blogs.
