4 Ways To Explode Blog Traffic For Free!
By Michael Parker | February 16, 2009
Without a steady flow of traffic, no online business will last for very long and this is something all merchants are already familiar with.
Blogs are without a doubt, one of the best online publishing platforms so during the course of this article we’ll be looking at four ways in which to use them to drive traffic to your site.
RSS Feeds
Most blogging software such as Wordpress come with a built in RSS feed, which is the equivalent to having a newsletter subscription service, but of course is 100% free and requires no details to be passed over from the subscriber. Most people just let their RSS feed sit there on their new blogs but what you must do is submit your RSS feed URL to as many RSS directories as possible. Therefore, when you post new content on your blog, this is syndicated to your RSS feed and the directories display your most recent posts. This is one of the easiest ways to get immediate exposure every time you post content.
Commenting on Blogs
If you’re looking for targeted traffic and some solid one way backlinks to boost your search engine listings, then try commenting on other people’s blogs leaving a link back to your website. Providing you post relevant and useful content/comments on other people’s blogs, the blog owner will “approve” your comments and you link will then become live. This can bring direct traffic and of course help with your rankings in the search engines.
Guest Bloggers
There are many advantages to having guest bloggers post their content on your site. Apart from the credibility of your blog going way up (depending on who the guest actually is), you are forming a mini joint venture where the guest is likely to tell his/her own audience about the material on your site, plus you may be able to work out a deal where you can return the favor and get access to their blog audience by appearing as a guest writer on their blog.
Trackback links
Essentially, a trackback allows a blogger to know when their material or content has been mentioned or referenced on another blog. In other words, if you for example posted an extremely good post, someone else could be impressed enough to write about you post and leave a trackback which then informs readers that they’ve been writing about your post. Of course, it’s easy to see how this can result in your site receiving higher volumes of traffic but in addition to this, it creates yet another backlink to your blog. Admittedly, there are certain occasions which are more suitable for this approach than others, for example when you have some information which may be significantly helpful to the original blog.
No matter what you’ve been led to believe, it’s perfectly possible to get a phenomenal amount of traffic to your site almost instantaneously when you have the proper information. The four steps mentioned above will certainly help, but in reality they are just the beginning.
