5 SIMPLE tips to increase YOUR blog vistors for your Declining Traffic

September 1st 2009 23:58
increase blog traffic



If you are building a business and you chose blogging as one of your  promoting method you need  to have high traffic and from the right kind of visitors to visit your website.


Every blogger aims to see their traffic rise  and they want it to happen very quickly so they get sucked and fall all the traffic generating techniques being advertised everywhere that asks in return to have a link on their blog   so they will end up with very huge numbers of badges buttons that links to other sites with really low - down  traffic with few  visitors a day. I had many of those days It was so depressing .But as you will  found out from this post  that it can be done and visitors will increase with time and proper efforts...and it is not that hard once you know the secret.


getting more visitors to your website is really depend at most  on the words you use and where you place them than the software  or services you select to promote your site. It has to do with what words people are likely to use to search in the search engines ..

So here  are some tips on how to increase your site traffics with carefully  planned words and phrases .


1-know your blog trends

know your blog ,analyze it . decide who you want to target and what keywords to focus on  .Then search the search engines for your keywords and tags to see how people are searching for them and use that phrase they are using and carefully place them  your site in general   and in your post  in particular. Try to integrated that phrase  in the title and   in your post repeatedly  but in wise and natural way .  So it is always advised to not write a post and then think about how to promote it ,it is the other way around you  design and promote your post as you are writing it. For example in this post I'M FOCUSED on those visitors who are looking would enter the phrases "more visitors" or "increase traffic"  in the search engines, that's why i used these phrases several times till now. 


Also use the words or phrase that you focus on  in your blog description, and about me page, because the more you use a keyword , google will recognize your site more for it and it will rank high in search results for that keywords. 

There are several  keyword suggesting tools some are free and other not ,my favorite is  google  adwords keyword tool,it is free and it knows google best


2-Take  advantage of the current events
Whenever there is a new events  or new trends  that spreading fast and taking the minds of the public , they will search more about it and if you tried to thought some of it in your topics in a way that serve you in your niche you will get a higher chance to drive more people to land on your blog. For example if you have a business blog and there was this famous athlete or team who lost on a big match you can write about what  business  lessons  can be taken from his loss . Another example is when a new blockbuster movie come out  ,you can explain about how the promotional method helped in making it big or if the movie if  applicable use the film story to help you in making a point.

This tips to giv you the chance try to catch  as much of the rush of traffic as you can so that when the decline comes you’ve got new subscribers/readers to your blog


3-Know your Trends
website traffic has its good days and bad days .Most niches have normal rises and falls in traffic. For example if  traveling or hotels niches  blogs  will have more  traffic during holidays then might go down.

What all you need is to recognize your opportunities  to maximize the rises and to minimize the falls.

Plan your post well, if you are writing about  a certain product for example  a some  electronic gadget  you can make articles about the perfect gifts or discounts or something like that during holidays and national events times. And right  after the holidays season you can write about a usage guide for those who bought your product.

Google has this wonderful service called Google Trends that allow you to analyze the seasonal trend for the keyword you you want to know about.


4-Post well

 Post great content. Be Relevant and Useful to your Readers. know your goal in reaching out to them , do you want solve their problems,communicating with them intellectually,or entertaining.  Then write about that.

Post regularly  BECAUSE search engine recognize when ever you have updated your site and it crawl into it so try to post every week better every day( at least at the beginning) to train google to visit you regularly other wise it will neglect your site and your blog will b ranked very low

5- put more efforts in Promotional plan
Now after you finished writing and destining  your article ,you can’t just  expect that ‘they will come’. Sometimes you need to get out there and promote yourself.
You do not need a sophisticated plan to promote your blog it is simply means that you need to invest into social media sites like Twitter, commenting on other blogs, running a competition on your blog,writing guest post on another blog.

Finally do not give up just keep on learning about your target and traffic, find out what if there is a reason your traffic going down  then try to over come it.

Writing about what everyone else is writing about may score you greater hits, but then what's the point?

Trends only change when people go against them.

Hi Janet....
Welcome Janet
Actually I saw many of popular orbeler are up to date in theire posts whenever there is something good to talk about they will sprinkle few of the most searched keywords in their article, although most of the time it just comes naturally as their blogs mostly about the current events and their view.

Thank Janet for being here and fpr your precious comment

Hi Spring-Heeled Jack
you probably right but ....it is always good to have your day in the current event at least for your readers...but it is not a must..
THANK YOU Spring-Heeled Jack


Hi Wilson
Welcome ...
BESIDE THE POINT I Mentioned in the article any thing you do to get notice is good , submit you article to your my yahoo page, to digg it and other social book marks. Also if you sign in into a forum that deals with your niche and then be proactive there and get known for your help after that you can put links to your blogs in your topic and signature if OK with that forum and drive some of the traffic from there ..and so on ..
i hop that help.

Thank you Wilson for stopping by and for your valuable question.

Cool advice Sam - and thanks for the FB add - I knew I had seen the name somewhere and thought it was on Orble and now I know

Cool tips - I do try to just write what interests me and what I read or hear or view that grabs my attention. Sometimes it is current stuff and this does go better - just look at my article on Farmville and Farmtown on Facebook - this went crazy with still over 600 individual readers a day on something that was just interesting to me. It appears I kind of got in first and Google hits went crazy with it.

Another tip - sex sells!! Seriously, it does not have to be naked people but make sure your first pic that will be your display pic for your article LOOKS good - it attracts people - and MAKE SURE you use the title section for your pic when uploading - I get heaps of visitors through Google Images - it is better to have original pics as these end up higher in searches - but if you use another pic you have taken from Google Images - CROP it or alter it in some way - it is then classified as original.
