Sep 17, 2008

You create a blog or a website to attract the attention of like-minded people to the extent possible. Since you have hundreds and thousands of competitors in your area of expertise, it is indeed a challenge to attract more visitors to your blog.

Luckily there are these 10 proven ways to increase traffic and that too economically:

  1. Sharpen your niche:  Provide specific information in your blog as opposed to giving generic information. When you move from specific to generic, your blog will win the attention of visitors seeking answers to their specific problems or queries.
  2. Post reviews: Another workable way to attract more visitors to your blog is to post reviews. Voice your honest opinion about the products or services concerning your niche area. Since people seek to have the worth for their money, they would be interested in honest opinion and thus would visit your blog more often.
  3. Incorporate a forum signature: Join some Internet forums of your niche area and leave your forum signature where you give visitors some useful information. For instance, your niche-quality signature can be something like “All the tips and secrets unleashed about online copywriting!
    http://mycopywritingsite.com”. This will act as a mini ad and people concerned might feel compelled to click your site for more information.
  4. Incorporate an e-mail signature: Ensure you copy your signature on to your e-mail program. This way, you will allow yourself a chance to promote your blog with each of your e-mail.
  5. Post comments: If you are visiting other blogs and find something useful to share with others, post your comments along with your name, email and website address or blog address. This will allow interested folks to click on your blog to know more about you.
  6. Trade links with other sites: Though this technique has gained a bad reputation in recent years because of the ‘trade links with me” spam, it still is a workable technique when employed intelligently. If you are a part of respected site owners’ link partners group, then you gain the same reputation as the site owners and their visitors automatically become your blog visitors as well.
  7. Provide freebies: Offer your visitors something extra at no cost and people would visit your blog more often.
  8. Use Adwords ads to direct visitors to your free products or admired posts: Run your AdWords that link to your free products or popular post instead of having it linked to your site of blog. If the AdWords direct your visitors to free products or other popular posts, it allows them to have more information about you.
  9. Use an easy and simple way for readers to share: Allow visitors to bookmark your blog in the simplest manner possible; this will allow them to come back to your blog later.
  10. Send trackbacks: By sending trackbacks, you get highly germane links on other sites. This can result in hundreds of new visitors for your blog and also regular long-term readers.
