Attracting Traffic To A New Blog

Ok you’ve just launched your new blog so what do you do next? If you prepared for your launch correctly, you’ve written numerous articles in advance to post to your blog.

Is it time to sit back and watch the results of your pre-launch preparations?
Absolutely not! To do this would only waste all your previous efforts. You are now in the initial stages of your new blog so your focus here will be TRAFFIC.

Here are the top 10 things you’ll need to do now that you’ve launched your blog:

1) Continue preparing blog post and focus on the content. You want to keep fresh content available for visitors to ‘train’ them to come back looking for more.

2) Start visiting other blogs and leave comments. When you comment be sure a link to your blog is in your signature file.

3) Reach out within your blogging community to build relationships with other bloggers. By networking like this you can pick up some tips, ideas and possibly some additional online traffic.

4) When referencing other blogs in your posts make sure to use trackbacks. These link you with the other blog and notify them you’ve just referenced them on your site.

5) Visit forums related to your niche and participate in their discussions. Again this will be a great source of information and a potential field of additional online traffic to your blog.

6) Write articles and post these to your blog. Once posted be sure to ping them, and then wait for 24 hours so that you can now submit them to article directories. Let your articles do ‘double duty’ for you.

7) And speaking of pinging make sure whenever you make a blog post that you ping it.

Participate at social sites where you can spread the word about your new blog.

9) Circulate press releases to announce your blog.

10) Most importantly continue to post on a FREQUENT basis. This is the lifeblood of your blog and the reason readers visit.

You’ve got a new blog with plenty to post about so now is the time to get noticed. By incorporating the above 10 activities into your ongoing blogging routine you’ll be well on your way to attracting plenty of online traffic. Congratulations and may you experience much success with your blogging efforts!

Blog Traffic-discover 7 Ways To Get Unlimited Traffic To Your Blog

Increasing traffic is actually easier than it seems–provided you know how. We will go over 7 specific methods of increasing traffic. These are guaranteed methods to draw more visitors to your blog.

Tip #1: Sign up for pinging services

It seems pretty obvious, but most bloggers, even those who are more experienced, don’t sign up for pinging services. If you’re new to blogging and don’t know what pinging means, pinging basically means that when your blog is updated, a ‘ping’ is sent
out by the service to let pinging sites know that your blog has been updated. People who are visiting sites with pinging services will then see your blog flash across the side of the screen as ‘newly updated’. Pinging services include Yahoo’s blo.gs, weblogs.com, Google Blog search, and ZingFast.

Tip #2: Sign up for Technorati

If you go to technorati.com, you’ll see an option on the left side of the screen to ‘Claim Your Blog’. Doing so allows you to get updated link counts, add your photo or branding to Technorati, and see your Technorati link. Having your blog claimed on Technorati helps to increase traffic because the millions of people who go to that site will have a chance to see your blog on there.

Tip #3: Sign up for FeedBurner, a RSS service

What FeedBurner basically does for your blog is it helps you to promote your blog’s content, build your audience and measure your audience. In other words, it helps you increase your blog’s traffic.

Tip #4: Bookmark your blogs at places like del.icio.us

You can set up an account and profile at del.icio.us. Then, using that, you can add links to your blog along with excerpts from your blog. Anytime someone visits your profile on
del.icio.us, they will see a link to your blog and excerpts. There are other social bookmarking sites that you can use in much the same way. The bottom line is, using these social bookmarking sites can help you increase traffic.

Tip #5: Post comments at other blogs

No, this doesn’t mean you should go and spam other blogs with comments that are only there to promote a site. It means that you should visit similar blogs to your own, post legitimate comments and then sign your name(along with a link to your
blog). This way, people know you aren’t there just to promote your siteyou’re there to post a good piece of feedback and also say where you’re from.

Tip #6: Ask owners of other blogs to post a link to yours

Find other blogs that are similar to yours. If they seem to be decently popular(that is, they have a good amount of comments for each post), you can try to contact the owner of the blog to add a link to your blog if they have a links section. To make them really want to do this, you can offer to link back to their blog on your blog. People do this reciprocal blog linking all the time and it does help to increase traffic.

Tip #7: Use keywords in your blog

Like regular web pages, having a good keyword density on a blog is a terrific way of getting search engine spiders to notice your page. (FYI: Search engine spiders are programs from search engines that browse sites and report back their findings to the
search engine database, which then lists that site. The more keywords on your site, the more likely it is for a search engine spider to pay a visit)

If your average blog posting is around 200 words, try to use 2-6 keywords per blog post. 2-6 keywords in a blog posting of 200 words is a keyword density of between 1 and 3 percent, a respectable number. Remember that you don’t want to use too many keywords, as that will make your blog look bad. Also be sure that the keywords used are relevant to your blog. Before even making a blog posting, decide what the post will be about and then select a keyword or two to use in your post. Then do it. It’s a surefire way of getting more traffic to your site!
