The Key to Making Money Online - How to Get Targeted Traffic to Your Blog
How do you get traffic to your website or blog? If you are like me, you want to see the number of unique visitors increase from month to month. In order to do so, bloggers will use any number of techniques.
Lately, I have been using entrecard to try and generate some traffic. Unfortunately, most people just drop their card off and hop to the next blog. If you get one person out of a hundred to read what you have written, I would say you are doing well. Another problem with this type of traffic is that once you stop dropping your card, this traffic tends to dry up pretty quickly.
So how do to attract and keep readers on your blog? Here are my favorite ways to get targeted traffic to your blog.
1. Create interesting content - There are many blogs that I read on a daily basis that will never be considered the “leader” of any niche. What they provide, however, is their unique perspectives on their chosen niche. The same topic approached from a different point of view can be extremely well received.
2. Post comments - In any given niche, there are literally thousands of blogs in which people are passionate about that subject. Posting comments on these blogs is a great way to get targeted traffic to your site. Whenever I receive a comment that is relevant to my post, I follow the link over to the commenter’s blog and check out what they are writing about. If I like what I have read, I tend to subscribe to their RSS feed and follow what they are working on. Remember to post comments that are useful and actually add to the discussion. “Nice post” or “Great article” comments will not help you at all.
3. Submit Articles to Article Directories - There are some amazing article directories that accept article submissions. These sites literally get hundreds of thousands of unique visitors each and every month. Posting articles on these sites can completely eliminate your need for adwords advertising. Type in “ezinearticles experiment” into any web browser and read some of the amazing results.
