18 Tips to increase your new blog traffic



Well you might me having a blog but not much traffic. So I decided to tell you some secrets on how to improve your blog and web traffic. I will explain many ways on how to improve your blog or web traffic for more earnings.

1. Write Good Articles

The best thing to do is to write good articles. Just write quality and unique articles at your blog. Don't just copy and paste. I think it is most fundamental part to make good traffic.

2. Keep Your Blog Updated

You need to keep your blog up to date. It is a very necessary part of a blog. If you will update your blog regularly you will get a good boost of traffic for sure. Just keep in mind, no one likes to read one article again and again.

3. Good SEO

Good SEO is very important for better traffic to your blog. There are many techniques used for good SEO. If you don't know please search online about SEO for your desired platform i.e. Blogger or WordPress.

4.Participate at Related Forums

Participate at related forums and post some good threads with your link there. Good forums may boost your traffic.


5.Tag Your Content

Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts. I actually recommend having the tags right on your page, pointing to the Technorati searches that you're targeting. There are other good places to ping - del.icio.us and Flickr being the two most obvious (the only other one is Blogmarks, which is much smaller). Tagging content can also be valuable to help give you a "bump" towards getting traffic from big sites like Reddit, Digg & StumbleUpon (which requires that you download the toolbar, but trust me - it's worth it). You DO NOT want to submit every post to these sites, but that one out of twenty (see tactic #18) is worth your while.

6. Launch Without Comments (and Add Them Later)


There's something sad about a blog with 0 comments on every post. It feels dead, empty and unpopular. Luckily, there's an easy solution - don't offer the ability to post comments on the blog and no one will know that you only get 20 uniques a day. Once you're upwards of 100 RSS subscribers and/or 750 unique visitors per day, you can open up the comments and see light activity. Comments are often how tech-savvy new visitors judge the popularity of a site (and thus, its worth), so play to your strengths and keep your obscurity private.

7. Invite Guest Bloggers

Asking a well known personality in your niche to contribute a short blog on their subject of expertise is a great way to grow the value and reach of your blog. You not only flatter the person by acknowledging their celebrity, you nearly guarantee yourself a link or at least an association with a brand that can earn you readers. Just be sure that you really are getting a quality post from someone that's as close to universally popular and admired as possible (unless you want to start playing the drama linkbait game, which I personally abhor). If you're already somewhat popular, it can often be valuable to look outside your space and bring in guest authors who have a very unique angle or subject matter to help spice up your focus. One note about guest bloggers - make sure they agree to have their work edited by you before it's posted. A disagreement on this subject after the fact can have negative ramifications.

8. Submit Your Blog to Search Engines

Get on the radar screen for the popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo! by submitting your blog's URL to them. Most search engines provide a 'Submit' link (or something similar) to notify the search engine of your new blog, so those search engines will crawl it and include your pages in their results.
It's important to understand that simply submitting your blog to search engines doesn't mean your pages will appear at the top of a Google search results screen, but at least your blog will be included and will have the chance of being picked up by a search engine.

9. Use and Update Your Blogroll

By adding links to sites you like in your blogroll, the owners of those blogs will find your blog and will be likely to add a reciprocal link in their blogrolls. It's an easy way to get the link to your blog in front of many readers on other blogs. The hope is that some of those readers will click on the link to your blog on the other blogs' blogrolls and find your content interesting and enjoyable turning them into loyal readers.
  
10. Submit Your Posts to Social Bookmarking Sites

Taking the time to submit your best posts to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit and more can be a simple way to quickly boost traffic to your blog.

11. Use Images

Use good and most relevant images in your posts. Always use one image per post to gain attraction. Do not use more images because it may cause increase in page loading time.

12. Comment on Others Blogs

Comment of most famous blogs relevant to your blog and include a link to your blog. Do not put your blog link in comments but enter it where website name is asked. If you can not see a text box to enter your web address then you may include your blog or web link in your comment.

13. Link & Banner Exchange

Use link and banner exchange. It is a good way to increase your blog traffic. Contact with most relevant blogger and ask them to put a link of your blog on their blog. In return you will place their link at a visible place in your blog.

14. YouTube Videos

If you can make some good videos relevant to your blog then it would be good for your blog. Sign Up for YouTube create your video channel there and upload some videos there relevant to your blog. Place link to your blog in description section. If you make it possible to increase your videos views then you might increase your blog traffic too much.

15. Write Guest Articles 

Write guest posts at most relevant blog and include your blog link in the articles. Make sure to write unique content.

16. Submit at Directories

Submit your blog at good web directories. You can make good amount of traffic submitting your blog at all good web directories.

Here is a list of some good web directories.


17. Sharing Buttons
Add sharing buttons at your blog. I think sharing buttons are necessary part of a blog.
18. Ads 
 Don't place ads at new blogs until they start getting good traffic. Otherwise you may lose some of your traffic and for sure you are not going to earn handsome amount at your new blog.
