3.5 Ways To Get More People To Visit Your Blog

30 replies
Hi Everyone,
I started my blog @ www.incomescene.com just about 5 months ago. I actually bought the domain 8 months prior to launching it. Whe I started out it wasn't easy getting people to notice me. I wrote a few posts, tried submitting them to social bookmarking sites, and a couple other things but the site didn't seem like it was moving.
Along the line I picked up some things which I would quickly share here. It's not that I have started getting millions of daily visitors but I have noticed VERY significant improvements. I hope this helps someone...

1. Post Regularly. I only came to undertand this in the last month or so. If you starve your readers, they would have no option but to go after someone else who wouldn't.
Besides this, posting regularly gives the search engine fresh content to crawl. Generally, having a consistent blogging schedule gives an impression of a living community.

2. Look Big. One way of doing this is to change or improve the design of your blog. For me it was getting a good logo, buying a premium theme and taking time to do a little tweaking here and there. The result was tremendous. If you have social proof, use it. Register your site with communities and tribes. When people see you everywhere, they will subconsciously come to accept you as an authority.

3. Follow The Leaders (Help Them). You should visit the leading blogs in your niche to get a feel of what everyone's saying. Comment on their blogs, tweet and share their posts. Even if they don't notice you, other people doing the same thing as you definitely will and you could build partnerships this way.

And as a side point,
3.5 - Use Reddit. Reddit is like the best social bookmarking site out there for newbie bloggers. With a very catchy title you can drive hundreds of visitors to your blog. This is very powerful.

I would leave the rest to you to ponder on because sincerely, giving too many suggestions is simply telling you to do NONE.
Peace!

      Great... If you had checked just a few moments earlier you would have seen another topic, "How To Get People To Visit Your Blog" but I began to feel that every other person does the same.
      Glad it got you to click.

    Just goes to show that your persistence has paid off and you have created momentum. Momentum is what makes internet marketing fun. Once you have it, you don't want to stop.

      You are definitely right. One needs persistence to succeed online.

    Thanks for the share.

    I didn't know reddit.com was that successful - I will have to try them again. Are you able to post a couple of your successful titles?

      Sure, but if you make your title look like, "How Blahblah made $ 1,500 in a Day", you will get voted down. Don't include anything that gives your title a kind of hype.

      Peace!

    These are basics of becoming a good webmaster. The killer methods are still not known, no one discloses them.

      I partly agree with you here. But if you follow these you should be able to get more people to your blog.

    wow! that was very powerful and informative. I have learned something new because i am an aspiring internet marketer; and i am learning internet marketing now. I did not know about Reddit.com. I will try it out. one thing i have been learning is the power of creatiing many links with the social medias such as twitter, stumbleupon etc. I know its not easy to have an authority website, and to have many people visit your site; but its about hard work; eagerness to learn internet marketing skills and tips.

    Thanks a lot for sharing your views and experience. Keep the midnight oil burning forever.

    yours,
    Janfav

    Quitters never win, and winners never quit. (forgive me, i have forgotten the original author of this quote, its not me) This has always encouraged me to reach the finish line of anything i start; since i was initially a person who was quick to quit; but this is a resolution of the year, to reach the finish line of any project i start so as to be a winner; despite the challenges. But to always weigh carefully before i start any project; its pros and cons.

  • We too have found that reading forums (like this one), other peoples blogs and viewing YouTube videos whilst commenting on them really helps to get you known out in the field and turn from being the novice to some what of an expert (it takes time, but practice makes perfect as they say). It provides link backs to your site and makes you feel that your really part of the Internet Marketing business and build on your confidence in this area.

    Usually as you market the word gets spread about your site, and more people will click your site.

    This thread is bookmarked! By the way I understand the importance of social bookmarking but what does reddit have that made them stand out from stumbleupon or mixx for you?

      Hi Andrea, thanks for the bookmark!
      The visitors I get from reddit stay for some time reading my blog. That's why I prefer them at the moment. Ie I find StumbleUpon or Mixx quite as useful I might start using them actively.

    Thanks bro for the head up about reddit. It's something I'll be adding to my traffic arsenal.

    The interesting thing is your take on persistent posting. I know this is important because I notice a dip in traffic and activities when I don't post.

    Another thing is: Forum Marketing works and rocks!

      I think WF has been my best source of traffic this week. Forum posting does work.
      Thanks for everything man.

    I think tip "4.5" would be... Use good post titles.

    The title of this thread, for example, is excellent. It offers a benefit and also uses a bit of curiosity. People will want to know what the ".5" tip is!
