How I drive traffic to my blog... my 2 cents.

User LilBlackDress (Lee) asked me how I drive so much traffic (3-4k unique visitors per day) to my blog, so here's what I did:
  • Found a market which has high demand and low competition. The competition does not know much about SEO.
  • Wrote articles which had 2-3% keyword density and had the keywords in the title and alt tag of the images
  • I wrote the articles initially and later outsourced it to people who had more knowledge on the particular topic than me. How did I find them? I posted on my own blog that I needed writers
  • Posted re-written articles on article directories and linked back to the original post.
  • Outsourced directory submission and spent around $60 for that, but I am not sure about its effectiveness.
  • Wrote guest posts on the blogs of same niche and linked back to my blog.
  • I opened a google webmaster account, verified my site inside it and posted the XML sitemap to it
  • When there is hot news coming up I post an article about it a week before in article directories and link to a post which does not have much information, only teaser article. Then when the news is released I update the post in my blog with actual news. On the d-day, when people search for that topic, 4-5 results in the first page will be mine. Mostly article directories and my own blog post. Other blogs which post about the same news on the d-day cannot stand against me... I already have backlinks and traffic from other directories. I do this 1-2 times a month and usually gives a big boost in rss feeds.
This did not happen over night. I started 5 blogs and 2 died immediately and 2 is in coma

Summing up, I would say that its all about Beginner's Luck + Systematic Reinvestment of Profits.

I still have a lot to learn. I am nothing compared to Darren Rowse and other big names in this forum.

Thank you for reading my post!

      Indeed good ideas.....

      For driving traffic (not necessarily in this order)

      1. Find low competition, high traffic keywords.
      2. Write website content using these keywords
      3. Write articles for the top article directories
      4. Bookmark the articles
      5. Ping the content. Ping the bookmarks
      6. Submit RSS feeds.
      7. Ping the RSS feeds.
      8. Do an authority tagging on a website
      9. Comment on blogs
      10. Develop some Web2.0 properties
      11. Post in Forums
      12. Link to Site in Signature
      13. Submit to quality directories
      14. Make and post some videos
      15. Focus


      "When there is hot news coming up I post an article about it a week before in article directories and link to a post which does not have much information, only teaser article.

    Great tips it all boils down to hardwork with a little elbow grease which you have done. Those are some good numbers you should be making a decent amount of money with that kind of traffic. Did you monetize with adsense?

      Right now adsense is my only monetization strategy. It works better than direct advertising!
