Help! How to get traffic to my blog?

Hi John, from what I've learnt as a beginner, I would recommend you go to some other bloggers' blog which has similar content with you and post some value information. When people have problems they are likely to get a solution for it. Giving people valuable information will catch people eyeballs. Do not post your link on other people's blog after you have posted a few useful information, because people will find that offensive. Maybe give more than 10 - 15 value information then you may start to promote your link on that particular website.

There's another beginner way to get traffic to your blog. Seek for other forum that's about health topic. Do it the same way like I said previously. Find some thread that need medical advice and start giving solution for them. After posting more than 10 - 15 value information(or more than that), you can promote your link in that forum, and I am sure you can find traffic from there. Although is bit that much of traffic. But it is a way to seek for traffic too! IF the forum allow you to post your link on the signature area, that will save the extra work of promoting your link to your website.

Im doing it the beginner's way here. The pro way I still don't know about it yet. But I'm sure there will be someone whose willing to help you here!

Cheers! All the best John!

1. Leave nice comments on other blogs in the same niche as yours. Include your link.
2. Use traffic network like Zaparena, 2leep, wahoha etc.
3. Submit your blog to blog directories
4. Sumbit your articles to article directories
5. Join forums related to your niche

And also consider moving your blog to your own hosting with your own domain name. Wordpress will do a lot of SEO for you and a lot of plugins are available that will help you to increase your traffic

Apart from online publicity, you may also use traditional methods like 'including your link in your business card, using your car's space to put your link, free classifieds, and other simple ideas.

My best reffering sites are: stumbleupon.com, facebook.com and warriorforum.com
What I must try additional?

Social Media will be fine for driving traffics

You can use social networking sites to get quick traffic towards your blog you just have to follows people of your niche type.

Video marketing did you try, or how about social networking I guess thy are the best as far as targeted traffic is concern.

I recommend youtube, twitter and facebook.. All 3 sites have done wonders for my website and business!
You can also check out my free marketing software below.
All the Best!

Hey have you heard of anything like backlinks?
Haha its just a joke of course you know it.
I suggest article marketing in ezine article. If you dominate a whole niche in ezine you will get easy 3000 unique visitors per day Only for massive sites though.

Give enough quality content to authority sites in your niche as write as a guest blogger . Keep doing that and in 4 months time . You would see a surge in traffic and get more search engine traffic as well

Ping your blog regularly and promote your blog through facebook and twitter!

in addition to using the techniques from all the great comments made, i just used a free software type program online called onlywire. it will publish your blog to 46 additional social network sites with one button push. i used it on a blog i had written two months prior and tracked great new traffic. of course it is free too.

Try to have a facebook fanpage, as well have a twitter, a linkedin or myspace a swell.

My friend i want to just say that practice about half of the suggestion if not all, but above all no instant traffic just continue doing this regularly.

=> U can create a Facebook Fan page
=> U can promote your site in Facebook (As a hot cake)
=> Try doing some SEO for your blog with Your key work
=> High PR back links
=> Directory Posting
This will get your blog to a good shape

You can consider making some changes to your face book fan page. I can be improved. A good fan page equals good number of visitors to your blog through social network.

comment on other peoples blogs within your industry. comments on warrior, stumble upon, write hub pages and ezine and link to your site.

Ways to get traffic....1. Join forums in your niche and leave comments that create value for other readers. 2. find blogs in your niche and leave comments that create value for others. 3. Article marketing submissions to the directories and then bookmark them 4. Bookmarking. There is a lot of great info in this form and other places if you type these methods into Google and start reading and learning the ways to do these things. Buy courses that help you grow. I know it is a little overwhelming at first but do one thing at a time and it will add up.

You can get traffic from social networks, for example find a fan page on facebook that has many fans and post your link telling something that people would find interesting and then they will click your page !!

You're posting duplicate content. You'll never get any traffic like that.

Write original articles that target long tail keywords and build back links to them. What works for me (and this is probably going to be seen as blasphemy) is targeting long tail keywords with original content and a few back links.

I started with a few articles that had targeted some keywords that got about 600 hits a month. A few back links and I am in first place and getting 5 to 10 new visitors from SEO each and every day.

Every day I do a few things:
1. Write an article that is fully optimized for a low competition, relevant keyword.
2. Make sure that content is good and engaging and post it to my blog, submitting it to stumbleupon.com
3. use buildmyrank.com to build four or five back links for each keyword I target (I usually try to target searches that work double duty. For instance "how to make money online" and "make money online." <- this is not my niche).
4. Comment on a few other blogs and try to be helpful, getting people to click through to my site almost every time

I also mix and match the linking I do. I have one big keyword I am targeting for the long term. I build 2-3 links for that every day. I put the bulk of keywords towards the article I wrote that day, and then a few like "click here" and "check out domain.com" - to help build a more "natural" back link profile.

At first, it was very, very hard work. I only got 1 or 2 hits a day for the first couple of weeks, but it kept climbing up by 1 or 2 almost every day. After a while, I have hundreds of articles on my blog, and each one brings in between 1 and 20 unique NEW visitors per day.

There is no "get rich quick" scheme that has that kind of staying power.

But notice that the first step for me is to create good content.

you can get traffic from digg or reddit.

Reinvein,

How much do you put into your social networking etc. Done in the right way a social marketing strategy can have huge results!

Hi reinvein. There are so many ways. Here's an easy one I like: Take the link to your blog, or seperate blog posts, and put them on related Facebook Groups as well as Twitter. Also, Squidoo is very cool because you can put your blog link on your lenses as well as make money.

To Your Success,
Brad Marcus

P.S. I think you'll like my signature.

Hello Everyone! I am brand new to Warrior Forum and REALLY LOVE most of what i have read so far. I have a few questions regarding starting my online ventures.

Currently I have 3 websites and one in progress. I purchased an annual membership with a template company because I want to add my own unique template to a couple of them and I also purchased Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 because I want to design my own website templates as well. Really I want all of my websites to be top notch viewing quality for visitors so that they will have a pleasant purchasing and viewing experience. So by now everyone can guess that I have spent A LOT of money on trying to get started on my online endeavors.

With one of the sites, I want to create a blog that I plan to run a lot of affiliate marketing on in that specified niche. So first question is:
How do I drive abundant traffic to the site from the day it launches?

The second site will be mainly a blog regarding a different niche with affiliate marketing. But I want to add a store to the site. So the second question is:
How do I add an affordable store front quickly?

I would like to do some drop shipping with the other site but I don't know of any reputable drop shipping company's that are affordable? So I need help there also. I really want to be up and running with all of these sites within the next 30 days. I incorporated two businesses that have the names of two of the sites and I want to get started asap. I am learning html and xhtml and want to learn css also.
How do I get started with my endeavors quickly and realistically how soon should I expect to receive revenue if I am truly putting in the work? Where can I find an all in one source to help me pull it all together? I have tax ID numbers for two of the online endeavors. Can I attempt to open a business credit card to help with funding?
What should I do? Please help! I have less than $100 left to get these things running and don't want to end up broke. I have 4 children to feed on my own. PLEASE HELP! I see a lot of great offers here but I don't know what would be best.

Thanks for viewing and I hope that I didn't scare anyone!

facebook and twitter get good traffic
my blog is resalemembership.com/blog
And I use a twitter plugin to send posts to my twitter account
it works :p

use stumbleupon

Comment on other peoples blogs.
Write good content using good keywords

blog commenting and forum posting should give you a few links and that will increase your traffic

i get lots of great traffic off of social media more specifically twitter, and facebook... key is providing them with great content that will make them want to come back and of course tell their friends

Social Networking sites and book marking are very easy ways to get good traffic to your blog.

All i can suggest it to blast your site..

Do this:
Do make social network, bookmark, web profile point to your site
Do make article marketing and blog com.

I have the same problem. When I became a member of the warrior forum, there was a company that specializes in back linking. Badass SEO services from your favorite SEO company. I am not an affiliate but I am giving it a try. Maybe something like this will help...

adwords is always and good way to start

The only thing that all of you have not mentioned is Facebook Ads. While it posting a PPC FB ad may cost you, it does produce awesome targeted traffic. Just a suggestion anyway.

What I do to drive traffic:

1. Submit to ezinearticles.
2. Comment on other blogs.
3. Posts on related forums.
4. Post on Facebook wall.
5. Create a Fan page on facebook.

You can do some social bookmarking for initial traffic.
But definitely increase your rankings in Google for more longterm traffic and of course money.

I have not done this yet but it is something that has been percolating in my mind for a few hours... yeah just today. But years ago before the internet when I owned a Real Estate Company we had a goal... make the phone ring. We used a lot of cheap classified adds and were very successful.

Been thinking ... can I do this only instead of making the phone ring make them click my link. Can I come up with inexpensive classified adds in newspapers that will make them click my link using maybe those qr codes (reading this article is what got me to thinking What you need to know about QR codes and the future of print engagement with mobile | New Media Bytes | Online journalism, web production and promotion)

Do not know how small these codes can be, don't know how popular they are but have read of several marketers getting results using them on business cards, flyers and blogs. Why not print media classifieds? One thing that use to be true (may still be true)... a newspaper classified add would often still pull weeks and sometimes months after the add ran.. may be worth considering.

Just a thought if do will post results. Right now just thoughts

I'll answer this question with 4 ways

Article marketing
blog commenting
forum marketing
social media

Now quit asking questions and go make it happen
