How to increase traffic to blog?


Traffic to a blog is one of the key parameters of judging the success of the blog. Moreover, if you want to earn a few dollars from your blog, then it must be one of your fundamental concerns. I have tried some of the techniques myself to boost the traffic, which I am enlisting below.

1.     Nothing creates long term traffic than writing quality posts which gives value to the reader.

2.     Listing blog in different blog directories and search engines with appropriate meta-tags makes blog more visible.

3.     Commenting on blogs of the readers makes a network, which converts into traffic.

4.     80% of online users can understand English, so by installing a translator plugin the blog can cater to non-english community as well. This widens the reach of the blog.

5.     Promoting blog offline through T Shirts etc. during Blog Carnivals.

6.     Leaving trackbacks in other blogs.

7.     Participating in different Groups and Forums.

8.     Participating in blog projects and writing for other blogs which gives a backlink to your blog.

9.     Joining social networking sites.

10. Writing about controversial topics give a spike in traffic as long as the controversy stays. But I personally don’t advise you to write controversial topics only for sake of traffic.
