Traffic
generation is a very crucial aspect of blogging that cannot be neglected. Most
bloggers and webmasters try to shy away from this very important aspect, and it
doesn’t go down well with them. For instance, it is because of traffic that you
are reading this post now. Okay let’s break it down this way. Your blog or
website is your shop, your blog contents are the goods you are selling, while
traffic is the customers that come to buy your goods. So you can see that there
is no way your shop can survive without customers, that’s why traffic generation
is very important in blogging.
I
am going to show u some simple techniques I use to generate tons of free
traffic to my blog, that is to say that I am going to show you how to attract
plenty customers to your shop. But first of all you must understand that the
secret of traffic generation is being consistent in adding new and juicy
contents to your blog on a regular basis and if possible make it daily.
This
singular act will make your readers glued to your blog because they wouldn’t
like to miss the fresh contents. Keep reading as I reveal the secrets of
massive traffic generation.
1. SOCIAL
BOOKMARKING SITE
The
first method of driving massive traffic to your blog or website is by utilizing
the free services of social bookmarking sites. These social bookmarking sites
usually have very high traffic hits per day. What they do is to publish your
site contents and links to the millions of people who visit their site each
day. There are a whole lot of social bookmarking sites scattered all over the
internet, and visiting each of them to post your contents and links could be
very tiresome. Voila am going to introduce you to these three similar sites
which have solved the headache for you by collating over fifty social bookmarking
sites, and posting your links and contents to them one by one. Hmm! I can hear
you heave a sigh of relief there; the two sites are www.bookmark4u.com www.socialmarker.com
and www.sociallist.com. They both perform the same function so I will advise
you to use any one of them to avoid double posting. Just visit the site and
read their instructions on how to use it. I stumbled over a site where you can
submit your blog or website to generate thousands of backlinks and thereby
increasing your search engine ranking. here is the link
http://www.activesearchresults.com it might also be of help.
2. FORUM POSTING
Another
way of driving traffic to your blog is by posting relevant contents with links
to your blog on high traffic forums. Forums like www.naijaloaded.com,
www.nigerianbestforum.com, www.nairaland.com, www.gurusbase.com,
www.naijacliq.com, www.naijahotjobs.com naij.com etc are high traffic forums owned by
Nigerians. So all you need do is to register with them and keep dropping
interesting contents with links to your blog.
NOTE:
Most of these forums prohibit the act of dropping your web and
Email
addresses, and have configured their system to delete any such post. But you
can trick the system by writing your web addresses like this. Instead of typing
www.martinslibrary.blogspot.com or www.martinslibrary.com, you can type it like this “martinslibrary dot blogspot
dot com” or "martinslibrary dot com" so that their system won’t detect it.
3. COMMENTING ON
OTHER SITES
This
is another way of getting free organic traffic to your blog or website; it is
also called “Link Building”. Just look for other blogs and sites in your niche
and drop interesting comments on them. These blogs usually have comment box
where you can drop your comments and your blog or website URL. People who are
captivated by your comment can easily navigate to your blog or website. Just do
a Google search to find other sites in your niche, and then try to drop
relevant comments on as many of them as you can, and see how your blog traffic
will grow.
4. LIST BUILDING
This
is another interesting method of generating free traffic to your blog or website
while making money. It is just like having a list of customers to whom you can
sell your products. There is this popular saying which says that “There is
Money in the List”. You can always mail the contacts on your list whenever you
have fresh contents on your blog, and they will start visiting. On the other
hand, you can use your list to market your information products.
Ok
let’s assume you have 5000 valid contacts in your list, and you are selling an
information product for let’s say N1000, and only 2500 contacts bought your
product. That a cool N250, 000 straight to your bank. So you can agree with me
that there is money in the list.
In
my next post, I will be showing you how I was able to build a list of over 5000
subscribers in just one week, and how I use it to make money into my bank
account almost on a daily basis.
5. ARTICLE
SUBMISSION
This
method entails submitting your keyword rich articles embedded with your links
to article directories. These article directories collect millions of articles
on varying topics per day from bloggers and webmasters. Many people visit these
directories to search for articles and when they click on your links, they are
then linked back to your site. Some of the popular article directories include.
www.ezinearticles.com, www.articlesbase.com etc just visit there site and see
for yourself. You can also do a Google search to find more.
6. FREE
CLASSIFIED ADS
This
is another way of advertising your site and products to millions of internet
users. What they do is to help you create banner ads or text ads for your site
or blog. Some also have the option of targeting a particular audience. There
are a lot of them on the internet, just do a Google search of “free classified
ads” and see what you will get. Learn how it works and apply it to suit your
needs.
7. RSS FEEDS
This
is another great way of generating traffic to your blog. If you are an ardent
blogger, you would have noticed that there is hardly any serious site that
doesn’t have the RSS FEEDS installed on their site. Because of time, I can’t
give you details on this particular topic. You can do a Google search to learn
more on RSS FEEDS and how it works. New methods of traffic generation have been
discovered in recent times. I will update this post when I lay my hands on
them. But if I have omitted something, or you want to make a little
contribution, feel free to drop your comments in the comment box below.
