4 Simple Ways To Get A Quick Increase In Blog Traffic

by 8 Comments

Traffic

Going from 0 daily visitors to 100,000 daily visitors takes a lot of time and effort. The thought of getting more blog traffic has been believed to be a slow process in which the most persistent bloggers are the most successful ones. However, there are some ways to get more blog traffic immediately. These are 4 ways to do that:

  1. Include share buttons at the bottom of your blog. This is a simple step to implement that will allow more people to share your content with their social networks. Some blogs get a few extra visitors with this method while other blogs get a few thousand extra visitors.
  2. Include links to your older blog posts in your new ones. Once you get visitors, you want them to stick around. If your visitors read multiple blog posts on your blog, that reduces your blog’s bounce rate. A blog with a low bounce rate has a better SEO rank. Decreasing bounce rate is a simple way to get a better PageRank on Google.
  3. Write a guest post on a popular blog. Putting your content in front of a larger audience will allow more people to know about you. When people look at your bio, they will see your social networks and a link to your blog. Once you get them to visit your blog, your bounce-rate-improved blog will keep those visitors on your blog for a longer period of time. Writing a guest post and including a link to your blog in the bio will also count towards a backlink.
  4. Use HARO. I have mentioned HARO (Help A Reporter Out) many times because it is an easy way to get free PR. Big media outlets related to your niche are using HARO to find people like you. If the journalist likes your submission, they will feature you on a popular blog, TV show, or magazine. Being featured on the blog gives you another backlink while all three give you free PR.

Those are 4 ways to see an immediate change in your blog traffic. While some tactics take weeks or months to see a big change from, these tactics will allow you to see an immediate increase in traffic. I can’t promise you will go from 0 daily visitors to 100 daily visitors overnight, but I can promise you a noticeable increase in traffic.

 

Why Testimonials Are Important

by Leave a Comment

When first looking at the sales page, no one cares about the product. They only care about what people have said about products. After potential customers see numerous good reviews, then they start to buy in on the idea (and the product).

Testimonials act as proof that your product is elite. You don’t want people to guess about how good your product is. Amazon does not let people guess. All of their products can be reviewed based on a 1 to 5 star scale. The products with more 5 star are the products that get more sales. A lot of 5 star reviews reveals that the product is a must-have.

A description will not be enough to get people to buy your product. It is helpful, but in the end, the description is written by someone who wants you to buy their product. That’s where the testimonials come in. Real customers say what they like about the product, and that encourages potential customers to buy the product.

The products with the most sales are the ones with the most testimonials. Testimonials (also known as reviews on Amazon and many other places) tell people that what you have is extraordinary.

 

Quality Attention VS Attention

by Leave a Comment

There are two different kinds of attention. The first kind of attention is the one you get when people notice you. The second kind of attention is the one you get when people notice you and want to learn more about you. The first kind is just called attention while the second kind is called quality attention. If you are going to be noticed, you want to be noticed in a positive way.

Anyone can get attention. Getting quality attention is more challenging. In order to get quality attention, you need to be performing at a consistent basis and boosting your credibility. As you do these things, you will get more quality attention. People will read your About Me page, buy your products, subscribe to your blog, and follow you on every social network to have.

Quality attention creates quality buzz. Attention just creates buzz. If you want to be a leader in your niche, you need to have quality attention. There need to be people who buy your products and want to learn more about you. Anyone can get attention with some money and an ad space. Quality attention comes from being remarkable.

 

7 Ways To Get More Comments On Your Blog

by 10 Comments

Getting people to comment on your blog will allow you to interact with your visitors. The more comments you get on your blog, the more visitors you are able to interact with. Many blogs that get numerous comments per post also happen to have be the most popular blogs on the web. Commenting builds the buzz about what you have to offer, and getting those comments can also result in more potential subscribers. In order to get more people to comment on your blog, follow these 7 tips.

  1. Write opinion-based content. By writing opinion-based content, some of your visitors will decide to respond to your blog post with their own opinion. If you write a blog post about how awesome dogs are, some of your visitors will agree while others will disagree. The result will be visitors commenting with their opinion.
  2. Write quality content. It seems as if this tip is everywhere and gets overused. However, it is still an important way to get more comments on your blog. Most comments come from the people who are reading the entire blog post. If you want someone to read your entire blog post, you need to write quality blog posts. That will increase your visitors’ retention rate and as a result lead to more comments.
  3. Get more people to visit your blog. There are numerous ways to do this such as boosting your blog’s SEO, making your blog load faster, and utilizing your social networks. Getting more blog traffic will lead to more visitors. The more visitors a blog has, the more comments that blog gets.
  4. Make sure it is easy to leave a comment. If someone has to log in or create an account in order to leave a comment, less people will leave comments. You should only ask your visitors of three things (name, email, and website). The easier it is to leave a comment, the more comments your blog will get.
  5. Write blog posts consistently and frequently. People need to know when you are going to send out a blog post in order to see it. When they see your blog post, some of those people will comment on it. In order to get the most traffic and comments, it is important to write blog posts on a consistent, frequent basis. I publish blog posts every day at 9 am and 9 pm Eastern Time.
  6. Reply to the people who leave comments. This will only encourage those people to leave more comments on your blog and visit it more often. When new visitors see activity in your comments section, they will be more likely to leave a comment.
  7. Encourage people to leave their own comment. Some people need a little nudge before they leave a comment. If the little nudge encourages 50 people to leave a comment on your blog, you will be able to get more activity on your blog.

Those are the 7 ways to get more comments on your blog. Do you have any additional insights or thoughts about this post that you would like to say? Please share them below.
