How to increase traffic to your blog tips.

As a blog owner, i am sure you have tried to do your best to optimize everything to increase traffic to your blog. If we talk about increasing traffics there are tons of blogging tips out there that you can digg around and try it yourself.

From my experience, after installed and configured the must have plugins for your wordpress blog, and get better interlinking in your site with the best wordpress widgets, it already helped increasing traffic to your blog.

What can you do with your website to increase traffic to your blog?

This is what i did, and of course you can try to increase traffic to your blog:

1. Read this useful tips to build backlinks for your blog.

2. Use must have wordpress plugins.
I have created complete guide to install and setting them up.

3. Submit your site to search engines.
I have made 3 tutorials how to submit to Google, yahoo, bing, and ask.com search engines.

4. Optimize your site so it can loads faster, example, compress your wordpress images.
Loading speed is nowadays important, because Google cares about the visitors in your site. So it is a good idea to try speeding up your site for getting faster loading times.

5. Build backlinks naturally, and if you can get a link from a site which has good reputation, they are usually .edu and .gov sites.
I personally do not have .edu or .gov sites (as i am aware of) but it is a benefit if you have one or more links. Because those sites are trusted by Google, and can lift the weight of your site’s importance.

6. Use related posts under your blog post. I have made a tutorial how to have related post box without plugin, but if you don’t want to add some codes yourself, try YARPP plugin.

7. Make sure you get links when you comment on blogs which has “comment luv” enabled.
Look for blogs which have commentluv plugin installed, and comment there, but really commenting and don’t spam. Also optimize your commentluv usage.

Will the 10 tips above help to increase traffic to your blog?

Big YES! Trust me, at first i did not believe those tips because i thought those are BS, but they are not. Of course besides doing my tips above, you also need to write posts in your blog, the more posts you have the more chances you can increase traffic to your blog.

Hi Kimi,

I’ve tried to find .edu .gov but demands time, they must be on recent posts, open comments without register, good PR and may be do-follow.

I’d add to more traffic submit to social sites, bookmarking sites and comment on other blogs.

Cheers,

Gera

Hi Gera,

I guess i have one link for .edu but i have no idea how i get it LOL..

I agree with you, also not different here, i do not really care about edu or gov, just doing other linking building method.

Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment.

These are pretty good tips. I have to admit that I spend no time trying to build up links other than internal links. I’m just like that, though; I refuse to write someone and ask them to link to me. But I still have a lot, so I’m hoping it’s because people like what I have to say at least part of the time.

Same with you here, i also don’t have time for that, people usually ask me to exchange links, and some sorts.

What i am still doing is active in one forum, blog commenting..

You are doing well with your blog!

Would have loved to seen a few more onpage optimization tips as well ,that would have made the writeup wholesome.
I was led here trough a comment you left on a tech blog and i am reading up all your posts and pretty much liking it…
Ill follow your blog henceforth :)

I am making a write up on advanced link building where i will explain how to get .edu and .gov links as these are most important and pass on optimum link juice.
To sum it in short you need to make related posts for link baiting and send tracjbacks to .edu sites along wit authorative comments.
Will explain in detail when the post is made. Thanks for taking up the topic :)
