I think when it comes to posting you have to be consistant. I don’t think you have to post everyday but at least a couple times a week. but if you only post a couple times a week just be consistant at that. imo you shouldn’t post everyday for a month then once a week after that…. although I guess any posting has to help.

You also have to spend times building links. outsourcing contenet is pretty cheap you can buy a couple article a week and spend time promoting.

I’m reading alot about blog promoting which is how I endend up here. looks like quite a few articles here i can use.

I’m starting a new blog, and I’m definitely seeing what you mean by search engines taking a long time to trust your site.

As a new blogger, I’m getting over 50% of my traffic from facebook friends. I definitely need to work on getting the other connections going.

As a fellow blogger, I think this list is very solid. One thing I’ve noticed when I was reading the comments is that a lot of people were asking about SEO. Quite honestly, your top 10 makes a solid base for SEO, adding emphasis on point number 5. You actually need to give you readers something they want or need. Basically, help your blog stand out by making yourself different and relevant.

All right, thanks a lot for the top 10 and have a good one.

Blogging these days isn’t too different to running a website – the search engines will ignore new blogs for months and without any links from other websites you’re unlikely to be found.

I am so lost on the inbound link thing. I try to drive traffic to my blog, but so far I only have about 15 regular readers. I don’t really want random traffic. Any advice on how to gain regular readers that are actually interested in the blog subject matter?

Social media does help build your blog, but there is also an underbelly.

I’ve had terrible social media experiences where I discovered that a very known and respected blogger was actually stealing ideas and concepts from other blogs, recycling them and presenting them as their own. You couldn’t exactly call it plagiarism and yet, it was a form of stealing. The sad thing was, she had a very successful blog that still operates today.

Consistently posting is key. Also, blogs should try to attract returning visitors by creating sticky content.

I’m a bit reluctant to use banner advertising. In my experience, it doesn’t seem very good at targeting. For example, on one social networking site with banners, I saw an advertisement for a local band. The particular advertisement chose me, I assume, because I live close to the area where the band is based. That’s it. No delving into my favorite artists to see if I like bands with a similar sound…. nah, I live close by, that’s good enough reason to put a classified post on my page.

Perhaps the band in this case would have better luck searching for groups of fans of a musician or musician that they had previously drawn comparisons to, and sending a message to members of that fan base?

It’s a lot of work, but works a lot better than paying a nickel every time someone clicks your link and stays on your page for 30 seconds or less.

Excellent post. It is all too easy to get hung up on the SEO stuff. Produce good content regularly and the people will come but think in terms of months not days.

Stats wise try to work with moving averages rather than individual days these will tell you a whole lot more and will give a useful prediction curve to measure against.

I had one set of numbers that looked all but random then graphed them with a 30 day moving average and the line was a perfect sine wave.

Again thanks for this – love posts that take me away from looking at the tree and back to observing the whole forest.

My blog is pretty new, about three weeks old, but I have been ‘blogging’ for several years, only recently trashing my old (profitable) blog and starting over with a whole new ‘idea’. I just hated my old blog at the end.

Anyway, the new blog has had a pretty good response, in terms of traffic, I am getting an average of 80 uniques a day, not nearly enough, BUT those 80 uniques visit 3.67 pages a visit, I have a bounce rate of only 2.44% and am getting a decent amount of repeat visitors. (only 86.5% are NEW visitors)

I am stuck now though, this blog isn’t like my old blog, the old one was a mommy blog, it was pretty easy to promote- and I am still getting ‘mommy’ traffic, but that is not who I think I should be targeting… you know? I think I would get better submission rates and comments from another group of people. I am just not sure where to best promote it or to who…

This comment turned into a book- I am so sorry! I really just meant to say it was an awesome article, and I love the blog LOL I got wayyyy carried away- regardless, I would love your thoughts on what I have mentioned!

Thanks (BTW- this article was third on google when searching for blog promotion!)

Nice tips I guess, haven’t tried all of them out so what do I know. Anyway I am posting on here because I want a link to my blog. I make watercolor paintings and submit them daily. They are pretty. You should check it out. And become a repeat visitor. I’ll start putting semi entertaining information after posts.

Great tips Steven!!
Blogging and new media will continue to grow in importance and prestige because it gives people a larger marketplace of ideas to shop from, a larger platform to affect change in the world and because it is so important in promoting engagement and thoughtfulness.

Posting consistently is quite a problem if you struggle to find new content or news to blog about. Especially when you’re trying to build traffic with a new blog/website from scratch. I’m trying to keep post coming at least once a week but sometimes let it lapse to 12 – 14 days.

Nice article Steven, You have a great point when you say focusing on stats without looking at the true results can cause a bit of an illusion. I have seen some big traffic ideas go flop where slow and steady wins the race. Repeat visitors and followers are great way to reach success.

thankyou for sharing now I get the idea for increase traffic for my blogs.

By: Eric

Eric — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:18:50 +0000

I started a blog maybe 18 months ago, did it for about 2 months and quit because I noticed that my audience was next to zero. Then about 2 months ago I decided to take a look at the traffic again. It turned out that I had written at least one article that was generate decent search engine traffic (for me anyway…about 500 visitors) and that most had at least stayed on the site long enough to have read 1 or 2 articles.

Anyway, with the encouragement of that, I decided to pick up the virtual pen again and start writing. The first new article gave me a large spike in visitors…about 100 that day, but subsequent articles haven’t really generated much. In all honesty, I feel the writing is getting more interesting than the stuff of old. Any thoughts, or do I just need to keep it up for another 3-4 months before I will get regular readers?

Thanks,
Eric

I agree that we should value everybody that come across our blogs and websites, and keeping them come back over and over again just by giving them conents that are equivalent to their precious time. I have noticed in my free word 2007 tutorial blog, that contents and quality content is the main key to people visiting your blog

What does it mean to ping your blog and where can one find information about this topic?

By: Ploem

Ploem — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:00:55 +0000

Do you think it’s true that going from a 500 visitors/day to a 1000 is easier then let’s say from 50 to 100? Do you have to keep hustling for every visitor or does the created traffic automatically bring in new visitors after a while?

By: Harrison

Harrison — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:12:36 +0000

Posting once a day and pinging your blog each time really helps. I think the toughest part is getting other blogs to link to yours.

Great post and definitely one to subscribe too! I have found that traffic is difficult to start as a new blogger, but hope that as I keep working it will get better. Social networking is usually only good for one time fixes, but we will see!!
Also, is it worth it to pay for traffic if you aren’t selling anything on your site and are only using ads and affiliate sales?
