Drive Traffic To Blog Without Spending Money

Don’t worry too much if you have not get the amount of visitors you expect, because visitors don’t come easily it takes process. If you patiently follow the steps required to drive traffic, the satisfactory results will be yours eventually. Do you think big blogs like Problogger.net, Shoemoney.com, JohnChow.com get thousands of thousands visitors overnight? Certainly not! It would be great mistake to think so. At the first time, they experienced the same as I and You do now, their blogs visited only by few visitors. But hei! That was, but now their blog are growing and growing into gigantic medias that absorb people to keep coming every day.

So what did they do?

It’s pretty simple, it’s promotion. A Blog is like a product, it needs recognition from outsiders. It’s our duty to make them recognized by others. But firstly you get to love your blog and love blogging, this will make everything easier. Do it vehemently, and be patient because promoting a blog does take time unless you have an extra budget to hire SEO Expert, buying links, buying paid post, buying ads in adwords or Yahoo publishers, with these ways everything will be faster.

But if your budget is insufficient, worry not! Because there’s plenty roads you can walk on to promote your blog. Fortunately in internet we are provided with heaps of services to help us promote our blog and of course increasing traffic to our blog. The following are very easy ways that all of you have fully aware yet sometimes they’re forgotten because its simplicity or probably because of your laziness.

1. Keep updating your blog with fresh and useful contents, a blog is media for a blogger to record his/her stories or sharing what she/he knows to others and blog also a place where people visit to find informations needed for their own good. Many internet users use Google and Yahoo to assist them find an accurate information. Thus, once they meet your blog is informative, educative and make them hooked up. They’ll come back again and again in the future.

2. Dropping comments to other blogs, I put this in the second list since it’s the most deadly way for helping our promotion. After your blog is filled with good contents, then start to share them with other by doing blogwalking. So read others blog articles, and drop comments as many as you can, do it and do it again regularly. This will help your blog to be known by others and it will also help your building linking campaign if the blog you comment remove their nofollow tag. And finding the most visited blog with crowded visitors, you can find them in technorati 100 blogs, and drop them comments.

3. Socialbookmarks services, register your selves to number of social bookmarks available on the net and submit all of your posts there, do it consistently. In the next months, you will find that you have hundreds or may be thousands of linkback to your blog or pages.

4. Submit to directories, this one of the most recommended ways to promote a blog. Thus, don’t be hesitant just because directories need weeks or months to list your blog, this because directories are not search engines, they use human editors not robots. Therefore waiting is a bitter consequence we must face to be listed in directories. Little trick to kill your boring for long waiting is: “submit your blog then forget it”.

5. Create clone blogs, if your blog is older than a month or two may be it’s time for you to have clone blogs to support your main blog. Make your clone blogs indexed in Google and other search engines, and put your main blog links there and all your pages link there. This will help your blog position in SERP because of your blog owns one way link back to it.

6. Make a friendship, don’t just blogging and provide good content. You should also have to make friendship with others bloggers, by this they will recommend your blog to their readers. And this will benefit your blog and get the exposure.

7. Don’t be lazy, if your are a lazy one, then forget all of the above ways. And forget about hight traffic, just enjoy what you have now:D.

Hope this post helps you to realize that increasing traffic it’s not too difficult and without a single cent a blog can be optimized pretty well with accurate efforts, but it takes time and consistency.
