Almost every business person on this earth wants more customers so as to earn more profit and bloggers are no exception, as they also want to increase the traffic on their website. But because of unlimited information available on the internet to drive more traffic to one’s website, it becomes difficult for them to decide which one to go by first and leave which one. So here I have tried to make things easier for you all by sharing some strategies and tactics that one should definitely apply to increase website traffic.
1. Write topics with high search potential
Try to write topics which have high potential to be
searched by people on search engines. For this, look at the current trends to
have an idea about topics that have high search potential and are currently
being searched by many people. After choosing a topic, try to find relevant
keywords by using tools like keyword explorer. Then filter keywords which have
low level of difficulty and good amount of search volume and try to use them in
title tag, meta description, heading, body of content, URL and anchor tag. So
basically, use keywords throughout the content but do make sure that you are
not doing keyword stuffing.
2. Start Guest Blogging
Start writing guest blogs on sites that belong to your
niche. This helps in generating traffic to your website through referrals. Do
check the domain authority of the site on which you will write a guest post. If
a site has high domain authority and is linking back to your site with a
dofollow link, then your site will get link juice which in turn will improve
page rank of your website. Improved page rank of a site provides better search
results and thus helps in increasing the traffic on the website organically.
Pro Tip: Using backlink checker tools one can check from where one’s rivals are getting backlinks through guest posting and can level up one’s own game as well.
3. Do Blog commenting
Blog comments are a great way to increase traffic on a
website without putting much effort. One just needs to write comments on blogs
of one’s niche. Do make sure that the comment that you are writing will add
value to the readers, because only then will they feel like that you have
expertise and it is worthwhile to check your website. If you do not know much
about the topic of a blog in the first place, then you can gain the attention
of readers by asking relevant questions. And use your actual name as the name
of a commenter otherwise you might seem like a spammer to readers.
Blog commenting if done properly has the potential to increase traffic on one’s website by leaps and bounds.
4. Promote content on social media platforms
A saying well known among salespeople is that, “reach
out to your customers where they like to hang out”. This goes by for bloggers
as well. So try to post details about your latest content on social media
platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Linkedin, as these
are the platforms where people spend most of their time. If the post written by
you is of good quality then it will encourage people to check your website as
well.
5. Link Internally
Unlike backlinks, internal links link one page of a
website to another page on the same website. So to create a lot of internal
links, it is a prerequisite to have a lot of internal pages. Internal links
help Google to index your website in a better way. Besides, internal link is
helpful to send page authority to a new page from page which has high page rank
on your website and thus helps in increasing page rank of new page which
currently has not many backlinks. Also internal links provide better experience
to users.
6. Add Share Triggers
Share Triggers have the potential to viral your post
in a matter of days, which otherwise can take months. So try to make it easier
for people to share your content by adding floating share buttons. If the
content that you have written is of good quality and it adds value to readers
in some way, then floating share buttons will be a trigger for them and the
best part is that they themselves will feel good for sharing it with others.
7. Backlinks
Backlinks link pages from one website to a page on
another website and are called incoming links. Always try to have backlink from
a site which has high domain authority as it will provide more link juice and
thus increase ranking of your page which in turn helps in increasing traffic.
Someone will link back to your site only if you write quality content. So make sure that your content is up to the mark. Also one can make infographics as well to get backlinks, as huge chunks of “type of content that get links” are infographics.
8. Promote content on Quuu
On Quuu, you just need to enter your site's RSS feed
and submit your content and then, from the audience of Quuu, whoever is
interested in your content will share the content with its followers on various
social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. Thus it helps in
boosting website traffic exponentially.
