How to generate traffic to your blog

by Maryanne Murray

Created on: November 15, 2009


Do you need more visitors to your blog? Using a good SEO writing technique can help a lot, and it can help earn more money if you are depending on ads and people clicking on them.

The best way to get more traffic to your blog, or any other website, is by writing the content with certain keywords. The keywords need to be in the article or post in certain places.

When you write any content for the Internet, the keywords are what the search engine will find, therefore bringing others to your pages. Here is an example of a blog post.

Title: "Are you diabetic? Is your glucose too high?"

The keywords are diabetic and glucose.

1st paragraph:

"If you are a diabetic and your glucose is too high, there are a few things you can do to help maintain a lower lever for your glucose."


Notice how the keywords are in the first sentence of the first paragraph.

You can continue to write the rest of the paragraph, but do not use the keywords again until somewhere in the middle of the post. Then, add the keywords into the last sentence of the last paragraph of your post, or content.

If it is an article you are writing, let's say about 400-500 words, you will want to use the keywords a bit more. A general rule is to add keywords every 100-125 words apart from each other, if you are writing with SEO in mind.


Other ways to get more traffic to a web page is by going to forums that are related to the topic you have on your site. Make sure the forum allows you to leave your website link when you write posts there. These links you will leave are called back links, which means that others will link back to your site.


Another great way to get more visitors to your blogs or other web content is to sign up for some social networks and advertise your links there, generally on your profile.


When you sign up to write articles or blogs at some sites, they may allow you to add a link or more than one link to your profile there, as well.

Ultimately, there are other ways to get more traffic to your site. For more information, please see some search results I have added for you.
