5 unique ways to increase your traffic

It’s always difficult for every novice blogger when it comes to getting unique blog traffic in very short period of time. In this article we will cover some of the methods to increase blog traffic in unique without spending a single penny. So as we are not going to spend any money, so it’s obvious that we will have to spend time to achive our goal. So without wasting a time we will come to the point

Your technical comments at Forums will fetch you nice traffic

This is very true in my case. I used this technique quite an often when I started blogging and found it useful. Believe me it would fetch your more than artificial traffic (read traffic from your promotion ads). All you have to just follow simple thing while commenting at different Forums.

  1. Choose your carefully, see that it has got handsome PR, which often suite your traffic.
  2. Its simple theory if you are commenting in wise manner, people gets curious to know more about you.
  3. If you get interesting cracking news, then always share with the forum members and ask them to link back to your post.
  4. Many forums provide you with signature facility, which you must use to notify about your latest quality post.

Note: Many forums are now strict about spamming so avoid it and take care while linking to your post. You should always see to it, that you are linking relevant posts.

Write Tutorials

Write tutorials that walk your readers through a process that teaches them how to achieve a goal they might have. Tutorials are very important factor increasing tour traffic as they are not time dependant. Tutorials have more chance of getting bookmarked in Social Bookmarking sites which will get you plenty of readers and links from many blogs.

Give an Author Contact Option

This is another common Blog designing mistake. Well, its very important to have contact option in your Blog design. Reader always wants to know more about the Author when he likes your post. So not having Contact option will definitely annoy him and you loose your another reader. You may follow some guideline for having different options for your site. But remember it s better to have just one or two contact option rather than messing your Blog with hundreds of contact option.

  • Create your contact form if you own a site and hosting it privately.
  • Place your Contact option in main menu bar and in various spot where your reader may find it easily.
  • If you don’t have your own web hosting for one or some other reason, then don’t worry. Just create another service email account on your favorite site and add link to your email account.
  • As far as my opinion is concerned, I will recommend having another service gmail account. Because it provides you Mail Trackback services as you can recall your replies for individuals.

Pen Note: Having another service account is very important as you can differentiate your personal emails and professional emails. Here you can create nice email icon for Contact Options for your site.

Notify Other Related bloggers of your content

Well, informing your other relevant bloggers with email about your quality post is also nice idea. If you think you have some quality posts, then email your other friends in this field. If they could find any interest in them, he will surely write and note about you. So in turn, you will get nice traffic from him. Follow some guidelines while notifying other bloggers of your content.

  • Write a polite email with relevant subject that suggest about something related to your post.
  • Directly come to point if you are notifying him about cracking news or so.
  • Do provide summary of the complete post by picking up important points.
  • At the end add a sweet note about him and also do not forget to mention him, about the quality of his articles.
  • If you have written and article inspired by him or you are linking to any of his article then do not forget to mention it at the end.

Pen note: IF you are regular reader and commentator of that website, you are likely to get additional advantage. So commenting on some of his popular content might help you to shoot your traffic.

Offline Promotion

Blog promotion can be done offline also. It need not be online. Offline blog promotions include placing your site name on business card, mouth publicity, may be giving advertisement in local news with your type of work
