Blog Project: 30 Traffic Generation Tips

First of all a big “thank you” for every one who participated. As I said before the number of entries surprised me (and the quality as well, I will definitely apply some of those tips myself).

Now, without further delay, the 30 Traffic Generation Tips:

1. Sridhar Katakam
Keep track of blogs and leave comments on them. A good way to keep the conversation going is to install a MyBlogLog widget and visit the blog of people visiting your site.

2. Ian Delaney
Nothing creates long-term traffic more than value. Consider writing posts with resources or explaining how things work. Useful things get linked to and they get onto del.icio.us, which is far better long-term than a digg front page.

3. Scott Townsend
Inform search engines and aggregators like Technorati (using the ping functionality) when your blog is updated, this should ensure maximum traffic coming from those sources. (check the List of Ping Services)

4. Kyle
Simplify. Pay attention to complex issues in your field of work. It may be a big long publication that is hard to wade through or a concept that is hard to grasp. Reference it and make a shorter “for dummies” version with your own lessons learned and relevant tips. When doing this, I have been surprised to find that the simplified post will appear before the more complex version in search results. Perhaps this is why it results in increased traffic; people looking for more help or clarification on the subject will land on your blog.

5. Grant Gerver
Try to be polemic. I write obsessively about all-things political from the left-wing perspective in the form of humorous, sarcastic one-liners.

6. Daniel
A simple tip that will probably boost your page views: install a translator plugin. I decided to use a paid plugin for this, but if I am not wrong there are some free ones as well. The translation is not very good, as you can imagine, but it helps to attract readers that are not fluent in English.

7. Rory
Submit articles to blog carnivals (http://blogcarnival.com) that are related to your niche. Your article almost always gets posted, and it must generate a handful of visitors, at least.

8. Ramen Junkie
Newsgroups. I always see a spike when I post a review to a newsgroup.

9. Eric Atkins
Create a new design for your website. Not only will it be more attractive to your regular readers, but you can submit it to some CSS gallery showcase sites that feature great designs. This will give you exposure on those sites while generating a lot of traffic and backlinks from those types of sites.

10. Megan Taylor
Participate in conversations on related blogs. Start conversations on your own blog. Don’t just post about a story and leave it at that, engage your audience, ask questions and call to action.

11. Guido
Comment on blogs, write useful content and make good friends on forums.

12. Brian Auer
You must be active to generate traffic. I post comments on other blogs that are related to mine, and I post my site link in my signature at the forums. Spread the word about your blog and it will certainly attract readers.

13. Shankar Ganesh
Just browse around MyBlogLog.com and you will surely get visitors to your blog. Also try to join as many communities as possible that are related to your topic.

14. Andrew Timberlake
A great tip for generating traffic is off-line by including your url in all your off-line liturature from business cards, letterheads, pamphlets, adverts through in-store signage if applicable. I even have our website on my vehicle.

15. Cory OBrien
Read lots of other blogs. Leave trackbacks. Make sure your blog is optimized for search engines. Leverage social bookmarking sites like digg (both for new ideas and for traffic).

16. Jester
Leave comments on other blogs. If you’re already reading them, it takes
just a couple of seconds to leave a message agreeing or disagreeing
with the author, you get to leave a link to your site, and you will almost
ALWAYS get traffic from your comments.

17. Goerge Manty
Post 3-5 times a day. Use ping services like pingomatic or set up wordpress to ping some of the ping services. Engage your readers. Put up polls, ask them questions, give them quizes, free tools, etc. Make them want to come back and tell their friends about you.

18. Engtech
Community. It’s one word but it is the most important one when it comes to blogging. The only “blog metric” that makes sense is the vibrant community of readers it has. Building a community around your blog will bring you increased traffic, but how do you start? The boilerplate response to building traffic is always “SEO, social networking sites, and commenting on blogs” but it can be simplified to “be part of a community”. The easiest way to seed your blog is with an already existing community. But the only way to do that is to be part of the community yourself.

19. Chris
Squidoo Lenses are a good way to generate traffic. By using a lense,
you can generate your own custom “community” of webpages, including some
of the more popular pages in your “neighborhood.” Including your own
webpage in such a list is a good way of generating traffic.

20. Splork
I’ve had good success writing articles and submitting them to EzineArticles. Articles that have been written from well-researched keyword phrases and accepted by EzineArticles tend to rank very high in Google for that search term. Placing anchor text in the footer of those articles so the reader can visit my relevant website has always increased my site traffic.

21. Jen Gordon
I came upon some unexpected traffic when my blog popped up on some css design portals like www.cssmania.com and www.webcreme.com. If you can put some time into the concept behind and design for your blog, I’d recommend submitting your site to a design portal not only for
additional traffic but to build an additional community around your site.

22. Kat
I’ve recently gotten involved with several “MySpace-like” community sites that focus on my target audience. I share my thoughts in their forums, post intros to my real blog on their system blog and I’ve even created a group for my specific niche. It’s been very, very successful for me.

23. Inspirationbit
Well, obviously everyone knows that social bookmarking sites like Digg, del.icio.us, etc. bring lots of traffic. But I’m now submitting some of my articles to blogg-buzz.com (a digg like site for bloggers), and I always get not a bad traffic from there.

24. Mark Alves
Participate in Yahoo Answers and LinkedIn Answers where you can demonstrate your expertise, get associated with relevant keywords and put your URL out there.

25. Tillerman
Be the first to write a post about the ‘Top Ten Blogs’ in your niche. The post will rank highly in any general search for blogs in your niche and other bloggers in your niche write about the post and link to it.

26. Nick
Participating in forums is a great way to get loyal readers. Either link baiting people in your signature or posting great advice and tips will give you high quality traffic, which will result in return visitors.

27. Brandon Wood
A simple trick I’ve used to increase traffic to my blog is participate in group writing projects. In fact, that’s what I’m doing right now.

28. Alan Thomas
Don’t forget your archives. I just posted a roundup of all interviews I did over the past seven months. One of them generated a new link and a big traffic spike from a group of users that look like they will be loyal readers now.

29. KWiz
Write something controversial. I don’t think it’s good to write something controversial just for the purpose of getting traffic necessarily (especially if it’s only for that purpose and you’re being disingenuous), but it works.

30. Dennis Coughlin
Find the best blogs on your niche and contact the authors. Introduce yourself and send a link of your blog. This might help them to discover your blog, read it and possibly link to it.

Thanks for the organising this cool project.

inspirationbit on February 5th, 2007 2:10 pm

I’ve posted everyone on my site as well. I’m very glad I was one of the participants of this great project. Thanks, Daniel!
Daniel on February 5th, 2007 2:27 pm

thanks you guys for participating.

also lets chat about how we can improve the project next month, I am open for suggestions.
inspirationbit on February 5th, 2007 2:39 pm

How about getting answers on “What everyone learned from having their sites submitted to Digg?”. I’m sure everyone has something to say about Digg…
engtech on February 5th, 2007 2:44 pm

Crazy idea guys.

Changing the order of the posts will help deter “duplicate content” penalties.

So taking the 15 minutes to reorder the list into the order of your favorites is worth everyone’s time.

Converting it to an order list makes resorting it easier.

Hopefully this will make for cut-and-paste code.
Daniel on February 5th, 2007 2:45 pm

Actually I think I already have the topic for the next edition, but stories about Digg is definitely a good option, i will write it down.

I would also like to know if we should change the rules for participating or keep it as they are, possibly include a winner, etc.
engtech on February 5th, 2007 2:50 pm

Here is the text as an HTML ordered list.

Useful if you want to rearrange it in order of your favorites:

http://en.forums.wordpress.com.....;replies=1
engtech on February 5th, 2007 2:51 pm

@Daniel: The only rule I would change is ask people to reorder the list in some way to keep the posts from looking like duplicated content.
inspirationbit on February 5th, 2007 2:54 pm

I think including a Winner would make the projects even more attractive. But who’ll be the judge - you, Daniel? I’m ok with that - you’re the boss here
Daniel on February 5th, 2007 2:56 pm

Engtech,

I just changed the post with the following paragraph:

“Secondly, for the participants that will now write a post with a link to the entries, I would like to ask you guys to place a link directly to the participant blogs. I was thinking about letting everyone include the tips, but I am not sure whether this will create penalties for duplicated content or not.”

I guess you point about the duplicated content is relevant. I will research more about it to see whether re-ordering the list would eliminate the penalties.
Daniel on February 5th, 2007 2:57 pm

inspirationbig, if we adopt engtech’s advice making people order the list according to their preference we can count the tip that was nomitated on the first place more time and declare it the winner
inspirationbit on February 5th, 2007 3:18 pm

I’ve re-arranged the order on my post. Thanks to Engtech for the List code. Hope re-ordering would eliminate the duplicate content’s penalties.
engtech on February 5th, 2007 3:35 pm

I’m not entirely sure the re-order will change the duplicate content penalty in search engines, but at the very least it will increase the chances for everyone to be in the top spots of the list.

Plus everyone will read the list.
engtech on February 5th, 2007 3:41 pm

Also, the duplicate content penalty isn’t a big deal since the traffic from this article will be from the associates sites, not from search engines.
engtech on February 5th, 2007 4:17 pm

I’ve got my post up here:

I posted the list. Goodnes knows what my regular readers will think of it. They come to my blog for stories about sailing.
Kyle on February 5th, 2007 6:13 pm

Interesting tips everyone… and thanks for organizing Daniel.

I’ve simplified the list a bit and linked to the actual tip. If I have summarized your tip incorrectly, let me know and I’ll fix it.
Splork on February 5th, 2007 6:34 pm

List posted. One thing I did to try to avoid any dupe penalties is 1) reorder the list and 2) write a couple of intro paragraphs. It should help.
Steve Renner on February 5th, 2007 7:20 pm

This Software will help you to Generate high Quality links back to your site. It’s called the PR Backlink Generator. It allows you to put in a Keyword and bring up 100’s of Blog Sites in that niche along with their Page Rank. You can chose the page rank level you want 2, 3, 4, or above and then it gives the sites to you one by one in a nifty window, that Pre-Populates your info in the Reply comment boxes for fast Comment submissions. I used this to bring my Blog to #1 in Google, MSN and Yahoo. I will give this software to everyone FREE who posts this list with my link in their Blog. Just email me the link, and I’ll send you the Software along with the Video Instructional Tutorial.

Andrew Timberlake on February 5th, 2007 7:40 pm

Daniel

Thanks for this project, I have added my blog entry.

Suggestion:
The idea here is to promote different blogs, get links but also to to encourage on another to visit and/or interact with other blogs.

The one thing this project didn’t do was encourage visiting other blogs because all the tips are in one place.

If we each wrote our tips on our own post and your provided links to those posts, we would be able to get more effective link text for promotion purposes, we would need to visit other blogs for the actual tips and there would be no duplicate content problem because you’re not actually posting the content, just links.

Not sure if I’ve thought through it properly but the ideas there.
George on February 5th, 2007 10:00 pm

I put up my list here: http://www.canimakebigmoneyonl.....p-project/

I added comments to each tip.

Great group of tips.
Sridhar Katakam on February 5th, 2007 11:43 pm

Posted on my blog: http://www.sridhareena.com/200.....your-blog/
Daniel on February 6th, 2007 1:47 am

Andrew, I agree with you, maybe next time we can make bloggers post the tips on their blogs (I was not sure about this one because not all blogs deal with blogging tips).

Also thanks for everyone spreading the link love.
Wally on February 6th, 2007 12:14 pm

Hi I get alot of traffic from using a plugboard on my blog as well as traffic pods exchange. Blog explosions blog tycoon is a great service too. LOVE your blog. Its the kinda blog mine wants to grow up to be like.
Daniel on February 6th, 2007 12:20 pm

Thanks for the nice words Wally. I will definitely check your blog out.
Anthony on February 8th, 2007 7:32 pm

In comment 18 Goerge Manty suggests posting 3-5 times per day. I’ve recently added a second author to my blog and lately we have been posting up to 6 articles daily. What do you guys (and gals) think, can there be too much of a good thing? Is there a limit to how many articles a reader can find valuable per day?
Quest on February 9th, 2007 7:15 am

I found this great website with a whole lot of helpful links. You are going want the bookmark this, for sure.
Here it is: http://www.opportunitylinker.com
Daniel on February 9th, 2007 7:59 am

Anthony, 6 posts per day could be an overkill, depending on your topic. News-related blogs could get around with it, but I am not sure about your subject.
Mark Alves on February 9th, 2007 8:47 pm

My post is up now, too. Thanks again for making this possible, Daniel.
Maki on February 11th, 2007 8:07 pm

This meme-like blog project thingy seems pretty cool. Will be joining it the next time round.

Maki, thanks for subscribing, I am looking forward for your entry on the next project!

This is wonderful information. It looks like I have some work ahead of me, but I’ve also been able to quickly confirm that I’ve been doing some of the suggested things correctly already. Thanks again for another great post.
Kin Lane on February 13th, 2007 7:18 pm

Good to hear these tips from everyone employing them as well. Would like to see a cleaned up list without the duplicates giving everyone a daily worksheet they can work from!

Maybe I will compile when I find time.

Another practice that I follow is to keep your Blog URL as your IM presence information. ie. as Google Talk, Yahoo!, MSN Status.
It works well with friends especially if they are in MyBlogLog community .
Jones on March 6th, 2007 1:09 am

Excellent web site I will be visiting often
Nick on March 8th, 2007 5:04 pm

Thank you for excellent tips. I would add some of my obserwations. Keep active on your blog, there are always questions and spam. Kill spam and answer all the questions, even if “I don’t know” is the only answer you can give, still if keeps thing running and visitors “semi-satisfied”. Once I was on vacation and did not touch my blog for a couple of weeks. The drop of traffic was like 50%.
jennifer on March 17th, 2007 3:50 am

This is some really great advice and for all of us bloggers it needs to be taken to heart.
Thomas on March 27th, 2007 6:07 pm

Even after reading so many lists on the web for traffic building, I found this one interesting. One thing I noticed was the links you provided are linked to main page and not any speicific post or related point that you talk about.
Why is that ??
Thanks for your list !

Hi Daniel, and participants in the 30 traffic-generation-tips,

I found this blog when doing a search on list building tips.
You are actually the first listing for that phrase in Google.

I could not leave this discussion group without including a link to a prized possession that has resulted in more traffic than I thought was possible without paying for it. Once you see how this system works, you will know exactly why I believe that it will be the number one traffic generator very soon (once it’s discovered by more).

From my erxperience the most powerful way to generate content is to create a unique post and then submit to the likes of Digg. Good content will then soon spread. All of the above are useless unless your content is unique and good.
Quest on June 29th, 2007 8:45 pm

This article has lots of good nuggets in it. Also another way to generate loads of traffic is with “Long Tail Marketing.”

azriman sahril on July 13th, 2007 8:47 am

There are many advantages of your web blog above a website, except it’s easy to setup and free. You can put every thing in your blog: from a couple of lines what it is on your mind or your new article just published elsewhere, or a product review. In principle, a blog is the same as a website, but you will need to update more frequently to get the visitors to your site. A major advantage of your web blog here above a website to getting major search engines like Google and Yahoo to visit your blog frequently is a technique called “pinging”. It’s a method of notifying all of the major search engines and blog directories, each time that you have updated your blog. The search engines will come and to take a look at your blog, thereby increasing traffic to your blog. If you link your blog, the search engines will follow the links from the blog pointing to your sites. This will help the search engine rankings of your sites as well!

I especially found the tip about simplifying comples tasks to be an eyeopener…

How many times I have found the “documentation”for a project , software , or a “simple”installation to assume I already knew far more about th etopic than I did….I constantly get questions about things I think are simple,,,,,,but for somebody who has never heard of trackback, pinging, ftp, or “fill in the blanks” it can be overwhelming

Provides me lots of ideas to write about

Another way is through article and press distribution. Write a good article and submit it to free press or article services. But my favourite is participating in relevant forums. It never fails to invite good traffic to my site.

The orthodox online partook off that modern home. I gasped that kind amid a decision. The representative policy juggled prior to that artistic trading. I grinned that part below some exchange. I directed that trading through one forex. The trading has that clever reason.

Code4Gold on December 30th, 2007 7:57 pm

I’ve found that posting consistently and building up a large repitoire of articles over time is the real secret to generating traffic. Also, another tip is to simplify the titles of your posts to basic keywords and don’t overstuff the titles with unnecessary jibberish. A tight, concise title will usually draw you a wealth of traffic from the search engines. It’s very important for many new bloggers to recognize “the things you do today will come back to you tomorrow”. When I started out on my first few blogs two years ago, I was getting little to no traffic. Instead of concentrating on finding traffic sources, I focused on creating quality content and keeping my blogs updated at least 3-5 times per week. After two years and with some of the blogs past 300 posts, the traffic just keeps pouring in.

How to sell your house on April 13th, 2008 6:41 pm

One thing that does not work is buying traffic.

You have probably seen those ads - “10,000 real visitors to your site just $9.95″

Don’t believe it.
I paid for this via PayPal and then watched what happened. All I got were pings from all over Russia - each visit spent less than 0 seconds on the site, did not click on a single link and the bounce rate was 100%.

This amounted to nothing more than a slow rolling DOS attack using BOTs. Even if they did use popunders or some such, having them pop up or under on some Russian surfer’s screen - who does not read English - does me absolutely no good whatsoever.

I wrote them a nasty letter and demanded a refund and within hours got my money right back.

I don’t know how they could get away with this, unless the customer’s site had a lot of traffic already and they were really dumb with statistics.

There is some very good information here. I actually incorporate many of these ideas into my own blog already, but have to stand by ‘community’ as being one of the biggest audience getters. Not enough can ever be said about the importance of links, forums, back-links, etc. Also, don’t be afraid to reach out to larger sites-just because they get more traffic does not mean they won’t support what you do.

Some good points and all will generate traffic but no-one has mentioned the THE biggest traffic generator of all in the last two years…

What is it?

Video…

The great thing about it is that there are so many places to upload your videos and then link to them. Tubemogul is great and only needs one upload for distribution and tracking to all the most popular sites… I use it all the time… Oh, and it’s free.

I suggest that all small business owners introduce video marketing somewhere in their campaigns.

Simplify. Pay attention to complex issues in your field of work. It may be a big long publication that is hard to wade through or a concept that is hard to grasp. Reference it and make a shorter “for dummies” version with your own lessons learned and relevant tips. When doing this, I have been surprised to find that the simplified post will appear before the more complex version in search results.

Question? Are there ANY ethical and successful online marketers?

Yes and he has brought me traffic

From my experience online in the beginning my anwser would have been
a resounding no,but gradually I began to find a few online operators
who had integrity and some professional standards.

For anyone who has been on the treadmill of Internet Marketing and
attempted to learn about making money online and been the victim
of any one of thousands of self appointed money making Guru’s online.

I can report that I have at last found a man who has a real product
with real lessons and a great professional system.

John Reese is one of only a few online marketers that I have found
that does not constantly spam me with upsell offers on products of
poor or no quality and who geniunely seems to want people who buy
his products to really succeed just like he has.

John love your products and love your attitude.
I truely believe you have given me the information and the skills
to make an ethical online fortune and to built an online business
to be proud of.
