Lack of website traffic is one of the most common challenges I
hear from business owners. Many report having lost a
significant percentage of their search traffic over the past year or
two, and are continuously looking for new ways to drive relevant
traffic to their site.
This article is an attempt to give marketers and business owners
a whole battery of straight-to-the-point, actionable tips for
getting traffic to your website or blog. While some of these
strategies won’t be a quick fix, you may be surprised how
quickly many of them start to generate results.
1. Focus on long-tail keywords – The days of focusing on a
single keyword for each page are long gone. Make sure
your posts include all the relevant terms and phrases
related to your topic. For help with finding long-tail
keywords, see my post How to Find LSI (Long Tail)
Keywords Once You’ve Identified Your Primary Keywords
.
2. Start a forum on your website – An active forum can quickly
begin ranking for long-tail keywords. They’re also great for
decreasing your site’s bounce rate, increasing time-on-
site, as well as building a community.
3. Start a Facebook group that drives traffic to your site – Start
a niche-specific group where members can ask questions
and get support (and don’t forget to point them back to
your site’s content where relevant).
4. Submit your blog posts to StumbleUpon – It works!
5. Promote your blog posts to your email list – This doesn’t
have to be the main focus of all your emails, but including
a link or two back to your blog posts can considerably
increase traffic, leads, and sales.
6. Answer a HARO query – Answering a pitch only take a few
minutes, and can result in great PR, high-quality inbound
links and referral traffic to your site.
7. Work on your headlines – Your headlines are what will get
people in the door, particularly when you share your blog
posts via social media; make sure they pique interest and
clearly articulate the benefit to your readers. For help with
that, see “ The Online Marketer’s Guide to Writing High-
Converting Headlines
.”
8. Join a blogging community like ProBlogger or CopyBlogger –
This is a great way to network with other bloggers, and to
cross-promote each other’s content.
9. Include links to other relevant posts on your blog – When
you write a post, always be sure to mention other posts
your readers may find helpful; this is great for SEO as well
as for increasing time-on-site, conversion rates, and
referral traffic.
10. Guest post on relevant blogs – There’s not much point
guest blogging on a site in an unrelated niche; make sure
you only contribute to highly-relevant, high-quality sites in
your niche. See “ The Ultimate, Step-by-Step Guide to
Building Your Business by Guest Blogging
.”
11. Become a columnist or contributor on a well-known website
– If you can become a guest contributor on an authority
site like Huffington Post or Forbes, you not only drive
targeted traffic to your site, but establish yourself as an
expert in your field.
12. Optimize your existing posts – Comb through your old
posts to make sure they have unique and relevant title
tags, URLS and meta descriptions.
13. Demote irrelevant Google sitelinks – While Google sitelinks
are automatically generated, you can demote URLS you
don’t want to show; this may increase the chances that the
URLS you do want listed show up. You can do this from
within Google Webmaster Tools.
14. Arrange an advertising swap – Trade banner ads with a
complimentary site in your niche.
15. Post more frequently – Neil Patel of QuickSprout found that
by posting high-quality posts 6x per week (as opposed to
5), blog traffic increased by 18.6%. Find your magic number
and commit to seeing it through. Remember that in many
cases, the traffic increases you see from blogging are
scalable.
16. Submit your posts to Reddit – Yes, this also still works.
17. Mention influencers in your tweets – When you cite, quote
or mention someone in a blog post, be sure to @ mention
them in your tweet when you promote your post.
18. Focus your energy on strategies that are working – You
don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. Study your
analytics to see your main traffic drivers, and focus on
your energy on these areas.
19. Build connections with others in your niche – I know this
sounds cliché, but building personal relationships with
other bloggers in your niche will often result in organic
inbound links and referral traffic to your site.
20. Make sure you have every relevant keyword you can think of
on your site – I’m not talking old-school keyword
spamming here. I’m talking about focusing on topical
content; and making sure you at least have the chance of
being found for all your relevant keywords, no matter how
obscure they may be.
21. Create a top 10 website post – Select the top 10 blogs in
your niche, and write a post about them. You may also
want to create a simple badge or banner those sites can
embed to show off their award.
22. Make the most of Facebook links – Be sure to include links
back to your site in your About page, in your photo
descriptions, in the comments of your posts (where
relevant), and in your milestones.
23. Get on YouTube – YouTube drives the most engaged traffic
out of all social media sites, with an average of 2.99 pages
per visit .
24. Add text to your blog post images – Try including your post
title and URL in your blog post images for optimal effect
when pinned or shared.
25. Become a member of industry Facebook and LinkedIn groups
– Offer valuable advice and info to build relationships and
drive traffic to your site.
26. Connect with bloggers who are already sending you traffic –
If someone has already linked to your site, they obviously
like what you have to say. Contact them to see if there are
other ways they could help promote your content (and vice
versa).
27. Ask a well-known blogger to guest post on your site –
They’ll likely share the post with their audience, driving
traffic to your site.
28. Respond to blog comments – Respond thoughtfully to all
comments on your blog. This is great for building
relationships, as well as for driving commenters back to
your site.
29. Add your blog to Alltop – As an aggregate for all kinds of
web content, submitting your blog increases your chances
of getting found by people looking for content in your
niche.
30. Answer Questions – Visit sites like Yahoo Answers or Quora
and answer questions relevant to your niche.
31. Write a Response Post – Respond to a controversial post in
your niche and then let the original poster know about it.
Chances are good they won’t be able to resist responding
to it on their blog.
32. Contact influential bloggers – When you write a
groundbreaking or newsworthy post, notify influencers in
your field. You may be surprised at how many link back to
your post.
33. Make proper use of categories – If you haven’t already
organized your content into relevant categories, now’s the
time. Categories are great not only for SEO, but for helping
your readers find relevant content.
34. Write landmark posts - Create at least a few long-form,
authoritative posts that will organically garner links and
attention over the long haul.
35. Comment on industry blogs - Become a regular commenter
on a popular blog in your niche to help drive referral traffic
and to establish relationships with other bloggers.
36. Interview influencers in your niche – They will be very likely
to promote the interview to their audience.
37. Share your blog posts regularly on Facebook - Post a short
excerpt from your posts to entice them to click through.
38. Share your posts on Triberr - Meet other bloggers and share
each other’s content.
39. Add your blog to Technorati – As the world’s largest blog
directory, claiming your blog should be standard procedure
for all bloggers.
