Of course you know how to create quality contents for your site, and you are committed to
to updating your blog 3-5 times in a week;

That’s right : )

But those are just one part of the game.
If you have worked online for a long time, you’ll agree with me that those that make it big in blogging are not working that hard, rather they work smart.

While others are hitting their heads on the table, they are relaxing and hanging out with their pals.

If you follow these steps I will show you here, you will gradually increase your blog traffic.

Here are they: )

1 Format your article properly:-

It is obvious your blog visitors expects to read quality posts from you, but they most importantly want contents that will be easier for them to read.

It is your duty to format your posts properly and make it easier for your reader’s eyes to jump from one line to the other.

Always have in mind that no matter how good your content is, if it is not easy to read, your readers won’t enjoy it and probably will not want to come back again.
Let your post column width be 80 characters or less.

2 Optimize your site for speed:-

If you think the loading speed of your site is not important, then you are wrong.

Here is why I said that: )

For every 1 second your site delays,
a. You are losing numbers of page views
b. Your customer satisfaction will be reducing
c. Your bounce rate will increase (Google detests high bounce rate).

Research shows that 45% of customers will hit the back button if a site loads more than 3 seconds.

All the above are what you don’t want happen.

If you want to check how fast your website loads, I suggest you visit

http://www.developersgoogle.com/speed/pagespeed/insights

or search google for more
And to be sure of your site speed
Use http://www.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-smushit to compress the images on your blog and increase the speed.


3. Interlink your articles:-
If you desire that your site will rank well in search engine, then there is need to always link your latest post with older and relevant articles.

Here is what I mean : )

If your latest post is “How to graduate from the best schools in town”, look for your older post on how to be a good student and link them together using anchor text

If you use word press, there are plugins that will help you locate your older articles fast.

4. Promote! Promote!! And Promote!!!:-

This is the greatest of them all. Promoting your blog content is what will bring your traffic and the money.

I suggest you spend 20% of your time creating content and 80% promoting it.
Promote on Facebook, twitter, instagram, twitter, pinterest, google+, linkedin, forums and others.

Just promote. Let people see your article and read.

You may be living money in the table if you are not doing so.

5. Answer every comment from your readers:- It is not that easy to get people comment on you post; you may be wondering why I included this.

If you see and comment in your post, that shows you that someone has already read your post, so you should encourage the commenter so he/ she will know you appreciate it.

Remember, people want to be wherever they are loved.

Again remember, if only 5 people commented on your blog, and you reply them, that will bring the number to 10.
When others see it, they will have the impression that your article is good.

5. Comment thoughtfully:-

Visit other blogs and comment on the post. As you do this, you are not only building links.

Not only that; if your comment is good, people can visit your site through your link

6 Join Bloggers secret society:- If your blog is new, this tactics for you.
There are places bloggers network to help each other.

They help to comment on their blogs, share and promote each other.

If your blog is still struggling for readers, then I suggest you join them
One of those places is

https://www./399478270202108?refid=27

Most of These group have stopped accepting people, but see if they will still accept you

What I want to tell you here is that thousands of people are competing with you on that same keyword you are targeting.
So you have to make sure that people see your post and also read it.




That’s why I want to Share with you about.
5 THINGS YOU MUST DO TO DRIVE QUALITY TRAFFIC WITH YOUR NEXT BLOG POST.

1 KNOW YOUR READERS PERSONAS:-
Do you know who your readers are?
Understanding who they are will help you know what they really want from you.

know what their Joy is, know their fears, and what's making them cry.



The best way to know your reader habit is to
a.Visit forums and look for what questions they are asking.



b.Use http://www.google.com/webmaster/tools to know where they are coming from, their age and sex.



c. Use survey. Here are questions to ask them
- What brings you the greatest frustration when it comes to ……………….?



- How do you feel whenever you get stuck?



- Have you tried in any way to solve the problem? if so what have you done?


- How would you feel when you see your problems solved?



Use one of these survey builders to survey them.

2. KNOW THE INFLUNCERS IN YOUR NICHE:-

Here is How to Do that

Influencers are people who are already known in your niche.



They are already established as an authority in the same niche you are, and have a lot of followers.
So…


Visit their sites, read their Posts, make quality Comments on their Post, follow them on twitter, connect with them on social media.



I am showing you how to build a relationship with the Influencers.



Here's what to do next



Write an article and use some of the Influencers quotes, and then contact them, telling them that you mentioned their names in your article.



Send the link to the article to them and ask them to Share your post with their readers if they like it.



To know who the Influencers are, use

3. USE GOOD ARTICLE HEADLINE:
A good headline makes the work much easier for you.


Your head line is what will attract people to read the body of your article, to Share your article and to interact with your post.


HERE IS HOW I DO MINE
a.I visit http://www.buzzfeed.com and look at their tittle, and then tweak it the way i want.


b. I also use http://www.udemy.com

I look at the article that's related to mine that generated much views and use it for my head line by tweaking it


4. SHARE YOUR POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Social media is a very good place to drive free and quality traffic from.


I use it a lot especially any time I have a new Content.

Here is how I use it



I joined some of the groups that is related to my niche.


I first of all build relationship with the group after reading the groups description and then

Any time I have a new Content on my blog.

What I do go to the groups, write a summary of my Post with a nice picture, and then drop my link there for anybody that’s interested to read the Post.

Believe me when I told you that if your headline is good, people will visit your site through the link and also Share your Post with their friends.


5. HAVE “SHARE” BUTTONS ON YOUR SITE:- Having share buttons on your blog will make your article easy to be shared.


Google now uses the share count as one of their ranking factor. So when you have share button on your, it will be easier for your blog visitors to share your article.


Sharing will expose your article to more people, and will also increase your page view.
Use shareholic plugin or search google for “Social share button”

Blogging is simply an online journal where you can write about(blog) about anything you like.However it is better to blog about what people want to know about,in other words, you have to learn how to know what people are looking for by knowing what the are searching for in the search engine like google.com or even from forums like this.So many software are available on the internet to make it easier for you at least to know the keyword they use in there search,how many people are searching for the same thing you are interested in and even how many times people search for it,google will also show yow how many websites are already promoting the same keyword.When you are through with that,then you have to create a blog sorrounding the keyword.Then you will need to monetize your blog in such a way that anybody that comes to your blog will either click on your google adsence,or buy any product you are promoting,whether clickbank product or amazon.These websites will pay you a corresponding commission for any product you are able to sell.The next is to drive traffic to your site and there are so many ways you can do that.See you at the top.
