Easy Ways to Get More Traffic for Blog Posts

Anyone can create a blog or website today and be online in minutes. However, without traffic, that new website or blog will do you very little. Generating traffic doesn’t have to be difficult and there are many free methods you can use to get more traffic for the blog and websites you own.

The first method is to have an active Facebook page that links to your blog or website. Build your fan page by commenting on other popular Facebook pages in your niche. Don’t spam, but actively participate in the conversation. People will see your post and may visit your page, if they “like” your page you have them as an audience. Once you have a good sized fan base, you can post links to new blog posts you publish and generate easy traffic.

Article marketing is another free yet effective and time-tested method of getting more traffic to the blog posts you write. Article marketing means that you are writing articles that are related to your niche and submitting them to major article website directories like EzineArticles.

Every article you write and submit allows you to place links in the author resource box at the end of the article. When the reader is done with the article, they often click on the link to read more. So make sure your content is of good quality so that the reader has a reason to see more of what you offer.

Asking other blog owners in your niche if you can provide them with a guest blog post in exchange for putting some links in the article back to your site is a great way to get free traffic. As long as the content is 100% unique to that blog and of high quality, most blog owners will be happy to post free content!

If you want faster results, you can always try pay per click to get more blog post traffic. Pay per click means that you are paying for every click you receive. One of the most popular programs is Google AdWords. Beware of pay per click and set your daily budgets low to start with or you could end up owing a lot of money for little performance.

As you can see, there are many easy and low-cost ways to get more traffic for blog posts. Each method will require a bit of work on your part, but like anything, the more you put in, the more you get. So stay focused and before you know it you will have a lot of traffic on your blog!
