If you have a blog and would like to learn a quick and simple method for driving free traffic and search engine rankings, this article shows you everything you wanted to know, step-by-step.
Before we move forward I want to talk about obtaining traffic and why nearly all bloggers get it wrong.
Up to 89% of blog owners think about traffic as hits, and put people all together. They are looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – at the end of the other line there is a breathing human being; with most likely the same problems, wants as you.
If these bloggers wouldn’t appear at traffic as hits, and can provide thought on who they actually want to attract, and who are they really talking to on their blog, traffic generating may not seem hard anymore.
Yes, for many bloggers traffic generation is rocket-science.
After you master the fundamentals, blogging for traffic will appear a total breeze. Just look around, and notice the professional bloggers out there. Do you believe they’re looking for traffic? Not at all; they’re probably not actively generating traffic. They make traffic work for them.
Here is an illustration to make my point across:
Imagine blogger A [the newbie] on the other side of the road… attempting to attract the attention of the audience [the cars on the street and folks around] holding a BIG red sign “Visit my blog ->”
Now picture blogger B [the skilled] who has a whole army of people and cars advertising on his behalf, each one across the road.
eighty-nine% of bloggers are trying too hard to get their traffic; they are publishing articles and writing blog posts; dabbling with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.
A small percentage of the bloggers out there acknowledge the power of leveraging so they’re taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.
If you wish to get on the boat of professional bloggers, then you’ve got to act like they act and do what they do:
Step #1 – think BIG and keep your focus [know who are you really talking with; who's your ideal shopper?]
Step #2 – run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your field and industry
Step #3 – never pay for advertising unless you’ve got your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know exactly your visitor value - click and lead revenue]
If you know that for each visitor to your blog, you are making $1 a month on average, then you probably can afford to pay fifty cents per unique visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit, right?
