Blog Traffic Tips

Here are the top techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers.

• Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be series about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL.
• 
  
• Write at least 10 major pillar articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good how-to lesson.
• 
  
• Write one new blog post per day minimum. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical.
• 
  
• Submit your articles to Article sites (EzineArticles.com, for example) This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have – your articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.How you benefit is through what is called your Resource Box.You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website . Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers and potential buyers at once.
