How to Boost Your Blog Traffic through Social Media

People are changing their lives daily with blogging, whether it is through personal stories, building resources for others or using a blog to generate some extra money on the side. Traffic is one of the most important parameters for your blog; the more people who find your blog, the more people who will read your ideas. If you’re ready and willing to have your blog admired in the online community, then try a few different methods of increasing blog traffic. You’ll create better content in the end, and probably have dozens of new viewers each day.

That was before millions of people were connecting with new people every day to exchange information — before social networks dominated online news distribution.

Your social media engagement and conversion rates have a lot to do with the kind of blog content you create. If the quality of your content is low, then most of your optimization techniques will be ineffective. In general, social media users prefer highly actionable and interesting content written in a fun way.

How to increase your blog traffic?

 

The bad news is that it’s not quite that simple. Was Japan built in a day?  NO Then why to worry. It takes doing several things right—and doing them over a long period of time.

The good news is that it’s not rocket science. I have used several basic techniques to increase my blog traffic every year since I started tracking it in 2008 using Google Analytics. Some years have been better than others, but all have shown an increase:

Year Pageviews Increase
2008 574,778 N/A
2009 1,496,241 160.3%
2010 1,972,497 31.8%
2011 5,060,331 156.5%
2012 7,030,343 38.9%
2013 7,802,426 11.0%
2014 9,236,113 18.4%

 

I believe you can dramatically increase your blog traffic by following these ten strategies.
