One of the key parameters to the success of a blog is to
drive traffic to it. Since many bloggers assume this isn’t an easy task, a
determined blogger will have to adopt shrewd measures in order to achieve this
purpose.

For a new blog, there are several ways by which reasonable
traffic can be gathered and in this post, you will be guided on some of the
easy things you can do to optimize your experience in the aspect of blog traffic.
Advertise Your Brand

Advertisement is one of the easiest means through which huge
traffic can be driven to a blog. As a new blogger who is bent on generating
awareness, you can visit various online forums and inform their members about your
blog and what you’re committed to offering as a blogger. In this quest, you can
simply share some of your blog posts to active online forums and then attach
relevant links at the bottom of the posts. Through these links, interested
readers will be triggered to visit your blog in order to read more.
Allow Guest Posting

By allowing other bloggers to publish their posts on your
blog, you can tap sufficient traffic. You’re also advised to submit your
posts to other people’s blogs. This makes you a guest blogger and the major
advantage of this is that sufficient backlinks can be driven to your
website/blog.
But again, it is wise to be decisive in the task of guest
posting. By way of being strategic, you can review a few sites to find out the
ones which have high domain authority. If you can establish yourself as a guest
blogger on the websites that have high domain authority, your blog posts will
receive more views from the visitors of those sites.
However, guest posting isn’t always easy because only
specific blogs receive guest posts from other bloggers.
Share Your Blog Posts

There are tons of relevant groups you can share your blog
posts to. By “relevant groups’’, I mean the groups which pertain to your
blogging niche. If for instance your field –as a blogger –is fashion, it would
seem absurd to share your fashion-oriented posts to a sport group.
Meanwhile, there are many groups on social networks –like
Facebook –where you can share your blog posts to and generate sufficient
traffic to your blog.
Give Response to Blog Comment

When visitors read some of your interesting blog posts, they
can be urged to comment on the post or even ask questions. By ignoring these
questions, you’re not encouraging the visitors to come again or review the
other posts on your blog.

Also, you should be very quick to respond to blog posts so
that your visitors won’t feel uninterested. In reality, visitors like some
interactive relationship and it pleases them when you respond early to their
questions.
