Increase Traffic to your Blog with this Method
by Frank Jovine on 07/15/2009 in SEO Tips
There are so many ways to increase traffic to your blog. And in no order, they’re;
- Social Networks – StumbleUpon, Reddit, Digg, etc.
- Forums and Message Boards – Being an active member with your blog URL in your signature.
- Guest Posting – A great way to build your reputation and gain fans.
- Online Ads – It cost money, but it still is an effective way to bring visitors to your site.
- PPC (Pay Per Click) – Very expensive and should only be used for businesses.
These are just a handful of the most popular marketing techniques to increase traffic to your blog. You can also read this article to help you increase traffic to your blog.
The cheapest and fastest way to drive more traffic to your blog is Yahoo Answers. There are many categories in Yahoo Answers that you can choose from. You should choose a category that you usually blog about and use an article you published as a reference for an answer. I reply to at least 5 questions per day and have received more than 100 visits in one day. I only answer questions in the Computer/Internet and Search Engine Optimization categories.
Here’s how it works
- Search for questions you can answer and you have an article on your blog you can reference.
- Make sure you provide details.
- Check your grammar and spelling.
- Provide a resource link to an article you have published on your blog where it says (What’s your source?).
It really works, but it takes time to find questions that you can reference one of your articles on.
Answering 5 questions with references to your published article takes roughly 30 minutes. You can potential get more than 100 visitors in one day for 30 minutes of work.

Yahoo Answers does bring in some great, targeted traffic, because the people who find those questions later are obviously interested in your niche. I used to do this with some great results, and need to get back at it.
Thanks,

Thanks Frank for sharing these valuable information and giving us the constant reminder about working through our traffic. I never tried Yahoo Answers before, and since you and Kristi encourage it, I will give it a try. ^^ Hopefully there’ll be some positive impact from there.

Very nice, love the list. I am a new follower to your blog, but have gone back and read many of the previous posts and gotten a lot of knowledge from them. One quick question, Is there any difference from trying to get traffic to a website as apposed to a blog? thanks…

I am having a hard time understanding what you are saying. Link exchanges are time consuming.
