How to increase your Blog traffic by 400 percent?

Have you spent hours on writing a great piece of content for your Blog to get attention of people who are related to your niche and you haven’t got that success which you were expecting?

Are you still believing on that old phrase that quality content will generate traffic for your Blog automatically? If yes then you are wrong.

How can people reach your content when no one knows about it.

The problem is that online marketers have always told us to focus on quality content but not on sharing it which is probably the biggest mistake we do.

If you have something to show then reach out people and let them know about it,

This is what we call content marketing. 

You need to promote it yourself, your content don’t have legs that it will reach out people itself. For links and traffic one must share it on every single place where he can.

Some people do share their content but the main problem is that people don’t share their content on right places. They will share it on those places where no one is interested to read it.

So today we will talk about a content promotion strategy which will help you to grow your Blog traffic by 400 percent in 30 days.

For this we have to engage with people on some social media platforms and niche related forums and websites.

BuzzBundle

I have write several times about BuzzBundle. It is one of my favourite tools to promote content. All I have to do is to write a few keywords/phrases and BuzzBundle will roll a search for me.

Thanks to Matthew Woodward who introduced this super fantastic tool to me.

It will find every single Social Engagement, Blog post, Forum topic and Q&A websites queries which are related to my typed keywords. Then I will engage with my audience directly by using 4 different BuzzFeeds.

• Blogs
• Social networks
• Forums
• Q&A sites

And one more addition to the table is Video Streaming Websites for the new versions.

As I said earlier I have already write about BuzzBundle many times. If you want to know that how you can use it to grow your audience then read the article which is shared below:

Facebook Groups

Facebook is the number 1 social media website in terms of traffic. It has over 1.24 billion users world wide which makes it the largest Social platform for internet surfers.

Wecan find any type of people on Facebook who can be from any field. You can find engineers, students, Bloggers, SEO gurus or a company CEO on Facebook. All kind of people with different ages and different life styles are engaged with Facebook somehow.

So what could be a better idea to find people who are related to your niche to share your content? But the problem is that where we can find them? Obviously, we don’t know that where they live and what are their Social media account’s addresses.

So the best place to meet people who are related to your niche is a Facebook group which is related to your Blog niche.

Just join a few groups on Facebook, share your content with people around there and build relationships with them. Adding them into your friend list will be a good idea because whenever you will share something on your profile they will directly get a notification which can lead them to visit your Blog.

We will assume that you own a Blog which is related to Blogging, now we will search for Blogging related groups:

As you can see that Facebook will show you a ton of groups that can be related to your niche. Just join every single of them which you believe is useful for you.

Once you have got the admin approval to join the group, share your content with the Facebook audience and turn them yours.

Linkedin Groups

Linkedin is the most biggest social platform for online marketers and for people who are related to online money making somehow. With a thousand of users for every single niche related group, You will have the opportunity to drive some serious traffic to your Blog by just sharing your content there.

By Using Linkedin Groups you can do:

• Targeted Content Promotion
• Direct communication with Industry influencers
• Relationship building with people who are related to your niche

So what you are waiting for? Just sign-up for Linkedin(if you don’t have done it already), build a good profile, join some groups that can be useful for you and share your content there.

You can start joining Linkedin groups by following the procedure as shown below in images:

Once you have pressed enter you will get some results:

Now search for your niche related Groups and join them one by one.

Google Plus Communities

Google Plus is a growing community with over 1.3 million registered accounts it has proven its value in the internet world.

But what makes it so special for us is that most of the online marketers who are related to different kind of niches emphasis more on Google Plus instead of others.

The best thing about Google Plus is that when someone will +1 your shared link, your link will earn a juicy do-follow link which is great for search engine rankings

You can read my article about how Google Plus and Youtube can help you to earn some quality backlinks 

So what you will need to do is to join some Google+ Communities that is related to your Blog’s topic:

Search for some decent communities who have at-least more than 500 members and join them.

After joining them repeat the same process as we did with Facebook and Linkedin groups. (Share your content and try to build relationship with people around there)

Blogging Communities

Blogging Communities are a great source to meet bloggers from all around the world. You can find health bloggers, SEO consultants and many other bloggers from different niches.

Blogging communities will also help you to gather some quality do-follow backlinks for your Blog since they have very high Page ranks(PR 5 to PR 7). All you need to do is to share your article there and try to promote it as much as you can and ask people around there to like (up-vote) your content.

Once it will reach the main page of your community you will notice that your Blog’s traffic will increase rapidly. To monitor your traffic you can use Google Webmaster tools.

Now if you will ask me to recommend some good and popular blogging communities to you then I will ask you to read this article to get my top 5 recommended blogging communities.

But one of my favourite Blogging community is BlogEngage because they will directly get your content on top of their Home page whether it gets a ton of likes or not which means that you will earn a PR 4 backlink for your content by just pressing a button, as you can see below:

Twitter

One another good way to increase your blog traffic will be to engage with Twitter users. Just get your keywords noted in your diary, visit your twitter handle and search for related hashtags as shown below:

Try to engage with people around twitter who have made some tweets related to your keywords. Just reply to their tweets and let them know about your content.

Link Poaching

Thanks to Robbie Richards who let me knew of this great link building strategy. In link poaching you first need to analyze your competitor’s backlink profile.

For this we can use many tools including Majestic SEO, SEO SpyGlass, Backlink Watch, SmallSEOtools backlink checker, Open Site Explorer and many other different backlink profile checking tools but we will only focus on these tools that I have shared.

Just use any of these tools, type your competitor’s URL for which you want to compete and download all the backlinks data into your computer’s hard drive.

Now separate directory and forum links and email every single Blog owner to let him know about your piece of content where you will straightaway ask him to link your content from his website.

Head over to each site and try to find their email addresses. If you can’t find their email addresses then try to follow them on Twitter and engage with them directly.
