Drive Traffic to Your Blog/ Website: Ways That You Can Captivate Readers From Popular Forums

Posted on July 14th, 2011 in Writing by Jessi10

One of the things that will make your blog or website be a complete success is of course traffic. If you are a writer, and you want to make money online, the one thing that you need, regardless if you have a blog, website, or just writing for either is traffic, or an active audience.

This however, is not always easy or possible, because new writers have to compete or have to deal with constant criticism (I should know!). But getting or driving traffic to any new website or blog does not have to be hard, or a headache for that matter. It is easy and it is even fun!

Here’s what I’ve learned in just a few months!

So, you’ve finally made your website or blog and now you are ready to promote it! But how? The main idea or concept when making a blog of website is to have it read by other avid readers and to have people like what you have to say. Any person can make a website or blog and market the hell out of it. The thing is that as much as people actually market their sites, they have to be able to get people to connect with them too! So how can this be done?

Well, from personal experience, I’ve learned that you can write all you want, but if you dont have people reading your work, it really does not matter how much you have online. In order to get people to read your stuff, you have to go to where people actively see whats new in their topic of choice, and what they are interested in.

Here are some tips:

Visit forums that focus on your favorite topics to write about and interact with others.
Drop a link to your website or blog whenever you talk to others about their articles, or whenever someone talks to you!
Update your site DAILY especially when you are first connecting with people. Why? Because people are expecting fresh and new ideas. Not ideas that they’ve read a million times before.
Tell writers about your blog, and have them mention you on their site. This has actually worked for me before, and it did wonders for my blog!
Finally, connect via other social bookmarking sites and make sure you link you website or blog to every site. This is to make sure that whenever a person reads a review or comment, they have a link that will connect them back to you!
