Go from Blah to BLOG by Increasing Your Blog Traffic in Three Easy Steps

Every blogger has fond fantasies of ousting John Stewart and Erma Bombeck as the next household name. Who doesn’t want to be the word on the tip of everybody’s tongue? It takes a lot more than clever content and ideas to make that happen though. It’s not enough to be an uber blogger. You have to be an uber blogger with a fan base, and the only way to do that is to pump up your blog’s web traffic.

But you’ve been there. You’ve done that. You’ve maxed out the keywords, you’ve advertised your blog on your website, you’ve researched the web until you know what’s hot and what’s not better than the industry experts. You’re still struggling. If that sounds like you, it’s time to pull out the big guns and start taking advantage of these tried and true methods of attracting mad visitors to your blog site.

Number One: Have you bought your daily ration of backlinks?

One of the most attractive parts of keeping a blog is its ability to generate mass exposure without costing you a small fortune, but if traditional methods aren’t getting you anywhere it might be time to dip into your pockets and pick up some high quality backlinks.
Yes, backlinks can be bought. Isn’t it scary that Google uses them as part of its quality score?

Think of backlinks like professional patient referrals. Your readers have a problem your industry neighbor can’t solve, so they’re sending them over to you. They’re not going to refer their readers to someone they don’t trust-that would kill their own reputation. So if a reputable site is referring you, you have to know your stuff. Search engines respect that, and they’re willing to give you some bonus exposure for it.

Number Two: Trade your placed content in for something more dynamic

Information you have to click on a navigation tab to find is great, unless you can’t find the navigation tab! Dynamic CMS platforms can do wonders for the accessibility of your web content and pump up your readership in strange and amazing ways. You’ll be astonished to see what this one little leap can do that months of psychoanalyzing keywords couldn’t.

Number Three: Buy traffic

Did you know that some of the hottest Internet marketing gurus out there actually bought their mailing list? Seriously! There are millions of places out there that have web traffic just lying around they’ll be happy to kick your way for the right (cheap) price. Remember, people are sheep. If you can get high volumes of web traffic coming to your site through one of these certified providers, more will come. It’s all about setting your personal pride aside, just for a second, and being willing to take that first step.
