TopBlog Pk - Welcomeback topblogpk.blogspot.com friends. One of the most common complaints I hear from bloggers is the fact that no matter how hard they try, their blog can't grow past 100 views a month or even less than daily views. The early days are the most difficult because you need to work hard without the certainty of achieving maximum results. So, for novice bloggers, don't be sad because this is natural.
It is no doubt, for bloggers or online businesses, traffic is very important because all bloggers or internet marketers will want their website to be famous and can be a profitable business. Actually there are many ways we can do to help increase the number of visitors to our site. Some efforts to increase traffic to the site, we can do it for free, or paid.
Then what is the most suitable strategy for your blog or website? In this article I will try to explain several ways to increase potential traffic for our website, both for free or by way of payment. Although there are many ways that we can do, but not all ways can match the type of blog / website that we have. We must be wise in choosing the source of traffic so that the results are more leverage.
Increase Blog or Website Traffic for Free
As I mentioned before, we can get traffic to our business sites or blogs for free.
However, it takes continuous effort and in the right way so that the traffic obtained in accordance with what we expect. So that income increases. Good, just here are some ways to increase visitors to your blog / website for free:
1. Through Blog Walking (BW)
Blog Walking is the activity of visiting other people's blogs / websites that are still related to our blog, then leaving comments on the blog / website.
There are many blogs that provide a column to leave a website URL for people who make comments on their site, this is what we should use as well as possible. Never leave SPAM comments on other people's blogs because that will only give you a bad image as a blogger or internet marketer. Make it a habit to read the article written first before leaving a comment so that you understand giving comments that fit the topic of the article.
By commenting well and leaving our blog URL in the column provided, you will get a backlink to your site. In addition, it is very likely that other visitors on the blog will also visit your site when they see the comments you give. From this blog walking process we can get quite a lot of traffic, but it does take extra effort by giving comments on other blogs first.
2. Through Social Bookmarking Sites
Social bookmarking sites were originally created to help netizens save the website addresses they like, so that it will be easier for them when they want to open the website later on. In its development, social bookmarking sites are often used for SEO optimization and also to get traffic. Well, what I write here is direct traffic from Social Bookmarking, not the effect on the SEO of a site.
We can save the URL of the blog / website or the URL of our blog article posting to social bookmarking sites, in the hope that other users will be interested in the URL that we submit and visit our site with social bookmarking media. In addition, social bookmarking sites also often get traffic from search engines. So, in my opinion the possibility to get traffic from Social Bookmarking sites is quite potential and must be utilized properly.
3. Through Social Media Sites
Many people say, now is the era of social media and that is very true. The growth of social media users in Pakistan alone has experienced a very significant increase. Plus the development of smartphones in Pakistan has been very rapid. Most smartphone users must have accounts on social media sites, at least one of the social media sites. Well, of course this is a big enough traffic potential for us blog / website owners.
Businesses that are popular on social media will certainly not find it difficult to get the attention of other social media users. That is why many businesses experience increased profits after they optimize social media for their business. Some social media that are often used to get traffic are Facebook, Twitter, Google plus, YouTube, and Pinterest. Actually there are still some social media that can be used, but based on my experience, the 5 sites I mentioned are the most popular social media.
4. Through the Forum Site
Discussion forum sites are often used by internet marketers as a medium to get traffic to their business blogs / websites. There are many forum sites that allow links in threads or in the signatures of their members.
Surely this must be utilized as well as possible. One thing we must pay attention to is maintaining a good name in the forum, read the rules in the forum before proceeding further. Do not create threads that are not useful or threads that can make your reputation tarnished. Take advantage of the forum's signature link facility as well as possible, take advantage of the link facility in the forum thread properly. There are some forums that do not allow links in the thread, don't violate these rules.
Some forums that I recommend to get traffic and backlinks are themezest, touchtogain, quizdoor, topblogpk etc and others. There are still many forums that we can use to get referral traffic, but I suggest to focus on some of the most potential forums for your business.
5. Guest Posting on Other Blogs
There are many blogs that give others the opportunity to submit articles and put links on their blogs. Of course the articles we post on the blog must be in accordance with the criteria they specify. We can put our business site link in the author section, some blogs allow their authors to put a link in the article. In addition to providing SEO effects, referral traffic from these blogs is certainly quite a lot, especially if we write articles on blogs that are already famous.
Actually there are still many other free ways to get visitors to our site. But the five ways that I have mentioned above are actually very good if we can optimize it. I myself focus on these four ways because in addition to providing direct traffic, the four ways that I have mentioned above have proven to provide a good SEO impact on my blog. Good SEO will certainly allow our site to get free traffic from search engines, such as Google.
Increase Blog or Website Traffic in a Paid Way
For those of you who don't want to wait for the optimization process for free, then a paid method can be done to get traffic to your business blog / website. Advertising in several media can have a very good impact on increasing traffic, but so as not to be too wasteful, it helps us choose media that is truly effective and in accordance with the target business sites. The following are some ways to increase visitors to your blog / website by paying:
1. Advertise On Social Media Sites
Facebook is the most effective social media for advertising because the conversion of ads on social media on this one proved to be very good. On Facebook Ads we can choose the target audience that best suits the category we need, this is what will affect the effectiveness of the ads we install.
Based on my experience, placing ads on Facebook Ads is very easy to do. We can set how much budget we want to spend on an ad click, and we can also set a target audience that suits our business.
2. Install PPC Ads
Google Adwords is the most well-known PPC advertising media hosting company today. This Google-owned company already has a network of advertisers (advertisers) and publishers with a very large number throughout the world, including in Pakistan. The advantage of Google Adwords is that the ads that appear on their publisher sites are advertisements that fit the article.
I personally have never put ads on Google Adwords, but there are many testimonials from advertisers who say they are satisfied with Google Adwords services and have a positive impact on their business. Well, for those of you who want to get potential traffic to your business site, it never hurts to try Google Adwords.
3. Advertise on Online Classified Ad Sites
Another way to get traffic to a business blog / website is to use classified ad sites. Actually there are many classified ad sites that provide classified ad space for free, but I would recommend paying ones because usually the results are much better than free ones.
Conclusion:
We don't need to do all the marketing strategies to get traffic to our site. We must understand about our own site first, so that we can know which strategies are more effective in increasing traffic to our blog / website visitors. Sometimes the free method is more effective, but in many cases, the faster and more effective way to pay gives potential traffic to your business blog / website. In addition, we must also pay attention to matters relating to the quality of our website, such as the quality of the content, navigation system, loading speed, and others.Hopefully it can be useful for you.
