A Few Blogging Tips Concerning Traffic

There are certain blogging tips that every site owner should

subscribe to no matter what stage they are at in the blog

building process. The strength and popularity of most blogging

sites are reflected in the amount of traffic they attract. It is

how this blog traffic is nurtured and developed that will make

the biggest difference in the degree of success the site

experiences.

Here are 3 'truths' that need to be recognized and/or addressed

in order to build or sustain the type of blog traffic you

need to make your site a success.

Traffic Quality Varies

The blog building process involves developing a flow of traffic

from an assortment of sources online. It is important to

understand that each source will contribute a different

level of quality and volume of traffic

to your site. Knowing this will help you better use your own

time insofar as how you prioritize it for generating blog

traffic at these various sources.

Some sources such as social networks may bring in a high

volume of visitors but these people are generally not as

focused and therefore will not return. Forums may produce

a much lower volume of visitors but then these people

are a higher focus group and their return is more likely.

Inbound Links

Inbound links have a great influence over the growth and

sustainability of traffic to your site. There are many

reasons links like these help to positively impact the blog

building process.

Search engines view inbound links to a site as a sort

of validation for the importance of that site within the

niche. This normally will help increase the ranking of

the site resulting in more traffic that is both free and

targeted.

Incoming links also open up additional 'streams' of

visitors that come from the linking sites themselves.

Network

Connecting with other sites that share a similar interest

to yours is another way of building a solid foundation.

The 'connections' you develop can lead to joint venture

opportunities, a sharing of new ideas, guest blogging

opportunities and more inbound links.

The importance of these type connections is that they

are established directly with other people. Connections

like these are more meaningful and permanent because

of the interests you share and the support potential

available. Relationships built merely on algorithms

(search engines) or business objectives are much more

fleeting and temporary in nature.

There are certain fundamental blogging tips that go to

the very core of the blog building process. These tips are

something every site should pay attention to no matter

what their stage of development or level of expertise.

The strength and popularity of most blogging sites is

normally reflected in the level of traffic they receive.

It is how this blog traffic is nurtured and developed

that dictates the long term success of the site. The 3

'truths' we spoke of here address critical areas that

will affect the strength of your sites foundation or rate

of growth. Proper adherence to these areas will greatly

increase the effectiveness of your site and your chances

of achieving long term success.
