How to increase blog traffic is a topic that basically all bloggers should learn more about.Want more traffic? Here are some tips for attracting more visitors to your site:

1. Write good, shareable content.

The first and most important thing is to write good, easy-to-follow content that makes people want to share.“Content is King”. To be an authority in your niche you have to prove that you provide value to people and you can’t do that if you are sending them to sites that don’t help them out.That means every single blog post you write should be a powerful one. If you are just going to write a couple paragraphs of some non-sense then you can’t expect magic to happen.

That way, when people come to your site, they will be more likely to stay a while, subscribe or come back for another visit.

2. Comment on other blogs.

Visit other blogs and take time to read their content. If you have something to say, leave a comment. If you are looking to create blog traffic, you will need to create good relationships with other bloggers.

3. Link to other blogs.

Blogging is all about engaging with others and interacting in online discussions. Make sure your blog is listed in your social media and message board profiles. You can also get listed in blog and web directories.

4. Share your blog and posts

Share your posts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and any other social media sites that are important to your industry. The major social networking sites aren’t alone in their power to send traffic to a blog.
