7 Smart Ways To Drive Traffic To A New Blog

I’m sure your ultimate concern is to increase your blog traffic? Well, I’m here to announce to you that it is doable. What if I could show you my 7 top ways of driving instant traffic to a new blog, will you take action? Off course. Without much ado, listed below are my 7 top strategies and I do hope you take action to see the results.

(1). Press Release Distribution

Only a few internet marketers are currently distributing their articles across media sites. This traffic system has been my #2 proven method since my new blog was launched. When you submit a press release, especially the well formatted ones, the reward is tremendous. You can attract media; the press and your content could be distributed on several high trafficked sites, sending you avalanche of free targeted traffic and opt-in ultimately.

(2). Article Marketing With A Twist

I’m sure you have not been using this method to get traffic to your blog. So how does it work?
Perfect question and I have the answer – believe me, I do!
First, you write a decent article about your chosen niche. Then, you contact a website or blog owner in your niche and ask them to feature your article for a free backlink. That’s all.
You’ll attract responsive and targeted traffic to your blog. These niche sites are focused, unlike article directories. The traffic here is usually huge and converts into subscribers and sales in the long run.

(3). Tutorials

Another smart way I drive traffic to any of my new blogs is to write a step by step tutorial, and submit to tutorial sites. When you do search with Google for tutorial sites, I’m sure you will get a handful of it. However, I recommend you submit to:

These two sites receive at least 5,000 unique page views daily. This targeted traffic could be channelled to your blog.

(4). Guest Posting

This is the hottest traffic generation method right now. As a matter of fact, the article you’re reading right now is a guest post, and I would definitely get fresh traffic to my blog from here. That is the benefit of submitting a guest post to other niche blogs and expect a reward. However, you need to write a decent guest post. This is the only criteria for scoring #1 and getting your post published. When guest posting, start with the small blogs to build up your portfolio, thereafter, aim for the A-List blogs and aim for the sky.

(5). Video Marketing

Do you know that within 24 hours, a tiny video that was submitted to youtube, attracted over 2,000 page views to my blog? Wow! That’s incredible but absolutely true. If you can take out time to create a short video of about 3 – 5 minutes, upload to popular video sites, you will get instant targeted traffic to your blog. I have tried this and it works. If you don’t have expensive video creation software, you can use simple powerpoint presentations.

(6). Blog Commenting

A new blog can also become very popular when you spend your time commenting on niche blogs. Give your helpful comment and you’ll see the traffic surge coming to your blog. Search for top blogs on your niche, read the post and comment on the one that intrigues you. If you don’t know what the topic says, simply ask intelligent questions. Keep commenting and the traffic would keep rolling in.

(7). Bum Marketing Method

My last traffic traffic technique lies in the power of bum marketing. It’s very simple but the traffic exceptionally great. You start by researching long tail keywords. Thereafter, you write a keyword rich article and post to sites with PageRank 5 (PR5) – PR9. Within 4 days, you would have succeeding in getting your content on the frontpage of Google. Channel that traffic to your blog and make sure you have lead capture system to build your email list – it’s very vital.

All in all, the more effort you put into these traffic methods, the better your chances of improving your blog’s success. For a start, stick with one and scale it through. You would be amazed by how much success your blog would experience. Take action and meet me at the top!
