Are you getting enough traffic to your blog? I’m guessing that the answer is probably not. I mean can we ever have enough traffic?
One of the questions I consistently see being asked in internet marketing forums is how to get traffic to your blog.
Many bloggers get disillusioned with blogging when they find that they are spending hours creating content that nobody sees.
It is disheartening when you have created great content that you think Google will love and you are lucky if you get a handful of visitors from your usual blog promotion efforts.
Usual blog promotion? You know the kind of thing – blog commenting, forum posting, posting it on your Facebook page and in Facebook groups and informing your email list if you have one.
That’s what you see being given as advice in the foums isn’t it?
Well last week I found that Ana Hoffman of Traffic Generation Cafe had posted the best and most comprehensive article on many other blog promotion methods that I have ever seen.
Not only that but she created a great infographic and a video about it too which, with her permission, I am going to share with you here.
Here’s the video that she created to go with it.

And for social networking sites I found that Pinterest has helped to double my trafffic to my detox blog.
Well, I hope that has given you some new ideas of how to get more traffic to your blog. If you only manage to do half of what Ana suggests then I am sure you will see results eventually.
They key is to be consistant and not expect to see results overnight.
How many of these blog promotion tips do you use on a regular basis? Any other tips? Please share them with my readers by leaving me a comment.

Thanks for sharing the tips, Sandy 🙂
My main focus has always been on commenting and guest posting. As for Social media sites, I mostly rely on Google Plus, Twitter and FB.
I did create a Pinterest account, but never used it (Especially after I heard about the bounce rates of Pinterest audience).
But, after reading this post, I have decided to give it a second try.
I use Blogengage and WPKube for my bookmarking purpose; I haven’t been active on both these for a long time. I certainly need to start being more active 😀
Thank you for the tips 🙂
Hi Jeevan,
I must admit that WPKube is a new one on me. It seems to be more of a WP resource site than a bookmarking site though.
Yes, you should give Pinterest another try but it works better for some niches than others.

Hi Sandy,
This post caught my eye because I am always trying to find new ways to get more traffic to my site.
I currently use forum marketing, blog commenting, video, and some social marketing.
I have tried some of these methods, but to tell you the truth I have not been consistent enough. I know that anything you are trying to do to drive traffic to your site, you should give it 30-60 days to see how it improves your traffic.
Thanks for sharing these tips, I know that they will definitely help anyone out who is willing to put in the time to implement the methods.
