20 Often Forgotten Website Traffic Tips

By mitz on August 25, 2012

Amongst the thousands of different methods we can use to generate website hits, there are always some often forgotten website traffic tips that should definitely be remembered. I have been thinking about ways to gain website traffic for years now and it has become an automatic routine for me. This post can be used as a simple reminder for both me and you.

This is only scratching the surface as I am sure there will be many more forgotten website traffic tips.

#1. Be consistent with great content

I know that providing great content on a consistent basis is an extremely hard job but it is extremely necessary in order to succeed. Killer content is the be all and end all of blogging. You either have it or you don’t. Let’s just say that if you have great content this will generate traffic on autopilot. If you build it, they will come.

#2. Don’t be agreeable

Be an individual and people will be drawn to you. Do not just be one of the sheep that just says and does things to please people. This is simply boring and its getting old. Even on the internet people can see straight through this act.

#3. Write killer post titles

Your post titles are very important…Think about it.. What is the first thing that people see? Even when you leave a comment on a blog and include a Commentluv link the blog title is left there to temp a click.

#4. Set Goals for traffic – Website traffic tips

Commit yourself to traffic generation tasks on a regular basis and stick to it! I have a daily task sheet that helps me stay on track.

#5. Publish as often as possible

If you publish 2 posts a week and another blog posts 5, who do you think will get more traffic? From my experience it is the blog that publishes more posts. Of course there is the other side of the coin when the posts just flow through too quick. That is no good for anyone. I always try to avoid guest posting on blogs that let their posts run through too fast. This reduces the traffic for each post.

#6. Make your blog hip and groovy

Make your blog the place to go for all the great information. Work your butt off to get the golden nuggets and share them with your audience. That will get them talking and there is nothing better than “word of mouth”. Choose effective keywords you can use for your content and rack your brains for unique ideas that will give you the WOW factor!

#7. Start a rumor

I wouldn’t do this one but I notice that some serial attention seekers use this more than they should. Gossip is interesting to the masses and often they like to see for themselves by visiting your blog. What controversial rumor can you come up with?

#8. Get some big names to comment

Comments on your blog stick around forever. Imagine if you had Darren Rowse or Yaro Starak to comment on your blog. People would return because they think you are popular.

#9. Make yourself look popular

This one works well. Win contests, guest post, and just get seen. Have you noticed that I am everywhere you go? Well not everywhere but I am in many places? Hmm now you know my secret I will have to kill you..

#10. Perfect your comments

Many people are wasting their time commenting because they actually say nothing at all. Share your real opinion and create some controversy as this will spark some interest. It is also good to use your own name as you would have a better chance of getting your comment approved. (hint hint)

In the beginning all newbies act like spammers because they do not know how to comment.

#11. Network outside your circles

Webmasters often stick within their circles, commenting on the same blogs, guest posting in the same areas, and even linking within this network. Expanding to different neighborhoods can bring you new targeted visitors that you probably would not find if you just stayed in your circle. Get out and mingle outside your comfort zone.

#12. Follow my 5 – 1 rule

Every time you publish a new blog post, promote your blog 5 times. Talk about your post, link back to your post, guest post about your post.. The 5 to 1 rule will be a magic traffic wand.

#13. Venture offline

Contact your local radio station and share your expertise. Ask the local newspaper if they would like a regular article. If not then send your views into “letters to the editor” or sections like that..

Also offer to give a free class on your chosen subject at the local community hall. You will be amazed at the response you receive.

#14. Giveaway viral gifts

We all know this one. Create a product and give it away as a viral marketing campaign.. But why not give the viral product away to new webmasters who have nothing to give away? Sure they do not have that many subscribers but it all adds up..

#15. Use references

If possible link out to other blogs that can enhance your blog post. It is also nice to mention where you get an idea from or who you are quoting. This can get you website visitors, backlinks when the webmaster returns the favor, or even trackbacks.

#16. Design a 125×125 ad

Hey you can afford $35 a month can’t you? That’s like one affiliate sale! This is how much the average 125×125 ad can cost. Of course the prices vary according to the popularity of the blog, but most people don’t do this.. Ads are not just for affiliates and Adsense.

You can make a groovy ad for your own blog.

#17. Reply to your comments

This can become almost impossible but it just has to be done. I am swamped with comments on four websites and I really have to weigh up my priorities, however answering comments is a great traffic generation method..Think about it..

I have the replyme plugin installed so when I reply to people they get an email letting them know… This in turn brings them back to possibly comment again. This is a lot like sending an email to your list and getting return traffic..

#18. SEO on old posts

Performing Search engine optimization on old posts can bring you loads of traffic. Imagine if you left the post there getting old and useless. No one would want to read it. If you update and SEO an old post you can grab more traffic, probably website traffic that was yours to grab anyway. Here is a video on how I do SEO on an old post. WARNING: The video is long and boring.

IFRAME Embed for Youtube

You can probably save a lot of time by using Keyword Winner for this task.

#19. Post a mix up of your best posts

Bringing your old posts to the frontline can remind people of the goodies that your blog is hiding. Maybe you have some golden content stashed in your archives that might be shared and linked to..You might think it is old but others might appreciate it.

#20. Teach the basics

I see a lot of webmasters teaching difficult and hard to understand tutorials. This is great but what a about the basics?

Webmasters that have been around too long in their chosen profession forget the basics and can’t explain them any longer.. It’s like talking to a computer tech who speaks tech language.

There is a big demand for knowledge and it is mostly about getting a basic education.

What do you think about these website traffic tips I have mentioned? Have any of them worked for you?

Teach the basics – a great reminder that as WordPress users we often forget not everyone is familiar with something as simple as the difference between posts and pages, how to get rid of that pesky “Uncategorized” category or how to find their RSS feed.

These basics are the building blocks for greater things. It’s where we all started.

Hi Mitz,

Again some very useful tips above – posting a mix up of your old and best posts is a great way as you said to bring those posts back to the frontline. The point about SEO on old posts is great and I would only say that make sure you don’t change anything like the permalinks or anything of that nature as you may have problems.

Cheers

Hi mitz
I have read this post a few times now and the biggest thing I have taken from it and am incorporating is being consistent with your blog and keeping it up to date. There is nothing worse than going somewhere and seeing nothing has been done for at least 6 months also in your last comment about how many words you publish. I will try and take that on board as well I am looking at only 1 maybe 2 posts a week so I think more in depth the better.

Great post thanks lee

    Ifg you want to increase your traffic you should update your blog on regular basis this way you will have more links in search engine to get traffic. if your one post didn’t rank on first page then your second post may reach to first page and bring you lots of traffic so it is important to update your blog regularly for consistent traffic increase

When you create backlinks, be sure to place links in high PR sites otherwise it will be a totally waste of time.. I would say, 1000 backlinks on low PR siyes equal to 1 backlink from PR 8 or PR9 site…

Your number 4 with the graph to set out you amount of time to set aside for certain subjects I think I will get a white board and use that so I can keep an eye on it and change if necessary.

  I am actually writing a post about this now… How to get your Alexa down…and how it goes up… to keep it down you have to constantly generate real traffic to your blog. I do this through guest posting and article marketing, and syndication.. Mine for this site is around 40,000 now but I will be taking it to under 20,000 very soon.. It has stopped going down because i stopped working on it…Need to keep promoting and linkbuilding.

      Article syndication is when you post an original article on your site and syndication sites publish it on theirs too.. They get the info through rss.
      
      This is great for traffic and works amazingly well. One example of a syndication site is socialmediatoday.com

Starting a rumor. This is one powerful way to make your blog popular, and will bring more traffic, because your blog will be shared by many people.

But we need to be careful in starting rumors, don’t give the visitors false or bad rumors, it could backfire for us and will reduce the popularity of our blog.

Thanks Mitz for sharing this inspiring write.

I love the “dont be agreeable” part. It is really important that you dont just say yes just because most say so or say no because everyone might be mad at you if you will contradict them. Good posts in sites should be of unique content, which should awaken curiosity and interest among readers. If you think your idea can make a difference, though it will be something really controversial because of the many contradicting sides, just go on. One thing’s for sure, people will go to your site, read the article, will comment, post the link to other sites, and make your post a trending in the social sites.

  So true, Robert. But instead of asking yourself how much you already know, you’d better analyze how many of those tips you have already implement in your site. Knowing is not enough. You have to test everything and see which actions deserve bigger efforts

  What I do is write a title, then write 4-5 questions that people might ask that is related to that, then fill in the blanks. The last thing is the intro and conclusion. The 5 questions become the sub headings or H2 tags within the article. If you are finding that you are at a dead end then maybe you are only answering one aspect of the subject.

I can tell we think alike by that schedule you have, I swear I’ve written the exact same notes to myself on my to-do lists. I dig the structure of yours though, did you make it manually or is that a program? I like how you build links – Web 2.0s, PDFs to doc sharing sites, social promotion, Ezine Articles, commenting on dofollow blogs. Dang you’re good – I’m glad to see I have been on the right path since an expert like you is doing similar things. That graphic seriously helps though. Now I know when breakfast is Do you use Scrapebox to find NoFollow blogs Do you think that would be gray hat or if you’re just using it to find relevant blogs would people consider that tainted link building? It’s a powerful tool even if you’re just using white hat techniques.

Great post, your blog is seriously good and you seem to be doing some serious monetizing and affiliate marketing without sacrificing the integrity of the site. How long did it take you to get to a PR3? My personal blog (the one I put in the form^^) got to PR3 but it’s just my personal blog! The site I’ve put a ton of work into for (electronic cigarettes, quit smoking aid) is just chillin at PR0 seemingly forever.

Anyway, good luck with everything.

Whoo very unique ideas from you again. After knowing your blog I bookmarked your blog in my Expert Blogs folder. Because As I said earlier I attracted to your blog.

Today you’re like a god! That’s ‘coz #4 fact, Most of the bloggers talk about Setting Goals and Archiving them. And I’m too cared about it. But I had no idea about how to set reachable goals. You gave me a good day schedule goals. I like them very much. I know I need to do hard work. But I was lazy without a clear hope clear mind what to do. Thank you for that one.

Then #5 I have a plan But sometimes I neglect to work on that. Most of the times I wrote 4 posts per week. And I aimed to write all 4 posts in Monday and then remaining days for promoting those.

Fact #10 these days I’m looking for improving my commenting skills. I feel sometimes I’m caught in spam. So I thought to care more about my commenting rhythm. And I’m learning about how spam technique working, So I can stop my accident wrongs in commenting.

Fact #14 I’m looking to create an Ebook, But I need to make it professional. So I need to get more time. I planned lot of things required to it. Now the working part is left.

I found lot of ways from this post. I like them and gonna try those in coming days.

Hi Mitz -

I’ve come to realize that every time I have specific questions now, there’s a great post somewhere on your site that I can ask!!

I continue to work on my SEO when I can, much more than monetization for now as I want the traffic and community first. I keep thinking of the day I started making tunes per your suggestions – January 7th of this year. And I’m now up nearly 200% from where I was then! I’ve gone from an average of about 70-75 visits/day to well over 210-220, and while that’s still small I know – it’s the change that I love. Seeing tangible impact from my efforts!

So, here are two related questions for you:

Q1: I’m having a hard time trying to understand the true value of Alexa rankings and Google page rankings. How much do I need to really worry about these things? I’ve gone from 7M on Alexa to about 2M since ~November or so, but I have a good friend with an Alexa rank of ~200K and she’s at roughly the same traffic level that I’m at. I have only 2 PR1 pages and she has at least a page or two at PR3 as well. Do I really need to worry about these rankings? If so, how do we use them for maximum benefit?

Q2: I’ve seen some very significant traffic bursts come my way via StumbleUpon. I’ve never used this site, but I have a button on my posts to facilitate sharing – and I guess someone must have done so. Do you have any experience or recommendations on how to make this happen more?

As always, thanks for your insights and this amazing repository of incredibly helpful information!!

  Hi Mark
  Q1: Alexa…hmmm.. I do not like it myself. I have 22,000 on this site which has around 2,000 visits a day but on one of my other sites I have around 40,000 and get over 10,000 visits a day.. Not a great way to judge a website clearly. As for Google page rank, I like it because it clearly gives a website more power in the eyes of other webmasters. This can bring in more advertising money or other benefits.
  
  Q2: Yes I have had these traffic splurges and they are great. I find it depends on who shares your content. Are they an active user in SU? It is best to connect with these types of people so your content can get more stumbles. If the wrong people are sharing your stuff then nothing really happens. Look for top users in your niche and hook up with them..

You’ve provided a terrific resource here.. I notice that you present quite a few numbered lists as posts. I’m guessing this is an intentional traffic and/or seo strategy? You mentioned content creation. I’d be interested to know of anyone who’s had good search ranking success by focusing entirely on content creation (not being concerned with backlinking strategy, in other words).

    There’s a great article on this at Web Designer Depot from just a week or so ago. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2010/09/create-great-websites-without-any-seo/
    
    I’m hoping it’s not as far-fetched an idea or method as it might seem to those chin-deep in SEO. I focus on providing content, marketing on social networks, and establishing relationships – it seems to be working very well with my blog. I haven’t really done anything SEO-wise, though I AM starting to do the easy things that you’d have to be lazy NOT to do.

      Hi Thomas
      I did the same thing…neglected SEO and I got my website to 4,000 uniques a day but then I started playing with SEO a few years back and never looked back… I will say that you can do it without SEO but if you do not use it you are cutting your own throat as you are holding back the potential of your website.
      
      The other thing is…have they got accidental SEO? I did…I had great content that had good onpage SEO and people linked to it…BANG…auto SEO…
      
      I totally agree you can do it but why make $100 when you can make $200? Why sit and hope it will all happen…?

About your second point about avoiding being too agreeable, I would have to agree (ironically?). Matching to the beat of a different drummer can set you apart from the crowd and that can be enough to have people looking at what you have to say on other issues.

There are some gems in there, but I think an area to look at is expanding #16.

Design.

I have had great personal success in specific markets using design to generate traffic. Design an ad banner? Absolutely a great idea. But also, expanding a bit but moving into my personal experience, design/modify/create pictures. Pictures can generate huge traffic if promoted and networked appropriately. Also, with the proper site setup and common WordPress plugins, it can be steady, self-sustaining ‘autopilot’ traffic. In my example, I had a very nice wallpaper site, with each individual wallpaper post having directly on the top, ‘WP Greet Box’ plugin. I am not affiliated with them, by the way.

This plugin allows for a personalized message to be directed to visitors depending on their referral source. So, for example, a Facebook user sees ‘Hi, Facebook person, we’d love for you to Like this page if you like the picture!’ It is clean and professional looking but a hugely effective call-to-action button that works great; ESPECIALLY with StumbleUpon, and ESPECIALLY with pictures.

Just food for thought. Also – never forget CommentLuv for the ability to network with other blogs in mutually beneficial ways. It is worth its weight in gold.

To some extents, I’d disagree with “Publish as often as possible”. If the regular publishing reduces quality, then it is going to put off returning readers. However, publishing on a specified regular basis *is* important, both because it gives you a routine which you are less likely to break, and because readers will know when to expect new content.

Thank you for sharing these tips! I certainly agree with #17. Responding to comments is a must! It is not only a way to generate traffic, but a way to build relationships with your fans or visitors, creating interactive, educational, meaningful experiences that will make people come back and hear what you have to say again. This reminds me of how when some of the big YouTubers were starting out, they would thank each commentator and each subscriber individually, and when that no longer becomes efficient or possible, they have to come up with better, more creative ways to show people they care. There is a way to do well and be successful without good relationships, but online, what would one be without their readers?

Writing 2 guest posts in 1 hour seems pretty tough to me unless you are an experienced writer. Also, I recommend joining some private link networks – once you start making some money with your sites. Many of those networks start from ~ $25/month and you get up to 30 PR3-PR6 links. That’s one of the best rank booster for me.

    Happens a lot for authors when they’re talking about subject matter they’re comfortable with, though. It’s a matter of whether or not you want to break it down for your readers and teach to the lowest level, or provide the content you are comfortable with and expect readers to either keep up or click off. Nothing wrong with either way!
    
    Heck, as long as I’ve outlined the major steps and the key points I want to highlight to my readers, I’m done. Too much room for creative process and innovation by readers for me to be interested in blueprinting every – single – little – step.

Great tips. Because some individual think that having a good website is all they need to get a lot of visitors. They don’t know that getting traffic to your site takes hard work and diligence and is not accomplished overnight. Well, your tips can help to advertise without spending money.

  Yes I did not spend money when I started out and now I only spend on tools to help me and writers. The rest is done by me. I think alot of this becomes a habit.

Yet another awesome post Mitz and fantastic information. I wondered how the reply thing worked as I get that from a couple of sites that I follow (including yours), it’s really great as it really personalizes things. How do you write a post in under 30 minutes though? I am incredibly slow, it can take me hours to do one post. I know that I need to speed up my act I just can’t write that fast – especially if I am researching at the same time. I also have to spend a heck of a lot more time on SEO and stop being distracted! I am really having trouble staying focused at the moment and have a To Do list that I am constantly adding to but never really completing one thing. But above all I need to concentrate on the SEO.

  Hi Jan
  It used to take me hours to write a post too… I used to struggle for topics and research the information. Now I write from the top of my head. If I have an idea for a title I open “MY IDEAS” word document and write the title in…Then I write some subheadings in while it is fresh in my mind…
  Later when I decide to write a post I look at the ideas and see which topic sparks for me and I run with that…
  
  I found that ideas were running through my head and I never wrote them down, therefore losing it forever.

In my view, content is king. Because content helps increase in traffic and rankings. This is really very good and informative article. The only thing which I feel one must do is to stick to the basics of SEO which looks really simple as mentioned above . Thanks for share Mitz.

  Hi Shilpa
  I agree content is king and SEO is also part of that.. For the content to really be King you need to do onpage SEO..

Consistency is one my favorites! I love blogs that are consistently delivering great quality content. By the way… how do you manage to stay on your time schedule? I often struggle with fixed schedules, I often overlap and tend to stay on one topic too long if I am finding new things, or thing are going good. I try to have my schedule as flexible as possible which means I am not very organized… but I always keep myself doing ‘something’.

  To tell the truth…I might stick to the schedule once a week…!!! For example this week I have been visiting family and have only pulled my laptop out for an hour or two… But I was prepared for it though…And this is why I love blogging… I am free…
  
  Some weeks I stick to it and get enough work done to last me a month..
  
  If you can get by with a flexible schedule then you must be already disciplined!

    Yeah the freedom is great for sure. I am definitely not perfect by any means, I am more of a ‘momentum’ person. Whenever I get really into it, I seem to flow nicely into the work, but whenever I am off well, I tend not to do much.
