It might be a lonely time blogging if every day you logon to your stats and see that still there are no traffic arriving on your weblog. But, once they start to arrive and even better still you see regular traffic hitting your web site from RSS feeds, you really know you have made it. Here is how.
Even if I would never say that a high Page Rank alone will get you stacks of traffic, the steps needed to get a good Page Rank will also help to build your visitors. But building Page Rank alone is no way near enough. You need a plan of action to supplement it!
Writing articles and guest blogging will help to increase your incoming links and people reading these may also then wander more than to your weblog. But, these methods do not create the ongoing rush of visitors you need, unless you might get a really run away article success story.
What you also need to be doing is writing a lot of unique content. But, even this alone will not work. Writing plenty of content pages and posting articles and guest sites is getting there, but you need to merge the hints to fully succeed.
To work this to its best, what you do is to research several related keywords for which there is a good amount of visitors. Then write an article or two based loosely about the keywords. Do not get carried away with stuffing too a lot of occurrences of the keywords into the articles, only include several mentions.
Then start to write batches of further articles round these same keywords. For instance, I will write the initial article and then follow this up with a set of more detailed articles, each one exploring an aspect of the first article. These remaining articles, not the original article, are distributed to article sites and used as guest posts, rewritten slightly as required by the system they are being published to. All of these will regularly allow two links back to my website, one of which is used as a link to the original article with the anchor text being either the desired keyword phrase, or something very closely related.
For example, if I decided to work on ‘How to start a website’, then I would write that as a post and publish it merely to my weblog, then write 6 to 8 posts round the different aspects of starting a site. These additional posts could be posted to my weblog, article sites and guest blogged.
These additional articles are what makes this system work. Because the initial post is unique and has potentially hundreds of other pages pointing to it, the value of the post increases and therefore the chance of the search engines sending me visitors increases in excess of only a stand alone site posting.
It is masses of work! An initial post and then 6 to 8 supporting articles to be distributed, but if that is what it takes to drive large amounts of traffic to a weblog then so be it! The distributed articles will help with the search engine optimisation of the page and also send a few interested visitors in excess of. And it is a rate that I could quite easily maintain for some websites, each getting 1 main new article a month.
