How To Get Traffic To Your Blog

How are you going to get traffic to your blog? You can either write articles or use ads. The secret is in ranking high within the search engines.

If you want to rank high in the search engines you need to build up backlinks. The more the merrier.

There are three main ways to achieve this. The first is article writing and manually submitting your articles to directories, the second way is through pay per click ads, and the third way to get traffic to your blog is by buying the links.

When you use pay per click ads you have to have a firm understanding of targeted keywords. If you target the wrong audience or don't pick highly optimized keywords you stand to loose a lot of money.

Buying links to your blog may seem like a good (and easy) way to get traffic to your blog but you have to buy quality links. The higher the Pr of the site is the better your blog will rank but the higher the PR the more the links are going to cost you. This can cost a lot of money because if the links are from low PR sites they will do you little good.

You also want the category of the blog that is linking to yours to be the same as your blog. The more related the site is to yours the more that backlink is going to count and the higher it will get you in the search engines.

If you are writing article's the more articles you submit the greater chance you have of people reading it and going to your blog. Article marketing has two benefits. The first is that it gives people a sample of what you have to offer them. If they like what you wrote chances are good they will want to see what else you have to say so they will click over to your blog. The other benefit is that it gives you quality backlinks.

It is also free to write articles and manually submit them to article directories. Most article directories will allow you two links in your author resource box.

When you are article marketing you have two ways you can go. The first is much more labor intensive but it is also free. That is writing a new an unique article for every directory you want to submit to and then manually submit it. The alternative is to use an article submission site. If you get a good one they will send out unique articles and submit them for you.

Manually submitting articles take a lot of time so using an article submission site will free up mass amounts of your time. One thing you have to watch is that a lot of the submission sites don't send out unique articles for you. If they are not sending out unique content you will have a lot of duplicate content on the internet. Search engines don't especially like duplicate content and if they don't like it, neither will you.
