If you’re able to write unique content, then everything else will be easy for you, however using your creativity to generate unique content isn’t enough to drive traffic to your blog, many bloggers write unique articles in their blogs but they don’t receive much traffic back. I’m listing below some points and tips which I hope they’ll help you.
Find The Hungry Crowd:
It’s about finding a hot topic for you blog. Blogging about something which few people are interested in won’t help you to receive much traffic to your blog. See what people are interested in nowadays, and write about it.
Understand Your Readers:
The more you know your readers, the more easy you can pick a good topic. Ask yourself why the readers are reading what you’re writing and focus on it.
Give Your Article an Objective:
Meaning the purpose of the article. Your readers should reach some goal after reading your article.
Explode Your Creativity:
Create something that will attract people’s attention and make them do what you want them to do by asking yourself what’s new and unique in this article.
Ask Your Readers What Do They Want:
Take the chance to ask your readers what they would like to read on your blog, it somehow creates a kind of friendship with your readers and they will always give you ideas on what to blog about, which is good.
Learn from Feedback:
If you write something interesting, your readers will definitely leave a feedback for you, either in comments or Twitter… Wherever. Learn from their feedbacks and mix it with your article to produce a high quality content.

Congratulation on your first guest post. Hope to come more soon.
You have written a really superb article. I agree to all those points you listed. Amongst all Understanding your readers is really important because without happy readers your blog can not run properly.
Thanks Typhoon, it is my honor to share a couple of tips on your blog! I’ll try to guest post from time to time. Thanks for this opportunity, I hope that I wrote something people would love to read
Twitter Tips’s last blog post..Does Twitter Improve Our Creativity?
Thanks again for the guest post. And yes I am sure your article will get a good response and people would love reading it.
I guess I’m the lone Non-Twitterer among this group. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure its great for bloggers, but my static site does just fine without twittering (or whatever you call it).
But Matt this article is not related to Twitter in any way. This is article which tells Why Unique Content Isn’t Enough to Drive Traffic to Your Blog.
I guess you got confused because this article is written by a Twitter Tips blogger.
But No Problem. It happens Sometimes
this is so true… Because everything has become saturated rght now that good content is not anymore enough

That’s right. With Good Content you have to take a look on those points which are included in this article.
Great Tips. Sometimes the phrase “Content is King” is misunderstood making others think that as long as they have a good content their traffic will instantly boost.
Yup I have seen many blogs which have really good content but there many posts are not having a single comment. Those bloggers really have to think on why this is happening and also take a look on the points carefully included in this article.
Good Tips! I’m always trying to find the balance between keyword rich titles & articles and creating content that people are hungry for. Not easily done!

“Give Your Article an Objective:
Meaning the purpose of the article. Your readers should reach some goal after reading your article.”
This seemed most important for me. Other tips are when you have got enough traffic, but this one is to get the traffic and make the readers loyal to your blog.
Thanks
Hey Usman,
Seeing you for the first time on my blog.
Glad to see that this article seemed important to you.
Some nice tips you have listed above. Some times I visit a site and see a great article, BUT it has no comments. Sad but very true, without traffic then you are sort of writing to yourself.

Thanks for posting, I’ll definitely be subscribing to your blog.
Choosing the topic wisely also makes sense. An on-topic article often gets good response. I often monitor google trends to find new things that I should be writing about
Nice to see that you use the power of Google Trends. But I see many don’t use such great things even it is free.

The article hits the nail on the head, content isn’t enough to drive traffic to your blog. It’s enough to get you started.
Writing unique content is just step one really, whatever happens after that is all on you.

The Title Appeared so very true to me that I didn’t even bother to read the entire post but just glanced the Headings! I completely agree with you because after writing unique content on my blog for nearly a year, I dint get enough traffic, but once when I started taking proper tips from other Bloggers, I saw immense rise in traffic.
So now we have a reader here(you) who have faced this problem and now is gaining good traffic plus proving unique quality content
“Understand Your Readers” — i agree with you
Without understanding ur readers u can do nothing. its all lies between the relation between u and ur readers. The more ur closer to them , the more ur closer to success
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
I like the idea of creating a friendship with the readers. I really do need to change the tone of my blogs. And try to make them more informative in some ways. Not just facts but personalities of the animals that I write about. Thanks for these suggestions.
.-= Margaret Elmendorf´s last blog ..The most faithful dog =-.
attracting our readers, this is the main part of blogging. We should try to know what readers want.? we can use real time search, this helps to find whats the current trend going. so if we write article regarding that it helps to improve more traffic.
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Contest @ teenius.com:Win Prizes worth over $800 =-.
Real time search is the best part for any traffic and I am even writing a post regarding it.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
agree.
If you write about particular topic in a blog then there is much better chance for you getting quality visit to your blog.Or if you write about so many topics on a blog and post once a week then you really loss many visitors.
Yup if you worked well on seo department then it doesn’t matter how many topic you discuss on your blog meant you never loose search engine traffic.
It’s same with my opinion in other article, that unique content not always make traffic because it’s also depend on many factor.
Anyway about Find The Hungry Crow point, isn’t people usually do it? And if we only write about something popular, i think other people write about it also.
Do you mean by create unique content is about “how to write it in another way” ?
For example when the other create about “Twitter Trend”, you write article about “Phylosopy of Twitter Creator Which Make it become Trend”
.-= akira07´s last blog ..July Contest Participation =-.
Actually I find that it’s much better to write for myself, to write to remind and motivate myself. Others can benefit if they need some encouragements
.-= scheng1´s last blog ..Debt free and financial freedom =-.
now what that matters is not just the content, its if your readers enjoy what you are doing and trusts you.
.-= make money online´s last blog ..How To Make 200$ In A Day With Google Adsense Without A Website =-.
I agree with u Kenzy in this point , but Good Content should bring u more trust and showing well what u do with your Blog , site or forum .
Actually i like those tips to be applied beside enjoying and trust from people .
Some people make articles only for earning. they never consider what the readers want and what they don’t. This makes them crazy.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
These are great tips to drive traffic, understanding your audience is the key, you need to feed your readers information that they want to read, it’s one of the best tips to keep your readers coming back and look for more.
Oussama, you have a great post here.

.-= Calvin@Body Health´s last blog ..Bladder Cancer – an early detection can save your life! =-.
Agreed. Without understanding ur audience u cant drive traffic, its like travelling without knowing the destination.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
Cool you must be creative enough to make the hungry crowd of readers stick to your blog. Learning from feedback and understanding the readers can help you to give what they need. Comments are the best place for this. I always end with asking suggestions to my readers to improve the article which I can follow atleast in the next article.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..What Does Google Say About These Websites =-.
Yup asking suggestions from readers is the best way to interact with them and know what exactly you need to change in your blog….
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..Prizes Worth Over $1200 @FamousBloggers =-.
Agreed dude. I can see lot of people make use of comments section to give the best content.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
Great points. Unique content is good but having and audience to read the content is better. You have gave some good tips in this article.
.-= meka@earning money online´s last blog ..The Newbie WorkBook – How I Made $446 In a Month Using Free Methods =-.
Short but great article by Oussama.
Quality content is critical, but it must also be UNIQUE. And even that is not enough… it must be something that people are interested in (and the more people that are interested in it, the better).
So in the end you need content that is quality, unique, and of interest to other people!
Sometimes this is easier said than done though.
steve, trade show rock star
yes main thing is the feedback of the readers. You can set your lines and goals, after reading the feedback of your readers. This will increase your number of loyal readers and overall traffic.
In other name, build roads to your blog if you want more traffic, build high ways
.-= Latief@AnotherBlogger´s last blog ..Interview With Aswani Srivastava From Future Perfect Blog =-.
I agree , even wierd articles can drive traffic if you are marketing them at the right place .
.-= SK@Placement Papers´s last blog ..Difference between amortization, depreciation and depletion =-.
Writing contempting articles is also an option
I have a post to which i had not built any links. But the post was so great that people who read it bookmarked it in the social bookmarking section. This page now pops up in the front page of Google with any keyword whatsoever. With a few such links you can definitely be pushed to the top pages of Google without much effort. The article should be very unique and should be convincing all the readers that come across it.
Creating content certainly is not enough. that simply proves that Marketing is still king. thanks oussama for providing this quality article regarding driving traffic and creating Content.
