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.
Writing about the world’s most heated issue will surely drive a traffic. An article where everyone could relate themselves with. Thank you for a great article, this would help.
Feedback is a great way to increase readership. A reader is more likely to come back if their concerns are addressed.
I agree that you must engage your readers in a conversation. If you do not listen to what they are saying then you are the one doing all the talking…and no one likes that.
Nice website, however this add to any type of bar sticking to the left side of the screen is really very annoying. I would have to suggest moving it because it cuts off the first few letters of every blog post, making it hard to read. Just some quick advice but again, nice website I like the content
Hello Oussama,
I am completely agree with you, The fact is that the content is the king for seo and the content you are created still in your blog so you have to make your blog seo friendly and you have to do some extra work for automatically promoting your content to major search engines by making seo friendly blog.

Fantastic post Oussama. Finally someone how is talking some sense, content alone is not enough, no matter how unique and useful your content is!
I personally experienced it first hand and what I realized is that backlinks are the most important thing (at least from seo stand point and search engine traffic). You can get traffic to your site if o=you build enough backlinks even if you dont have any content on your site.
However, once the traffic arrives, keeping it there and coming back for more is something that all the backlinks in the world cant help you with. Thats where content comes in to play, quality and useful content is what will make those targeted visitors stay on your site for longer and come back over and over again.
Good content is obviusly important… but the number of backlinks you have is essential.. it helps building your PR and as well as drive traffic to your website… once the people get to your blog they will come back to it if they find the content interesting
Unique content is important for a blog if you’re trying to drive massive traffic, but some little technique need to be used to get them read your blog post as well. You have some great points there, I would like to add some tips like writing catchy headlines and call to action post, that works pretty well for my blog.
Thanks for the tips Oussama.

Strong content according to me rules but it is also true that SEO work is equally important because without optimization the best contents do not get noticed. Doing SEO works is like enhancing, to make the work more noticeable to the readers but readers would never appreciate articles with a poor content. The tips you shared are very much valid and to the point Oussama, it’ll be always a pleasure to read your articles.
This article breaks the myth that says, content is the king.
And I definately agree. I think, The Niche is the King sounds better!!!
Not only sounds better to me but to google too.
