6 Traffic Generation Techniques You Did Not Think Of

Generating traffic to your blog, whether new or old, is one task most webmasters are unable to do in the right way and are still struggling in traffic generation. They often try the wrong techniques and then get disappointed by lack of results. This is one of the reasons why so many bloggers give up so quick.

However, the point is… Generating traffic to your blog is amongst the easiest task you’ll ever come across. All it takes is a bit of reading on the internet and then adding your own creativity and mixing it. And of course, do it with dedication. If you’re going to do it as a job that needs to be done and get over with, then you won’t succeed at it.


Here are those 6 Unique Ways OF Generating Traffic which you may have not think of earlier.

1. Renovate Your Blog Design

Creating a new design for your site can often give you a boost in the traffic. Not only does the change spike interest everywhere, but you can also submit your new design to a few popular CSS Showcase galleries. These galleries, being popular, send back quite a bit of return traffic that can end up turning into loyal visitors. And at the end of the day, loyal readers is exactly what we want!

2. Write An Interesting List Article

If you’re looking to get seriously targeted traffic, then be one of the first people to write a ‘Top 10’ post about anything that’s new and being talked about. You could also simply write a ‘Top 10 Blogs” post relating to the blogs in your niche. That’s something a lot of people search for, and you stand a chance of getting a lot of search engine traffic.

3. Tener un blog Traductor – Have A Blog Translator

You may have not understood above line(instead of people understanding spanish) if I wouldn’t have provided the translation. And same may be the situation with the people who may not understand your blog language. Installing a translator plugin could help you to increase the blog traffic highly.

Don’t forget the fact that English is not the only language that users on the internet speak/understand. There’s quite a few that do not understand English very well. Having a translator facility on your blog will mean you can get a more diverse range of traffic. And quite a few of them may end up being repeat visitors. Because your blog is one of the few that allows them to read posts in their own language. There’s a few free plugins available to do that. But there’s a plugin or two that are paid. They do the job much better, though.

Note: At SmartBloggerz, Translator can be found in the footer. So use it 😉

4. Create valuable content

Nothing (and I mean, NOTHING) will ever create traffic that’s more valuable then the content on your blog. What you post should not only be informative but should also be capable of sparking a discussion. Such posts often get linked to from a lot of places and that’s when your traffic starts spiking.

5. Offline Promotion

Don’t forget that the only way to generate traffic is not just online. Include your URL in every place you possibly can, offline. On your business cards(if it’s a business blog), your car, your house (YES! it may sound funny), letterheads, etc. It’s not often that you see websites (particularly blogs) being advertised offline. And when you DO see one, you tend to remember it very well. That’s the affect offline advertising has on everyone!

6. Link baiting in forums

This is one overlooked traffic generation method. Write an interesting post, and include only a quarter or half of it. And leave a backlink to the blog in that post. Let people click through to your blog to be able to read the post.

How does this help? When they click through to your blog, a good % of them will generally engage themselves in another post or two on your blog. And quite a few will eventually subscribe. That’s it. That’s what I/you want!

    1. Yeah, guest blogging is also a nice method but many newbie bloggers who struggle for traffic and lack in content may not want to guest blog on other blogs. They would rather use the article written get published on their own blog.

        1. Yes, Ari. Publishing popular Interviews on the blog also helps a lot. But once your have taken and published the interview, you should also promote it so that more and more people can get to read it and if it’s a very popular person, you will surely get lots of comments…

  3. very nice tips friend… I have changed my blog design and everyone liking it. I am trying the above steps to get traffic. Guest blogging and promoting other social bookmarking sites also help us to get more traffic.

    We should not be selfish,we should bookmark other articles when it seems to be great with quality content…
    .-= Deepika´s last blog ..How To Setup Feedburner For Your Blog =-.

    1. Yeah, I just checked out your new theme and it’s a great Woo theme. By the way, are you friend or sister of Senthil? Because he has also recently changed his design to the same theme like yours.

  4. Great techniques! Another great tip is to write a list post that links to other blog posts, such as “Top 40 Articles of 2009”, because it will bring in a lot of visitors from the trackbacks it puts on the blog posts you’ve linked to. It will also bring in a lot of comments because most of the writers of the blog posts would probably write a comment to thank you. 🙂

    By the way, on the line where it says “It’s not often that you see websites (particularly blogs) being advertised ONLINE.” I think you meant OFFLINE. 😉
    .-= Gloson´s last blog ..11 Ways to Get More Comments on Your Blog =-.

    1. Yeah, that’s a nice clever trick. The authors of those blog article to which whom we have linked not only will comment saying thank you but also help promote it on twitter, stumbleupon etc. thinking that it will also promote their articles 😉

      Thanks for pointing out that mistake 😮 Corrected it.

    1. Yeah, renovating blog design could really help. Suppose you just change your design right now, so post a blog post about the change of theme and ask people about How it is looking. If you are having strong readership and design is good, then people will surely open up that blog post and will let you know their opinion.

      Blog Commenting is a like a Golden Trick and every one should take benefit of it. It’s amongst the top ways 😉

    1. Yeah, that’s a nice decision. By the way, Is that your new bl;og and what happened to the earlier one?

      (By the way, I just visited your blog and I think you CSS is broken or maybe the cache. Only text is shown on your blog)

  7. Link Baits on forums is what i’m putting my time into and it is working just fine. This was a wonderful post Sushant, especially for newbies, but some tips you have listed above do not work for blogs which have extremely low traffic, you’ll need to have at least 500 to 1000 visitors a day to implement that effectively.

    .-= Vishal Sanjay´s last blog ..How I got my bounce rate from 80 to 30? =-.

    1. Cool to see that you are giving time in Link Bait. By the way, are you also currently playing with your theme? I just checked your blog ans so I am just guessing about it.

  8. Trying to get guest posts on your blog from other bloggers is a good way too, they will most likely promote the article on their site and it can send readers your way.

    So, anyone want to guest post on my site? 😉
