How to increase traffic to your blog

Getting huge traffic is the ultimate goal of a blogger. But, its not as simple as it looks. Trust me, reaching to 100 unique visitors per day will take more than a month. Its a time consuming process to increase traffic to your blog in the beginning. Content is supreme to drive traffic.However, there are several other factors which will help you to increase your traffic and get consistent traffic through out. Lets take a brief idea of how to increase traffic to blog.

• Search Engine Optimization. People often go to Google and search for what they want. Search Engine Optimization means optimizing the website such that your content is listed above others in the same niche. Concentrating on highly searched keywords and giving emphasis on the content management is a better way to drive traffic. The traffic coming from search engine is called Organic Traffic. It plays a crucial rank in you blog's ranking and its Page rank. 

• Social Marketing. Connect to Facebook, Google Plus join several community and pages related to your blog content and share your posts there. Don't spam. Its better to post one link of a post/per page. No need to keep mentioning it in every comment and submitting the links again and again to the same community. Over doing it, might lead to banning from a community. 

• Submit your websites to Directories like Technorati.com and other websites that includes submission of blogs. Although initially Technorati may not bring you much traffic but its ranking system will keep you informed about the progress your blog is making in its niche. If properly used, Technorati can provide a consistent traffic. 

• Stumbleupon.com and reddit.com. If your post goes viral on stumble upon or reddit, as many as thousands of visit a day you will get from them. Reddit has emerged as a major traffic generator. Submit your posts on both of these sites. However, don't over do stumbleupon. Its not as useful to your website despite of driving traffic. 

• Twitter and Pinterest. These two websites may also provide huge traffic if used in a positive manner. Initially Pinterest may ignore you in traffic, but gradually you will see it more beneficial than even Facebook or Google Plus. Concentrate on Pinterest. I personally don't believe in Twitter marketing. Don't know why. 

• Reply to those who are interested in your blog. On Facebook, Google Plus, in your blog's comment section, if some one has mailed you are asked you something, reply them. Personally. Don't be too much formal. Its client oriented market. Be healthy with your audience. 

• Comment on other blogs of high ranking. You find a website of the same niche of yours better than your website, read some articles, comment on them with your website link. Its like leaving your links on random places for some traffic. Try not to spam. Just think about it that someone posting his blog links too much on your website. Will you like it?
