Right after creating a blog which is your central hub online the first challenge that you may face is to drive traffic to your blog.It’s very important to have some specific methods which can be applied daily, otherwise you won’t have a steady stream of visitors which can be converted in blog leads and customers.

I know that in the beginning, a lot of marketers don’t have the right budget to get traffic with Pay Per Click on the search engines ,Facebook PPC etc. The best solution, is to start with the free methods and as your business grows and produces income you can include or switch to the paid advertisment.By the end of this blog post, I will share with you more free traffic generation strategies that I learned and applied in the past months with great results.

5 ways to drive traffic to your blog

1.Create content often

Content is king!Period!Not only for traffic but also but for branding yourself in the front of people. Thus, it’s essential to write at least blog 4-5 posts per week(at least 400 words each).Choose more blog topic ideas related to your main niche and then turn them into posts.

2.Keyword research and SEO tips

This is a sure way to drive traffic to your blog directly from the search engines.Make sure that before writing any post, you perform an advanced keyword research and pick up keywords with a low amount of competition(1000-3000 global monthly searches).

Regarding SEO,you don’t have to be an expert in it but you can do a great job with these tips:

-install the All In One Seo Pack Plugin.

-include your keyword in the title,in the first sentence and in h1,h2,h3 etc tags.

-sprinkle the main keyword in the text (4-5 times ).

3.Article marketing

It’s a very effective way to drive traffic to your blog in the long run!

Once you have an article and submit it to different articles directories it will stay there FOREVER.

Here is how you can do it: Perform a keyword research and create a great blog post with the chosen keyword.

After you publish it,write an article and submit it to the top article directories. I know,there are different tools for that but personally I think that it’s better to submit it manually( or outsource it for this purpose) .Google wants to see a natural growth and not stuff created by softwares.

4.Comments

A simple way to create backlinks fast!Make a habit from commenting on high autority blogs from your niche and your rankings and traffic will dramatically improve!

5.Syndication

It gives you massive exposure and the possibility to generate backlinks from multiple places:social media sites,social bookmarking sites etc.

Use plugins such as Onlywire and Digg Digg to rapidly spread your blog posts on the net.Also,I use a tribe to get my content out there.The main benefit of a tribe is that more people are sharing your stuff at the same time and thus you get more credit from Google and other search engines.

With these 5 free methods you will be able to drive traffic to your blog like crazy in the next days.More you start to create a true traffic machine in the long run.
