Getting traffic when starting | SEO | make money blogging | Blogging tips that help to make money blogging

make money blogging When you’re just starting, it’s very, very tough to promote your blog and receive traffic. This can lead bloggers to stop blogging because they think they’ll never get out of the dark.
Traffic doesn’t grow on trees, and it may take some time before you see any kind of result. It’s obvious that you need to promote your site in order to get any traffic, but how can you promote your site and get traffic when you’re just starting from scratch?

1) Using forums.

This one never fails. You can bring quite a good amount of traffic to your blog if you post regularly on forums. Build up your profile and participate on forum’s discussions. Post and share content you find useful, and give your point of view. This will help you to get yourself a place on the respected group members. And if you’ve reputation, your blog (or anything you do) will have the same reputation.
Use forum signatures. I recommend putting some suspense on it. Using signatures like “Click if you want to know what’s this all about” or including inverse psychology, something like “Don’t click here!” will increase the click rate.
Don’t spam, and use forums within your niche. If you have a make money online topic, don’t go posting on photography forums, as you won’t get any results. (Ways to find forums on your niche)

2) Blog Directories.

Blog directories can help you receive traffic. The good thing is that you’ll get targeted visitors, as when you submit your blog, you submit it to a specific category, allowing members to search blog and sorting them by topics.
While they give you traffic, they’ll also help you to increase your PageRank, because they’ll link directly to your blog.
Apart from that, it will help Google to index and find you faster. The Google spider will crawl all over the net and having directories linking to our blog will show our dear spider the way to our blog.

3) Using social networks.

If you don’t have a clue about the social network’s power, you’re probably living under a rock. Social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter etc, are used by millions of people worldwide, so have an enormous potential waiting to be used.
Use it as a way to bring traffic to your site, either advertising on them or building your own profile, and redirecting links to your blog. Remember that as long as you don’t spam, everything is allowed.
Social networks can be used to promote your site for free among your friends. It’s one of the best spread-the-world tools.

4) Using ping services.

Ping services will automatically notify that your blog has been updated. Use it only when you’ve added a new post, otherwise it will just be useless to use a ping service.
Most ping services will give you the possibility to ping and notify that your blog has been updated to search engines, blog directories, sites such as Technorati, etc. As a result, you’ll get traffic.
There are tons of ways to promote your site when you’re just starting. These one are free. Being original and constructive will help you too.
