16 How to Increase Blog Visitors
Ways to Increase Blog Visitors - The presence of visitors or visitors is very valuable for a Blogger. A managed blog will be meaningless if it does not have visitors.
Actually, if you think smart, there are many ways to increase blog traffic, from free to paid, we can do it. Who doesn't want their blog to be full of visitors like a night market?
Even though you blog just for fun, if your blog is flooded with visitors, you will definitely be happy.
Yes, right?
Especially for those who want to make money from blogs, increasing blog visitors is a must. The more visitors to the blog, of course, the more money you can make.
The only question is, how do you actually increase blog visitors?
This question is one of the most frequently asked questions I get. Whether it's in email, in blog comments, on Facebook, anywhere.
Well in this post I will try to answer these questions according to what I know and I believe.
Ok, let's get straight to it.
Why is my blog empty of visitors?
Before I give tips to increase blog visitors, it never hurts to start by finding out what might be the cause of why your blog is empty of visitors.
Based on my experience, here are some things that I think are often a barrier for a blog to be able to get a lot of visitors:
1. I just learned blogging yesterday afternoon
The most obvious reason is because I'm just learning to blog and don't have much experience with blogging.
Creating a blog is easy, anyone can do it, but to create a blog so that it can be popular and get lots of visitors is not an easy thing.
If you feel you are just learning to blog, then you don't need to be confused or worried if your blog is still empty of visitors. This is very reasonable because everything takes time and process.
But if you've been blogging for a long time and your blog is still empty of visitors, then there's probably something wrong with the way you're blogging. The solution please can continue reading.
2. Hope visitors will come alone
You must have heard of a blogger who gave advice like this:
Just be diligent in updating, later visitors will come alone
Actually there is nothing wrong with this advice, I just think it's inaccurate and can be misleading.
Why?
If you blogged 10 years ago, maybe this method is still effective because there weren't so many bloggers before. In addition, blogs that are diligently updated tend to get good rankings on Google.
But what about now? just diligently updating capital will not be enough. There are many other things that need to be considered, one of which is doing blog promotions in the right way.
3. Mediocre content
One of the keys to the success of a blog is the quality of the content in it. If you want to get a lot of visitors, then pay attention to the quality of the content on your blog.
Especially if your blog discusses a topic that is already very crowded by competition, if the content on your blog is mediocre, then in the end it will only sink in the midst of intense competition.
If you feel that there is still a lot of content on your blog that needs to be improved, then focus on improving the content to make it even better, don't think too much about how to make your blog flooded with visitors.
4. Assuming all blogs are the same
In my post about how to make money from a blog, I explained that there are many types of blogs. Yups, not all blogs are the same, ranging from goals, topics, target visitors, and others vary from one blog to another.
Now because every blog is different, the promotion strategy is also different. Some are effective using this method, some are effective using that method, and so on.
If you want your blog to get lots of visitors, then you have to understand these differences, the reason is so you can find the right promotion strategy for your own blog.
5. Some other causes
In addition to some of the things above, there are many other things that might be the cause of why the blog is empty of visitors. One of them is technical problems such as messy blog design and also loading blogs that are super heavy.
But the 4 things I have described above in my opinion are the most important.
How to increase blog visitors
So now the part that you are waiting for, namely tips that can be done to increase your blog visitors.
Some of the tips that I will give below I have implemented on my own blog, but some have not or I have not applied.
Please just take a look...
1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Doing search engine optimization or SEO is the most popular way to increase blog visitors that almost all bloggers do
How come?
Because search engines are the biggest source of blog traffic on the internet. In addition, SEO is suitable for all types of blogs. Whether it's a niche blog, a micro nice blog, a hodgepodge blog, a news blog, a business blog, a personal blog, any blog.
But even so I don't know why there are some bloggers who think SEO is not important and just a waste of time.
SEO is important bro….!!!
It's just that learning SEO is not easy because SEO always changes from time to time. It takes persistence, patience, and an unyielding spirit to master SEO.
But… do you have to be an SEO expert to get visitors from search engines?
NO!!
This is what sometimes many bloggers misunderstand, especially beginner bloggers. To be able to get visitors from search engines, you don't have to be an SEO expert, SEO expert, SEO master, or whatever. Enough with basic SEO techniques is enough to help your blog get visitors from search engines.
One of the example is:
- Do keyword research before posting.
- Create posts for Google to like.
- In addition, avoid SEO mistakes that beginners often make.
