Generating traffic for your blog and and ultimately funneling that traffic to the site, or affiliate site of your choice takes some time and work. Understanding the viral aspects of blogging and the community-like following you can create is crucial to increase your blog traffic.

First and foremost, original content is vital to gain any type of search engine traffic and building a subscriber base of readers. Optimizing your WordPress blog can make a big difference in how nice the search engines treat you. Make sure your WordPress blog is using ‘pretty’ permalinks, meaning it has at least the postname (title) in the permalink structure. If you look at the URL of this post you see I use the category and postname. Other bloggers suggest using a date and postname structure. Regardless, some keywords should be a part of the permalink structure. Warning! Changing your permalink structure to an existing, established blog will break any links you have established! Using the All In One SEO plugin to add search engine friendly titles and descriptions to your WordPress posts is a must have for your blog.

Consider the titles of your posts carefully, try to keep special characters out of the titles, and use good, descriptive keyword rich post titles that you think others will search for. Think of how you would type into a search engine for the answers to your questions and format your post titles accordingly. Using a very short highly competitive post title like ‘work at home’ will most likely render your post to the 1 millionth page of the Google search results. Using extremely long titles may get you to the top for that actual phrase, but no searches may be done for it. It is a fine line to try to keep your post titles short and concise, yet long enough to get search traffic.

Commenting on and participating in other more popular blogs, and online forums with a link to your blog in your signature will also help gain some traffic. And if your content is good and original you will start building a loyal subscriber base and repeat traffic. Joining and participation in blog networks also builds blog traffic and, again if you are writing good content repeat traffic from like-minded bloggers.

To learn more about generating blog traffic, subscribe to more popular blogs that write about the subject. Problogger is great resource for just that and here is a more in-depth discussion on How To Market Your Blog. If your blogs niche isn’t related to blogging, pay close attention to how the top blogs in your niche market their blogs. Don’t blatantly rip-off their content, but there is nothing wrong with using some of their ideas and methods for yourself.

The viral aspects of blogging have made static website building almost obsolete. Getting traffic to a WordPress blog can be the easiest thing to do if you just know how to leverage the power of WordPress and use it to spread your links around the Internet.

In order to generate blog traffic you must first and foremost give something. With a blog that ‘giving’ is producing good useful content. Not something that has been copied from another site or PLR articles rewritten (guilty here I admit!). But content people want to read, content people are searching for and content that people can use.

So in this post am I going to give you all the answers? Well no because I admit to not have them all but I will tell you that, based on past experience, if you provide useful content that people want to read and share with their readers the traffic will come. This is just one small aspect of the bigger picture. What I am referring to is called link bait.

How do you generate link bait? First, as I said provide good content original content, and then start searching for more popular blogs using Google and other means to find blogs that are related to yours. Sign up for their feeds, hopefully with an email option sent to you when new posts are made. Then when a post is made on these blogs elaborate on a point this blogger made with a link provided within your post to the post you are writing about. If the other blogger likes it they will approve the trackback and will most likely appear on their post as a comment.

Now don’t do this on every post from only one blog but doing so on several blogs with a big following will do several things. It will get some direct traffic from people clicking your link in the comments section of the other blogs post. If your content is good people will sign up for your feed and may do the same to you. If the other blogger you linked to likes your content they may even reciprocate and link to your posts.

I have seen this in action on my WordPress Guides site. Where I will write basic guides to using WordPress, referencing other more popular blogs and before long my guides are linked to in their posts. I have even had the opportunity to be a guest blogger on a few of them.

After well over a year customizing WordPress Blogs for other people and neglecting this blog while focusing most of my attention on my WordPress Max site WordPress Guides I have finally found the time to update the look here with a new WordPress theme.

The new theme here is a highly modified version based on the Ads Theme by Blogging Secret. My intent is to bring this blog back and spend more time adding useful content and make a little more money with it as well.

If you want a customized WordPress theme I can tweak a WordPress Theme for you if you wish, just Click Here and tell me what you need done.

Many network marketers have found ways to use their blogs to earn residual and multiple streams of incomes. They are doing this by stepping “outside the box” and using one of the most on-the-rise trends in marketing.

They have found ways of using their blogs for advertising, selling of products, reviews, how-to’s, and much more. In this Tidbits, I will cover several of the ways that marketers have turned this trend into a revenue venue. Combining the information that they, and you too, already have at your fingertips can drive these marketers into realms of the undiscovered territories on the Internet.

First, these top marketers start with their pay-per-click search engines. They research the keywords and phrases that other marketers are using to drive traffic to their Websites. They also use the same technique to find out what people are searching for. With these techniques, you can create a very tightly woven niche market for the creation of a blog.

Secondly, use your Google Adsense in a more power-driven area than you have in the past. By inserting your Google Adsense ads onto your blogs in strategic places, you can increase your Adsense income. However, when using something like Adsense, don’t overlook other advertising revenues you may have at hand. These include your own classified sites that you have set up with an autoresponder service, paid-to-click advertising, banner ads, and others. I will go into this further in another Tidbits.

Having your Adsense ads match the content of your blog will enable you to create click throughs from visitors to sites that are related to the content of your blog. This can also work with the other sites like Adsense.

Third, don’t forget your affiliate programs! Do they have products that are customer-worthy? Use a blog to give product reviews of any of the products that you have personally used, have sold to others, and received testimonials on. Write articles on how best to use these products with specific tasks or problems that these products will solve. Don’t let my short list slow you down. You have a technique that is working for you already with affiliate programs. Add it to your blog.

While this may seem obvious, it’s important that the products listed in your affiliate programs should be related to the content of your blog. Providing a source from which to purchase will create a sense of “ease” for your customers. For instance, if your blog is talking about a particular brand of tea, having a subtle advertisement or banner on your blog leading to a green tea product will be beneficial to you and your visitor and result in more sales revenue.

If you don’t have an affiliate program that has products, I suggest that you search for targeted affiliate programs that will suit your needs as well as those of your customers.

Make sure to keep each blog topic specific to maintain your niche market. Going off topic could cost you traffic as well as potential customers. Adding content to your blog at least once a week, will also help you maintain a better ranking on search engines and ensure that repeat visitors will have fresh material to read.
