Blog Traffic Strategies That Work

By: Matt Garrett

You know all about search engine optimization as a blog traffic generation strategy, but is there anything else you can do to bring readers and potential customers your way.

One of the most used blog traffic generation strategies is the PPP, or pay-per-performance method, which requires that you pay for the traffic generated only when that traffic results in some provable benefit.

The familiar PPC, or pay-per-click, form of traffic generation is a type of PPP, and with Pay-per-click you are only charged if someone viewing one of your advertisements actually clicks it.

Google AdWords is presently the greatest server of pay-per-click ads, with a system which lets advertisers bid for keywords and then use them in small ads distributed on Google’s search and content networks.

Social marketing, while it does not qualify as a kind of pay-per-performance traffic generation technique, is nonetheless an effective means of generating blog traffic. You are engaging in social marketing any time you promote your service of product directly to other people social networking sites like MySpace, or do email or telemarketing.

Finally, there are literally dozens of viral traffic generation techniques; they include such things as providing the best possible service or product to your customers, doing everything you can to satisfy their needs, and letting word of mouth bring more traffic your way.

You can also practice viral traffic generation by offering free software or ebooks to but only to those individuals who have been referred to you. This approach to blog traffic generation depends on you’re offer successfully creating a “buzz’, although when something free is involved that is not difficult.

And by requiring a referral, nobody will get your freebie unless they first find someone else who has it. It’s a great way to exponentially increase the demand for whatever you are offering!

Of course search engine optimization is a necessity, but you can never have enough blog traffic generation techniques at your disposal if you want your blog to become a real money making tool!

Fortunately there are tried and tested methods for finding suitable niches, which anyone can adapt and use in their own business.

  • Collaboration Beats Competition By: Drew020 - I believe in cooperation rather than competition. I think it serves customers better when they have a choice. And let's face it, not every product or service suits every customer. So if someone doesn't like my style of coaching, I'll happily refer them to someone else who might be a better fit. That's cooperation rather than competition. As proof that cooperation can work, look at some other examples from ‘big business'.

  • The Power of Nice By: Drew020 - Nice. It's the four letter word we need to hear more of. I don't know about you, but I think we seem to be back to the days of ‘lunch is for wimps.' We're surrounded by a cut-throat business environment where workers think nothing of trampling on each other in the fight for profits. And if you haven't squished a competitor by lunchtime then you're weak.

  • Does Your Message Match Your Market? By: Drew020 - Does Your Message Match Your Market? Dan Kennedy eloquently states a key principle in marketing by referring to the ‘message to market match'. Let's review this important concept. Firstly, let's break it down. Your ‘message' is WHAT you tell the customer to persuade them to buy your product or service. Incidentally, don't confuse the message with the media or medium used to ‘transport' the message, such as an eBay listing, a classified ad, a yellow pages ad, a website page etc. The ‘market' is your audience of customers.

  • A.L.O Technique -- Use Testimonials By: Drew020 - A.L.O. is a term I coined (deliberately similar in style to S.E.O.) which stands for ‘Auction Listing Optimization'. It can be defined as ANYTHING you can do within the eBay environment that increases the number of buyers, or that prompts buyers to go directly to your website. Each month I discuss an A.L.O. technique that you can implement in your eBay business… There's a famous British comedy series from the 70's that featured John Cleese (from Monty Python fame).

  • Bids and Pieces - Are You Using Video Yet By: Drew020 - I've been preaching for a looooong time about using video in eBay listings. It's really easy to do (yes, even if you're not a geek) and it's persuasive. If you want to sell more, using video is one of the best things you can add to your listings or your website. The user interface is intuitive and fun, and it's remarkably easy and fast to find the kind of vehicle you're looking for.

  • Sometimes It All Just Goes Wrong By: Drew020 - If you've been in business for awhile, you'll have experienced occasions when everything goes wrong. Despite your best efforts, circumstances beyond your control conspire and some of your customers have a bad experience. What do you do? Bury your head in the sand? Leave the country for a couple of weeks? Change your phone number? Well, you could, but that won't solve the problem.

  • If You Only Read One Column, Read This One! By: Drew020 - In the March issue of this newsletter, I featured an interview with Jeff Johnson, a very smart marketer who's a good friend of mine. I enjoyed this interview very much, and even though I‘ve heard Jeff speak many times, I took away some tips that have made me many thousands of dollars in profit since then.

  • Rewarding Research By: Drew020 - I've never been a fan of number crunching or compiling data, in fact that's putting it mildly. Truth is it makes me shudder just thinking about it, but I've come to realize that whether I like it or not is irrelevant. Research data is valuable, so it needs my attention (and yours too). I've also learned that I don't have to be the one to pore over the excel spreadsheets – there are plenty of other people who get excited at equations and graphs and charts and algebra.
