In this evolutionary advancement in blogging, those who could not force their way out of the down below are really behind. Many things have change, and not even with the frequent upgrade and changes in this search engine algorithm. Therefore, it will really speak well if we all can have different sources of traffic which are genuine; I’m not talking about pseudo means here.


 And with this way of generating traffic which am about to share with you, in fact your visitors will still keep looking for you even if your website disappeared from the search engine. Funny right? I’m talking about reliable ways here, which most bloggers and internet marketers are not too serious with. However, contrary to what some people belief, I’ll be so happy to inform you that SEO is not the only way to get traffic, though it’s the most recommendable by Google but there are other means that are also channeled through SEO. 

Therefore, I’ll advise you to site tight because I’m about to take you on a ride to the journey of real and reliable traffic making. 

Guest Posting 

Guest posting which some people also called guest blogging has been so lately been a very good source of traffic. When you are blessed with the spirit of writing; like I use to say and you were able to get a good blog with high page rank to write for.

 This issue of getting a high page ranked blog is essential because of some benefits you’ll get, that are more than just traffic. Talking about strong backlink, reputation and also your page rank will also shoot up. Popular site are always getting a steady flow of visitors, even if they stop posting articles.

 Yesterday, I conversed with a fellow blogger that owns a blog with nothing less than 25,000 page views per day. I asked him that it’s been a while that he posted, and he told me that he is shot of ideas to post on his blog, but he now has visitors of like 40,000 page views. 
What I’m I saying in essence is that, he has worked very hard and has posted articles as a guest blogger on several blogs in his niche and now he is reaping the labor even when he decided not to post for a while. Therefore, my advice for you is to start guest posting today if you have not started. 

The use of Technorati

It seems as if Technorati is not too common to some bloggers, or probably let me say people finds the platform very difficult to navigate like I did when I first signed up. Having your blog listed on Technorati is a plus for you. Just ask me why? Because this site works by ranking blogs according to their authority, therefore this will activate the inert potential in you to work very hard. 

They have rules anyway, so you have to stick to their terms and conditions. Nevertheless, such sites like this which are mostly blog directories help you to mix with other blogs, whereby you comment on their blogs and at the end of the day you get a quality backlink and more traffic. 

The use of Social Media

Let me start like this; I believe you will never want to underestimate the power of social media? It’s a question and I believe all bloggers and internet marketers will response with a YES, because they know the importance and the good things they’ve gotten from using social media. 

Don’t think I should start mentioning names here, because the most popular among all Facebook has add a lot to the chart of most people. It’s very certain that you get a lot huge traffic on social networking by being more active on more sites like twitter, LinkedIn etc. and every time you create a new article, you stand the chance of linking those posts to social networking, where by you get traffic by your followers and fans. 

And most times when your articles are worth liking and retweeting, they definitely do that. Retweeting posts is one of the secret of getting traffic on twitter, especially when you have followers that has many followers. It exposes your link to larger audiences which in turn generate a steady traffic on your blog and when visitors saw that you have a quality content, they become a reader by subscribing to your blog. 

The Use of StumbleUpon 

I’m a great fan of stumble upon, because I have generated a lot of traffic form this site. Some few months ago, there was an interactive forum on which I shared how I got a lot of traffic on stumble upon. 

There is not more shortcut to getting traffic from stumble upon  but the only shortcut which many people refuses to follow is that you need to sign up an account, the update your profile account and steady sharing of your post on it. I think I’ll advice you to get sharing widgets that has stumble upon in inclusive, so it can be very easy to share to the site. 

The Use of High Quality Content

Nevertheless, I can’t but talk about the use of high quality content. Looking at the listed means of get tones of traffic, we’ll see that without quality contents, people will just skim and scan your blog and will never come again. 

This is still the best way to get huge traffic, no matter how many times you share on Facebook, or stumble upon, and also you should have it in mind that search engines love contents that provide solutions.

 Therefore, make this a habit… it’s not bad. I believe sharing my experience on how I got tones of traffic from these traffic generating sites, that you are convinced that SEO is not the only source to generating traffic? And also that quality content is still the king. 

I’ll like you to comment and share this post to some other people who you also think will benefit from this article as you have right now. There is a word that says “There is love in sharing”, so I wouldn’t want it to be that you’ll only benefit from this, why others wished to. So please share, like, tweet, and make this post go viral. Thanks

Putting up a blog is a thing that can be done in less than 10 minutes, but building and creating a successful blog is what people find very difficult to do. Building a successful blog takes two to tangle. What I mean is that you can never single-handily build a successful blog. Guess you want to ask me how and why? This implies that blogging itself requires engaging others, building relationships. 

When we talk about a successful blog, it’s not literally means making money. Though money making has been the sole reason why so many people venture into blogging, but I think money is a last resort after you might have put some things in other. When you do these things, then money comes in. Today I will be discussing about things you need to know before you can build a successful blog. 

1.Planning 

There is a phrase that says “He, who fails to plan, is planning to fail. Looking at this phrase I believe you know that in whatever thing, either business, building of house, think of anything as well as building a successful blog, planning comes first. I think someone should ask a question that why should I plan? Planning is very essential in every facet of life, in that it makes you to know the right steps to take. 

Planning in blogging makes you have a good survey of the market you are trying to enter, either profitable or not. Looking from how blogs are been made every day, it’s not or just to create any blog without surveying a good niche on which you can build your blog, but to know the right niche which will be generally accepted by your targeted audience. Therefore, for you to build a successful blog, planning ahead should be the first in which it prepares you ahead of any challenge.

  2.Choosing a Domain 
If you won’t get me wrong, many people have made mistakes right from the start of choosing a domain name for their blog. Aside Good contents which is now the king, having a user friendly name also go a long way in building a successful blog. 

Recommendation has been given on those who decide to use a domain name that has hyphens like your-blogspace.com, yourblog732.com. This kind of domain names are always taking longer times to stick to people’s memory and so also SEO wise, it’s not advisable. 


3.Build reputation

I believe this is a very important aspect of building a successful blog. A lot of people rushed their way into getting traffic first, and at the end of the day it wasn’t pleasant. I am a typical example of this. Building reputation is the first priority to building a successful blog.

 Make your blog known through social Medias, share your good content on forums, get a good twitter account and tweets good contents. These are places where you can start to build a successful blog.


  4.Good relationships

I see this point as a very good medium for new bloggers to learn. There are lots of pro bloggers out there, who are willing to help and I’m very sure they have stuffs to share.

Good relationships starts from you visiting their blogs are commenting and probably following them and Ask questions .


  5.Get a Facebook Fan Page

Don’t ever underestimate the power of social Medias. Few months ago, I made a research and I found out that 640 million people uses Facebook. Huh! Yea, exactly how I felt when I got the information. Just imagining you doing a business with such a huge figure or exposing your market reach to just half of this population? Social media lately has been a very good platform to showcase your talents.

 Also to build a very good link, get more traffic that you imagine and get good customers for your products. It’s good to know when you have a reasonable number of people following you on social media, either on Facebook or twitter. This really shows that your good work is really moving forward. If on the other hand everything is OK then you can use social media to gain more exposure and natural links. 


6.Keyword research 


This is a very crucial aspect of blogging you need to know, if you want to build a successful blog. I believe you know what SEO is all about? Search engine optimization. For you to have a great competing article, it needs to be optimized for search engine, and this is where keyword research comes in. Keywords are particular words or phrases that people search for on Google.

 For instance now, “blogging” people search for this word almost every minute, because everybody wants to know about blogging. So you need to be eye-opened when choosing your blog posts, especially this time that competition has risen so high. So any blog post you wish to write, you need to research well with the use of Google keyword tool and see the availability of a good keyword to make up your post.

 Making use of a long tail keyword is the best for the newbies, in other to avoid the competition in the Google search queries. For you to choose a very nice long tail keyword to use. 

Let’s take an example: If what you want to write on is make money, which is also your keyword, then to have a good long tail keyword, you can use “how to make money online” or “how to make money with your blog”.


  7.Quality Content


It was back then when quality contents were not that cogent. It’s not that are not important, but traffic was kind of rated. But today when the all-mighty Google has shifted their music band, then we need to follow suit. Content is really rated so high this day, because they believe provision of solution should be the priority.

 During the course of my research, I found a piece by Google which stated that as an internet marketer; what you need to consider first are your readers/visitor. However, writing compelling contents is the fast way to build a successful blog, because nobody wants a blog that cannot provide solution, which is what everybody wants.


  8.Be SEO Mindful 

Search engine optimization is one of the key factors of building a successful blog. It’s a way of bringing traffic to your sites by improving your search engine ranking. I think you need to take a very good time to build your successful blog around here. 

I never said other points are null, but only trying to make you realize that SEO is a very important aspect of building successful blog. And optimization spreads in a variety of ways and you need to know some basic principles of SEO 

1. We have optimization of your blog for effective ranking. 
2. Optimization of your blog for mobile view.
 3. Optimization of your images



9.Social Media Marketing 

Taking the pain to share and market your blog on social media. You can’t just underestimate the power of social media in building a successful blog.

Lately, it was estimated that social media has taking the shot of internet and even it surpasses any other searches on the web. Therefore promoting your blog on the social media is really one of the best ways to build a successful blog.

10.Blog Commenting

Blog commenting has recently contributed to the building of a successful blog. I’m a practical example of this last point. I tested this commenting for just a month, and I saw a tremendous increase in my blog traffic and reputation.

 I believe you’ll agree with me that for you to build a successful blog, none of these above point should be left behind. However, additional points and observation is highly welcome.
