How to increase traffic for blogs? Use blog widgets.

Blogs are nowadays a big fashion. Blogs are also easiest way how to start with own internet business for everybody who is connected to internet. With help of pages as Blogger.com, WordPress.com is blogging availaible for everybody without knowing something about web development. To be successful, means a lot of visitors on blog. I want write here some tips how to increase traffic on blog pages for free. Some tips how to increase traffic I wrote in previous post My traffic is terrible. What to do? First of all I want to choose some important steps from previous post good for blog traffic:

• Good content
• SEO
• Social network sites
• Social bookmarking sites

In this post I want show you how to increase your traffic with help of some useful widgets from social networking sites. Using widgets is relatively new way hot to increase traffic for blogs. Widget is Web 2.0 component generated on external page, and it is presented on as image or as iframe.

After installing widget on your page, widget shows headlines from blogs registered on BlogRush. Headlines from your blog will be shown as many times as your widget is shown. It is a good source of quality traffic from blogs with the same niche. BlogRush accepts only quality blogs. After declining you have possibility to resubmit blog after month. I read from other sources, that it increase traffic for blogs, especially for blogs with more traffic.

BlogCatalog is for me very good source of traffic. It is social networking site. You register blog here and you can discuss with others. By making new friends, joining to groups and sending posts to discussion your blog is more visible on BlogCatalog pages, and you have higher possibility that somebody it visits. I like their Recent Visitors widget. After installing it shows avatars of last visitors on your blog that are registered on BlogCatalog. And after clicking on avatars you visit their profiles on BlogCatalog page. Developers usually want to know who visited their blogs. And the probably visit your blog in return. That means visits on your blog is comparable to your visits on other blogs.

MyBlogLog is similar site like BlogCatalog. Company is owned by Yahoo and it is possible to register there only with Yahoo ID. You can also add your blog and for registered blog create widgets. I also prefer Recent Visitors widget. Each blog represents community, where it is possible to join. You can also add friends there. For blogs with installed widgets you can view also good stats. Unfortunately after short time stats is switched to limited version, and full version is available only as paid feature. I prefer BlogCatalog system, but this page can also bring a good traffic to blog.

On this page I register only a day ago. It looks like they have less members like first 3 pages. After registration there is possibility to add blogs, join in groups, and find friends. They also provide Recent Visitors widget. I read from other sources, they sometimes it can be problem with speed of blog site where is widget installed. I don't have this problem on my computer, but I am not sure with other computers. I don't know how much can BUMPzee increase traffic, because I am new there.

All 4 widgets can help to increase traffic for your blog. How much it depends on you. How many friends do you find there and how many other blogs do you visit is source for gross calculation of your possible number of visitors. My opinion is to choose one or two from them, and there to be as active as it is possible. And of course to combine it with other sources of traffic, from my post above.

My traffic is terrible. What to do?

In this post I would like to write about the most powerful traffic sources. Site without traffic lost its meaning. No traffic means, no money from site. But how to improve traffic for site? This question interests a lot of webmasters. Here you can find some tips how to improve your traffic. All tips are ordered by importance from my point of view.

1. Good content

Good content is most important source of visitors. Returning visitors are the best visitors. And visitors return to your page only when they find useful info on your page.

2. SEO

Search engines are very strong source of traffic. Well optimized page on first page of Google for strong keyword is treasure. It brings on site thousands visitors a day. Disadvantage of this source is that situation can change, and your page dismiss from first pages. Competition in SEO is very tough.

3. Social network sites

Social networks are pages grouping people with similar interests. People in groups usually make friends easier. And friends with similar interests visits their friends pages. It is very good source, especially for experienced webmasters. Similar like in real life, introverts can have problems to use this source effectively.

4. Forums and signature links

Forums are places where you can find answers on your questions. Similar like social networking sites forums group people with similar interests. Advantage of some forums are signature links. Every post written with you means new back link on your page. And you can also find here friends or possible customers. Good strategy for forums is: try to help others on forums every time when it is possible and you become authority on forum. And authorities are good source for information and source for these informations could be find on your page from your signature.

5. Directory links

This is not good source directly for traffic. Traffic from directories is not very high. But links on your page improve rank for your page. And better ranked pages can have better position in search engines.

6. Social bookmarking sites

Power of social bookmarking sites for traffic is unbelievable. People who like content of our page, can bookmark your page on social bookmarking site. More people bookmark your page, means more votes for your content and that means better position on social bookmarking site. People like to see pages that like somebody else, and it can make snowball effect for traffic. Disadvantage of this source is short lifetime of this effect.

7. Article directories

Article directories lost a lot of popularity from past. By writing a good article with biography containing links on you page, can be a good source. A lot of people used on their pages articles from article directories. Now when search engines punish duplicate content on pages, is situation worse.

8. Blogs

Blogs are good source of traffic also. Search engine pages prefer sites that are changed frequently. It is a problem for sites with static content. Blog describing topics for niche of page can improve traffic from search engines. And blog is also place for discussions. And some blogs have discussion with search engine friendly links. And free links from high PR blogs are good links.

8. Templates

Nice template for WordPress blog or PHPLD directory is a gold mine. You have back link from every page, where is your template used. That means hundreds links from standard directory or blog. Disadvantage of this source is that you must be very good and experienced designer.

9. Widgets

Web 2.0 widgets are also very good source for traffic. Nice graphics widget inspires people to click on it, and after click they go on your site of course. But you must find a good service and be a good programmer to create good one.

10. PayPerClick Traffic

Advertising, with AdWords for example, is excellent source of traffic, that brings you good customers. Very good source, but unfortunately not free.
