10 Unique tips to get more blog traffic for your website!

When discussing the word traffic in the world of blogging or in general, as pertaining to social media, it doesn’t imply roadside traffic or the famous traffic along the streets of Lagos. While these ones aren’t productive and are situations which you would do everything in your power to avoid, website traffic is exactly the opposite. Which website doesn’t it’s owner love to have traffic being driven to his or her posts? Have you noticed that sometimes, even seemingly normal or even uninteresting posts seem to gather more traffic than even your soulful, impactful posts?

You then begin to wonder what they are doing right- or in fact, what it is that you are doing wrong to make you the recipient of only trickles of website traffic. If you have ever faced this dilemma of paucity in website traffic, these tips are just right for you:
Unique Tip 1: Refurbish your headlines
You have only a few seconds to either engage a reader or a surfer of the net, or to dissuade him or her from continuing rummaging your work, if for instance, you end up tying this person down, he or she might end up going from post to post, creating, even more, traffic for other posts, which weren’t the primary reason for the visit. What catches a reader’s attention first? Your headline. Your topic. Your subject matter.
Many a writer would find it easy to ignore the headline of a post and then focus heavily on the content of that post, forgetting that the headline is what would make the reader either to continue or to stay away from your write-up. Your headlines cannot be wishy-washy, or an afterthought, they have to be deliberate and catchy enough to make others want to read further than the headline. In other words, you ought to create a thirst in your readers through your headlines.

Research has shown that if you increase blogging by one day- e.g. if you start posting 6 times per week instead of 5 times, you might have as much as an increment in your page views by as much as one-fifth of what it used to be. In other words, more content drives a greater amount of traffic.
Unique Tip 5: Study your analytics, and focus more on what works for you!
There have been some posts which people vote more in favor of or would rather subscribe to. What are you doing about such posts? In my opinion, you should study these posts and the similarities amongst them that make them so valuable to readers. As a matter of fact, months later, some of these posts are still generating a lot of traffic! If you can create more of these kinds of posts, of course, you would get even more traffic to your website.

When there are proper categories, this process is faster and helps you to get more traffic, quite easily.

That impression alone is a potent traffic-builder! You could also make something special about such interviews by ensuring that they answer pertinent questions within your niche- making everyone to look forward to these interviews.
