Blog without a good traffic is like the standing water, which does not give value to anyone. Increasing blog traffic is very essential for bloggers.
Bloggers are very much concerned about increasing traffic on their blogs and usually get confused abut it.
In this article i am going to share with you my experience, how i generated a minimum of 1000 daily traffic on my blog.
Initially, i just focused on writing good content. I was not concerned abut traffic and that is why i was not getting traffic.
I was spending hours and hours on research and writing a articles for my blog.
The traffic was at 100 to 150 views per day.
After some time i got frustrated and starting thinking as to why my blog is not getting the views which i wanted.
After thorough analysis and research on generating traffic, i got the point.
I made a strategy which worked for me.
Now i easily get minimum 1000 views on my blog daily. The strategy is mentioned below in this article for you to increase your blog traffic.
Here is my strategy of getting 1000 page views per day.
Content Research
Content Is King
First of all i think about the topic on which i want to write on.
I do a keywords research from different platforms like Google Keywords Planner, which is an amazing keywords research platform.
I note down Keywords researched and then i start searching the content on the internet based on identified keywords.
I do a proper research on the content topic, which i am going to write on.
My research is not limited to reading few blogs posts but I try to read maximum possible content about my topic on the internet.
After reading and research, i find out common points and note them.
This common points analysismakes me very clear about themissing part from all those blogs' posts, which i read and research.
Missing points are noted in addition to common points.
I think a lot before producing any content and build a mind map for my whole post. It takes around 15 to 20 minutes but it pays off.
I incorporate the missing part in my blog post in a logical manner. Ensure that information flow is genuine.
I always try to bring something new and natural for my readers and i succeed in doing this.
Why Good Content Is Necessary For Blog?
Good content is necessary to establish the worth of a blog and follow ship but it works when blog or content is shared and reached to the audience at right time.
People ask about different strategies, to increase the blog traffic and just focus on writing good content only in the hope that traffic will flow automatically.
It is not right from blog traffic point of view.

Social Media Platforms
Now we move on to other aspects of generating 1000 minimum daily traffic.
- Facebook Page
- Facebook Groups related to your blog
- Google Plus Communities
- LinkedIn - In the form of an Article and Update
Now i am dividing the rest of my article in 3 parts, which are as follows:
- Content Sharing
- Social Media
- Email Marketing
- SEO
- Discussion
1) Content Sharing
The content or blog post must be shared with audience. You have to share the post with in your friend circle or colleagues. Yes it works.
Share your stuff with those who are in touch with you and trust on you. Share links with them through personal messages or one to one email and ask for their review responses. People love to give review responses.
You will note that after a specified period of time blog will become your identity and people recognize you as a writer and blogger. This is marketing.
2) Social Media Marketing
This one is very important from blog traffic point of view. Billion of people are registered on social media websites like Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit etc.
You must have active profile on all these social media forums.
These are the platforms where you should post your article:
Google Plus
Google Plus is amazing platform for sharing your blog and generating traffic. I personally love this forum.
There are various groups on Google Plus with large number of registered members.
You have to join the related groups on Google Plus and share your posts and articles with images, for readers attention, knowledge and information.
You can take part of discussions and generate traffic.
On Facebook you need to create a dedicated Facebook Page for your blog and try to increase the likes of that page.
Continuous posting is required on this page for generating blog traffic.
Headlines of the post should be catchy and image should be creative and good to make people click on the link.
Facebook groups are also great for sharing blog posts and traffic generation.
Join the related Facebook groups and become part of creative discussion there. Your traffic will increase.
On your Twitter account you have to share your blog post. Try to reach the professional bloggers there and engage with them slowly.
Learn from them and share your stuff with them for their expert opinion. It will require followup and time. You need to keep on trying. It will benefit you.
Retweet other important and related stuff om your Twitter page. It creates value of your account.
LinkedIn
I share my content on LinkedIn regularly. It increases readership and generates traffic for my blog.
You need to write an article on LinkedIn, to engage the audience and increase traffic on your blog.
LinkedIn is a professional forum where millions of professionals from different fields and backgrounds are registered and they want to learn new and professional stuff.
Good practice is to share a comprehensive article every alternate day on LinkedIn and in the end mention your website URL.
Always focus on sharing professional material on LinkedIn, otherwise it will go wasted.
If your article is good and comprehensive with conclusion, you will generate traffic on your blog from LinkedIn.
You need to make an account on Pinterest and share your pins their in the form of images.
Pinterest is a great platform for those with established follow ship.
You need to continuously share images of your posts with links on the Pinterest. It work slowly and gradually but pays off.
Email Marketing
I try to share my posts through email to the audience.
If you have a good email addresses database then you can get good number of traffic on your blog post.
These points are necessary and crucial before sending emails:
- Timing of sending emails is very important. Promotional emails sent in office timings usually go wasted.
- People check their personal emails when they get free.
- Excessive emails does not work and recipients do not read.
- Emails sharing should be periodic.
- Email should be with catchy headlines and brief information with a proper image. People like to click on those links which is accompanied with good and colorful images.
SEO
Search engine optimization known as SEO is a magic which is applied on the content and website to generate the organic traffic on a blog or website.
SEP takes time and requires continuous strategy to make sure that posts and articles are shown in the search engine results pages SERP when relevant keywords are searched by readers on search engines.
Both types of SEOs that is On Page SEO and Off Page SEO are important for generating the organic traffic and getting a ranking on Google.
I have comprehensively covered On Page SEO and Off Page SEO in my previous posts, as a step by step guide.
Discussions
Another very important way of generating good traffic on your blog is to take part in discussion at reliable and recommended website.
I have joined Quora.com, where i actively give answers to people. I believe Quora is a great platform, where you can learn a lot and share your blogging stuff in a smart and professional manner.
Another good platform is "Inbound"where you can discuss at various forums and market your blog.
Commenting
Another way of generating traffic is taking part in comments section of famous and related blogs.
Do not share your links there instead become part of creative discussion and add value for readers. If you give valuable comments then people follow you and visit your blog for more information and insights.
I follow this as well.
Conclusion
Increasing traffic on blog is a fun way process and requires combination of writing the very good article and sharing it with the people.
Social media, SEO, Emails, Discussions, Comments and Images all work in generating traffic on blog.
