Did your traffic hit a plateau
Once you start the blog you post it to all your friends etc and they visit, then some of themare less enthusiastic about your posts. At this stage you need genuine traffic outside of your friend circle. Did you experinced the same? How did you over came it.
If you wanna go cheap...
1. publicize ur blog on social networking sites put up status updates, tweet, buzz..
2. add a email signature with ur site adress, (this really helps)
3. join various blogging network
4. comment on other people's blog, build up a fan base
5. Build links, exchange links with blogs of same genre. The more links you have the more chances of diverted traffic you have.
6. Guest blog - this might be a tad too difficult, coz after work and all, it difficult to update your own blog regualrly. but again if u do it, it helps
7. and then there is google adwords, put up ads( that i ll suggest should be at a later stage, when you have decent content.
At the end of the day, you need to work hard, and put effort mate :-)
cheerio
Followed the most of the points..
- The Social thing -> Doing, but turns out that I am not that social
- Email signature -> did (even here also) Tunrs out I dont email much and people dont visit
- Bloggind network -> Here I am, writting in indiblogger but turns out not many are interested about my subject of blog
- Commenting -> Comment where ? every where I find Tech blogs and personal blog
nothing on my subject so even if I comment, their readers are not interested.. - Link building -> People ask money in return since my blog as no rank at all
- Guest blog -> didn't try it yet
- Google Adwords -> I am poor you kow..
Only thing in these points which I missed out is guest blogging, lets see if I can get any opurtunity !!!
Hey Sauvik: When u say cheap do u mean cheap by expense or cheap by ethics?
Hunkey! so saD!
i believe it is long grinding phase of brand building, particularly when you don t intend to commercialise the same without revenue stream to back up. Like minded bloggers need to lift the blogs, i am only concerned that many are selfish in their endeavour, they seek comments and add on i mean followers but they don t reciprocrate when it comes to them.
@ Sauvik all the best for your phase of brand building.
I just tried to write comments to blogs which I liked and generally they reciprocated... Obviously I genuinely loved visiting their blogs...
Also I tried to follow blogs in my niche "Travel" and they too being interested in travelling followed mine too!!
But the main source of traffic is definitely from Google and other search engines which has always been on a steady rise since then
my traffic has always been in that plateau. i chose to blog anonymously and haven't really taken much effort in publicizing my blog.
+1 me too
I blog anonymously too. No "friends" traffic. All genuine traffic.
I got the big traffic in those days, coz of my opposite stream articles! but i m really thnkful, ppl took me seriously and boost my confidence, they spent so much time on my blog, discussing!
actually i didn't intentionally, but just wrote what i feel. but ppl respected it a lot.
