Web traffic benefits from blogging.
The best way to get people and search engines (which means more people) to your site is to get relevant inbound links. If you have some new trick on your site, it can be easy because everyone will link to you.
However, with a basic fixed website, the process can be much more difficult and slower. How do you get people to link to you?
The best way is to empty your wallet! Okay, just kidding, but first we'll see how easy it is.
For example, there is a pay for blogging service that will cost you at least $5 per blog post (ie: per link) and maybe $25 or more. Now that's going to eat up your budget, and fast. These paid blog links do not come with any guarantee. You may have a lot of visitors and you may not get any at all.
Pay per click is another great way to spend all your money. This will surely bring you visitors and you will know how much each one costs. And it is done. There is no long-term benefit. Ads only appear as long as you pay for them. When your money isn't on the table, you don't exist!
You can buy links everywhere and again it can cost you a pretty penny, you may or may not get suitable results, but when you stop paying the results (good or bad) stop. You won't gain anything in the future.
Now, blogs are a great way to get visitors and create long-term returns. Blog posts tend to stay a long time. The trick is to get people to blog about your website without shelling out a bundle of your hard-earned money.
A great idea is to become a guest blogger. This is where you will write blog posts for other people's blogs. Read: your links on someone else's site for free!
This puts you in the driver's seat for several reasons. First, you have control over exactly what is said. Second, if you do a good job, you may have the opportunity to blog regularly. This will create a blogging audience for your writing and translate into more and better traffic to your website.
The key to being a great guest blogger is to write short (3 to 6 paragraphs) posts that are interesting, informative, funny, and relevant to the topic of the blog (and your website). Of course they should have a link to your website. Don't over connect. Don't make it sound like an ad or something you just cut and pasted from your website.
Taking a few minutes to write a few well thought out paragraphs can do wonders for your web traffic. Look for guest blogging options and never use the same post for more than one blog. One post could bring a lifetime of traffic.
This can be your most effective way to develop quality web traffic and improve your SEO for your website.
