4 Steps to Increase Your Blog/Website Traffic


Are you still figuring how to get more traffic or lead on your blog/website?
Are you in the trouble?
If you can’t get the traffic or lead, because you ain’t doing right.
This is the most common complaint from bloggers – is the fact that no matter how hard they tried, they can’t grow their blogs past 100 or so daily page views. Those early days are indeed the hardest, because you need to put hard work in without the certainty of achieving results.
If you are in the same situation, here is a simple strategy that will help to increase yourblog/website traffic and make you break the 1,000 daily page views mark. In fact, the strategy could be use even if you are already over that number but have reached a traffic plateau lately.
Just make sure to comply the 4 steps as planned and to spend the 2 hours and a half every day (If you have more time available you can expand the time spent on each of the 4 steps proportionally; the result will more better).

First Step: Killer Articles (1 hour per day)

Spend 1 hour brainstorming, researching and writing killer articles (also called linkbaits, pillar articles and so on).
Notice that your goal is to release one killer article every week. If that is not possible aim for one every 15 days. So the one hour that you will spend every day will be dedicated to the same piece. In other words, a killer article will take about 5 to 10 hours of work.
If you are not familiar with the term, a killer article is nothing more than a long and structured article that has the goal of delivering a huge amount of value to potential visitors. If you have a web design blog, for example, you could write an article with “100 Free Resources for Designers”. Here are some ideas for killer articles:
  • create a long list of resources,
  • write a detailed tutorial teaching people how to do something,
  • find a solution for a common problem in your niche and write about it, or
  • write a deep analysis on a topic where people have only talked superficially
When visitors come across your killer article, you want them to have the following reaction: “God damn it! This is awesome. I better bookmark it. Heck, I better even mention this on my site and on my Twitter/Facebook status, to let my readers and friends know about it.”
