I am not promoting my blog here. Just want to know if there are any proven ways to get more visitors on my blog. Currently I am getting around 10 to 15 people per day and I want it to increase.

Make sure you have all the correct buttons for people to share via your blog. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Tumblr - all of them to start with.

This will allow users to just share straight away without thinking or copying and pasting your link etc. (it's a lazy world)

LinkedIn is a professional network where you can target "professionals" who most likely do there reading, so if you target a particular group that enjoys reading blogs/articles from your niche then you are likely to get long term readers as long as your content is well written.

Tip 7 - Content is the King Cover trending topics

Cover trending topics

Our biggest traffic days tended to be those when we covered major events within our niche.

For example, with Quick Sprout, when I covered Google updates like Panda and Penguin, I saw a surge of traffic. The same thing happened when Hummingbird was covered on KISSmetrics.

We also saw similar traffic trends when we blogged about Apple’s marketing around its events.

Tip 8 - Place a Social Sharing Widget on Your Blog

Published: 10 years, 8 month(s) ago | Submitted by Riley | permalink

Social sharing widgets make it easy for people to share your content on their networks and bring in more visitors. Not having a widget or plug in means people have to manually share your links, which is not very likely.

Tip 9 - Word of mouth through business events (Connect > Share > More Visitors)

The ultimate best tool to get more visitors, attend big business events where other bloggers may be... from there tell them about your blog and the obstacles you're facing, be sure to give back by checking out their blog too... Connect > Share > More Visitors
