Increasing blog visitors is the main problem for Bloggers.
Not even a few Bloggers who give up at this stage, there are those who are frustrated and some are bored because all the ways that they implement do not also bring blog visitors significantly.
Most of them use old methods that are already ineffective.
The application of ancient SEO techniques that are carelessly possible has been stamped SPAM by Google so that the effect will not be felt. Even if it feels it will only be sweet in front of it and end with a penalty from Google.
Therefore you must be careful.
In order to be able to bring massive and significant blog visitors, there is a need to apply these three things:
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Link Building
- Marketing Content (Content Promotion)
1 # Quality Content
The most important part of a blog or website is content. In addition, the main reason people visit your blog is also content.
So, the first thing you should consider is the quality of blog content
How to make quality content?
Easy.
The logic of quality content must have two main requirements, which are more complete and more useful
To create content like this you can use Google.
For example, I will create content with the main keyword "how to increase blog visitors".
You just type the keyword on Google and click search.
Well, make sure the content you are about to make is more complete than all the articles on page one.
... or you can also take the top 5 rankings.
Open one by one the article and read.
After that create the content. Make sure it's more complete and better than the five articles. For reference to making articles, you can take advantage of ebooks, books, or articles that fit the topic.
It would be better if from your own experience.
2 # Comfortable Blog Design
An elegant blog design that is pleasing to the eye will make visitors feel at home for long.
The longer visitors on your blog, the more likely your article is read, especially if the internal structure of the link is good, there will certainly be many pages viewed by visitors.
I myself like a clean and simple blog design.
There aren't too many widgets that burden the blog. Just prioritize important widgets such as popular posts, recent posts, and random posts.
The font type used must also be considered.
Choose a font that is comfortable in the eyes, do not use strange fonts. In addition, also pay attention to the color of the link, use colors that are comfortable and SEO friendly, such as blue.
3 # Fast Loading
No doubt that loading speed affects the SEO ranking of a website.
The faster the loading, the better.
Vice versa if the loading is slow then the number of visitors to the blog will be less.
To see the loading speed of a blog, you can take advantage of online tools, namely GTmetrix.
Here are some tips for faster loading of your blog:
- Limit the number of widgets
- Compress all uploaded images
- Limit the number of outgoing links
- Don't use the image as a blog background
- Compress all HTML code on your blog
- Eliminate rendering of JavaScript and CSS blocking
4 # Blog Navigation
Navigation is an important element in a website.
Navigation is enabled to make it easier for blog visitors to explore the content on the blog.
Good navigation is navigation that makes it easier for visitors and also comfortable (in the sense of not excessive).
So make clear navigation on your blog.
For example in the form of navigation in the header or in the sidebar (covering popular posts, recent posts, random posts).
In addition, it also optimizes navigation in the form of related articles below and in articles so that visitors are more easily moved from one content to another.
5 # Domain TLD
If you intend to build branding in the long run, it is strongly recommended to use TLD (Top Level Domain) for your blog.
This is very good in terms of SEO and visitors.
By using the TLD domain, your blog will feel more professional so visitors will prefer it.
Besides that, remembering it becomes easier.
Whereas in terms of SEO certainly TLD is preferred by Google than free domains.
Even so, everything depends on the quality of the content. The better the quality of the content, the more prioritized by Google, especially if you use the TLD domain will definitely be loved.
Okay, if your blog meets the five things above, let's do an optimization to increase blog visitors.
Ways to Increase Blog Visitors With Modern SEO Techniques
1 # Create Popular Content
Besides creating quality content, you must be diligent in writing content that is popular or has the chance to become popular.
You can take advantage of Google Trends or peek at popular content from your competitors.
To see popular content from competitors, you can take advantage of online tools from Ahrefs.
If you are still confused as to what viral or popular content is, you can peek at articles in Hipwee or VivaLog.
You don't need to make the exact same article. Just look for the theme that is currently popular, then make an article from the theme.
Make as complete as possible.
2 # Great Title
Interesting or not your article can be seen from the title.
The title is the most important part of the content.
If the title is normal, chances are that visitors are also not interested in reading your article, even if the content of the article is heavy.
To make an interesting title actually only requires creativity from the author.
But if there are no difficulties in making interesting content titles, here are some tips that you can do:
- Use numbers or percentages
- Use compelling words (fast, easy, practical, etc.)
- Use titles that contain questions
- Use a collection of method titles
- Use quotes from a character

3 # Interesting Images
An article without an image is like rice without salt, tasteless there is no taste.
In each content, try to give at least one interesting image that is pleasing to the eye.
You can get it from Google Images or search for free licenses on Pixabay or Pexels.
Important!
Before you upload the image to the blog try to always compress the image to make it lighter. The goal is to load your blog faster.
To compress images you can use online tools like TinyPNG.
4 # Share to Social Media
Be careful when sharing your blog posts to social media, don't be considered spam.
Try to post it scheduled and avoid using automatic post tools.
To begin, first, determine the social media that we will use for promotion.
For example, we choose Facebook.
Theural copy of your article then posts on Facebook, don't forget to give an interesting picture and include a few sentences at the beginning of the post.
Next is to set the schedule to share posts on Facebook. In order to get a lot of visitors, we must post at the right time.
Yes, the time when many people are online on Facebook.
Besides Facebook, you can also take advantage of Google+, Twitter and Instagram to increase blog visitors.
5 # Take advantage of Guest Posts
Guest posts have many benefits, ranging from building branding, SEO optimization, to increasing blog visitors.
If your blog is still quiet or even very quiet, it is highly recommended to make guest posts regularly.
The first step is to look for the website where you will make guest posts.
Choose a website that is popular and has many visitors. Contact the owner and say that you want to do a guest post.
After that, specify the theme and prepare quality articles, do not forget to insert a few backlinks so that website visitors can stray to your blog.
Remember!
Make sure the article you are going to use for guest posts is a weighty article and not an article of recycling or copy-paste.
This will affect the visitors of the blog.
If your writing is good and useful, readers of the blog will not hesitate to stop by your blog.
6 # Article Optimization
We go into a slightly complicated stage, namely article optimization to make it more SEO friendly.
In the era of modern SEO techniques, the actual understanding of good articles and SEO has changed.
We used to consider SEO articles as articles that:
- Has a fraction of a keyword density
- The length is more than 300 words
- The keyword must be bold, underline, or italic
- Keywords must be prioritized in the initial and final paragraphs
Now it's different.
SEO friendly articles no longer use the above rules, but see how satisfied visitors are to the articles they read.
So it can be concluded that SEO articles are human-friendly articles.
Now, your job is to make human-friendly articles.
How to?
First, the writing style must match the target audience.
Who is reading your blog, old, young, female or male? Know that then adjust the language style. You can use Google Analytics to see the character of the reader.
Second, don't stick to the keyword.
Write as you are telling a story. Avoid excessive use of keywords, let alone accumulate them at the beginning and end of the article.
Third, don't copy the style of writing.
This article is different from the book. The writing style must also be different. If in each book the paragraph consists of lots of sentences, different if you write articles.
Articles must be written per sentence or several sentences and then given a distance to the next sentence so that the visitor's eyes are not tired while reading.
Fourth, place the main keyword in the title.
For example, you create an article with the main keyword "how to increase blog visitors", then make sure the keyword is in the title of your article.
Fifth, the URL address of the article is short and solid.
Do not make the URL address of the article too long, later it will be difficult to remember after all a long URL also has a bad impact on SEO.
So make a short URL of the article and there are keywords in it.
For example, the main keyword "internet marketing guide".
Just make the URL become: http://qberblog.blogspot.com/ guides-internet-marketing
Don't like this: http://qberblog.blogspot.com/complete-internet-marketing-guide-for-newbies
Sixth, include pictures, illustrations, infographics, etc. depending on the type of article you make.
Always include pictures in each article that you make, at least one. Don't forget to give the title tag (use the main keyword) and the meta tag (derived keyword) in the image.
Seventh, use persuasive and interesting meta descriptions.
You don't need to stack keywords in the meta description article. Excessive keyword buildup will reduce the quality of your article, so it's best to avoid it.
7 # Install Share Button
This share button widget turns out to be very useful for increasing blog visitors.
If your article is weighty and useful, chances are that your articles are shared higher, so the more people share, the more people will see your article.
You can place this share button in the sidebar, under the article, or floating (floating) next to the blog.
8 # Link Building
This is one technique that is effective in increasing blog visitors drastically and massively.
Link building = Backlink
In the link building strategy, we must actively look for backlinks to other websites.
Avoid ancient link building techniques like:
- Backlinks from blog comments
- Backlink exchange
- Use instant backlink tools
- Redirect backlink
- Backlink bookmarks social site
Instead, you have to apply healthy link building techniques as I wrote in the previous article: Link building strategies to get super SEO backlinks.
9 # Target Keyword With High Search Volume And Low Competition
If you do keyword research on the Google Keyword Planner, you should select keywords with high search volume but the level of competition is low to moderate.
Remember!
Do not directly target keywords with volume and high competition, especially if you just blogged yesterday afternoon and still lack SEO knowledge like me.
Even if you are busy and choose to use high-competition keywords.
Then the most appropriate solution is to make your article better and more complete than all articles on Google's page one according to targeted keywords.
10 # Take advantage of Facebook Groups
Facebook is still the king of social media today. The visit per day can penetrate millions of people. Because it's very unfortunate if we don't use this well.
Mainly to increase blog visitors.
You can use Facebook Groups that are relevant to the niche of your blog.
If your blog is about health, then look for a Facebook group that discusses health.
Choose groups that are clean of spam and actively discuss.
Then do interactions for several weeks by actively giving and answering questions in the group.
If you are already well-known, just promote your article regularly.
11 # Take advantage of Google+
The first thing I did after publishing the article was to share it with Google+.
Especially if you use the Blogger platform that has been integrated with Google+, it will definitely be much easier to get visitors.
On Google+, there is also a community or group feature that we can use for blog promotion.
The way is not much different like Facebook Group, we first search for the relevant group then join.
If so, the interaction is first to do the proper promotion.
12 # Submit Articles to News Sites
If you want to get thousands of visitors in a short time, the answer is to send the url of your article to several news sites that receive content sharing.
Examples are VivaLog and Liputan6.com.
Both of these sites allow bloggers to send snippets of their articles to be later posted on the website.
The effect is extraordinary if your article is published successfully.
In a short time, your article will be flooded with thousands of visitors per day.
Although the effect is only one to two days, it is quite good, especially for new blogs.
For VivaLog, I have often sent articles and many of them have been published. But for coverage6 I have never tried it.
13 # Free share
Well, the technique that I think is the most fat.
Sharing something free is effective in attracting many visitors to your blog.
Especially if the free things that you share are needed and useful for visitors.
For example:
- Ebook
- Software
- Blogger template
- Book
- Design
- Audio
- Video
Furthermore, for this technique to be more profitable, it's a good idea to share it for free while collecting email lists or contacts from visitors.
This is called list building.
The goal is to tell visitors in the future if there is new content or new products that you want to share.
This technique is very effective to produce regular visitors on your blog.
Okay, it's finished until here is a discussion about how to increase blog visitors.
