How to get Traffic

Author: Will Fowler | Filed under: Conversion

Because this blog is essentially three-four weeks old, I’ve been finding it’s really hard to compete at this point, for such competitive search terms as "make money online," and "make money blogging." Now I’m not throwing in the towel on these, I will come back in the future. But for now, I’ve decided to go for a new keyword, "How to get traffic."

I’ve been realizing that my site really has nothing to do with how to make money blogging, or make money online. In reality, it’s a blog on how to get traffic. That’s probably what was effecting my rankings as well. I mean just take a look at my most popular posts, "how to get traffic," "how to use stumbleupon," "how to get traffic to your blog, there all about how to get traffic, and have nothing to do with making money.

My personal philosophy, is that if you have alot of traffic coming to your site, making money is easy, and can be done plenty of ways. So why waste time with a make money blog, when all people really need to know is how to get traffic.

However as I looked around the blogging world, I found that there are surprisingly few sites on gaining traffic. Every blog has a little post about it, but there are very few sites that focus solely on how to gain traffic. There isn’t even a niche for it. I have yet to find on any site, neither post or blog submissions ones, that have a category on how to get traffic. And so all these blogs are forced to sheepishly slink into the make money online group, when that’s really not what they are. So today I care a new niche, How to get traffic blogs. I don’t know what I’m going to do with that new found knowledge, but there it is all the same.

The one idea I did have though, was that blogs on how to get traffic are my favorite type of blog to read, that’s why I’m in it. And so I would love to see a site, that collects all of these into one, and does reviews on them and recommends the good ones.

If I were to create a site that collected and reviewed them, do you think people would read it? Would you read it?

  1. The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.

  2. It seems to me that the majority of your articles have been about increasing traffic already. So, I thing that you should go for it.
