Mobile Optimization
Ideally, you’ll have spent hours planning the design of your blog to ensure it looks fantastic. As  noted in an earlier article here mompreneurmedia.com, you should try and keep the design simple, and make sure the layout isn’t too complicated. But, you also need to think about the millions of people surfing the web and reading blogs on their mobile devices. If your blog isn’t optimized for these devices, then it’s hard for them to find it and read your posts. For one, Google’s mobile search algorithm rewards mobile-friendly sites and punishes ones that aren’t optimized for mobile. So, people will struggle to find your blog when searching for your keywords on mobile devices. As a result, you need to create a mobile-friendly web design to ensure you get all the mobile traffic flowing to your blog as well as traffic from desktop users.
Guest Posts
Guest posts are regularly used throughout the blogging world and for a good reason. They’re proven to bring success in various different ways and help boost the traffic figures on your blog. As per GuestPostTracker.com, all the big bloggers have been using guest posts for a while to help their sites grow. With guest posts, there are two clear ways you can use them to your advantage. The first of which is to seek out other blogs and offer to write guest posts for them. Why would you do this? Well, it helps get your name onto bigger sites with wider audiences who will read your content and visit your site afterward. Also, by posting on other blogs, you can build links back to your site, which enhances its SEO. Secondly, you can get people to write guest posts on your site. Why? Because it means you can keep producing regular content that helps attract regular visitors and drives your traffic up. Either way, guest posts will bring in more traffic on a regular basis.
Incredible, Consistent, Content
Finally, one of the main ways you can drive traffic to your blog is by creating incredible content, consistently. Great content keeps old visitors coming back for more, and also inspires them to link the posts to other people too. As a result, your traffic grows and grows as more people read your posts and love what they’re seeing. This means more people keep returning, and more people link to others – and the cycle continues. You’ll never have a successful blog full of consistent traffic if your content is poor. There are loads of tips on sites like quicksprout.com that can help you write better and more engaging content to keep your blog alive.
The brilliant thing about these tips is that you don’t have to spend any money implementing them. You can make your site mobile-friendly for free, you can use guest posts for free, and you can create good content for free too!
Nicole,
Thank you for this great information. As a new blogger every SINGLE piece of information is so valuable to me, but sometimes I struggle under information overload. This was just the direction i need to be pointed in.
Question: what is the best way to find blogs to write for or find guest bloggers for your blog? There are so many blogs out there, I find it difficult to know where to begin.
Thanks again for a really great article!
