Look no further, this post  will show you everything you wanted to know about generating traffic , but don’ t know how to start.

But for now let’s talk about getting people to land on your blog.

Believe it or not,  a lot of bloggers out there think traffic is nothing but hits, page views, bounce rate,etc.; they’re looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – there’s a breathing human being in front of the computer, with probably the same problems, wants and needs as you.

Here’s a tip: If you know the objective of your blog and have given a real thought on whom do you want to benefits from it, traffic generating will be a piece of cake for you.

The truth is, a lot of bloggers though traffic generation is rocket-science.
When you master the basics, blog traffic generating turns into a very simple task.

Go and check the pro bloggers in your niche.  Do you think they’re hunting for traffic? Not at all, they make traffic come to them. No need for a magic formula here.

A lot bloggers are trying too hard for their traffic; they’re publishing articles and writing blog posts every day;  tweaking with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.

Have you heard the words” multi-level marketing”?

Multi-level marketing or MLM is a marketing strategy wherein the top leader generate sales by using the power of his sales forces or his down line (recruits).  This is called the power of leveraging!

You  should recognize the true power of leveraging in blogging- taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.

If you want to be counted among the pro bloggers, read the tips below on how to generate traffic like a pro. Remember the saying, “if you can’t beat them, join them.”

Here’s The Steps How To Use The Power of Leveraging Blogging

Step #1 – think BIG – keep your focus [answer these questions: who's your ideal client? who are you really talking to?]

Step #2 - run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your niche industry

Step #3 – avoid paying for advertising unless you have your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know the exact click and lead value of your visitor]

If you have stats proving you that for each blog visitor, you’re making $1 a month on average, then you probably could afford to pay 50 cents a visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit. Wow!

Sometimes you come up with a great blog story. You know it will drive you a lot of traffic but you have a problem. No one knows about your great blog post.

In order to get maximum attention you need to spread the word around. This is where the social / bookmark networks come handy.

Bill Gate is using the technology. Mircosoft is taking advantage of this new marketing strategy. What about you? Are you harnessing the power of social networks?

Social Network Logos

What is a social / bookmark network?

It’s a place where you can share your stories or blogs and network or bookmarks with others. Take Digg and StumbleUpon for example. You submit your blog story to the network, allowing other members to vote and comment on it. More popular stories that receive a certain number of votes get promoted to the front page. Most social networks are different. Some even allow you to export a large number of bookmarks straight from your browser.

Why social networks?

1) Social networks get a lot of traffic due to their nature. Users often return to read the latest stories and share their own.

2) Readers are usually only one click away from your blog. A popular submission can bring you thousands of daily visitors.

3) Most social networks are free and take seconds to register and submit your first entry.

4) You will be surprised when you see the amount of other websites that use feeds from various social networks. A good story can spread across the network like wild fire.

5) If your story will not get to the front page you can always submit another one. In most cases there is no limit on the amount of stories you can submit.

6) Most social networks are search engine friendly. Not only your story will be picked up by major search engines in no time, in most cases you will also get a reciprocal link. Some social networks have very good google page rank (PR)

Tips and tricks:

1) An interesting, catchy story is often a must. Your main target is to get promoted to the front page by getting enough votes. You need to convince other readers to vote for your story. Strange, shocking and controversial stories often do well.

2) You can always ask your friends to join and vote for you in order to get more votes. Don’t create fake accounts because you will simply get banned.

Secret tip: Form an alliance with other bloggers and vote for each other’s work.

3) The more stories you submit the better. If you want a steady flow of traffic you will need a steady flow of submissions.

4) Just enjoy your experience. I certainly find it more interesting compared to other methods of blog promotion, such as link development.

Social networking sites are useful, aside for their marketing potential,  but as a way of keeping in touch not just with your friends but with your universe of friends.

There are a lot of various social networks around. Simple search on google should do the trick.

Let’s admit it, Entrecard is now the “currency” of most bloggers. It’s being traded like a real currency. Most of the online contest are also using EC as their prizes.

Entrecard (EC) is first and foremost a free blogging network that truly brings visitors to your blog.  You can earn EC credits which allows you to display an ad of your blog on other blog sites within the community either by “dropping” or clicking the EC “drop” button.

The formula is More EC drop = more visits = more credits = more friends = more links = more traffic!

The  more traffic your blog site is making, the more Mr. Google and Ms. Alexa will love your site. The more adorable  your looks to them, the more you’ll get candies too!

Alright, not the sweet candy but the potential moneys your site can generate. Money? of course! How? Just browse around this blog site and you’ll find the treasures that I’m telling you.

Let’s go back to our the topic. Yes, EC can generate a lot traffic for your site BUT it can cost you money too and this is one of the bad things of Entrecard (EC). How? It happens when a dropper (someone who clicks on the EC “drop” button) clickk on  the button and leave your blog or website right away.

These droppers are what we call “Power Dropper”. They visit blogs solely for the sake of dropping EC cards in order to earn 300 credits in the shortest possible amount of time.  These power droppers can increase your bounce rate which can COST YOU MONEY.

The bounce rate is defined as the percentage of visitors who turn around at the entry page and immediately leave the site. Such visitors “bounce” out and never see additional pages.

With high bounce rate, the traffic that EC droppers gave on you is useless. Google does punish for a high bounce rate, and droppers contribute to a high bounce rate. This is the problem with Entrecard, all this “card dropping” just to get the same crappy traffic back is a waste of time.

BUT, there is still hope. Watch for my next topic on how to best use EC for your benefits.
