An important but often overlooked part of search engine optimization (SEO) for bloggers is link building. However, there are so many disreputable SEO companies
that rely on spam techniques for link building, that the practice of
getting quality backlinks doesn't get the credit it deserves. Quality
inbound links can increase direct, indirect, and search traffic to your
blog through social sharing and organic search. Use the 10 link building
tips below to get backlinks to your blog that are high quality and will
increase traffic to your blog.

10 Proven Ways to Generate Website Traffic
There are hundreds of ways to generate website traffic, but in this article, I want to cover some of the fundamental tactics.
These are ways that I’ve used in my business, and I know from personal experience that they work.
In the end, this is about building a blog and business that will be with you for years to come.
This is not about quick-fix strategies that get slapped by Google after a few months.
So let’s jump right into the first way, shall we?
1. Guest Blogging
The absolute first one for any blog is to do guest blogging, which means to write articles for other blogs and websites in exchange for links back to your site.
This is the tactic I’ve used to build my blog up to thousands of subscribers. I’ve built a business around writing for others.
To find guest blogging opportunities either check out the blogs you’re already reading, or go to your favorite search engine and type in: “niche + “write for us””
2. Forums
The next way to generate targeted website traffic is forums.
find big forums in your niche, and start contributing. Don’t promote your own website. Just provide value and be helpful.
So how do people find your site?
You put a link and a call to action in your signature, which is the part below all of your posts, just like an email signature.
Some forums don’t allow signatures, so make sure the forum you’re registering for does.
3. Blog Commenting
Then we have blog commenting.
Blog commenting isn’t the best way to generate website traffic, but it still works in getting some traffic to your site.
A big advantage of blog commenting is that it helps you connect with the site owner. And if you comment on dozens of blogs, people will see you everywhere, and they’ll get curious.
4. Article Marketing
Article marketing is something I’ve used to build up multiple passive income streams throughout the years.
I now prefer guest blogging, because it’s easier, but if you’re not ready to write for blogs with thousands of readers, I suggest you look at article marketing.
When I do article marketing, I only write for EzineArticles.com. I don’t bother submitting to hundreds of directories, because EzineArticles gives me the best bang for my time.
5. Interviews
When your blog starts growing, and especially if you can show people that you know what you’re talking about, you will get interviewed.
Interviews are great for expanding your reach and building links to your blog.
This tactic is more for bloggers who already have a following. But it can work for beginners if you’ve carved out your niche well.
6. Podcast
Starting your own podcast is a great way to expand your reach. I just started mine not too long ago, and the response has been fantastic.
There are millions of blogs competing against each other, but only a few hundred thousand podcasts at the time I write this.
And depending on which market you’re in, the numbers will vary.
Conducting a podcast is scary for most people, so they don’t do it. If you can push your comfort zone and do things other do not, you will stand out.
And you will generate traffic to your blog.
7. Video Tutorials
If you want to take things even further, you can start creating videos.
You don’t have to be in front of the camera. You could do PowerPoint, or Keynote, presentations and use software that records your screen, such as Camtasia for PC or Screenflow for Mac.
You could even repurpose your podcast into video, as long as you put in some slides or visuals to keep people interested.
8. Free Course
Another great way to generate website traffic is to create a free course.
Yes, a course that you give away. Make sure you do some keyword research before you create it. Pick a keyword you can rank for and then use the keyword in the title of your free course.
This will help you rank when people link to your course. The goal is to make the course so good that people want to spread it.
9. Proper SEO
You can’t forget proper SEO. I’m talking about both on-site and off-site.
Use keywords that your market uses. Pick ones that you can compete for when you write articles, create podcasts, and upload videos.
Google has made a lot of changes, but SEO is not dead. Google wants to rank good content, so help them find yours.
And remember to make it easy for the search engines. Use keywords that are relevant, and then get people to share your content.
10. Hard Work
Most people look for quick-fix strategies when it comes to generating more traffic to their website or blog.
But if there’s anything I’ve learned throughout the years of running an online business, it’s that this takes hard work.
And the more willing you are to put in the work, the more targeted website traffic you will generate.
I am living proof of this. I’ve never succeeded with the latest tactic. Instead I’ve slowly built up my online business.
And today I can do what I want, when I want and from where I want. I have the freedom I want. And I have control over my time.
Wrap Up
Focus on working hard instead of looking for a quick-fix, because that’s when you’ll start seeing real results with your blog and your business.
One of the big ones I left out of this article was social media, because I haven’t focused a lot of my efforts on it. Many of my articles have gone viral, but I still haven’t found a formula that guarantees results.
All I can say is to produce great content, work hard, and keep taking action.
If you do those three things, you will go far.

Pinterest Delivers More Traffic than Yahoo – How to Leverage the News
Pinterest, the online pinboard that’s all the rage with the crafty
set, has officially become a force to be reckoned with, in the traffic
department. According to a report
that appeared on Search Engine Land Sept. 6, 2012, Shareaholic announced
that its stats reveal Pinterest has jumped ahead of Yahoo’s organic
search listings for referrals to publishers’ websites. This is exciting
news – it means that those who aren’t on board with the social network
would do well to jump on the gravy train before it leaves the station.
Shareaholic is a service that provides free social sharing widgets, tools, and buttons for webmasters. The service boasts more than 200,000 publishers, and the data it aggregates is a killer window into the world of Internet user behavior. If Pinterest is a frontrunner for traffic generation, plugging in and using the platform for some of your more visually appealing content may just give you the traffic spike your website so desperately needs.
Pinterest Referrals Versus Referrals from Other Top Sources
In the post, Shareaholic announced that Pinterest was the fourth biggest traffic-delivering website in August for publishers using the service’s tools. Here’s the official word from the post:
Image 1:
Of course, Google ranked solidly in first place with direct traffic distantly following the search giant. Facebook came in at third place. However, Yahoo placed fifth – Pinterest managed to pass the struggling search engine and beat out Bing. Now that’s nothing to sniff at!
Here’s another noteworthy tidbit from the post. Referral figures from the search engines Yahoo and Bing are down from the beginning of 2012. Referral traffic from Pinterest, however, is markedly up for the year. Remember, though, that this data is based solely upon information from roughly 200,000 sites that use Shareaholic tools, so the information is only a small piece of the overall puzzle. The info does serve as a great cross-section of Web trends, so the numbers definitely command some serious attention.
Interestingly, marketing firms are slow to warm up to the idea of using Pinterest to spread the word about clients’ websites and brands. According to a recent post published right here on SiteProNews:
Image 2:
It stands to reason that webmasters and firms alike stand to gain quite a bit by leveraging Pinterest to promote their content and drive traffic to their websites. That said, let’s look at the basics for getting started with Pinterest.
How to Use Pinterest to Drive Traffic to Your Website
Pinterest works for marketing, bottom line. However, if you want to maximize your ROI, consider these best practices should you decide to give it a whirl. First, only pin the cream of the crop. That is, start your experiment by selecting the single best post your site or blog has to offer. Don’t just start pinning any and everything you write just for the sake of it. That’s a wonderful way to get completely ignored by annoyed Pinterest users.
Second, ensure that there’s an audience for the topic of your post on Pinterest. To do this, search for variations of the keyword that you’re targeting on Pinterest to find out what people are pinning. Don’t conduct your research haphazardly – seriously take your time to explore and dedicate a few hours to get a true feel for the pulse of your niche on Pinterest. Make a list of topics, pins, and pinboards that are the most popular and strive to make your content similar (yet slightly better and more relevant) for your audience.
Once you have the first pin under your belt, it’s time to create a few pinboards. When you’re setting up your boards, make sure to organize them in a way that makes sense for the people in your niche. Create separate boards for starkly different concepts, subjects, or ideas. People who are hunting for specific things will be more likely to click through to your site if something catches their eye on a highly targeted board you’ve created, so don’t forget to add a descriptive cover image and use keywords on every pin. This approach will enable you to reach every possible segment of your potential audience.
Don’t just create a few pinboards then log out and call it a day. There’s quite a bit more work entailed if you want to effectively drive traffic to your website using Pinterest, and the name of the game is community involvement. For starters, add “Pin It” buttons to your social sharing buttons on your website. This will encourage active Pinterest users to pin things they like from your website with one-click ease.
The most important part of community involvement is (drumroll, please)… actually involving yourself in the community. This is where all that research we first talked about comes in. When you discover what people in your niche are pinning, that’s the time to start following them. Repin things they pin. Comment on things that you like. Get yourself on their radar, and the domino effect will happen naturally.
Such is the nature of the Internet. We live in the age of the golden rule – give and you shall receive. The more you interact and promote others’ pins, the more others will return the favor. It’s true of Pinterest, just like it’s true of Twitter, Facebook, blog commenting, and pretty much any other online interaction. Basic advice? Yes, but tragically overlooked. Give and you’ll have success driving traffic to your website with Pinterest.
One problem: all this is a huge time suck, and time is the single greatest resource you have. The trick is to balance all that precious time you’re spending, developing your website with your varied social activities and your other online marketing efforts. You must also evaluate your traffic sources constantly to determine whether the ROI is truly worth the cost.
Pinterest demands time to pull traffic. Is it a task worth delegating? Eventually, yes, if you begin seeing enough website traffic from Pinterest referrals to justify the cost.

The Balancing Act of Making Everyone Happy With Your Website
When you create a website, you're trying to make several different audiences happy. You've got searchers coming in from the search engines, you want those search engines to rank you well, and you've got past and prospective clients. Referral partners are also out there looking at your site and sending business your way. Each different audience for your website has its own requirements, different things it's looking for, and unique needs.
You have to think about each audience you're trying to appeal to as you design and develop the different parts of your site. That includes navigation style, types of pages, text on those pages, design, coding, offers, and calls to action. You have to make sure that each of these elements balances all the others—so that there aren't too many pages with not enough content, or that navigation is so complex that it's hard for people to find what they're looking for.
It's easy to focus on one audience's needs over another.
Getting stuck thinking about one element of your site can result in an unbalanced site. And as you try to make your website do more, as you add complexity, it's harder and harder to keep the functions at equilibrium. The more elements your site contains and the more audiences you think about, the more difficult it becomes to keep everyone happy.
Focus on balancing everyone's needs and concerns.
If you focus on one of your audiences over the others, you'll wind up with a website that seems out of balance and doesn't meet some of your audiences' needs. For example, you can focus too heavily on writing your site content to appeal to the search engines and create a site that's so keyword-laden you look a bit crazy.
Instead, try to keep all of your audiences' needs in harmony so that everyone has a good experience and is impressed by your site instead of wondering what's wrong with it.
When you write, design, and code your site, think about:
1. Who is visiting it? Where are your clients coming from? Search engines bring searchers to your site. Past clients look you up for new projects or needs. There are potential customers who have been referred to you. And those who have met you at networking events or seen your booth at a trade show. Each of these audiences has different levels of knowledge about you and different issues that they want to address.
2. What do they want to know? Each audience has different needs, problems, and concerns. The search engines want to know what your site's all about, and they want to see your keywords. Past clients want contact information and to see if you can help them with their new need. Potential clients want to know if you can solve their problem, and they want to know if you're trustworthy and likeable. People who have already met you want to get more information on your services and find out what's next in the process of working with you. Think about why people are coming to your site and how you can help them along.
3. What you want your website to do for your business? Your website should be more than just pretty. It should do a job (or several jobs) for your business. Think about how it can most benefit your business—whether by bringing in new clients, getting noticed by the search engines, sharing your thoughts with the world through articles, helping you get the media's attention, or maybe some other function entirely. Whatever job your website must do, make sure that everything you put on it works towards making that happen.
4. Are you being accidentally contrary? Do any of the things you've put on your site for one audience contradict what you've written for another? You want to make sure that your site always makes sense, no matter who's reading it—or how much of the site they read. You also want your site to mesh with your printed marketing pieces, phone conversations, and the delivery of your products or services to ensure that your customers stay happy.
If you think about these 4 things as you're developing your website, you'll create one that keeps all of your audiences happy. The site will keep you happy in the long run, and you'll get more return on your investment in it as well.
