Getting Traffic and Building Realtionships


Most of us never have enough blog traffic. We want more, and more, and more  visitors!



One way  is to look at realtionships. Engage and build relationships.

Reply to Comments.
Unless you get hundreds of comments per day there’s no reason you can’t do this. Even if it’s to say “thank you, come again!” People who comment are more interested in building meaningful relationships; in a way, through commenting, they already have.

Visit Commenters’ Sites. Most people leave a link when they comment. Click on it. Visit their blog and see what’s there. You never know what you’ll find.

Email People a Thank You. If you see real possibilities for extending the relationship between blog writer and reader, email the person a thank you. Ask questions and extend the discussion.

Track The Most Popular Content. What are the most popular posts on your blog? And how did people get to them? Answer those two questions and you start to paint a picture of what people are looking for. Give them more of what they’re looking for and new and old readers alike will become more engaged. I’ve used Google Analytics for awhile and just started using 103bees (which has some interesting reports and metrics.)

Participate in Online Communities. The further you reach beyond your blog, the more potential you have to connect with people. It’s a pro-active versus passive approach to building your blog community. Comment on other people’s blogs. Join MyBlogLog.

Your blog community will grow 1 person at a time.
Your network of meaningful relationships will grow as well.
