Five Ways To Get Traffic To A Blog
| How to get traffic to a blog is always one of the secrets bloggers want to know. Fact: Bloggers need traffic to make money. There are thousands of posts written on the subject so I won't regurgitate what everyone else has already written. Instead today I'm going to show you five places that have sent me a fair amount of referrals for one of my celebrity blogs. (I don't get any commission etc. for recommending these!) I'm not saying these will definitely work for you. What I will do, however, is to show you the proof that what I'm saying isn't purely theoretical. It's what I have experienced and has worked for me - I can't really say or guarantee any more than this.  The chart above shows my twenty-three highest referrers to Celebrity Insider - Photos & News. The entries circled in green are the ones I want to show you. These circled entries are from five websites and between them, as you can see for yourself, they have sent Celebrity Insider 42,660 referrals. Actually they have sent a lot more than this but I want to just show the above so that I don't have to bore you with lots of lists. The five websites, and the number of referrals are: (1) Buzzfeed - 23579 referrals (2) Zimbio - 10634 referrals (3) Wikipedia - 5507 referrals (4) Mahalo - 1531 referrals (5) MyBlogLog - 1409 referrals I'm not going to add a lot more to this post as everything is self evident. But I will mention Wikipedia as this isn't really considered a source of hits by most bloggers. What I've managed to do is to get my celebrity blog listed as a source of information for various celebrities. This gives me a free link on a very high traffic and well thought of website. I'll also mention MyBlogLog as a lot of people don't seem to see the point of the site. However, as members current blog posts are all entered, there's a good chance that other members may click on them. Plus your blog posts may also at times appear on Google search pages, with the MyBlogLog URL - but clickers in most cases will then go to the actual blog. I won't go on any more as all the information is there for you to use if you wish. All I can say is that these five websites have made me money. If you think that even if only 0.5% of these had clicked on any of my ads that would be 2133 chances of making money. If 1% clicked that would be 4266 opportunities to make money and if 2% had clicked .... As I keep saying some traffic will make some money but lots of traffic will make lots of money. Good luck, Mike.
