Many bloggers often ask how to increase blog traffic, which is essential to online success. But just as you may be wondering, how can this be done? It’s simple. There are only three key steps you must work on: content production, networking, and promotion. Once you learn the main three, you can remember to integrate them into your daily blogging routine. So let’s delve in a little further and discover how you can reach your true online potential.

1. Content Production:

a) Write how-to’s, lists, guides, tutorials, and resource compilations
b) Set out to publish one linkbait/pillar article per week
c) Quality over quantity: don’t post every single day
d) Guest post for other bloggers

2. Networking:

a) Respond to all your emails and questions received
b) Comment on other blogs
c) Link to other bloggers in your niche
d) Use social networking: Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, etc.

3. Promotion:

a) Submit your content to social media sites
b) Tell others in your network about articles you’ve published
c) Post in online forums and groups and reference your content
d) Link to your guest posts and get your name out there
Increasing blog traffic certainly isn’t difficult, and generally tends to just require a push in the right direction. After you’ve begun promoting your blog and gotten it off the ground or overcome your recent traffic plateau, much of the work begins to happen for you. Good luck!

When it comes to blogging, the phrase “birds of a feather, flock together” rings very true. Those that visit your blog and read your articles consistently likely care about many of the same things you care about. Whether it’s technology, parenting, current events, arts/crafts, or some other topic, your readers often find your blog through searches and recommendations of like-minded people on social networks.
So, if you’re struggling with your next article idea or you’re looking for ways to increase traffic to your blog via long-term searches, just take a moment and think about the things your are passionate about and how you have solved a problem in a way that might be useful to your readers. The same steps that you are going through are likely going to be important (and probably helpful) to you visitors.
For instance, the other day I wanted to view Twitter.com on my iPad, but Safari kept sending me to the Twitter mobile site, which was NOT the view I wanted. I wanted to see the standard desktop view that visitors see when they are visiting the site from their PC. After about 20 minutes of trying to figure out how to switch, I finally resolved it in a very unconventional way and ended up writing a blog post about the challenge of switching between the Twitter desktop view and the mobile view.
Guess what…others are experiencing the same issue and their searches from Google have made that post one of the most popular posts on my blog over the last few weeks. The result? My article helped others who immediately found the answer via Twitter, but also held long-term benefit as the search engines picked it up and organic SEO drove traffic from those searching Google and Bing.
Another of the most popular post on my blog over the last few weeks, however, came from my experience with the Apple iPad iOS 5 upgrade. The update has be nothing short of miserable, with my iPad 1 crashing every day. Because I was so frustrated with the crashes and because I couldn’t find any mention of Apple acknowledging or working to resolve the issue, I wrote a blog post warning iPad 1 owners to hold off on the iOS 5 update until a more stable version of the OS was released.
As a result of the article, though, many of my friends, family, and co-workers have thanked me for alerting them to the issue before they upgraded. Again, a situation where the readers of my blog benefited from the challenge I was feeling in real life.
So, next time you have writers block and are looking for a new article idea, just take a few moments to think about how you solve the problems in your personal life and find a way to share those experiences with your readers. Not only will they benefit from your experiences, they’ll probably thank you with a comment with their shared experience. The fact that others are likely searching for the solution will help your organic SEO and bring in readers. It’s a win-win situation. You help others by blogging good content that solves a problem, they increase traffic to your article!
What blog post have you written that has really helped your readers? Let me know and feel free to post a link to it in a comment. I’d love to see examples from a broad range of different topics/stories.

 Most of the newbie bloggers quit their blogging just because they don’t see any traffic from their blog(s). Even who have started their blogging career long time ago don’t see much improvisation in their traffic.

Facebook: Join in Groups.. Promote yourself out there.. BTW facebook alone is giving me 100+ leads daily (even without promoting everyday!). Ammar Ali is also getting huge traffic from Facebook . So don’t neglect bringing Facebook traffic to your blog.
You may find it difficult in the beginning but when you start promoting others content and when you get to know each other on Facebook, it becomes very easy!

4. Spend time on writing detailed articles.

Never assume that you can bring quality traffic without much efforts.
You need to differentiate yourself with others to become successful. It takes time to create content, I agree but you shouldn’t spend whole time creating only normal or average 600 words posts.
Spend time to create great content.
Write detailed posts with 1000 or 1500+ words once in a while. If you’re not a full time blogger like me, at least try to create detailed posts once or twice a month.
So that you can grab others attention and you can show your blogging expertise to your readers.
It’s really important for you to create killer articles regularly to survive in blogosphere. This can bring your quality traffic from other sites or search engines.

4. Don’t forget SEO

Most people say forget about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) when you’re just starting out.

I think that’s the dumbest suggestion!

You need to focus on what keywords to use and how much keyword density you should maintain in your content to get search engine traffic to your blog.
It’s extremely important to bring organic (search engine) traffic to your blog. Because it’s free and highly effective!
Make sure that you’re not keyword stuffing your content. It makes your readers hard to digest what you’re saying in your articles.
And do proper keyword analysis before you’re writing the articles. Then embed them into your posts. If you’re a beginner then this is enough! Don’t go beyond, you’ll better understand about SEO when you’re spending more time on blogging.

Conclusion:

Always try to retweet and promote your fellow bloggers before asking them to promote your content. This can make others to promote your content sooner or later and you will have high chances of getting their attention if they find it useful. 
I dint recommend guest blogging here in this post. Major reason is without having any online reputation you can’t cope up with other bloggers to get accepted your guest posts. When they reject you, you’ll feel down to submit another guest post to them.
So, focus on building a network by blog commenting, writing great stuff and social media networking using above tips.
