How to Drive Traffic With a Wordpress Blog

[Leads of Scale]

Have used nearly every other method to drive traffic to landing pages except for blogging. Is it worth the time and effort?

[P.O.S.]

Yes it is Just make sure you will be dedicated to updating it, and do SEO work on it too. Kinda adds more work but it's worth it. You can even place adsense on it or join affiliate programs for some extra $$$.

Why dont you give a short list of what you have done? And we can go from there. Because I do not want to cover the same material twice.

And what is your site about?

Wonderful information Very good flow of discussion

It depends on how you promote your blog. A very good start is to summarize what have you'vde done lately and we'll analyze it. you can remove the 'http' or 'www' if you would like to share your blog to us.

You can submit your blog in social bookmarking sites and promote it also in social network sites.

Blogging, at least in my field, is an amazing way to drive traffic to landing pages. The catch is that just like with any tool you use to drive traffic to a landing page, you must know where your blog traffic is coming from, what they are looking for and have a realistic idea of what their motivations are so that you can customize your landing pages to speak to those variables. This being said blogging does not always drive highly targeted traffic to your landing pages since the traffic to your posts may not have arrived to your page by searching for keywords you anticipated.

This can mean that your landing pages may appear way less effective than say a targeted PPC campaign would. Long story short don't try to compare your results from blogging to your other tools as it is not an apples to apples comparison, but instead compare it against itself over time. If done correctly I truly believe it is well worth the time due to the fact it can generate tremendous organic traffic to your pages and thus decrease your market spend.

Best of luck!

Try to post your blog links on social book marking or comment posting like that.

There are tons of ways how one can bring traffic to their sites by creating blogs.
1. blog about the features of the site- if you would create a nice review or article about the site that you have, it could be a nice window from traffic that can get interested with what your site has to offer. you can also include special promos or discounts or any special event that is happening in your site in your blog post.

2. link your site in your blog - you can place a link of your site in your blog and label it something like "related website" or "best places to visit" and surely you will get a hit or two out of it.
- you can also place keywords on those links to help them gain more backlinks and increase its position in search engines.
- blogs and blog posts rank in search engines as well that is why having a link or two in the blog post will increase the chances of getting a visitor.
