Add These Powerful Traffic Strategies
To Increase Blog Traffic And Build Your
Authority Status And Email Opt-In List

OK. Let’s start with an axiomatic truth in terms of traffic and the Internet:

You must have an extensive variety of traffic sources or you run the very real risk of adverse developments made by powerful interests that suddenly dry your traffic flow up to a mere trickle.

Obviously, this serious risk includes updates by Google and advertising and promotional decisions by Facebook.

So I have included in this collection of extraordinary blog traffic posts from 2016 a broad diversity of strategies to increase website traffic.

There are no traffic problems you might have that do not have a solution. Find, study, and perfect traffic strategies below that YOU are comfortable with and then TAKE ACTION!

The first four posts listed involve diverse techniques and appear in alphabetical order according to author.

The remaining eight posts all fundamentally involve social media and also appear alphabetically according to author name.

OK. Let’s go!

1. Brian Dean’s

   77 Resources That’ll Get You More Traffic Than Naked Pictures of Kim Kardashian

   This post illustrates the value of a strong, provocative headline.

   The 77 resources are actually blog posts and it was quite an effort to go through them all, but I identified a few gems:

   ==>> #9 Learn how to drive insane traffic on Reddit from a lazy ass stoner.

   Check out the fast paced 13-minute video on YouTube that’s very precise and informative.

   ==>> #13 Join an existing story to go viral (and maybe even get featured on Hacker News.)

   64 Of The Best Free SEO Tools To Increase Search Traffic

   I found multiple free SEO tools that excited me:

   ==>> #4 Google Search Console

   I’m ashamed to admit that I have seldom used this tool, which used to be known as Google Webmaster tools.

   The search analytics are so powerful that you would have to be crazy (ok, I’m a little crazy, lol) not to use them.

   Highly recommended!

   ==>> #8 Open Link Profiler

   Provides everything you need to know about your own backlink profile.

   But you can also use it on your successful competitors (enough said).

   ==>> #9 Rank Cracker

   Free, powerful, awesome software (benefit from your competitors’ backlinks!!).

   ==>> #12 WikiGrabber

   Strong software to enable you to benefit from all those dead, broken Wikipedia Links and Citations.

   ==>> #21 Seed Keywords

   Tremendous software that enables you to determine precisely the long tail keywords people in the real world actually use when searching for something.

   This tool is one of those secret assets that make you powerful and take you to the next level. Must addition to your traffic marketing arsenal.

 

 



 

Social Media Traffic Strategies


 
5. Chelsea Baldwin’s
   How to Get More Traffic from Every Post by Republishing on Medium

   An awesome post. My suggestion is to plan a series of posts (could be republishing quality old posts) on Medium around a narrowly focused theme.

   Because, with a limited focus it is easier to build your authority status and get more shares, likes and retweets.

 

6. Chrystie’s
   StumbleUpon: The Ultimate Guide to Driving Massive Traffic to Your Blog

   Without a doubt StumbleUpon can generate tremendous traffic to your site. Be aware, though, that your “time on site” number (as measured by Alexa) will go down.

   This trade off is OK if you have a process in place to capture your visitors name and email address.

   Refer to item #2 in Neil Patel’s above post

   By using only her first name, the author, Chrystie, weakens her personal brand.

 

7. Elizabeth’s
   How to Score Thousands of Blog Pageviews Using Flipboard

   .
   Flipboard and Pinterest are my personal top two priorities in 2017.

   They are tremendous traffic sources when utilized properly.

   I make the same observation here about a weak personal brand as above.

 

8. Matthew Brewin’s
   Top 10 Posts On How To Drive Traffic With Pinterest in 2016

   ==>> #3 8 Ways to Skyrocket your Pinterest Growth

   This post recommends signing up for Tailwind which is a paid app.

   But I discovered that the free trial has no time limit. I signed up. Check it out!

   ==>> #9 12 Ways To Get More Pinterest Followers

   Some of these methods are totally new to me (not aware of the “profile widget”).
