Traffic is essential to the success of every webmaster and blogger. No matter how great your articles is, it still needs to be read in fact it is traffic which makes this possible. This post will be listing 101 ways where you can traffic to your blog.

By driving traffic doesn't mean just getting ultimately more visitors. Before you start with your drive traffic campaign, be sure to set your goals. For example, if you are building traffic for the consumer website, you need to deal with demographics. Getting those visitors, who doesn't have purchasing power is waste of time and resource. Similarly, on blogs, if you are not getting targeted traffic from search engines or from referral sites, your conversion rate and CTR will undoubtedly be too low.

So let's focus on my big set of traffic driving formula for your blog.

1. Write quality Posts:

This can be the first tip which anyone would share with you. A Quality blog comes with quality content. Write well researched and detailed information.

2. Comment on other blogs:

Needless to say, commenting helps in many ways. Free Backlinks and also for personal branding. Follow one thumb rule: Comment only when you have some value to add, else if you like the post and desire to show your appreciation, rather than just saying "nice post", like or share that post.

3. Guest post on other blogs.:

With article submission directory value decreasing, it's always a good idea to start guest posting. With a clever guest post campaign, it is possible to build HQ backlinks and in addition increase your credibility. For a good Moz rank, it is important to get high backlink and to your internal pages and now homepage alone.

4. Optimize your blog for search engines.:

Alright, I know SEO scares you but trust me it isn't a rocket science. It's like some good practice that everyone should follow.
