GLOBAL DIGITAL TIMES | How do you increase or increase the number of visitors/traffic to your personal website/blog for free and quickly so that income from your website/blog increases?
We can get traffic quickly and for free, but we can't get both at the same time, especially if the website/blog is relatively new and targets a high level of keyword competition.
If we want to get free traffic, we automatically have to work hard to get it from 1 month or even up to 1 year of effort, depending on the niche, competition and our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) skills.
Or...
Want to get a lot of visitors quickly but have to be willing to pay hundreds of thousands to millions of rupiah.
Select which one?
For the explanation, just go straight to it!
Here are 15 tips and tricks or ways to increase website/blog visitor traffic that can be tried and implemented without using additional software, which have also been proven to be effective to this day:
How to Increase the Number of Website/Blog Visitors
A. How to increase the number of blog visitors for free, but manually & please be patient.
The first method that needs to be done requires more effort because it does not require costs to increase the number of website/blog visitors.
1. Register with the webmaster for each search engine.
There are many search engines, but the most popular are: Google, Bing & Yahoo, Yandex, and Baidu. So, we can register any site with the webmaster, except those that are prohibited.
Registering a site with a webmaster is free and very easy to operate.
Even though Blogger.com platform users are given "special" rights (without submitting they will still be indexed) in indexing by Google, this initial step is taken so that the search engine can quickly index the main page, the latest posts, edited old posts, and re-crawl the page. -our website/blog page. This is also useful for getting organic visitors from search engines.
For how to register a website/blog with a Webmaster, you can read about How to Register and Send URLs to Webmasters on Google and Bing Search Engines .
2. Share each article on social media.
We can use the many social media accounts available, such as: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and others.
But when sharing, never do SPAM activities! It's better if one day, just two articles are shared. Or you can imitate advertisements made by sponsored parties by sharing them on social media.
Don't be embarrassed to share your website/blog even if you still use a free subdomain, such as: blogspot, wordpress, or tumblr. Just ignore it, the important thing is that the topic being shared is very interesting or that many people are looking for. As long as what is shared is not HOAX content, Jajang, Udin Petot, Nana Bedog and topics that trigger division.
Please add a share button at the end of our blog page post, to make it easier for us to carry out sharing activities on many targeted social media.
3. Create a dummy blog or PBN (Private Blog Network)
A dummy blog or PBN is an additional blog owned by one person. The benefit of creating a PBN is "as a boost to the SERP position of the main website/blog because of the links embedded there, like backlinks". That's what he said!
Later, each PBN post can be inserted with a dofollow or nofollow link that leads to the main website/blog. Of course, don't insert too many links to the main website/blog, because it could be considered cheating by search engines. So, to make it look natural, insert the main website/blog link per 15-20 posts and only one link is enough.
If you don't have a budget, you can just use a free blog subdomain, such as: .blogspot, .wordpress, .tumblr, and others.
"However, starting at the beginning of this year, I no longer use PBNs, because now Google and other search engines are starting to realize the rotten nature of creating PBNs by bloggers and internet marketers. This activity will only be fruitless in the future, and can even be accused of being an illegal link, because it is cheating and violates search engine guidelines."
4. Be active in forums.
There are two forms of forums, online and offline.
So, for online ones, all you have to do is look for it on a search engine with the keyword ' online blogger forum '. In order not to be issued unilaterally by the management, please read the TOS or regulations first before you create a thread and comment.
Meanwhile, offline forums are associations of bloggers or internet marketers in each of our respective regions. You can join or join these forums. If you don't have one yet, please become the founder and invite other friends.
The benefit of joining a forum is that you can find friends in the same profession (bloggers). With their help, you can become good at managing your personal website/blog. Until finally your website/blog succeeds in getting lots of visitors and "increasing income" (if blogging for money).
Don't worry, there are many bloggers or internet marketers who are kind enough to help you with website/blog optimization, as long as you don't forget yourself if you are successful .
5. Embed backlinks on websites or blogs with high DA PA.
This activity is not illegal or fraudulent, because in fact many website/blog owners allow other people to insert links into their websites/blogs, such as: guest writing, content placement, and others. Obviously, this is not black hat SEO, but gray hat SEO. LOL!
Getting quality backlinks helps boost the position of content on the SERP, so if our post is on page one or even first position, it's no surprise if our website/blog gets lots of visitors.
Some characteristics of quality backlinks :
- Relevant topic
- The age of the site is old
- Our link is included in the article
- Their site is not subject to penalties from search engines
- And others
You can use free online tools such as MOZ to see the DA (Domain Authority) and PA (Page Authority) scores of other people's websites/blogs.
Unfortunately, what I feel now is that backlinks are not as powerful as they used to be. It's better to create content with relevant keywords based on visitors' interests, rather than busy looking for backlinks. Let the backlinks we get are natural, namely those that other bloggers put on their websites/blogs without us asking them, because our content is of high quality.
6. Write viral content.
Take a look at the Google Trends site, trending social media topics and news on television. You can find lots of ideas and write viral content to share on your personal website/blog.
Of course this won't be so easy, you also need to apply SEO for the content and promotion (via personal social media).
7. Always update posts.
With updates, visitors will like surfing our website/blog. They will look for a new post or another and read it. I liken it to a streaming film site, with the large selection of films presented, they will choose and watch other films. And it wouldn't be surprising if traffic also increased.
8. Update Old Content
Updates are not only about dealing with new content, but updating and upgrading old content is also necessary. For example, when discussing tutorials or evergreens, when the previously presented tutorial article turns out to no longer work, then we have to update the article with a tutorial that is currently working.
Just like this post, which I continue to update, don't ignore content that has been published for a long time. Especially if the content includes Evergreen topics . If previously old content contained keyword stuffing , then it would not be surprising if the content was in the final position or even in the sandbox on search engine pages. Please reopen and fix it now!
And of course, submit it back to the search engine webmaster and share the old content on your social media.
9. Always Update the Google Algorithm
Our website/blog posts today are at the top of the SERP, but could fall or drop drastically in the basic search engine rankings tomorrow or next week. This is because there is an update to the search engine algorithm which does not know when it will be updated. So that our website/blog continues to be at the top, every day or week, please look for and read the latest references regarding updated search engine algorithm news. This applies to all topics.
Why Google's algorithm ? Because Google is the most popular search engine in the world, and sometimes its rules and systems become a mecca for other search engines.
Also read the latest articles from many sites (as reference material) which provide tips & tricks on how to increase website/blog traffic, either quickly or for free.
10. Install Internal Links
Internal links are useful when there is discussion of posts that are similar or related to the initial post when the reader comes. So that visitors also read the posts that we have embedded in the internal link.
On the other hand, crawler bots will also add traffic when the robot successfully enters posts on the internal link.
This internal link can be created automatically using a script, or manually. Example:
<a href="http://www.articleyangsimilar.com">similar articles</a>
11. Site loading access must be fast.
I guarantee you, you will move to another website/blog if my article doesn't appear on your gadget screen.
And the hot news is that Google makes site speed a ranking signal. Which mean; where the faster our website/blog opens, the higher the ranking of our website/blog will be on the Google page.
Some tips for speeding up site loading are, you can compress CSS and parse Javascript. If necessary, delete useless widgets. Don't forget to compress the image size before uploading it to the post.
12. SEO
Learning SEO is easy and difficult, it takes patience to master it. However, even though you have mastered it, future practice may not be the same. Simply put, current SEO techniques may not be suitable for next month.
I say again, that your SEO skills must improve according to the latest search engine regulations and algorithms. However, basically the goal of search engines is to provide the best service to users/visitors so that they can easily obtain valuable, useful and quality information. So site owners must take care of their blogs so that they are user friendly.
Why is SEO important ? Because the site owner wants to get visits, and his business products sell well. So many of them try to optimize their sites to appear in first place in search engines according to target keywords, either by their own efforts or using SEO services.
Actually, numbers 1-11 are some SEO techniques.
13. Turn written content into a video.
Nowadays, many people choose to watch videos rather than read writing. It is not surprising that more and more books in the library or study table are often neglected.
The most high-impact and certainly free platforms currently are YouTube and Instagram. Make your video as interesting and concise as possible, but still full of meaning and knowledge. Share the video on both platforms. Don't forget, also display the blog address in the bio or the same post link in the video description.
The more diligent you are in posting videos and displaying high quality content and images, the more followers you will have. Of course, your channel or account can make money in the future.
B. How to increase the number of visitors to your website/blog quickly, but you have to pay.
The next way to increase the number of visitors to your website/blog requires preparing a budget, because honestly everything has a cost for maximum results.
14. Create a blogger contest/competition
First, determine the type of contest you want. Most existing contests only ask for reviews of websites/blogs or business products. Later there will be two assessment options; 1. SEO (ranking first in the SERP according to the target keyword) and 2. Content quality (free title as long as it still matches the topic).
Second, determine the size of the prize for the winners. Of course the number of prizes is very influential, the bigger the prize, the more people are interested in becoming participants.
Lastly, make the rules of the game. For example, you cannot copy paste, you must follow social media fan pages, share articles, provide links to our site, and other rules. You can copy the contest rules from other sites that are or have already created blogger contests .
Of course, participants will go to our website/blog to look for review material. So, this method is legal and fast to increase the number of website/blog visitors, but of course it is not free. Because there will be costs for the winners and massive promotions.
The good thing is, we will be lucky to get backlinks from participant blogs that have good DA PA.
15. Advertise on Google and Facebook.
Actually, every search engine and social media has advertising services, but the most popular in Indonesia are Google Adwords and Facebook Ads. You can advertise on both websites. You can see the costs when placing an advertisement there.
For method number 15, I have never done it, but I got information from an acquaintance who has used it, he said his blog traffic has increased 3 times more than before.
But remember! With paid traffic, you will lose about 80% of your traffic once your ads stop running. So, it's best if you need to recruit people or teach yourself about this chapter.
"There is nothing instant/fast in getting what we want, unless we are lucky, use magic, and have money."
So, those are 15 ways that you can follow to increase the number of visitors/traffic to your website/blog for free and quickly, because you are grateful that it is still working very well to date. Of course, these tips are still incomplete, you need other information by looking for it on other sites or blogging learning guide books. You can also hire SEO services if you are always busy. Hope it is useful!
