Get blog readers for your blog

Your blog is up and running, you have posted some good quality content to it just to end up with zero traffic. Why aren’t anyone reading these amazing blog posts?, you may ask.

The reason that you do not get any traffic is possibly that noone knows that your blog exists, yet.

There are a lot of ways to attract traffic to your blog, I will mention the main sources now and document each source much more when I have done proper research.

Google
Google is a good source of traffic, in my last post I mentioned google.
I will also give a more in-depth explanation of Google after a while of trying and testing to see which techniques that actually proves effective.

Forums or communities
By posting quality posts to forums or communities, you will eventually gain frequent readers from the URL in your signature. This is also a good way to get in contact with interesting people within your niche, to learn and share wisdom/links/work.

Get linked with other blogs
When you link to another blog, you can be sure that the owner will take a note of it.
You should try to target the blogs that are in the same size as yours, just remember that Microsoft once was a small company.
This is a very good way to build a good fundament for your blog, and also to get a personal network.
Remember that they need the links just as much as you do!

If anyone of you look at this blog as a good choice for exchanging links with, please contact me!

Be friendly
Being friendly with other people in your niche is probably one of the best ways to get readers and links.
If you can offer help in any subject (for example PHP coding), you will usually get at least backlink for the work.
This is also a good way to build your contact network, which is a good thing to have when choosing this path!

Just follow the road you are taking, get off the slow sidetracks and never look back!
