Having a blog and getting visitors There can be various ways in order to get visitors or traffic to your bog site, but you have to decide what sort of visitors you want, because some ways of getting visitors as in traffic exchange systems will not actually benefit your blog because whilst it's generally free the visitors will come and go without doing anything.
The first thing you can do is to make sure that what ever postings you make, the postings targets relevant keywords.
This is called SEO, actually a small part of SEO, and by doing this you will be making your blog more search engine friendly and raising your chances of getting more search engine traffic.
If you want visitors to come and click on ads and links this is the best sort of traffic.
Secondly you can comment on other blogs and forums which write on similar topics.
Usually you can put a link along with your name and you will pick up traffic from visitors who are already interested in what you write about because they are already reading someone else's blog on the subject.
Thirdly you can also try writing unique articles and posting them on various article sites.
The benefit of which is that you can put links back to your blog in them and so widening the net when coming to attract visitors.
The best way you can go about getting visitors is seeing if another popular blog within your niche will accept a guest post from you.
This is proven to generate a lot of traffic and if they like what they find on your blog the chances are they will return.
What you do need to think about is that when someone does come to your blog they find quality, interesting content which will not only make them want to stay but also to return and recommend your blog to friends.
If what you write about is boring, or too similar to what other sites offer then the chances are they won't hang around.
And finally generating visitors is something you just have to keep working at day after day and to have patience because things won't change over night.
The good news is that there does come a point where your visitors will start generating other visitors for you by linking to your posts and then you can almost allow traffic to come naturally instead of chasing it.
