Pinterest can drive you huge traffic [with statistics]

Social Media has become a part of our life. Spending a day or two without logging to Facebook / Twitter is almost impossible now a days. The initial idea of using Social Media to remain in touch with loved ones now has been extended to almost everything from news and updates, marketing, display of one's talent over the web, breaking news, shopping hub and much more. If you own a blog / website / business, you must be aware how important it is these days to have a social media profile and how much it can contribute to your profit.



Amidst the big giants like Facebook , Google+ and Twitter, the online marketers tends to ignore the others. Pinterest is one such platform which we do not care much but let me tell you, if you have some niche specific products / blogs, Pinterest can drive huge traffic to your blog. I have tried Pinterest to drive some traffic to my blog and it has given me some good results.

Before I present you the stats, let me tell you what you need and how to promote your blog there. Pinterest is a platform where you PIN an image to your boards and the board's followers can see it, like it, send to a person or to a mail id and pin it again to their own boards. Now, what's important here is Pinterest gives you an option to pin an image from your blog post's URL, and when someone clicks on that image, he is redirected to the website. This is a traffic for you. Since the majority of Pinterest users are tier 1 countries, you can convert this traffic in some good dollars.

Pinterest niche is somewhat specific to Quotes, Pet lovers, Female products etc. and most of the user base of females. So, if you have something that is very much technical (that Linux kinda thing), it's not the right place. I had a blog for Quotes and that's why Pinterest brought me some good traffic. Here's the traffic stats which I receive after a month of promotion over Pinterest. 


This is of course Blogger's dashboard. This is some nice traffic from Pinterest. 

So what's need to be done if you have the right content/product for Pinterest users? Here's some points which you can keep in mind and will help you in getting loyal followers and traffics. 

1. Build your follower list - This can be done by putting a Pinterest board to your blog and asking your blog's visitors to follow you there. Another always working method is to follow the right people and they will follow you back. Now, how would you decide the right people? As I told you, I have a blog on Quotes, so I searched for quotes and followed those people who shared / pinned the quotes recently. These were the active people on that day and since they were sharing quotes, they love it. 

2. Create boards - Create specific boards related to what you are promoting. Pin things on there, and you will soon start receiving requests to share on other boards. Accept those requests and utilize those boards to share your blog through pins. 

3. Never forget to upload pins through your website and not as a direct upload. And while uploading, there is a place to add some text for that particular image. Keep that part exciting with a link to your blog at the end. 

--

Pinterest is not so complicated and do not have any feeds algorithms in particular, so working on these 3 points is in itself sufficient and you will in a week start seeing traffic to your blog from Pinterest. 

If you are already using Pinterest and want to add something, feel free to add it in the comment section. Thanks!

How to drive [huge] traffic through Disqus Comment System


Lately these days, most of the blogs have shifted to Disqus comment system from the conventional or CommentLuv. Disqus commenting system is very efficient in handling conversational comments and is free from spamming. The person has to login through Google, Facebook or enter his details before being able to comment. So, any blog owner only wishing healthy and non-spammy comments are going for Disqus these days. 

For one of my blog, I was trying some comments over various websites/blogs and found that almost all were having Disqus and in the process, also noticed that Disqus can drive huge traffic to your blog if used correctly. So, in this article I will show you how to drive huge traffic through Disqus Comment System to your blog. 

First thing which you want to do is make a list of the blogs that are famous and have Disqus comment system. It's better to choose highly popular websites rather than an average one. If you are going for it, go for big. 

Next, once you have compiled the list in the process of driving traffic to your blog through Disqus Comment System, find articles on that blog that are recent and is somewhat related to article which you want to promote. 

Now, Disqus Comment system allows you to put links in it through anchor tag. Write a short about 100 words comment in such a way that linking your blog in it through the anchor tag looks natural. Once done, submit the comment, and you are done. 

Important things to remember while commenting

  • In process of driving traffic to your blog through Disqus comment system, you must follow some of the commenting etiquette.

  • Make sure you comment at the earliest on any post. Try to be the first one to comment. Being the first one will bring much more traffic than ending up later in the list. However, if you missed it do not worry, these blogs are highly engaging and will still drive traffic to your blog. 

  • Be genuine. Do not comment just for the sake of a back link or traffic. For each Disqus comment, the blog owner receives a notification and there are high chances he notices the link. So, be contextual and yes, be genuine. 

  • Anchor tags can be used in this way.

      <a href="link">Anchor tag</a>

  • Choose only very high traffic sites, and prefer news sites. Stick to your niche. 

Some websites requires moderation. If you are commenting in a contextual way, there are very low chances of your comment being deleted. So, don't worry. 

And the last thing, do not forget to upvote your own comment. Also, if you maintain more than one Disqus account, up vote from the other one too. You can even ask your friends to do the same. It will keep you on top in the discussion. 

Here's a screenshot of a day of traffic to one of my niche blog, where I just commented on 3-4 blogs of my niche.



You can drive huge traffic to your blog if you do it right and for long. There is a huge potential in using Disqus Comment System to reach to readers. Also, the traffic coming through it is highly targeted. 

Next, your words. What do you think, will it work for you? Give it a try, return back here and tell me yes, it worked.

Note: I didn't see any SEO benefit by building backlinks through Disqus. So, use it for the purpose of driving traffic only.

This post is dedicated to driving traffic to your blog through Search Engine Optimization.

In simple terms, Search Engine Optimization is a process of optimizing your blog to rank higher in search engine. Al though, there is no defined way of ranking higher in search engines since no search engine will give the developers a chance to manipulate the search results, still there are many effective practices that will lead to your higher positioning in search results. Some of these practices are suggested by the search engines themselves and some have been discovered from various webmasters across the globe.

▌ Increase traffic to your blog: Search Engine Optimization


♦ Getting indexed. 


The first step towards search engine optimization is getting indexed by search engines. Google will never show your blog in results until they know about it. It is absolutely sure that someday Google crawler will crawl your articles unless you have disallowed them. But this someday is what you don't know. So, why not to do it manually.

Submitting your sitemap to Google, Yahoo and other search engine engines is the first step that tells them your blog exist. Google crawler will then crawl your blog and index all your pages in their search engine.

Increase Traffic to Your Blog : Social Media

This is the first article of the series about how to increase traffic to your blog. No matter how well you write and to whatever topic you devote your blog to, you are going to face difficulty in bringing traffic to your blog initially.

When you start up your blog, your search engine optimization process won't kick in for some time. May be a week, may be a month you have to wait for. You don't have subscribers to your blog and no one really knows about your blog. Then comes the role of social media.

Social Media can bring you a lot of traffic to your blog in any condition: whether your blog is new or is an established one. However, you must know how to fully utilize these social media in order to increase traffic to your blog.

▌ By social media, I mean non other than:


♦ Facebook
♦ Google+
♦ LinkedIn
♦ Twitter

▌ Set up yourself.


The first step towards utilizing social media to bring traffic to your blog is to set up your profile if you don't have one and adding people you know to your profile. You have to look genuine there and for that, you have to put your own display picture along with your bio. Now its time to import all your contacts and connecting with them.

▌ Increase your influence.


After setting up your profile, you need to reach to maximum people. Add people in your friend list and circles whom you know. Search for people with same interest in different groups and communities over the social media and join them, follow them or connect with them.

▌ Set up your blog identity on these media.


Now to increase traffic to your blog, you have to market your blog over these media. This can be done by creating pages, asking your friends to like or subscribe to these pages and join your blog community and asking them to re share it to reach to maximum people.

You can even use paid advertising in order to reach to people who are interested in blog's niche. These people will eventually be your readers and will bring regular traffic to your blog. However, buying twitter followers is not a good idea. You can Google about its reason.

▌ Marketing your content.

Facebook Page for my blog.

I presume that you have set up your profile and community and pages for your blog. Now its time to share your content to your subscribers. Using catching titles and images in your link share is a better way of driving traffic to your blog as compared to posting plain simple links. Putting up an image increases your chance of re sharing.

▌ Communication with readers.


There will be people who will like your links and re-share them. There is no problem giving them a word of thanks. People will comment on your links and may praise you or criticize. You have to take the criticism in a constructive way and give a thanks to the praises. You have to satisfy your readers who have queries. And provide solutions to the problems asked by other users in different communities.

      The basic aim of social media optimization is to reach to maximum people and connect with them. Social media is a great place to drive traffic to your blog with very less efforts.

How to Get On the First Page of Google

Todd jensen mentions in one of his article that about 94% people clicks on 1st page results and only about 6% people clicks on search results on 2nd or 3rd page.

That means if you are ranking even on 2nd  page of Google Search results, only 6 out of 100 people will click on yours blog link. Now considering the fact that there is (usually) 10 sites displayed per page, your chances of getting a visitor become as less as 0.6%. And this small percent increases to 9.4% if you are on 1st page of Google. Isn't that a great increase?

Let me talk about myself. f I am not satisfied with the results on 1st page, I simply search again for some other words combination rather that going to 2nd or 3rd page of Google to see if there is any solution out there for my query.

Chances are that you too do the same.

So, ranking on first page of Google has a great importance if you want some huge traffic from Search engine.

▌ Write great content. 


♦ A blog is a place where you write something and people read it. So, what if you are not giving your full devotion to writing articles? You will never get a large audience and readers. To get loyal readers, you need to have quality content and that too regularly.
content policy
content policy.

♦ Give your readers something new. You can use graphics, pie charts, graphs in you article to make it more interacting.

♦ Stats plays an important role. Give some stats from your side, or request other bloggers of your niche to share their stats on your blog.

♦ A picture is a thousand words. The phrase is so true. Very less people really read the complete post word by word. So, try to give a rough idea in some pictures only.




♦ Use points and heading, subheading, and bulleted texts unless you are writing an essay :P


▌ Social Media Marketing. 


♦ If Google advice you to place a +1 button on your blog for your posts, then you should give attention to it.

♦ Number of Facebook is 2 billions and if you ignore them, search engine will ignore you.

♦ Social Bookmarking sites provide a great way of sharing your contents to the readers and build a loyal audience to your blog.

♦ You can't expect to be on Google's first page with 20visitors/day. So, initially you have to work it out on different social media like Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn.

▌ Search Engine Optimization. 


♦ Search Engine Optimization comprises of the steps that will increase your search engine ranking.

♦ Do a lot of link building through Guest posting and commenting.

♦ Keywords research has to be done in order to get on 1st page of Google.

♦ On-page and Off-page optimization should be implemented.

♦ Working on titles, URLs, meta descriptions, and site's layout is equally important.

      In this post, I have just outlines the steps that needs to be taken for getting on first page of Google. I have written descriptively on some of the points and I will be writing some more articles in coming days.

If you have any other point which you want to mention, do mention it in comments. It will work great as an input to my coming posts.

▌ Follow me and I will follow you back. 


♦ Search people of your niche to follow.
