How To Increase Blog Traffic

As a crew of basement brat, I have to contribute to this blog by writing a valuable post. But I was confuse, because no good ideas appeared in my head. I wanted to write about control engineering, my submajor in electrical engineering, but I didn’t have a good quality in it. I wanted to write about global financial crises, but it’s not my speciality, I am a electrical engineering student, not economics student. I wanted to write about policy, but I am not politician. So, as blogger I thougt it would be better if I write about blogging tips, how to increase our blog traffic. So more people will visit our blogs and what we written in the blogs will be read by more visitors. Like what I am doing for my “kampanye damai pemilu indonesia 2009 “blog. Before, forgive me if my english quality is not so good, not as good as older posts. But I hope you can understand reading this post, and this post doesn’t decrease basementbrat’s quality.

I am sure when someone creates a blog or site, he has purpose. Maybe with the blog he’ll appreciate his ideas. Or maybe he wants to monetizing the blog, get money from the site. Or maybe he uses his blog just for writing his activities or just for sharing what he feels. There are so many reasons and purposes in blogging or making sites, and everyone has different reasons. But whatever the purposes, I think people make a blog or site to be read by others. So, if we want our sites have many visitors and readers, we have to do some ways to increase visitors number, or increase the site traffic.

To check our site traffic, we can use site counter, so the visitors number can be known. We can also add live traffic widget like feedjit, so the visitors locations will be known.Or we can analyze in google analytics. If we want to check site traffic rank in the world, there are good site, alexa.com. This site gives ranks to all sites in the world by their traffic, or we can call it alexa rank. Please try to check your site in alexa.com, if your alexa rank still over one million, you have to do something to increase your rank.
