life !

WRITE LONG FORM BLOG POSTS
• It’s simple.. “write more”. Content in excess of 750 words gets shared more
often.

USE PINTEREST
• If you use images, Pinterest is the definitive answer. Even if you don’t have
images, take photos of your posts, spice them up and pin them. Add more
reach by connecting your Pinterest to social accounts too.

USE PINTEREST GROUP BOARDS
• Grow your traffic faster by piggybacking off of the power of group boards. A
little known secret that has high potential to turbo charge traffic.

USE LINKEDIN
• Hailed as the Facebook for professionals. Get to the level of All Star profile
and 500+ connections to truly tap into the powerful gem that Linkedin
really is.

USE LINKEDIN GROUPS
• Link up with groups that align well with your niche. A targeted group of
people that you can network with to improve your online presence.

USE LINKEDIN PULSE
• Compose a blog post on Linkedin through their blogging platform (i.e.
Pulse) that will create engagement with your content that ultimately may
drive traffic back to your blog from links embedded within your post.

REPURPOSE CONTENT
• Write it then turn it into something else. Turn it into a podcast, maybe a
video or an instructable. Let it serve as your inspiration for a software idea
or maybe turn it into a slideshare like this one.

USE ONLYWIRE
• Each time you post, this nifty traffic tool will push your content to up to 50
social websites.

USE RSS FEEDS
• An alternative way for people to continue to visit your website without
actually visiting your website. Real simple syndication is not something you
want to ignore.

CREATE SLIDESHARE PRESENTATIONS
• Presenting information whether it’s new or repurposed in a slideshow
format allows you access to new audiences that can discover your website
and boost your traffic.

CREATE A PETITION
• Is there a cause or something you’re passionate about connected to your
niche ? Create a petition through petition websites and associate your
website to increase your traffic.

CREATE A SURVEY
• People are very comfortable with surveys. Create surveys and combine this
strategy with $5 advertising on Fiverr to improve the reach and exposure of
your surveys for increased visibility.

WRITE A PRESS RELEASE
• Quality information that is newsworthy is a great way to increase exposure
to your blog content and / or brand.

INFOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT
• Developing an infographic may not be the easiest task to undertake, but it
can always be outsourced. Infographics still remain a popular way to
provide quality information and increase traffic to your blog and website.

WRITE AN EBOOK
• Surely you’ve had a good idea for an ebook, but it never came to fruition.
However writing an ebook means you essentially have a “product” that you
can share on product websites that can increase your blog traffic.

GAME CREATION
• Freelance websites are great resources to find developers willing to create
products. Once you have your product, you can provide embed codes that allow
others to embed your product on their websites that directly lead back to yours.

USE INSTAGRAM
• As someone developing content, sharing content or promoting content,
Instagram is a platform that can most certainly leverage your content and
drive traffic back to your blog.

USE VIRALWOOT
• This is a platform that can help you to leverage any and all activities on
Pinterest ultimately growing your online presence through this pin based
powerhouse.

USE TRIBERR
• If you’re a blogger, regardless of your niche, Triberr is a place that you want
in your traffic rolodex. Bloggers spread the word about other bloggers
content here.

USE JUSTRETWEET
• This is another gem for bloggers to expand the reach of their content. A
credit based system that can “immediately” expose your content to
thousands of readers that will share it with their audiences.

USE GOOGLE PLUS
• Some may argue that it’s a ghost town, but I wouldn’t ignore any Google neighborhood.
Most brands have a Google Plus page and it still remains in the conversationfor top
social networks online which means it’s good for traffic too.

USE GOOGLE PLUS GROUPS
• With hundreds of millions of users connected to this social network, groups
formed have dedicated followings that are more than happy to +1 your content.
Participation is a key strategy to getting referral traffic from groups.

USE UDEMY
• Repurpose your content into a presentation for a class. Teaching your
content to others is a time proven strategy that earns credibility, legitimacy
and places a spotlight on you. This is the platform to make that happen.

USE QUORA (THE Q & A PLACE TO BE)
• No matter what niche you’re in, your audience has questions. There are
tons of questions just waiting for thoughtfulanswers. You can add links to
your responses that can drive referral traffic back to your website.

USE BIG NAMES
• Piggyback off of the big names (be sensible about how you do this).
Comment off of an aspect of a post of an influencer and turn it into an
“original” piece of your own.

START A FORUM
• Put your audience in a position to develop content for you. That is one of the
strongest benefits to having your own forum. Each post on a forum is a new
page of content that ultimately means more potential traffic to your blog.

START A CONTEST
• Universally, contests engage people and that leads to action. Starting a
contest can mean more email subscribers, more social media activity and
more traffic to your blog or website too.

RESPOND TO CONTROVERSY
• There’s all sorts of controversial blog posts out there in various niches. Find
one and respond to it. Controversy always warrants attention because
everyone has an opinion and wants to weigh in on the debatable topic.

RESPOND TO TRENDS & HOT TOPICS
• Whether it’s trending news, hashtags or the latest on the Google trends
page, responding to this can garner traffic you wouldn’t have seen
otherwise had you not decided to talk about it.

BLOG COMMENTS
• This one is self explanatorywith a twist. Blog commentinghas been around for a while,
but if you plan to stand out then write a blog comment like you’re writing a blog post.
The more informativeit is, the more likely it is to get noticed and lead to more traffic to
your blog.

WRITE INSTRUCTABLES
• The nice thing about instructables is that you provide digestible “steps”that
individuals have to follow in order to learn what you’re attempting to teach
them. This is a great way to repurpose existing content to a new audience.

MAKE A LIST.LY
• You may not have heard of this little gem, but everyoneloves a good list. Start any topic
within your niche and make a list out of it. List.ly will even allow affiliate links in your
lists allowing you to drive traffic to your blogs and to your affiliatepages too.

HIGH QUALITY DIRECTORY AGGREGATORS
• While many directories are not going to be worth your time, the high
quality aggregators such as Alltop and the Somuch directory are the kind of
neighborhoodsyou want to be associated with.

CREATE ZEEF PAGES
• You may not have heard of Zeef. It is a human curated directory. Everything
approved on Zeef is done by an actual person. This signifies it’s uniqueness
with respect to a quality standard that sets it apart from other directories.

SCOOP.IT PAGE
• This is a really nice content curation website. This site also allows you to
reach out to other scoopers and pitch to them content that you’d like them
to promote for you. If accepted that will lead to additional traffic.

STUMBLEUPON PAID DISCOVERY
• Take existing content that is doing well on your blog and then submit it to
Stumbleupon Paid Discovery to leverage and increase the traffic exposure
you’re already getting organically online.

YOUTUBE ADVERTISING
• The second largest search engine in the world and 1 billion visits daily.
Inexpensive advertising, increased reach, traffic and promotion for your
blog content.

ADWORDS PPC
• When you want a plug and play traffic option and don’t want to fuss with
ranking organically in Google, a PPC campaign, depending on the keywords
you’re bidding on can put you on the first page “above the fold” very quickly.

BLOGGER OUTREACH
• Connecting with other bloggers essentially building a blogger network can
inevitably lead to content reciprocity and traffic that would be difficult to
acquire on your own.

GUEST POSTING “DONE RIGHT”
• If you’re going to guest post, don’t submit, thin, poorly written and short
guest posts. Substance and length is your friend in guest posting. When this
is done correctly, it is a very effective strategy to acquiring traffic.

CREATE A RADIO AD
• They’ve been around forever and they work. Radio ads are an underutilized
method of promotion. Radio stations are “always” looking to fill radio spots.
These ads can be very inexpensive in the goal of acquiring blog traffic.

MAKE A PODCAST
• While many still prefer to read content, listening to content certainly has a great
deal of appeal. Exposing your content to the podcast community by creating a
podcast is a great way to increase traffic to your new and existing content.

THE SPEED AUDIT
• In laymens terms, a “slow” blog is bad. No one likes slow and that’s the fastest way to lose
traffic. Screaming Frog, SEMRushand SE Ranking WebsiteAudit are great resources to
assess the issues within and associatedwith your blog that can impact your traffic.

USE REDDIT
• The right contentthroughReddit can crash a server. In upwards of over 15 million
unique visitors per month and an extremely diversecommunity. There are endless
opportunities for content promotionresulting in powerful referral traffic.

MAKE YOUR WEBSITE MULTILINGUAL
• The competition to topthe mountainof Google can be difficult.It is most difficult on the
English based US version of Google. However,it is less difficult when targeting other
countries.Making your website multilingual taps into traffic you aren’t getting in the US
based version.

USE OF IMAGERY IN TWEETS
• Tweets on Twitter “without” images receive far less activity, interaction
and shares versus tweets with crisp and clear images. Well chosen imagery
can increase referral traffic from Twitter to your blog.

USE BLOGENGAGE
• This is another blogger community where sharing content means your
content will get shared as well. Content that gets voted up enough gets
featured on the Blogengage homepage.

USE BIZSUGAR
• This is a blogging community that operatesby giving good content “sugar”. Once you’ve
hit around 15 sugars, your content gets deemed“hot” and that exposes you on their
platformto higher degrees of engagement and referral traffic.

USE INBOUND
• This communityis more focused on marketingprofessionals, but is still a good space for
bloggers and like minded business pros too for expandingthe reach of content shared on
the network that ultimately leads to referral traffic back to your blog.

USE TWITTER ADS
• For as little as ten dollars, you can get your message out to thousands of
people. Instant and immediate traffic on a massive platform.

USE TWITTER CARDS
• Anotherway to beef up your Twitter content to help it stand out amongst the
competition. Interestingly enough,a lot of people still haven’t caught on to this.
Nevertheless,the “edge” you get from Twitter cards is worth the extratraffic that can be
realizedfrom strategy.

USE FACEBOOK ADS
• Leverage the potential of Facebook traffic via their ad platform. Always aim
for the lowest bids that will result in the highest reach and return for the
pages that you’re targeting.

USE OUTBRAIN
• This platform is great for amplifying your content. The minimum daily
spend is ten dollars (very inexpensive considering the sites your content
can get exposed to). High quality traffic and great return on investment.

REDDIT ADS
• At 4 to 5.5 million pageviews per day that’s a powerful platform to leverage
your content to an incredible audience. Considering the sheer size of their
website, Reddit also has some of the cheapest traffic you can get online.

PINTEREST PAID DISCOVERY
• If you don’t want to wait for organic discovery for your pins to drive traffic
back to your website, then opt for the paid discovery. Choose a pin to
promote and enjoy the fast track to referral traffic.

INTERLINKING
• Underestimatedstrategy in how you attempt to acquire more traffic. While conventional
wisdom says you’re using the same traffic you already have with this one, what you also do
through interlinking is increase pageviews and promote other blog content through strategic
interlinking that connects content on one page to relatedcontent elsewhere on your website.

CONVERT POSTS TO PDF’S
• This is a repurposing strategy for referral traffic. When you convert your
posts to pdf’s this enables you to upload your content to websites that
accept information in this format.

USE FLIPBOARD
• Flipboard allows you to turn your content into online magazines. This gives
you the opportunity not only to reach new audiences but to spice up your
content with a more visual appeal.

USE COUPONS
• No matter what niche you’re in, there’s always a way to incorporate the useof coupons.
There are coupon sites galore. Uploadingyour coupons to these websites connects you
with an audiencebase that can only improve the traffic you’re already getting.

USE YOUTUBE
• You already have existing content. Take the content you have, create a channel
and repurpose what you write about into videos. Leverage the massive
audience that Youtube has to bring awareness to your blog content.

USE METACAFE
• This is yet another video sharing powerhouse. Upload your video content
here to connect with the millions of daily Metacafe visitors for video
referral traffic.

USE DAILYMOTION

developor outsource development of videos for this particularvideo community.
Content acceptedhere will be seen by a very large audienceincreasing your referral
traffic.

USE VIMEO

about this traffic strategy is that it’s a social networking community too. If you
can get your video uploaded here enjoy the added exposure and traffic.

USE VINE
• Create a six second video that can potentially lead a rather large audience
back to your blog.

USE SWIPE

many apps within Sumome to grow your traffic and online presence.

USE SLIDE.LY
• This is another slideshow presentation website. Some big names have used
slide.ly’s to gain additional attention for their content such as Techcrunch,
TNW, Yahoo, Mashable and Makeuseof.

USE BUYSELLADS
• This methodis great for creating different types of ads (think Adsense) with various
price points that are acceptedand timeframesfor how long your ad can reside on
targetedwebsite pages. This is a very handy traffic generatorfor content exposure.

NING COMMUNITIES
• Regardless of what you blog about, you can create your own social
community using Ning. This can also be integrated with other social
networks to expand your reach and referral traffic to your blog.

USE ALLTOP
• Add your blog to the Alltop directory.While I haven’t heard of any “massive” traffic
increases from this directory, getting approved to this directorywill add some quality
referral traffic by those who discover your content from this directory.

USE SCRIBD
• Repurpose your content and then share it on this website. Upon approval,
the access will help your blog content achieve traffic from an audience that
enjoys consuming quality content.

USE VISUAL.LY

traffic can do wonders for your brand and establish you as an authority in your
niche based on quality and content in your infographic as well.

of the more popular places to go for easy infographic development.

particularlywell for charts and maps if you’re focusing on incorporatingdata into your
infographic. Combinethis strategy with any photo-sharingplatformfor increased traffic
and exposure.

traffic but it does expose your message to a new audience on a different platform.You
create the audio and others listen. This can also translate intomore traffic to your blog.

USE TUMBLR
• A fun microblogging platform that provides an avenue for you to share your
blog content and increase website engagement with a large social network
audience.

• At it’s core, it’s about connecting blogs with other blogs. This is also accomplished
throughblog hops and blog parties. There’s also an “extremelyinexpensive” ad platform
(25k impressions for five dollars). Truly another gem in traffic generation.

USE FIVERR
• The original $5 marketplace.There are a lot of offers that aren’t worth your time but
there are “several” that are extremely usefulfor increasing your blog content exposure.
You just have to spend some time browsing the marketplaceto find services that meet
your traffic needs.

ADD TO TUTORIAL WEBSITES

People are always seeking directions.Tutorialwebsites let you tap into this hungry
audience.Answering those questions means more traffic for you.

spam. Go after high qualitylinks which strengthenyour backlinkprofile. The more of
these you can acquire will ultimatelyhelp you outrank the competitionfor niche and
industrykeywords.

SHOW OFF YOUR EXPERTISE

This will help to separate you from the rest of the pack and help you to get
recognized as an authority with expertise in your niche.

USE YAHOO ANSWERS

receiving it’s fair share of attentionon the question andanswer front. Be sure to
participatefirst before adding your own links to your answers using this strategy.

USE METAFILTER
• This is a question and answer website that provides a platformwherebyyou can respond
to questionsdemonstratingyour knowledge. Whilethe traffic may not be as massive as
Quora, it still has the potential toprovide targetedreferral traffic back to your blog and
website content.

to register to reply to questions and be active on this platform.Additionally,your link can
be added to responses as well to help drive traffic back to your website as well.

the same purpose as the others listed among my traffic tactics. It provides yet another
opportunity foryou to answer questions that can drive targetedtraffic to your blog
throughtheir Q&A audience.

WRITE AN ULTIMATE GUIDE

is to “participate”.This is a very particularcommunitythat reminds me of Reddit.
Provide quality content andyou’llreap the benefit of quality referraltraffic too.

CREATE AN ABOUT.ME PAGE
• Setup a page about you and your business. Completeas much of it as possible so that you
essentiallyprovide any visitors to your page as many outletsas possible for them to visit
