You have a passion and you have created a blog for it. You are posting fairly regularly, but your blog has a very low audience. You must be wondering, even if someone knows about the existence of your blog. Many times you must have felt the need to stop writing and abandon blogging. Give your blog one more chance. Here are some tips that will not only improve your blog’s Google page rank, but also traffic and search rankings.

1) Find bloggers in your niche who also share your passion. Exchange your links. Even better, promote your blog using another blogger’s platform by offering a guest post. One post will provide the other blog with much-needed expert content, and at the same time, you and your blog will gain exposure as an expert in that niche. You will notice a marked improvement in your website traffic after a guest post. You can replicate this formula on many other blogs and it could just be your path to internet fame.

2) Give expert opinions. If your blog posts have high-quality, valuable information, then you will see many other websites and blogs linking to you. This will create natural and relevant backlinks to your blog. Google considers such inbound links when ranking your site. In no time you will see an exponential increase in your traffic and search engine ranking for your keywords.

3) On Page Optimization: Whether it’s a website or a blog, the basics of SEO remain the same. Optimize your blog; add keywords to your titles. Place relevant meta tags and optimize images and links. Make URLs SEO friendly. There are many WordPress plugins for this exact purpose.

4) marker: Social bookmarking websites like Delicious and Digg are great tools for increasing traffic to your site while providing valuable inbound links. Today, there are hundreds of bookmarking sites where your blog can be submitted for further exposure.

5) blog comments: Although it is abused a lot, it is still a very good way to increase traffic if it is followed seriously. Browse blogs in your niche, read blogs, and make smart and helpful comments. Be sure to contribute to the discussion and don’t spam. Don’t forget to put your blog link there. It will drive traffic back to your blog and also increase page rank (if you are a dofollow)

Using these simple tactics will ensure that your blog gets great visibility and traffic in no time.
