    In my article ‘2 Tips to Generate Visitors’, I shared two ways to generate views to your website or blog. Here are three more ways.

     
    1. Bring out your new quality content on social bookm […]

    • Ask a marketer or business owner what they’d like most in the world, and they’ll probably tell you “more customers.” What often comes after customers on a business’ wish list? More traffic to their site. There are many ways you can increase traffic on your website, and in today’s post, we’re going to look at 25 of them, including several ways to boost site traffic for FREE.

      It’s not enough to produce great content and hope that people find it – you have to be proactive. One of the best ways to increase traffic to your website is to use social media channels to promote your content.

      Twitter is ideal for short, snappy (and tempting) links, whereas Google+ promotion can help your site show up in personalized search results and seems especially effective in B2B niches. If you’re a B2C product company, you might find great traction with image-heavy social sites like Pinterest and Instagram.

      Headlines are one of the most important parts of your content. Without a compelling headline, even the most comprehensive blog post will go unread. Master the art of headline writing. For example, the writers at BuzzFeed and Upworthy often write upward of twenty different headlines before finally settling on the one that will drive the most traffic, so think carefully about your headline before you hit “publish.”

      hink SEO is dead? Think again. Optimizing your content for search engines is still a valuable and worthwhile practice. Are you making the most of image alt text? Are you creating internal links to new content? What about meta descriptions? Optimizing for on-page SEO doesn’t have to take ages, and it could help boost your organic traffic.

      Got your high commercial intent keyword bases covered? Then it’s time to target long-tail keywords, too. Long-tail keywords account for a majority of web searches, meaning that if you’re not targeting them as part of your paid search or SEO efforts, you’re missing out.

    • Facebook is a great promotion tool whether you’re in the B2B or B2C industry. But did you know you can set up remarketing audiences in Facebook? By installing a Facebook tracking pixel on your site you can continue to market to customers who have visited your site. This is a great way to create return traffic to your business blog or website. And you can start remarketing to audiences as small as 100 visitors.

      Staying with Facebook, you can also give that email list of yours a second life. Instead of just using it to blast emails to your customers once in a while, you can upload that list into Facebook and capture the social accounts of anyone that has their email address attached to it. This is a HUGE benefit since it will allow you to market to those users on their mobile devices.

      Twitter remarketing works in almost the exact same way as Facebook remarketing. Simply install the pixel and you can now target your sites visitors on Twitter. The main difference is that Twitter will require a higher minimum audience count before you can start advertising towards them, 500 people to be exact.

      Blogging really does drive traffic. We recently ran an experiment where we increased our blogging from twice per week to over 10 posts per week. The result was a 300 percent increase in traffic in just two months. And this isn’t an unusual occurrence. Another company called Convirza ran a similar experiment with even better results. But, if you’re going to blog, you better do number nine.

    Gil Camporazo wrote a new post, When Did You Stop Smoking? 8 years, 4 months ago

    Smoking is dangerous to one’s health. That is a very serious announcement to those who smoke cigarettes. But it doesn’t work 100%. You can see people all over the world smoking. Why couldn’t people stop smoking? […]

    • Yes, it is a very lucrative business. If the manufacturing of tobacco would be abruptly stopped, the economy of the country would be greatly affected. Many people would be out of a job. Many mouths wouldn’t be fed. The whole society and even the country would be economically drained of money. That is the practical sense of view if tobacco is stopped for growing and production of cigars and cigarettes.

      But the people would be urged to refrain from using the cigarettes. Four years ago, the Department of Education had issued an order that every school should have to put up a notice declaring that the school is a free-smoking area. No one is allowed within the school premises and its adjacent place to smoke. It would be a bad example to the pupils whom they might be tempted to try smoking.

      Lately, we had let our pupils see the educational video about the harmful effects of smoking which generally killing smokers.

    • Inspite of many advertise/billboards telling people to stop from smoking but many people never quit from smoking..Even they increase the price of cigarrettes but still they are not convince..I myself keep on giving advice friends telling them the poasible effects but still i could not convince them..So the smoker itself should decide when he will stop to smoke

      • To quit smoking is not impossible if those smokers wanted to. It is a matter of commitment, a matter of determination if they don’t want to get sick. And also they should be supported by their family members. I don’t think they couldn’t do it.

        Selling of cigarettes couldn’t be banned. It is one of the major biggest contributions to the income and to the economy of the country. If it will be sanctioned by the government through the legislation, as I have said the economic status of the country would be greatly affected. Imagine the price of a pack or package of a cigarette has been raised according to you, but yet many are still buying them.

        I would repeat it is a personal commitment. If they want to stop smoking, they could do it. If they don’t want, then who else? Those smokers are already adult and they know what is wrong and what is right.

    • Believe it or not, I have never once even tried a cigarette. Smoking always seemed like such a vile habit to me that there was no appeal whatsoever. Even when many of my friends took up smoking, I never even wanted to try it. I guess I am one of those people who just has no predisposition at all for smoking.

      Anti-smoking campaigns in North America have been carried out for 50 years or more. There have been films and messages from health authorities, laws restricting the places where people can smoke and banning minors from buying tobacco products. Every packet of cigarettes has an ugly photo on it with a message about the harm caused by smoking. And yet there are still many youth who start smoking.

      I really don’t understand the attraction, but it’s pretty clear to me that the change has to come from society first. All the laws and awareness programs do little if children are seeing adults smoke, or if smoking is portrayed as cool on TV and movies. We didn’t see a lot of people quitting here until after smoking had become less of a factor in popular culture.

    • I started smoiking when i was only 16,i was at school and my friends forced me to just go for that and i enjoyed alot the taste of cigrate on that time.I started smoking from there.i continuously smoke for may b 7,8 years.and finally i realized that how bad the smoking is because sign of damage done by smoke,If i wal litlle i get tired so early,i used to play different sports but because of smoke i felt that i am not as sharp as i used to be.than i decided to quit smoking in year 2014 i stopped smoking and from that day tell no i didnt even touch a cigrate and now i am fit and feeling so good.

    • Congratulations on your many years of non smoking that’s a good achievement especially when you think of how early you started.smoking is harmful to our health that’s the advertisement you will see if packs of cigarettes in our country, but more and more people are getting into it regardless of the harm that it causes in the body. Women are the ones in the front line nowadays when it comes to smoking and I feel so sorry for those women who smoke. If it can do so much harm to the man how much more would it cause in a woman. I often ask myself why do people smoke, and the answers I get are sometimes ridiculous. Like someone told me once, that it keeps your body warm, is that by inhailing that bad smoke into your lungs or is it by burning your lips that keeps you warm, I don’t understand. Others say it relieves tension and stress, maybe that will work because I have seen in my work place when someone is stressed out with loads of work or is supposed to see the boss over a certain issue they will always go out and smoke then they gain some courage, and only then can they see the boss. Otherwise they become nervous wrecks and can’t handle anything. It’s very unfortunate that people find refuge in smoking, something that can kill you in hours. Despite th3 many announcements about smoking people ar3 still getting into it. I have never amoked in my life and my fiancee doesnt smoke either i thank God. After seeing my dad being admitted in hospital because hes lungs were so inflamed because of smoking i never wanted to hear or see any ofmy close friends or rekatives smoking it really broke my heart. But after his admission he was able to stop smoking. Unlike mt brother who was so hooked to smoking to the last day of his life may gis soul continue to R.I.P. cigarette smoking is bad and I always advocate for people to stop.

    • Smoking is a bad habit for everyone because it is dangerous to our health mentally , physically and spiritually. It leaves a bad effect on our memory.

      Quitting smoking is easy but for this purpose your will power be very strong. My many friends have given up the habit of smoking on the ground of will power or the doctor said him not to smoke in future otherwise the second heart attack will come soon.

      Nicotine is both a stimulant and a depressant. That means it increases the heart rate at first and makes people feel more alert. Then it causes depression and fatigue. The depression and fatigue — and the drug withdrawal from nicotine — make people crave another cigarette to perk up again. Some experts think the nicotine in tobacco is as addictive as cocaine or heroin.

      It can be hard to get used to not holding something or not having a cigarette in your mouth. If you have this problem, stock up on carrot sticks, sugar-free gum, mints, toothpicks, or lollipops.

    Sometime in 2011, I have written an article and cited some generic possible solutions to get rid of corruptions in the country Philippines. It is a shameful fact to name the country as one of the corrupt nations […]

    • Good read, Corruption is definitely one of the hardest things to rid within governmental systems. With that being said I believe since we live in a very informatic age it definitely makes a lot harder for those behind corruption within government To keep their wrong doings behind close doors!!

      • Thanks for the praise. Ever since the world began and even in the grand council in heaven as what the Bible says, corruption is already there. Imagine one-third of the hosts of heaven joined the force of the Son of Perdition, while the two-thirds joined and supported Jesus to save mankind for the glory of God.

        To admit reality, we could sense how corruption is being practiced in our own respective homes, but we never ever went against it for we do respect our parents and we know they’re for our welfare in the future. I have a personal experience for that. I was hurt for that and I told my children the unfairness which their grandfather did to me, but I told them it is a perfect great lesson for me on how to own family according to the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.”

    • I keep a saving account with a finance company which is not a bank.
      They do not have ATM or credit card or debit card.
      They let us keep our money there, and they lend out to people to buy house and car.
      If I want to take my money, I have to bring my passbook and go to the branch.
      This is the only way to keep money because no ATM, no debit card means no way to spend money easily.

    Rajaraman K wrote a new post, 2 Tips to Generate Visitors 8 years, 4 months ago

    Over and over again, a lot of people doubt as to how they can generate traffic to the new content on their blog or website or other places where they have posted the articles written by them. In fact a […]

    • This is similar to an Aesop’s parable I have read about. It is a situation about “Belling the Cat”. The mice are on the council, discussing the danger that they are always exposed to when the cat is around. When a little mouse butted in on their discussion, everyone was in the fuss. The suggestion of the mouse is a bit feasible; but the point is, “Who is going to put the bell on the neck of the cat?”

      In like manner, I could relate your tips on generating visitors to a site. You have limited them to general two methods. I would reiterate here. One is backlinking. What is backlink and how it is done? If you are a newbie bloggers or website owner, how could you handle this? In your case, have you done this? How? Does it work? Though you have cited examples, but they’re too limited I presumed.

      The second one involves two influencing factors. One is the quality post and the other one is a mailing list. Not anyone of us here could create a quality post and not anyone of us here have many followers, and friends so that we could be placed them on that list for emailing.

      • Hi nakitakona13,

        In the first place, did you write such a big comment just to get something like four or five cents to it? Since you have brought in the aesop’s fable into the picture, I have to think like that.

        Anyway,if I have written a article with the title “2 tips to generate visitors”, you have to apply your mind and understand that what I have shared/stated is only two tips out of a lot of others. You have to apply your mind in understanding things.

        Simply because I restricted it to “2 tips” does not mean that there are only two tips to generate visitors. I have limited it to “2 tips” or as you say “two methods” for (again!) “two” reasons.

        i) All the 100 methods or tips cannot be explained or written in one single article. After all, my time too has some ‘value’.

        ii)for a paltry sum of 15 cents and 22 cents we are getting here for an article, do you expect me to share/write all the tips available in the universe in one single article? No fool will do that. Especially, I cannot do that and I don’t want to do that. If you can, you can very well do that.

        I will be writing a separate article on the subject of backlinks for which you may watch these columns. Regarding your query “In your case, have you done this? How? Does it work?”, I have to say yes and it does work. Regarding your “how”, it needs an article to explain the whole process.

        Constraints of time and the meager amount we get as incentive in writing articles imposes your so called “limitations”.

        • Very well said. I do get it. Thank you for the explanation. You are right in every aspect. I do appreciate it. Keep on going and writing. Many will be reading your posts for they are worth reading and evey sharing. This one will never get a $0.01l probably #0.001.

    • Yes, what you tell is amazing for me and the readers of LB thanks for giving the tips how to promote the blogs posts. I think that Every blogger needs to know that headlines are insanely important. A headline has to grab the reader’s attention enough to click on a link or to start reading your article.

      That’s the headline’s job. It doesn’t matter if you have the cure to cancer in the post, if your headline doesn’t do it’s job, your content isn’t going to even get the chance to make an impact. Here’s a few resources for you:

      Lists, infographics, posts with tons of images, posts where you rant and rave, posts where you call out an expert, posts where you bare it all for your audience. There are so many different shapes your content can take. Making a bit of a practice of trying some can lead you to stumble upon a content type that you love to make and your audience loves to share. Because we need to face it: some kinds of content are just way more shareable than others.

      The more often you publish the more opportunities you have to promote individual posts. Similarly, the more often you publish the more opportunities you get to experiment with different types of content and the more chances you have at finding what we call a breakthrough blog post.

      These are the posts that take on a life of their own and go viral. They’re like the home runs of blogging and increasing your publishing frequency simply gives you more chances to swing the bat. Publishing more frequently is absolutely a viable option to get more shares, more traffic and more traction.
