The only aim of every blogger is to achieve the highest Alexa Rankings and to attain a large traffic as that’s what brings revenue for them. There is no doubt about the significance of the page rankings of a blog or a website.
 
Here are 15 best tips you need to work on to attract a large traffic for your blog :
 
 

1. Be- Consistent

The first tip in my list is the consistency which is needed by a blogger to give his best shots continuously. This means that you should love your blog and must post on daily basis and should give a reason to your readers to start relying on your site.
 

2. Link Bait

Link Bait is known as back links in simple words. If you dream big about your blog, start concentrating on getting more link baits. They are actually the links you get when the other sites link to your contents. It results in bringing a huge traffic from other sites to your blog.
 

3. Submit to directories

There are number of directories available online where you need to submit your blog.
 

4. Promote your Site on Forums

Make it a habit to visit forums that are related to you niche. Be active there and relate your site often to drive traffic.
 

5. Submit Articles to Directories

Once you submit your blog to directories, next task is to write some great pieces of writing and submit them to article directories. This brings a good traffic to your blog when people who are searching about the related topic as yours and find what they were looking at your blog.
 

6. Advertise your Blog

We cannot overlook the importance of advertising for sure. Like other marketers, you should also advertise your blog to attain a good traffic.
 

7. Write Guest Posts

Once you observe that people have started considering your blog a little, this is another important move. Start writing guest posts on other blogs to drag some traffic of that site to yours.
 

8. Make Your URL your Sign – Your Identity!

While contributing on different sites like on forums and commenting on other blogs, make it a practice to include your URL in your signature. This can bring traffic to your blog when people go through your contribution.
 

9. Search Engine Optimization

If you succeeded in getting into the good books of the search engines, then you don’t need anything else, however, search engines are never too down to earth for the beginners, in fact a lot of hard work is needed to for that. You need to learn a great deal about the SE0 techniques.
 

10. Business cards

You are a blogger by profession, isn’t it? Then do you have a business card? Majority of you must not have paid attention on this aspect. Create an optimized Business card for you as is do wonders. It’s another way of promoting your blog and introducing yourself as a pro-blogger.
 
 

11. Use social networking sites

Thanks to technology, the Social networking platform like Facebook, twitter and Google+, you can share your articles and posts with all your friends to make it sure they don’t miss it up.
 

12. Join Social Bookmarking Sites

There are a lot of bookmarking sites like Digg, twitter, Reddit, etc.
 

13. Use Q&A websites

There are plenty of Q&A sites where you can always serve people and enjoy a good traffic to your blog. Sites like Yahoo allows you to answer questions related to your niche.
 

14. Keep it alive

There should always be something interactive for the readers on your blog that should encourage the viewers to come back and follow.
 

15. Add Widgets

Using widgets like sitemaps and RSS on your website enables the reader to get used to of your site easily and can then quickly have an over view of your site.
 
So, that’s all for now, one thing that I would like to say by the end of this is, you need to have patience in all this because its  not an event but a procedure. stay Firm and keep working hard.
