How To Get More Traffic To Your Blog
1) Blog frequently
Most new bloggers dislike hearing this. Trust me when I say that the struggle for content is ongoing. New bloggers, however, feel like it`s just happening to them. The truth is, don`t get a blog just to have a blog. Get it and keep it updated. It`s the quickest way to gaining traffic. How often should you blog? Three times a week. The best days to blog? Studies have shown that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are key days for blogging.
2) Stay on point
I tell authors this a lot: stay on point, stay on topic. Why? Because if you don`t you`ll lose readership. Once someone commits to your blog they want to keep reading relevant information. So don`t blog one day about your book, your speaking, or your mission and the next day share Aunt Ethel`s pot roast recipe.

Cheru spent three months providing the coding a system where users could simply add a URL to their latest blog and see it added to loop of new blogs which appear in front of site viewers. The pages don’t remain on screen for long but if you have an interesting title, your page WILL be clicked upon.
On Cheru’s blog he provides a detailed explanation about Alpha Inventions:
If you update or publish your blog at the same time my visitors are browsing blogs in my site then my visitors will get a chance to see your blog in real-time. BAM! (the entire blog is in their face instantly) It’s not even annoying to watch. Is it alpha addicts??
I also provide a link to your blog in case they want it to open your blog in a new window, or bookmark your blog . The links provides your title, and description to help my visitors get a better understanding on what your blog is about, and get more interested.

From Adfero
Growing businesses in the UK need to ensure their email marketing efforts reflect their company brand, experts have claimed.
According to Brick Marketing, all parts of outgoing promotions need to act as “an extension” of a firm, benefiting from graphics and pictures to make them attractive to consumers.
Writing on the Email Marketing Journal, the experts also urged companies to not hesitate when thinking about making changes to campaigns.
The company said: “When allowing an email marketing campaign to mature it will go through many tweaks and changes over its lifetime.
“Your email marketing campaign is like any other part of your business, some things will work and some won’t.”
