How to create a traffic dominoe effect for your blog
Posted on Saturday, August 30th, 2008 under SEO, blogging by Dustin Brewer.There are a lot of ways to create traffic for your blog, one of the best ways that I have found to generate interest and traffic is through social media. Not just digg, newsvine or reddit but through some of the smaller niche social media sites. Such as designfloat, tutorialized and dzone. All of these sites are design and development related web sites that don’t get quite as much traffic as digg and company. But it does raise the chance that your site will get noticed by the digg community once your site becomes popular on some of the more niche social media sites.
Once you have made your site popular on some of these sites and gained front page attention you will start seeing your site pop up in some of the more popular social media sites. Usually the first two you will see your site in is del.ici.ous and Stumbleupon. Typically most users of any social media services share users with those two sites.
So instead of focusing on just the big social media sites like digg you can focus your attention on some of the smaller social media sites in order to gain some attention there and hope that you have made your content interesting enough that some of the other social media site’s shared users will submit your site to additional services.
Hence the domino effect and being able to generate interest by making it to the front page of some less popular web sites. You will still get some pretty good traffic from some of these sites by being on the home page. Not quite the digg effect but still good traffic. Typically the traffic that does come from these sites is much more interested in your subject. You will usually see your subscriber numbers jump up from the niche sites and not the digg’s and reddits of the world.
