Are you looking for more traffic for your blog?
If you answer yes – you’re not alone. In fact you’re in the vast majority of bloggers. I ran a survey of a segment of ProBlogger readers recently and a ‘lack of traffic’ was identified as the #1 challenge that bloggers face.
Kicking off on Monday 24 January Chris Garrett and I are running a short course to tackle this problem. Over 5 modules we’ll walk you through our philosophies for building traffic to blogs.
The course is just $29.95 USD – or $99 if you do it with our other 4 courses in the Pillars of ProBlogging series. It is the 2nd of these courses that we’ve created (the first had some great reviews) and we’d love for you to join us!
In the course we’ll cover 5 Modules:
Module 1: Where to Start
- Starting with the visitors you have
- Build Loyalty
- Engagement
- Subscriptions
Module 2: Get Off Your Blog
- Forums
- Blogs
Module 3: Get More Google Traffic
- Keywords and key phrases
- Keyword research
- Landing pages
- Links
- Other ranking influences
Module 4: Advertising and Syndication
- Adwords
- RSS, Aggregators and Syndication
- Repurposing
- Guest-Posting
Module 5: Live Webinar
- Live chat with Chris and Myself (in fact we do two live webinars to accomodate different time zones). These will be recorded for those who can’t make the live webinars.
Each of the modules is made up of multiple videos (a total of over 20 videos) which you’ll have access to for a year – so you don’t have to complete it all in the five days that we release them.
So if you’re looking to boost traffic to your blog in 2011 and you need a little inspiration and instruction to get you going – sign up today for this course.
I think I am going to get into some forums. I haven’t been on many recently besides Digital Point and maybe that is a problem I can fix in relation to my variations of links.
Yes, Forums helps a blogger get traffic in many ways
I took his his advice years ago….Both of my blogs rank at the top of Google search engine.They are http://www.nycems.blogspot.com/ and http://njems.blogspot.com/
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you Darren.
This is one of the most wanted topic for all the bloggers. as i am a new blogger all the modules are very important. and i dont want to go fast and get into trouble i will go step by step and gain traffic. thanks for sharing this Mr.Darren Rowse.
As I was researching about google page ranks – I was passed on to your blog. And all I can say is – congratulations for making another page rank up! From PR6 to PR7 – Man, you definitely deserve it! Keep the useful blog information coming in! :)
Thanks for the guide. I really need this. I still have to work out on some of the guides you have posted but this definitely will help me advertise my blog. Thanks!
the first step is always introducing the audience to your content and asking them to share it with others. “pay it forward’.
It sounds a great course, getting traffic is very important.
Very enticing however those of us who are trying to get more traffic are usually trying to generate more cash also. More free training would be better if someone truly wanted to help. Just my opinion.
I have got more plans to get traffic for my new website.
Great Darren. I’ve been bookmarking them for a while now and just decided to create a post to provide them to others…I really love to read articles that have good information and ideas to share to each reader.
Very good tips for bloggers, it really helps me find a way to increase more traffic, I recommend it to everyone cause many still haven’t got a clue where to start.
I think this module are great.But my concern do one have to follow through on all this module for one to really get huge traffic?
Every think great to read here, but how to implement Build Loyalty and Engagement and Get Off Blog with social networks? i am regularly following Problogger, but i need more tactics then given here. need more action plan on above categories. Any how its a great post…
very nice advices but it would require a lot of time probably
it sounds like a really good course, is also certainly one I will be looking at.
Since I write about is addressed only to a small group of people, so all help will be helpful
Thanks Darren .. This helps a lot .. Btw .. what is the big deal about the Google Page Ranks .. how do we increase that .. and more importantly .. do we really need to increase that
My site http://www.shakein.com is still at 1/10 :(
This is a great way for bloggers to get a head start…I surely would want to get my blog viral…
Darren is the man. You can’t go wrong with his ebooks and training. Solid, practical advice that will always work and there’s no BS involved. Keep it up mate.
Forums are an excellent resource for both links and shared interests. If you can’t find a forum for your niche, start a new forum. Great way to create more interest in your sites.

Thanks for the tips! I am definitely working on getting more traffic to my blog.
Hi Darren,
Sounds like a great course. You’ve broken it down into nice size modules as well it looks like.
Thanks for sharing Darren!
Can you explain about Landing Pages?
I started my blog 10 days ago. Thank you for your advices but can you explain more about each of them and show us some examples.
I am also new in this area. So i am searching methods to increase website traffic.
Thanks for the tips!!
Many thanks to Darren Rowse for offering this opportunity to new bloggers. But honestly speaking problogger.net is so rich in content that just blog reading is also very beneficial for blogging.
The keyword section sounds very interesting. It will definitely help me in researching keyword for my new site on personal loans!
I am an absolute beginner in blogs’ world.
Very soon, I have the intention of start a blog.
These are very interesting advices to consider.
I have added this site to mi Firefox’ Bookmarks.
Thank you very much to share!!
*sigh* yups.. for a lot of traffic.. theres a lot of stuff to do first.. no shortcuts :-|
Just stopping by to say thank you Darren, this is great stuff, and has truly helped out a lot of people.
Great tips. More traffic is every blogger’s dream, and I think that you have the insights and experience to help us all out. Thanks for sharing.
Thnx for the tips man. Im into blogging since 2008 but now Ive started to feel myself ready to go to the next level.
Google is a big help on increasing traffic for blogs. One should try article marketing and a lot of SEO. Keywords and phrases are effective forms of optimization. Facebook also does great help on promoting your blog. Many thanks for the tips. Really useful!
Loved the guide. Will have to incorporate into my blog once built.
Thanks Dan.
That is a great package you have, especially for people new to the industry. 2011 is all about quality, and I think the shortcuts of the past are going to be over soon.
LinkedIn and forums will be a great part of this whole training series for me.
