5 Tips on Traffic building that are so obvious you’ll feel stupid that you didn’t think of them
How I get 10,000 visitors a day:
1. I break the rules!
I am constantly being lectured by bloggers who tell me “you must stay within your niche!” “your theme is much to busy” “clean up your grammar and spelling”
Freaking Long emails about how I’m doing it all wrong and how dare I tell people other wise.
Well, I have a PR of 4 and 10,000 visitors a day …. And you?
When was the last time your blog was See On TV? Yeah, shut up and listen!
[blogger who‘ve read a few eBooks on the subject are on my last nerve tonight -sorry about that]
I’m not one to mix Leap Frog giveaways with romance novel excerpts, but many popular bloggers do.
Niches work for some bloggers. I’ve known bloggers who have so much going on in their lives that it’s relaxing to blog about nothing but hair weaves – if that’s you, Great! Go with that.
But if you have so much more in you that needs to get out, than stop blogging about macramé and let loose!
If you don’t have traffic now what stopping you from trying something new and different? I could be wrong, I don’t think so, I have the traffic, but what if I am, it’s not like you’re going to have less traffic than you have now.
2. I’m not afraid to live outside the box
There is thinking outside the box, then there is me!
I sell ad links for a dollar.
I send dollars in test tubes through the mail
I offer bloggers a chance to win ad space on my blog by entering my giveaways or leaving comments on posts
I ask people to send ME a dollar.
Be Original.
Don’t copy me – I’ve done it. The Awww value is gone.
Come up with something stupid and Do It!
Example: Do you realize what kind of traffic you can generate if people hate you?
Think Westborough, Howard Stern, Imus. No one wants to be hated, but you get the idea.
Do something different and unexpected. There are five billion recipe sites out there that you’re trying to compete with – Every mother on earth is starting a review blog – How are you different? What are you doing to stand out? Do a review a day of the inside of the office toilet? Set up your camcorder, go out on the street, do something odd and record reactions. Have you ever seen the Lego site? The guy spent a year taking pictures of Lego scenes. There’s a stay at home dad that has an entire blog of post it notes. Be the Next Original Thought![edeeism]
3. Don’t sweat the small stuff
Boring themes, grammar issues, spelling mistakes are NO BIG DEAL – unless of course your blog is grounded in English Lit.
If you have something that someone wants it doesn’t matter if you are using the standard 2010 theme and your blog is written in Pig Latin – They will come!
The only person who needs to love the look of your site is YOU! The idea is to GET PEOPLE TO YOUR SITE AND KEEP THEM THERE – your background doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. You’re here right? Why? Because I promised you something that you want Traffic! And #4 is the BIGGY!
4. Pin Everything
Pin, FaceBook, Twitter and Triberr! EVERYTHING you post should go out on those 4 platforms.
Think about it for a minute – How did YOU get here?
Now I’m going to share the BIGGEST BLOGGING SECRET with you. This is a biggy. I should probably save it for an ebook or something, but I’m going to tell you the BIGGEST BLOGGING Secret that no one ever admits. Ready?
**90% of my traffic comes to 3 posts! YUP! That’s it. The rest of my blog is BORING and no one looks at it.
Those three posts that have been repinned and reshared and retweeted a million zillion times. Those 3 posts bring in more traffic in a day than most people receive in a year.**
All you need is 1 recipe, 1 project, 1 idea, 1 key word – to get the ball rolling. Some blogs survive on 1 post that brings in all their traffic. ALL OF IT! Some blogs don’t have more than 15 posts. I once had a Friendship Bracelet site that I ignored 90% of the time, it got tons and tons of traffic. It had 100 patterns, very little content, mostly images and unbelievable traffic. You only need 1 amazing post to keep the traffic coming.
Every so often someone figures out what those posts are and they copy those posts and post them on their blogs and you know what happens? NOTHING! Go back to #2, if it’s been done it’s not going to work for you.
Bonus Tip!
**Why did you only pin that recipe once? Pin it every 3 days. Pin it technology! Pin it to Fashion!
I pin posts from 3 years back! Guess what’s getting traffic? Yup! Whoopie Pies! How dare you only pin that image once!
5. TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO!
If you want more secrets – Friend me on FaceBook
People who hate you will friend you, follow you, stalk you, to get what you got.
You don’t even know me? If you go to my FaceBook profile you will find something you Don’t like about me – but you know, at the very least, you want to follow me, because I’m giving out stuff you want – right?
I get 10,000+ visitors a day, I can prove I get 10,000+ visitors a day, you want 10,000+ visitors a day, you are smart enough to know if you watch what I do you can learn from me and get your own 10,000+ visitors.
HELLO! Why aren’t you following me?
It’s that simple.
If you didn’t find if simple – reread it.
Let’s Recap
1 & 2: Be Unexpected.
3: Don’t worry about stuff that doesn’t matter, just do something unexpected
4: Pin, Share, Tweet Everything that you unexpectedly do
5: Tell people what to do with your unexpected stuff

There’s that smarty pants brain working again!!!!
Thanks for these tips! There are SO many people out there telling bloggers what they HAVE to do to do it the “right” way. There is no specific formula for success, but being yourself and doing your own thing is the best place to start! [blogger]
it keeps asking me to confirm I’m not a spammer but there’s no box or anything to check (that I can see)
[sorry, fixed that. My Bad]
I don’t think I can do the other things. (for example, how would I make my craft based site “outrageous”), but I can at least repin older items
[admin: Girl, do what feels right to you! Make the craft memorable – funky background, photobomb it, post the featured image upside down every so often.]
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
You freakin’ rock!!!!! hahahaha! LOVE this post!!! And you’re SO right about everything you said on here!! I’m laughing so hard right now!!! I LOVE people who can keep it real!!! I want 10K+ hits per day on my blog!!! Help me, girlfriend!!!! *crossing fingers*
[blogger]
Blogger, great reading. Hope I win a month at your side bare.
I will try to repin my blogs every 3 day like you recommend.
Have a great easter.

It’s nice to hear someone saying what you are saying.
I try to be different but get so beaten down by all the people who tell me I’m doing the wrong thing.
So I stop 🙁
My book cover is different, what I’ve written in my book is different and many other things.
I’ve lost a little of myself lately, but reading this had given me a little inspiration.
I don’t even know your name, so thanks person
its about STINKIN TIME!!! U must of got 20 visits a day from me checking to see if you posted this yet. there’s another way to get traffic. Create anticipation and tell them the post is coming soon. THey’ll check 100x a day!! Uuugh lol thanks for the post. I wonder if the title of fat girl standing on her head in her underwear will get traffic ? (blogger extraordinaire) Follow me U know u want to
Love it! You have to do something to stand out from the masses. There is a blog about anything and everything already out there so we have to do something to stand out. I’m still trying to figure that out myself! [blogger]

Fantastic post! these tips are of great value for all the bloggers out there, both for those of us who are just starting and for the experienced ones who have been blogging for a while. I’m looking forward to share this kind of knowledge that can help out other people who might need it, thank you! [blogger]
P.S. The confirmation box is not showing on chrome in case you didn’t have that identified, I had to open another window on firefox to be able to post my comment, just trying to help out a little 😉

Thank you so much! I love this post, and made me think a little, I am so going to find my one post, and make it happen! I can do this! I know I can! Who cares what it is! I got it! I would also really love to win the free ad space![blogger]
Impressive traffic. Around 4 Million visitors a year. This with 3 posts and repint every 3rd day. Thanks for sharing your insights which unfortunately cannot be copied with the same success. Got the message. Need to be more creative on the marketing side.

I just started my first blog last week. Your article was very helpful!
YAY!!! Blogging is so much fun.
Thank you so much for this information. A lot of times we struggle with traffic and you gave fun, exciting and simple ways to drive more traffic to our site. [blogger]

Great advice! Especially about pinning and re-pinning. Will do!
That’s amazing! Who knew that something so simple could bring so much traffic!! I’ve been trying to make it much harder than it obviously is evidently. I’m going to religiously do what you’ve suggested for the whole month of April and see what happens. I’m not asking for that many people each day but more than what I have is very welcome 🙂
Thanks so much!!
[blogger]
Thanks for all the great advice, I know I could really use it. Will definitely be putting your advice to food use. 🙂 [blogger]
lol I said food instead of good 🙂 sorry it made me laugh….
It is so nice to see someone who isn’t a ‘niche’ blogger making it big. It gives me hope! I really need to get better at pinning everything I do. Thanks so much for all of the tips.
Fun post with blunt advice – great job – glad it is working for you

These are great tips that anyone can start doing today to increase their traffic! Thanks for sharing these and for sharing your BIGGEST SECRET! You rock! 😉

This is GREAT advice. I have a post that is currently taking off on Pinterest (repinned almost 20,000 times in about two weeks and gaining momentum!) and so a lot of my traffic comes from that, so good to know there is no shame in that! Thanks tons and keep being unconventional. No one likes a blog that is just like every other blog. 🙂
Awesome information!!! I am a newbie, and I am already doing things wrong. Thank you for setting me straight 🙂 The pinterest thing makes total sense. My most pinned recipe was before I had as many followers. If you re-pin it, all of the new followers can see it as well!!! You are awesome;)
Ooops…(blogger)
Great post! I don’t have a niche but blog about my family and what we do/like. Recipes, fun stuff, personal stuff, whatever I want. I own that little piece of the internet. I’m going to start pinning my stuff more often, thanks for the great advice! P.S. On Chrome I can’t see the box to confirm I’m not a spammer I had to use crappy Internet Explorer. [blogger]
Really interesting, I shall be back
The only thing I disagree with is spelling and grammar. Then again, I am a pain in the rear end writer/sort of editor and bad spelling or grammar kind of makes me twitch. LOL. Everything else though, great ideas!
I stopped trying to please everyone and in the past few months my traffic has increased quite a bit. On WP stats I would barely reach 800 visits a month and now I’m averaging 1,200+. Last month was 2,200! Blogging life is much better when you do it your own way and tell the rules to bugger off! =)
You’ve got some good ideas here. Maybe it’s time I step outside of the box! (BLOGGER)
Great read, thanks for the tips!!
Best advices ever! I am a newbie blogger and your post gives me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
One of the best blog posts I ever read! I am 100% for being ourselves in everything we are doing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and blog tips with us.
This post me laugh cause it’s so true about the 3 posts. I have about 1-10 posts that do really well on pinterest that get revisited over and over again. Just have to keep on blogging and hope something goes viral!
OMG. Having more than one topic pulled me in! How can anyone blog about ONE topic? And everyone says to find your one “niche” how boring can you be! I love you already. Thank you so so much for this post. You’re awesome!
This was a fun post to read. I’m on my way to find more of your stuff to eyeball and see if I can figure out what makes you tick! [blogger]
Hi
I loved your article. It made me also think how someone can blog about only 1 thing? Your post is fun and interesting. And is it really true most of the blogs get viral traffic to only 2 – 3 posts. I just can’t believe !!!(blogger)
I absolutely loved reading this post. Definitely one of the best I’ve ever read. Your honesty and bluntness was so refreshing. I’ll definitely being using these tips starting today. Thank you for sharing this!
I so loved that you admitted that only 3 of your posts bring most of your traffic. I have 1-3 that gives me the bulk of my traffic daily and all the rest are onez or twoz views. But it all adds up! You’ve inspired me to go outside my expected posts this week. We’ll see how it goes!
Thanks for the great read!

You made me laugh! I always found that the most outspoken, shocking views usually get most attention. But you have to want to do it – get 5,000 angry comments on FB each and every day… Will have to rethink my blogging strategy 🙂 (blogger) 🙂
Thanks for the tips! I’m just about to launch my blog, so my following doesn’t exist yet… But I will keep these tips in mind! (Blogger)
I love how candid you are. You’ve definitely given me some ideas of how to generate more traffic for my new blog. (Blogger)
Really loved this post (I don’t just think outside the box, I burn the box!) and think you’re spot on. Why do we feel like we have to follow all the rules or only one path? There’s more than one way to eat an elephant. Thanks for sharing your advice, it obviously works! 🙂
Eh, or maybe you’re just that likeable? Made me smile
Great post. I hadn’t heard about most websites only having a couple of awesome posts. Makes sense. Thanks!
How old is this post, and yet I found it today. I hate mommy bloggers, but I adore you for this post! It’s totally me. As I was reading I was saying to myself, this chick is me, just a lot younger. I’m so sick of having to follow the rules, or be made to feel like I’m a failure in the blogging world because I’m just now starting my mailing list. I wonder how many of these, “list builders” would feel if they sent their newsletter out at noon, someone opened it up, then immediately unsubscribe X all within that minute. I’m sure they’d freak out and need to pop some sort off chill pill. I had that today and I laughed about it. (Mostly because when you unsub you get an auto responder saying….YOU SUCK. ANYWHOOO, I just wanted to commend you on hanging outside the box. It’s an awesome place to be.
