If you have a blog and would like to learn a fast and simple method for driving free traffic and search engine rankings, this article shows you everything you needed to know, step-by-step.

Before we move forward I want to talk about obtaining traffic and why the majority of bloggers get it wrong.

Up to eighty-nine% of blog owners think about traffic as hits, and put people all together. They are looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – at the end of the other line there is a breathing human being; with possibly the identical issues, wants as you.

If these bloggers wouldn’t look at traffic as hits, and will give thought on who they actually want to attract, and who are they really talking to on their blog, traffic generating won’t seem troublesome anymore.

Yes, for most bloggers traffic generation is rocket-science.

Once you master the basics, blogging for traffic can seem a total breeze. Just look around, and notice the pro bloggers out there. Do you think they’re hunting for traffic? Not at all; they’re probably not actively generating traffic. They make traffic work for them.

Here is an illustration to make my point across:

Imagine blogger A [the newbie] on the other side of the road… making an attempt to attract the attention of the audience [the cars on the street and folks around] holding a BIG red sign “Visit my blog ->”

Now picture blogger B [the professional] who has an entire army of people and cars advertising on his behalf, all across the road.

89% of bloggers are trying too hard to get their traffic; they’re publishing articles and writing blog posts; dabbling with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.

A tiny percentage of the bloggers out there recognize the power of leveraging so they’re taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.

If you wish to get on the boat of professional bloggers, then you’ve got to act like they act and do what they are doing:

Step #1 – think BIG and keep your focus [know who are you really talking with; who's your ideal consumer?]

Step #2 – run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your field and industry

Step #3 – never pay for advertising unless you have your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know precisely your visitor value - click and lead revenue]

If you are aware that for each visitor to your blog, you are making $1 a month on average, then you almost certainly could afford to pay 50 cents per unique visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit, right?
