There are 2 key areas that you should focus on when creating articles and attempting to increase blog traffic. These 2 areas will bring you clickthroughs when you are found via search engines.
- The Title: this needs to be appropriate to people using Google to search for information. Keyword phrases are great when implemented in your title. If you were searching for what you are writing about then what would you search for? That is a great starting point for a title that will be found on Google.
- The Description: you should always write a meta description of your posts. Give people a clear idea of what they can expect if they click. Sum up what your article is about straight away. Make this text unique and not just a copied section of the article.
SEO optimize your posts. You need to turn all the lights green on your SEO plugins. If you are not using WordPress or any plugins then here is what to do. Just make sure that you are implementing HTags and alt image text on your images.
Link internally from previously published articles that are relevant. These articles will already be indexed and so provide more click-through opportunities

How to get visitors to your blog
Commenting and engaging on other bloggers sites is a great way to build relationships and gain valuable backlinks. If you are actively posting relevant comments then the authors and commenters are sure to check you out. Comments are a great way to get visitors to your blog. You need to be actively building comments on your articles. Comments are signals for the search bots to keep going back to read the conversation. They help Google re-evaluate your content. The better your search results the more you are found.
Guest writing for other blogs
All bloggers need good content. By being a good guest blogger and adding value to someone else’s blog, you’re going to build relationships with other bloggers.
Bloggers make up a large percentage of conversations happening on the Internet, especially on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. They can be tremendously influential. Which makes them good friends to have. By making friends with other bloggers through guest posting, you’re going to grow your influence in the realm of social media, which will ultimately lead to more blog subscribers. Just make sure that your guest content has a link back to your site. Over time these link backs will pay dividends and really help your sites authority and generate traffic to your site
