Most of the blogs have rich content but can not get more visitors or page views.  In this article I will explain how to increase blog traffic and page views by sharing some of the useful tips to increase blog traffic.  Your main focus should be to generate great content and get it noticed when ever you start blogging.

Let us see what are page views.

What are page views? 

 When ever visitors visit your own page or blog, the number of hits are considered as page views.   If there are more visitors to your posts in the blogs, more will be the increment in your page views.

How to increase Blog Page views and traffic

Rich Content

Many times bloggers must have heard about the saying "Content is the King".  When new bloggers start making their own content for the first time in their blog, the blog looks small and they have a less number of subjects to write about.  So in the initial days of blogging, new bloggers do not have any specific topics or subjects to write.  As a result they have only few posts which are not optimized for SEO.  So they do not receive good amount of traffic.  

The only solution to increase the traffic to your blog is - new bloggers should start the blog with 15 posts and try to increase the traffic through social media.  Write the posts with at least 500 to 1000 words.  when your blog has more than 50 articles, it will get popular and displays top in search results.  New bloggers should improve the visitors to their blog posts by sharing their content in FaceBook, Twitter etc..   Make your blog more resourceful so that your readers are encouraged to visit it frequently.  Focus on developing a resource for your blog that has useful information and provides the reader with  answers to their problems.

 

Interlink the posts

Interlinking of the posts is one of the best ways to increase blog page views.  Even Wikipedia is using this technique to increase page views.  When ever you post some thing new in your blog, try to interlink the post with the previous posts by using proper anchor text.  Interlinking definitely helps to improve page views and also improves the readership.  This is the best method to reduce the bounce rate of blog and to increase crawl rate of the blog.

Use Related Post Widget

Whenever you write a new post for your blog, tag it with keyword of the article label.   When you use the related post widget, the posts related to the label are shown.  So when a reader completes reading the post, he / she will start exploring the blog using the related post widget. As a result the traffic as well as page views of the blog will increase. Always use the related post widget after the post and before the comments.

Give away something

To create a successful online presence, we must contribute.  So you need to create some thing for free.  You are a new blogger and you are not known to any one in the world.  It takes some time to come into the limelight.  How ever, if you create an e-book for free and begin heavy promotion, chances are that you will become noticed very soon if the e-book is well written.  No special techniques are required for creating an e-book.  You can create an e-book in MS Word.  Once you start promoting this e-book in social media then your blog starts increasing the page views and traffic.

 

Write a series of articles

Similar to serials in TV shows, you can split your posts to multiple posts depending on the article.  For example, if you have an article of 15000 words, then you can split it into 5 or 6 posts.  Writing a series of articles also increases the number of posts published in your blog. It increases the blog page views and traffic which also reduces the bounce rate of the blog.

 

Use search box

Using a search box is one of the best tricks for visitors to explore your blog.  Many bloggers do not use the search box which is provided by Google. Once the visitor completes reading a post, he / she needs a search box to know about old posts.    So adding a search box will definitely increase the page views and traffic to your blog.
