Great Blog Posts to Get Links and Traffic

A blogger in work table with a computer and a mug of coffee.
Most bloggers blog for a reason, to get links and traffic! Some people blog but never seem get these results. For such people, it is best to ask, what kinds of posts should I write to get more links and traffic? According to experts, if you are able to bring some powerful post types into your blog, your content will begin to work wonders on social media while also generating a lot of grassroots in-bound links. Now, that’s great if you ask me. Get your blog to draw from the following resource areas and it will attract traffic.


Expert advice: Online, everyone is looking for answers and solutions to many and varied problems. Hooking up to an expert is one good way to get results. A quality advice-post generally sticks to one topic and provides in-depth information on it. If your topic manages to provide the advice people are hungry for, they usually hook up with good backlinks and traffic.



Espousing a popular and trending point of view: Helping to deepen and expand a popular and trending matter easily helps to get attention for a blog! Because people always like to have their world-view affirmed, if your blog can articulate something a lot of people agree with, the people who agree with you will champion your post. Even the people who disagree with your viewpoint may still link to you, simply because their response won’t make any sense if they do otherwise. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter help such posts to go viral easily and the benefits are immense.

Powerful and relevant tips: Everyone wants to know how to get things done in our highly competitive world. If your blog can provide quantifiable lists of tips, it becomes very attractive to readers who want explained in just a few seconds what a visitor stands to receive in return for their attention.

Best-of lists: Many people rely a lot on expert judgment. If your blog authoritatively provides a resource list useful to many readers, it will benefit from bookmarks and even votes for it just on face-value alone. That is one credible and effective way to spark up traffic and links to the blog.

Powerful and arresting headlines: Many bloggers already know this. The more the power a headline packs, the more attention it gets. When others link to you, it’s usually done in the space of a paragraph or even a single sentence which caught their attention. Most times, a really outstanding headline is all it takes to get traffic and links to a blog.

Q&As with high profile experts: Everyone wants to hear from experts and high profile people who have made it. In that quest, interviews with well-known bloggers, professionals and successful business persons always seem to get links, comments and traffic particularly through social media.

Ranked resource lists: Products reviewers and researchers wield a lot of clout on social media. At each year’s end, when such people come up with a list of best-of products/services in their own judgments, they usually get a lot of attention. These people are effective because many people are constantly searching online and elsewhere for the ‘best’ of everything, a term that promises high quality. That is what attracts attention to ranked lists and naturally, debates, links and traffic follow.

Best Ways to Sponsor Affiliates

Affiliates marketing work station with a smartphone and photographs.
Way too many people focus on QUANTITY. They sponsor dozens, even hundreds of affiliates--which is great--but it is ultimately QUALITY that is the real key. Once you've found or developed 3-5 topnotch affiliates, you're going to see a lot of great things happen with your commission check.

How do you develop quality affiliates? It's real simple: WORK WITH THE WORKERS!

When you see people who are working SFI in your group, work with them! Tip: You can easily locate these people by checking your "My Movers" list on your SFI homepage daily. Support them closely, and train them to do the things you do so that you are creating duplication and maximum leverage.


Work with the Workers. It's of course more natural for us to let the workers in our group just do their own thing. After all, they got active without you even telling them to, they're already sponsoring new affiliates, referring TC members, etc. They don't need your help or support--or so you think.

Meanwhile, you're spending all your time trying to get the people who obviously don't "get it" to do something. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink--yet you continue to try.

You need to know that this is exactly the opposite of what you should be doing to build a successful business. I'm not saying you shouldn't follow up with those who don't immediately get active with SFI. You should. But don't spend ALL or even the majority of your time with this. And DEFINITELY DO NOT IGNORE your workers!

Indeed, the way you create those 3-5 "top-gun" affiliates that you need is by treating them LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON THEM!
If you're not in touch with your best, hardest-working affiliates at least every week (email, phone calls, chatroom, or whatever), I'm sorry, but you're trying to win a race with a car that only has one wheel!

How many affiliates will you have to go through to find your top guns? That's of course difficult to say. What I can tell you though is that they're out there (or are ALREADY in your group), and you'll develop them so long as you deny your natural instincts and apply the proper focus (work with the workers!).

Just like in a deck of playing cards, you KNOW there are four aces. If you start working your way through the deck, the first ace may not come up for a while, but eventually it will so long as you keep going through the deck. And if you don't quit, you'll eventually locate FOUR aces. It's the very same principle with SFI; the aces are there.

Keep sponsoring affiliates, work with your workers, and success will happen.


Tip: Don't waste time on skeptics or pessimists. They will NOT succeed in SFI or any other similar endeavor. They do not possess the qualities of a winner (this includes "rocking-chair advisors" who talk and talk, seem to know all the answers, but never act).

"Eagles don't flock--you have to find them one at a time."
