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.
