How to Write Blog Posts That Get You Traffic

Posted on the 11 January 2012 by Therealsupermum @TheRealSupermum

We all blog for a reason.

I blog because it keeps me sane and also in the hope that some of the crap fantastic content I write here will help others in some way.

While some bloggers will argue blue in the face that they write for themselves, I will argue back that all bloggers thrive on traffic.

It can be a pretty shit feeling to spent hours writing out a great article only to find not a single person has even read the damn thing. I should know, its happened to me a few times.

We all like traffic and if truth be told – we all want more of it. I know I get a buzz from creating a buzz.

So how do you create content that generates traffic?

You have to talk about “something” that will make others talk. You have to create a Buzz.

I have found my most popular, talked about and shared articles to have one of 5 triggers

Here are the five triggers:

  1. The taboo
  2. The unusual
  3. The outrageous
  4. The amazing
  5. The secrets

So go ahead, give it a try. Go and create your own Buzz using one of my own Top Buzz Triggers.
