40 Ways to Increase Traffic to Your Blog

Join us Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Prayer and Praise Fellowship.

So, you have a blog.

Now what?

Great bloggers know it takes a strategic plan to drive readers to their site. It is not necessary to have a Master’s Degree in Technology to understand how to gain the trust of a targeted group of people. Emily Osburne started a blog two years ago that even her husband didn’t read. Within one year, each post received approximately two hundred visitors. Within two years, each post attracted 500 to 1,000 readers. She shares her insight and facilitates discussion about creating and maintaining a blog that browsers find, share, and add to their Favorites’ List.
