Every blogger faces similar issue. This situation occurs at a particular time, and it is a very delicate situation that makes us scratch our heads.

All of a sudden there's a traffic jam on your blog, people are no longer visiting your blog, then you start wondering, what went wrong? It may occur at the beginning, middle, or at the later part of your blogging experience. The truth is that we all face this ugly situation one time or the other.

If you have been a blogger for a while or you are just starting, and you are faced with this misery, and looking for a way to get out, are you in dieing need to get more traffic to your blog?

I have put together a simple list to assist you in answering that question. Before we go through the list, we need to talk about our motives.

Examine Your Motive First

Now, you own a blog, and you really want a lot of traffic? You need to know what your intentions are first, do you want to be in the position to help people? Make a change, or you simply want to become rich and famous?

If your answer is to become rich and famous immediately , then I will quickly advice you to quit blogging now. If you are actually blogging for your personal reasons, then that may be the actual stop to the growth of your blog. Then allow me burst your bubble:

People actually want you to talk about them, not boring them about you all the time.

Am not saying you shouldn't write about your personal experience, am simply saying you should be cautious of turning your blog into a personal rock star. Rather, focus on being resourceful and giving a helping hand to others.

The surprising thing is that if you eventually become a resource to others, you will succeed in being an idol to them.

Find below tips on how to drive traffic to your site.

2.  Make sure to use the KISS technique. (Keep it short and simple).

am simply saying you should be cautious of turning your blog into a personal rock star.

The thing with blogs is there are no definite defined dos and donts to running it. I know someone that makes his money talking about himself. He just doesn't talk about himself but he tells his audience that they can to hell! People love his unique "crazy" style and his followership swells every passing day. There's a method to every madness. Nice points you made here. Good work.
