How to Get More Traffic from The Twins Effect

by on July 16, 2010 · 69 comments

Every blogger chasing more traffic everyday, try to find every possibility to get more traffic, quality traffic. Traffic turn to sale or traffic turn to click or traffic turn to money, you name it! or just traffic turn to comments ;) As Blogger, there always content and comments around us, most of us creating contents everyday, but would you leave comments everyday? The Twin, Content and Comment will bring you traffic and engage with other if treat them well.

For beginners, as always I represent my beginners friends here on famousbloggers. Traffic sometimes is so hard to find. Ten or twenty visitors is like a gift! Some blogger is already have hundred traffic for some reason. Expert already have their own audience, already have subscribers, already have their brand and credibility.

For beginners, they are too far away from brand, subscribers or else. So how beginner can get more traffic and visitors?

Don’t Forget The Twin, Contents and Comments

Blogging is about providing Content and spread the contents everywhere on the blogoshpere. What a blog without content? Become a beginner is always hard guys, but working on something we love like blogging is always fun. So let’s have fun to get more traffic.

Create Contents

Contents is always what we provide to our visitors. So what will make you engage with your visitors? I’m sure we all love good and quality contents, contents with step by step to guide us to become better blogger, contents that gave us solution, etc.

As long as your content is useful or make your visitors happy, you don’t have to worry about traffic or get more visitors, but is not that easy guys, creating good and quality contents surely take times as we need to learn more to know what our readers really wants. So doing it with fun and consistent with what you are doing and improving your content everyday is the key to your online success.

Blog Commenting

Until today, blog commenting is one of my powerful weapon to promote my blog or my article. So if you just published an article you need to promote your article. Blog Commenting is one of the effective and free way to promote your blog or article.

When your blog commenting goal is to promote your blog, you need to choose where you need to promote your article. Just a reminder, please find dofollow blogs, high Page Rank blogs,  CommentLuv blogs and KeywordLuv Blogs. Blogs with this criteria will give you many benefits if you leaving comments on your blogwalking activities like I did :)

Become one of the top commentator on other blog is a new trend now, as I’ve seen almost every blog provide a space to the top commentators. Chasing high traffic blog to comment will give you more chance to get more traffic especially if you are the first commenter with a high value comment.

OK, that is about commenting on other blogs, now its time to talk about commenting in our blogs. In my experiences, we need to encourage our visitors to leave comments.

I’ll talk about providing what visitors want with our blog, most commenter looking for benefits from spend some times to leave comment.

  1. Give them reward by Dofollow and CommentLuv plus Keyword plugin.
  2. Comment Management System. Please choose the best content management system for your blog. I hate went I want to left comment the comment system doesn’t worked or  long loading time or I need to log in first! Sometimes after I logged in, the comment system is fail or error! Its really made me upset! I’m not visiting a blog like that very often guys. So you must avoid Comment Management System like that.
  3. We need comment but we hate spammer. Use anti spam to protect your blog from spammer, find the right plugin to taking care these spammer.
  4. Comment Policy. Create a comment policy, so your readers know the criteria if they want to leave comment.
  5. Always Moderate Mode On. Always moderate or at least check all the comments on your blog.
  6. Always encourage people to leave comment on your article.
  7. Don’t forget to mention your commentator name when you replied his/her comment. People love when you mention their name and that is one of the way to engage with your readers. By mention their name, seems like we talk and we knew each other in person.

The Twins

The Twins, Contents and Comments works for me and I hope works for you too guys. I have high page rank and many quality links from the twin, creating contents and reward my commentators with dofollow and give the some luv with CommentLuv and going out the cage to leave comment with blogwalking activities. How about your experiences with the twin guys? Share your experiences with us here. Thanks

You know what, Latief? You and I and every other blogger giving advice (free or not) have been pounding the twins effect into people’s heads for so long you’d think they’d somehow get it, but they STILL DON’T! So apparently the bloggods have given guys like us the mission to continue to drive the message into their little digital brains.

(I could do two posts based on your points in #5 and #7!)

Very well said. It comes down to adding value to you customers. If you cannot provide something of value, why even bother. Your comments on other blogs should also provide some kind of value to that site as well. Simple 1-2 word comments don’t really add value. Good, quality comments will attract traffic to your site.

This is a plugin called “Subscribe To Comments”, plz make a simple search in Google and you will get it’s page! also you can change the text where it says “Want to be emailed when new comments are added?” to anything you want from inside the plugin options!

Hi Lateif,
Nice post. These twins are problem makers. Since my blog is in its infant stage, even one comment is like a gift. As you have pointed, a blogger also need to provide good content too. If not careful regular blogging may be like spamming our own blog with all the unnecessary stuffs being posted. And I believe, comment is the twin of Quality Content. ;)

It’s that one, two, knockout punch!

Create great content on your site (jab 1), respond to comments on your post (jab 2), leave a comment on their blog with commentluv (knockout!).

This creates the perfect full circle effect which drives initial traffic, builds a community and picks up additional traffic from your comment :)

Thank you so much for this – it’s always good to be reminded of the basics, and in fact, I’m slipping in the “content” department nowadays. I could be doing a lot less with commenting myself, and I think I will be doing a little bit less soon. Some comments don’t really go very far at all, sad to say.

Well… the twins are good and effective if only both works as a team. And there is always something that can be done to get the maximum effectiveness out of it, and I think I know how. Oh, and one more thing is congrats for the PR 3 in Google, but do anyone know what actually is “PR” means? I bet no one ever knew what it means. I’m not saying I know but since I did brought Stompernet before, there is one video that actually tell us what “PR” really means and that is: The higher your “PR” the faster Google spider will ping your site.” It is not about how big your audience are. Well that’s really true. You can go figure.

I think it is also depending on your blog niche, as with my blog’s niche, my traffics are generated because of my contents, i mean more contents = more traffics.

I didn’t get traffics from blog’s commenting though, but i still do love commenting of course. To meet new people and build links ;)
