In order to make decent earnings online, you need enough amount of traffic. Online income would depend on the number of visitors to your blog or website. If you are an Adsense publisher, you need visitors to earn. Obviously, you need proven strategies on how to get traffic to your blog fast.
Common sense: The more readers, the more chances of visits to your ads where your income is based. However, that’s not the only concern because you there is a need to consider your Click Through Rate or CTR (I won’t discuss it as of the moment). But as newbies, normal concern would be how to get traffic or readers to your blog or website.
I get a lot of queries on my CONTACT FORM which usually say: “Hey, I have a website but I can’t see a lot of readers.” Some Adsense publishers say: “I’ve been in Adsense for months but I can’t reach the minimum amount for payout (which is 100USD).”
So this article would show you how I do it.

Now, let’s go to how I drive traffic to my website. There are several SIMPLE ways by the way. Let me guide you through.
1. I made the site as simple as possible.
- I used a reader-friendly font (Arial), black text in a white background. Before my site was too cluttered, so I got rid of unnecessary widgets on my sidebar. I also limited the number of ads in my website.
2. I have chosen an SEO friendly Word Press Theme.

4. I take advantage of the power of social media.
- Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Google+1 are powerful tools to get your articles and blog posts out.
- With this in mind, I install Twitter, Facebook and Google+1 buttons on each articles.
- One retweet (RT) could reach 100s to thousands followers on Twitter. Each share/like on Facebook can get your blog out to your Facebook friends. (Check Manila Twitter Services if you want to increase your Twitter followers fast.)
