5 Ways To Increase Page Views Of Your Blog

There are two ways to increase traffic on your blog :

• Increasing the number of page views from the visitors you already have
  
• Getting new visitors for your blog

Here I will talk about the first method, increasing the number of page views from the current visitors of your blog. Increasing page views not only means more traffic but also translates into more revenue from the blog by capitalizing on existing traffic.

So, here is a list of 5 ways to increase the number of page views for your blog.

1. List the Recent Comments of your blog in the sidebar
   
   Your blog's visitors will always be looking for the opinion of other people about your blog. And the best way to highlight the usefulness of your blog to a new visitor are the comments on your blog. So listing the recent comments in the sidebar can be an interesting and effective way to make your visitors visit the pages on which last comments were made.


2. List the Recent Posts of your blog in the sidebar
   
   Put up a list of your recent posts in the sidebar. This will help in increasing page views because if a visitor likes a post, then he will definitely be looking for fresh posts in your blog for more reading.


3. List Related Posts below the post content
   
   A sure shot way of making visitors visit other pages, is to put a list of related posts just below the end of the post content on the post pages. Even if your visitors ignore the sidebar, they will surely see the related posts when they scroll down to the end of the post.


4. Interlink between related posts on your blog
   
   An effective technique for increasing page views is to interlink between posts on your own blog. For example, if you are writing about a topic on which you have written earlier, always try to link to the previous post. Also do trackbacks or backlinks to older posts wherever possible.
   


5. Use "Read More" links wherever possible
   
   Whenever you are composing a long post, use "Read More" links on the home page. This also helps in keeping your blog's home page uncluttered.

Try these methods and do tell me whether they worked for you.
