How to Build Blog Traffic In 60 Days

200In one day less than two months I have managed to write 200 blog posts.

This one, being the 200th.

I know this because after writing about 50 posts I thought to myself, “What else am I going to write about?”

Turns out, at this many, right now, you write about writing and how to build blog traffic.

So how did I get to this magic number in roughly two months of blogging?

It’s my job. My number one duty is to write 5 posts a day.

If being senior editor of this blog were not my job I wouldn’t have written 99% of these posts. The remaining 1% I would have posted on my personal blog.

If I were starting a blog today on my own I would follow this pattern of writing posts. I might find it harder to find topics to write about now but writing itself is much easier to do.

Why post so much?

Traffic, traffic, traffic. With my posts and the posts of John and Boonsri we’ve increased unique visitors, indexed pages, page views and keywords over 1500%. We’ve got a long way to go with this blog but by producing regular content that has interesting angles on technology we’re growing steadily.

Where do we go from here?

We keep on cranking out the posts on the topics that keep you coming here or subscribed. You can expect to see a fresh new design in the New Year, more video, more local startup news and other fun stuff we’re keeping under wraps.

Thank you guys for sticking around and helping us to grow Tech Startups! And thanks to the Network Media Holdings honchos for having us!

    Good post – I agree more articles means more traffic. The problem to me (considering I reached your site for the very first time ever and am therefore writing to you from that mindset, the article about Joo Joo) is that your site visually looks like a blog that posts a few times a month. I would not bookmark/follow your site based on the one article I read for this reason. I would suggest investing a bit of time/money into improving your brand at some point in the near future.

    Thanks for the comment, Robin. And thank you for the feedback! I couldn’t agree with you more. It is something that we’ve begun work on and will start rolling out in January. At the current time, at least the SEO got you here ;-)

    This was very helpful. I read before the posting on consecutive days is important too. Maybe this is a crazy question, but is it possible to overwhelm consistent readers with too many posts? Marly
