I would say that getting 100 unique visitors per day is a pretty darn good milestone, don’t you think?
Well, I have reached that mark on this blog as of July 2009 (3 months after launching this blog).
Would you like to know how I did it? I didn’t use any tricks or gimmicks. I didn’t use any “blackhat” or any other questionable techniques. But what I did do was build a stable and credible information platform, along with just a few proven techniques to get more traffic.
One of the reasons that I am so adamant about tracking your traffic statistics is because it is a performance indicator.
If you are blogging regularly and using the SEO techniques along with the other techniques described on this blog already, you should see the traffic to your blog increase on a consistent basis.
As a side note—virtually everything you need to start and grow a blog rapidly is already available to you now for FREE on this blog.
While the Google XML Sitemap plugin for WordPress works automatically to communicate changes to your blog sitemap to the search engines (which enhances blog post indexing)…
There is one option provided by the plugin that you may want to configure to further enhance your search mojo with this plugin. This enhancement involves your updated sitemap communication with Yahoo.
Right out of the box, this fantastic plugin automatically generates and updates an XML sitemap for your blog and notifies top search engines that your blog sitemap has been updated.
Like all blog publishers, I constantly need original and relevant content for my blogs. Producing that material from a blank piece of paper can be difficult at times — even when you are well versed in the topic or area of interest.
Subsequently, I use the Amazon Autoposter plugin for WordPress to automatically generate book and DVD reviews for related resources (by keyword, phrase or author) that folks may want to explore.
