Everyone wants more traffic and drawing attention to a post is not easy but if you follow my tips you should have success in generating buzz for your posts!

There are several things we can do to draw attention with our posts. These techniques may not work in every situation but if you use a mix of them on each post you should see traffic come in on a regular basis.

Post Titles – They could be the one most important thing that encourages a click or not. If your title is not right then don’t expect any traffic to come (unless your very lucky). I have written about this many times in the past, one time on the 3 must do post tweaks post we had.

Sub Text – Not every blog uses snippets on the front-page like I do here on IBB but for those that do, a sub text is the short 250 character snippet that is shown on the front-page. If that snippet is not intriguing people may not click on the ads. One thing I have noticed is that when you use snippets your page-views per month will go up!

Use Images – Another great way to generate traffic but more importantly keeping them on your site is to use images within your post, it draws there eyes down into the post and hopefully they are more likely to stay on your site for awhile.

List Posts – People love easy to follow lists, by making a list post you could generate some extra buzz, a list post is basically what I am doing here with the post you are reading!

Consistency Is Key – One of the main things you can do to create extra buzz / traffic is become consistent in your blogging, try to do 3-5 posts per week (if you get a fair amount of comments) that way your blog looks active and not just full.
