Proven Ways to Increase Your Site Traffic

Feeling overwhelmed by all of the options for driving traffic to your website?

Join the club.

Don’t fret though…

The folks at Ahrefs put together a comprehensive list of tactics they used to help grow their revenue by +65% year over year. Outside of word of mouth marketing, their blog serves as their second-best marketing channel driving over 230k organic visitors per month.

Ok, let’s dive in.

  • Write about topics people are searching for: To do this, use Ahrefs Keyword Explorer Tool to see hundreds or thousands of ideas. The tool will show you search volume and keyword difficulty. They also have a content explorer tool that’ll show you low-hanging content ideas.
  • Write guest posts: Yes, it can be tedious and time-consuming, but writing guest posts will increase referral traffic, give you more backlinks, and increase brand awareness. Try searching in Google to find sites with “write for us” or “become a contributor.” Also, if you can find websites that have written about a particular topic before, there’s a good chance they’ll be interested in a guest post about a similar topic.
  • Promote content in relevant online communities: Facebook Groups, Reddit, and Slack are great places to start. Don’t get post happy though. It takes time to build trust in these communities. Make sure you cultivate a relationship with the group admin and adhere to the group rules.
  • Answer questions on Quora: Ahrefs has brought in hundreds of thousands of views by consistently answering questions on Quora. Head over to Quora and sign up today. If you want to find questions as it relates to your niche, we recommend the Ahrefs Site Explorer tool.
  • Appear on podcasts: Data tells us that 44% of you have listened to a podcast. Starting your own podcast is hard work, so why not look for podcast opportunities? Head over to Google and search for “top [your niche] podcasts.” Find the host and pitch yourself as a guest.
