If you have a blog and would like to learn a fast and simple way for getting free traffic and search engine rankings, this article shows you everything you wanted to know, step-by-step.

Before we move forward I want to talk about getting traffic and why a good amount of bloggers get it wrong.

Up to 89% of blog owners think about traffic as hits, and put people all together. They’re looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the fundamentals – at the end of the other line there’s a breathing human being; with perhaps the same problems, and desires as you.

If these bloggers would not look at traffic as hits, and can give thought on who they really desire to attract, and who are they really talking to on their blog, traffic generating will not appear hard anymore.

Yes, for most bloggers traffic generation is rocket-science.

After you master the fundamentals, blogging for traffic will appear a total breeze. Just look around, and spot the pro bloggers out there. Do you think they’re searching for traffic? Not at all; they’re probably not actively generating traffic. They make traffic work for them.

Here is an illustration to make my point across:

Imagine blogger A [the newbie] on the other side of the road… attempting to draw in the attention of the audience [the cars on the street and folks around] holding a BIG red sign “Visit my blog ->”

Now picture blogger B [the skilled] who has a whole army of people and cars advertising on his behalf, each one across the road.

89% of bloggers are trying too hard to get their traffic; they’re publishing articles and writing blog posts; dabbling with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.

A little percentage of the bloggers out there recognize the power of leveraging so they’re taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.

If you want to get on the boat of pro bloggers, then you have got to act like they act and do what they are doing:

Step #1 – think BIG and keep your focus [know who are you really talking with; who's your ideal client?]

Step #2 – run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your field and business

Step #3 – never pay for advertising unless you have got your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know precisely your visitor value - click and lead revenue]

If you know that for each visitor to your blog, you are making $1 a month on average, then you probably can afford to pay fifty cents per unique visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit, right?
