Traffic is crucial to the success of every webmaster and blogger. No matter how good your content is, it’s still worth reading and the traffic makes it possible. This post will list 101 ways you can get traffic to your blog.

Driving traffic doesn’t mean just getting more visitors. Before starting a traffic -driven campaign, make sure you set goals. For example, if you’re generating traffic for your consumer website, you need to take care of demographics. Getting visitors, who are unable to buy is a waste of time and resources. Similarly, with blogs, if you can’t get targeted traffic from search engines or from referral sites, your conversion rate and CTR will be very low.

So let’s start with a big list of traffic driving formulas for your blog.
