Have you ever had such troubles: You have written many pieces of blogs and articles and you’re hardly seeing any hits to them? Before you give up, take a quick read of this blog which gives you some great pointers on how to boost traffic to your websites.

The first step is to generate a large quantity of high quality articles. Do not just post anything and everything. Make sure to take some time with each article you are writing and only write about topics that you feel comfortable writing about. For instance, I know that technology is a hot topic on the internet, however, I do not know anything about technology so I choose not to write about it.

2. Proper Text/Font style and background color is another traffic-generating factor. Ask your web designer to come up with various combinations of text, font styles and size, colors, etc. Try to come up with a web design that is soothing to one’s eyes and that is literally compatible with most computers available now. If you focus on one certain font/text, style and color, make sure that it is readable to majority of computer types nowadays. No matter how awesome your web design is if no one can actually read it from his or her own computers, then your site does not serve any of its purposes.

Make good use of keywords or tags. Repeat the keywords often in your article but make sure that the article still makes sense. Do not throw in random keywords as this will make your article poorer in quality and will then make your article rank lower on search engines.

Submit a site map to search engines. What this will do is give your site a better chance of being examined by the search engines. Most crawlers prefer a web design that is Search Engine Optimization-friendly. Crawlers must easily read your site in order for it to rank high in major search engines. Constant updating will also attract said crawlers to your site. With more visits to your site from the search engines spiders, your sites will gradually climb higher on the search engines thus increasing your traffic.

Post links to your articles in related forums, on your facebook or twitter page or in your blog. The articles that you have posted in related forums will receive the most hits because people are curious on the advice that you are posting.

Make sure to be active on whichever submission site you are using. If it is Stumbleuopn for instance, make sure to read other people’s articles, post comments, and add people as friends. This will increase the potential that your articles will be viewed by others. You will find that the second highest generator of traffic for you on Stumbleupon has been other Stumblers.
