Traffic is important for blog …. isn’t it? I believe many readers will support the statement.
So, do you ever wondering on how to create new posts that bring traffic? Well, I do … that’s why I am making this experiment. It’s simple but true method to decide what topic you can write next for your new posts to get more traffic.
Interesting? Let’s start …..
The first thing we can learn about finding idea for next posts that will bring you traffic is to know how your visitors come to your blog.
There are several tools available to record traffic data but in my case I choose google analytics. It’s free and simple to use it for your own benefit.
The basic data of google analytics you can use to bring more traffic into your blog
Traffic source data can easily guide you to see where your visitors come from. Basically there are only few source they might come, first is organic, second is direct and third is referral.
In case of notordinaryblogger, there is no subscribers. I have backfired with the two language concepts. I found it difficult to set the best ways to build my subscriber lists with this concept. If any of you have suggestion I would appreciate it 🙂
Meanwhile I have to survive haven’t I?
With no subscribers the main source of traffics you can use are search engine (organic traffic) and referral traffic (by doing blog commenting, social sharing or guest blogging)
Organic Traffic
So, if your blog has no subscribers yet, pay attention on your organic traffics. Does it increase from time to time? If it does, that’s great then you should know how to create more contents that has high potential keywords.
Do you notice anything on what makes your organic traffic grows ?
It could be the keywords.
Based on google analytics report you can see on what keywords your blog best at a time.

From the screen shot above, the main keywords that bring organic traffic into my blog are :
