Many of us in MLM use a personal blog as the hub of our marketing system. We provide information, advertise products, and ultimately present our primary business to blog visitors. Generating traffic to the blog is crucial to the success of our business. Here are some ways to consistently increase traffic to your blog.

1. Post Content That is Unique Original content is a must if you want to be seen as different from everyone else in your field. New material is valuable to your readers and it is what brands you as an expert in your field.

2. Request An Action From Your Reader The article should be motivation for the reader to take action. You want the reader to do something when they finish reading. This could be to go to your site for additional information or receive tools to assist them. The request may be for them to go to a capture page where you provide some material in exchange for their name and email address. Whatever it is, they should be instructed to take action immediately.

3. Communicate With Personality Write as though you are speaking with a friend. You want this to be understood by as many as possible so do not use jargon on difficult vocabulary. Your writing and the blog itself should help visitors become familiar with you. Trust will develop as they get to know you. Use a style of writing that is casual and conversational.

4. Be Authentic Endorse products that you truly believe in. It is important that you have actually used and like the things you promote. It would be unfortunate to loose a potential associate because of a commission that earned you a few dollars.

5. Frequent Posts Search engines and other sites will keep your site ranked higher when you post often. You need to have new material at least once a week but 3-4 times a week is better. This will also keep visitors coming back for fresh material.

6. Choose An Area Of Focus Become an expert in some area of your business. It will help to brand you as an expert by allowing you to present information that is valuable to your reader and not easily available elsewhere. Your visitors belief and trust in you will increase with this and each of these steps.

7. Use Forum Posting 
Find forums in your niche and provide quality information for other readers. Include your URL or RSS feed in your posts. You can find appropriate forums by doing a Google search e.g. “travel forums” or “MLM forums”. Forum posting is a great way to bring visitors to your blog who are already interested in your business.

8. Link The Pages Of Your Blog 
Search engines will index your content faster if you link pages and material within your site. Every post and every page should link to other posts and pages in your site. This is a free and easy technique to increase traffic. The cumulative affect of these ten steps will be significant.

9. Visit Other Blogs And Comment You can create additional back links to your site by going to other blogs and sites and posting relevant content. Do this on sites with high traffic if possible. The other sites like it and you get a back link.

10.Use A Website Value Calculator
 Web sites like these determine the effectiveness of your site and can provide some valuable information. These sites are constantly sampled by search engines and will provide valuable back links to your site. http://www.cubestat.com and http://www.worthbot.com are sites to try.

Generating traffic to your site is a critical part of your business, these ten steps will be a start in the right direction.
