3 Trends to Drive Traffic to Your Blog

Trend #1: Post More Than 10 Quality Blog Posts a Month

So it means that more posts bring more traffic. But don’t forget about the quality and relevancy of blog posts. Always have your target audience in mind. Aim to publish at least 3 posts per week if you have enough resources and see how your traffic goes through the roof. Keyword and topic research tools are vital for this, as you can see the particular query volume and trendiness.

Trend #2: Try to Focus More on Compounding Blog Posts

Compounding blog posts don’t lose their relevancy over time. According to Hubspot, compounding blog posts (also named “evergreen content”) generate 38% of all blog traffic. Of course, you don’t have to publish only these types of articles, but be sure to permanently include those in your blog calendar. 

Trend #3: Leverage Paid Traffic

Using paid ads certainly is not something that is month-related, BUT more and more content marketers opt for this kind of traffic generation because the competition in the blogging industry is really hard, and finding high volume+low difficulty keywords becomes tough. 

From the SEO and money-saving perspective organic traffic is the best, but it can take some time and SEO proficiency to gain it and rank in the first pages of Google. So if you have a budget, paid ads are a really good strategy to use for gaining more traffic and acquiring new audiences. This can be Google ads, paid posts in Social Media, and other sponsored opportunities.
