Blog Traffic System !
When you are working hard to grow your blog, there is a situation where you have to turn your blog into a money making system ! Don’t worry, i am not going to sell any affiliate products.
I used the term, “System” because it needs to be a process and well defined strategy. If you are able to grow your blog (in terms of Traffic, traffic and traffic) then you could simply establish such a money making system.
- A recent research done by me released that there are, 5 Elements for constant blog growth.
Ultimately, your blogs income is totally driven by the volume of visitors coming to your blog every day. In practical, more traffic blog earns more money ! But even with lesser traffic too you could make that possible. There comes the “Relevancy of visitors” and how well your blog gets Targeted visitors ? Whenever we speak about traffic, we should speak about “Targeted Traffic”.
For example, a blog gets 10000+ non-targeted visitors is comparatively makes worse income than a blog which gets 200+ targeted visitors.
- The first step in setting up your blog into a system requires, Targeted Traffic !
To discuss further, i have classified the nature of blog traffic into 3 types:
- Surfer traffic – Visitors who just goes from pages to pages looking for information.
- Research Traffic – Visitors who are seriously looking for information (he may buy from you)
- Buyer Traffic – Visitor who are terribly looking to buy from your site

Effectively Making Money.
Once your blog is getting such quality traffic, you could easily setup a system. The system should involve multiple strategies. For example, when your blog gets 300 visitors per day, that should be starting point to monetize it well. Many people monetize their blog from the day one, but i don’t believe in that strategy. For me, growth first and money next.
So have a reasonable goal in your mind, work for that, achieve and then monetize your blog. It works well and your blog shines too with only profits for the long term.
Your system should utilize multiple strategies like:
- Don’t stick to few Advertising networks like Adsense, Chitika or Kontera.
- Don’t stick into few Affiliate marketing networks like clickbank, cj or any thing else.
- Instead, mix it up, monetize with both ads and affiliate products.
- Over a period of time, when you are mastering your niche, release your own product (a decent ebook is enough to start).
- Try out selling private Ads, create an Advertise Here page in your blog and quote price for each ad spaces. Try out any of these Sites for selling private ads, there are many to choose.
- Try out completely new strategies, for example, Revresponse which offers a different kind of monetizing strategy. It involves making your visitors to download offers and earn for each successful download. People don’t hesitate to download free stuffs.
- Explore your mind and surf through established blogs. Find out how they have monetized their blog. Follow the same. This one of my strategy, i will watch and analyze many blogs. This way, you will gain more knowledge to build up your blog into a money making system.
Final Thoughts….
To conclude, blogging needs lot of energy and you need to follow better strategies especially in driving traffic.
- Have a aim like, “i will drive 500 visitors per day within 2 months”, make a plan and work for it.
- Have another aim, “i will make 200$ from my blog next month”, plan it and earn !
Finally, in order to make a system you need huge targeted traffic and effective monetization. If you are able to do these 2 stuffs then your blog will automatically become a money making system. Whatever way you monetize, it rocks and earns you good profits for the long term !
