I've begun following the techniques above, can't recommend them enough. Its great to start seeing some traffic from the bots and then some real-life traffic! Early days for me but articles like this are great for the newbies! thanks!

Should you just cut your losses or carry on? My blog gets that but its been around years now. Is it worth carrying on or should I call it a day? Same goes for my other two blogs - one gets 10-20 visits per day (quite niche) and another gets ~100. Neither seem to shift. I've taken to bulk banking up my blog posts and scheduling them to post at intervals. Hope that the regularity helps a bit.

I think it points to a lot of same things I always preach to my readers - stick to the basics, there are no magic beans. I work in the article distribution industry and am still amazed at the steady build it gives in traffic. But like everything else online, it is a means not an end. All of the things you mentioned here, acting in concert, is what will drive targeted traffic consistently to a site. Well done. Brad McGovern Hey Kieron,

Great post. I think it points to a lot of same things I always preach to my readers - stick to the basics, there are no magic beans. I work in the article distribution industry and am still amazed at the steady build it gives in traffic. But like everything else online, it is a means not an end.

Inbound links 2. Regularly updated content and 3. Patience. too many people go out and spend all day emailing for links, then spend the next two days writing content, and when they're not No1 on Google within a week, give up. Many of my sites are still at the stage where I'm writing shedloads of content that isn't going to get read, but by sticking with the Content+Links+Repeat formula through the lean traffic times, the sites end up a lot stronger.
