Do you know the #1 struggle for most bloggers?

Lack of traffic to their sites. Yes, that’s true.

Most bloggers start a blog, create content day-in and day-out and they forever wait to see growth in their blog’s traffic. It really sucks, right?

And I get a ton of emails from people saying “I’m not getting any visitors to my sites”, “my biggest problem is increasing my blog’s traffic” etc. I know how frustrating it is for anyone to continue blogging if they are not seeing any growth in their traffic.

That’s why I came up with these 5 incredible ideas that work like blog traffic magnets to supercharge your blog’s overall traffic.

Are you curious to find them out? Let’s jump into the details then.

5 Ways to Supercharge Your Blog’s Traffic Quickly

#1. Practice LSI over keyword stuffing

LSI means Latent Semantic Indexing. In simple terms it means, using synonyms for your primary keywords.

Most people think by repeating the same keywords again and again in their articles, they can get better rankings in Google. But it’s NOT true. In fact, Google penalizes the sites that do keyword stuffing.

Then what else can you do to improve your rankings? Start practicing LSI while creating content.

Here’s a simple example that differentiates between keyword stuffing and LSI.

​Keyword stuffing looks like this:

If you want to get better Yoga, join Yoga classes. By joining Yoga classes, you will learn a lot of Yoga poses which can help you get better shape. So make sure to join Yoga classes to live a healthy lifestyle.

Did you see that the main keyword “join Yoga classes” is mentioned 3 times in the above paragraph? Instead of doing keyword stuffing like that, you can do LSI.

​LSI looks like this:

If you want to live a healthy lifestyle, first and foremost find and join better yoga classes. Learn more about Yoga by practicing it daily. You can also find online classes for Yoga if you want to do it at your home. There are few courses for Yoga also available so Yoga isn’t a costly stuff.

See that? I didn’t mention the same primary keyword again. Instead I’ve used relevant keywords (that’s called LSI - Latent Semantic Indexing) to make that content look natural. And Google loves LSI pages and gives top search results.

Here’s a simple example of how it usually works:

​Hope you understand the importance of using LSI keywords. So next time, when you are creating content for your sites, start using LSI keywords to double your search engine traffic quickly.

If you are wondering how to find LSI keywords for your main targeted keyword, I have a simple tip for you. Use Google suggestions tool. Here’s a screenshot of it.

​See that? For the search term “top paid actors”, Google instant suggestions tool is showing me the above results which you can easily use to bring more search traffic for related keywords.

You can also use keyword research tools like SEMrush, Long Tail Pro etc. to easily find hundreds of LSI keywords to quickly boost your overall search traffic and sales. Yes, these tools are premium but they are worth every single penny.

#2. Write Listicles

Listicles (list posts) are evergreen. They quickly bring massive traffic if they are really interesting and informative. List posts go viral on forums, social media sites and everywhere else. Because people love to skim through the articles and that’s the reason why list posts are always popular.

Here are few quick tips for you to write killer listicles that bring you more traffic.

#3. Start Using the Skyscraper Technique

Brian Dean from Backlinko is the first person to coined the term “The Skyscraper Technique”.

It usually involves in 3 simple things.

Now, if you are wondering about how to do that, let me tell you briefly.

The first step is to find most popular contents in your industry. You can use tools like Buzzsumo or SEMrush to do that. Just make sure to find content with a lot of backlinks and social shares.

The second step is where you will start creating content around those popular blog post ideas. Spend a lot of time to make the BEST posts in your industry. Make them timeless and you will be on your way to getting a lot of attention from all over the blogging world.
