Blog traffic.

I'm im a similar situation OP. When I do nothing I get about 100-200 uniques a day. When I post my articles on FB for a hour I get 500-1000 uniques a day.
If you were to do that all day long you probably could get 5000-10000 uniques a day. With 1$ RPM that's 5 to 10$ a day, plus after a long time it'll advertise itself

Hi there.

I want to share something with you and I need honest answers, please.
I've created my blog 20 days ago and I'm regularly posting original content on it. I've downloaded yoast SEO plugin on my wordpress and all of my posts are with good readability and good SEO.

Every day I see different results in google analytics. Some days I have 50 views, some days 10, 5, 0, etc. My bounce rate is pretty low for now. (ooo:20)

I use facebook, twitter, tumblr, pinterest, google+, instagram to drive traffic. Also, I use quora and yahoo answers and stumbleupon.
HARO is my option too, but i rarely get a chance to write about something I know.

My question is, is it to early to monetize my blog and are those traffic methods good for driving traffic (for a beginner like me).
P.S. I consider writing guest posts in the near future and also I will sign up in my niche related forums to gain some traffic from there too.

I would really appreciate a honest answers. Thanks in advance.

Keep doing what your doing but look into a link building campaign for targeting your KWs. If you have great content and a solid campaign, the rankings and traffic will follow. Patience is key.

hey KireG! Great start mate! I think you should take a look at using a lot of free tools as much as possible until you see how it works for you. I like using SEO Powersuite to analyze and monitor my progress, especially for organic traffic.
For pure traffic generation on steroids try using Buzzbundle, which I have used with great results.. its like all your social and blog posts in one place. Just takes a little time to set up personas (I suggest you use real emails not yahoo or gmail) and you can generate a nice steady flow of traffic using this tool. I am sure you can just go to linkassistant site and check out their video tutorials on how to use it. Play around with it.

Additionally, you should keep on doing original content on a steady basis. By the way, SEO powersuite you can use for free, you just cannot save anything or export reports, but great to test it first.
You can use their web site auditor to analyze each of your content pages to rediculous levels of detail - far more detailed than the yoast seo plugin. Try guest blogging, and write some nice content pieces on new free blogs like wix, weebly, wordpress.com as well.. each with unique 3 or 4 pages of content. Add one or two posts, name the subdomain the name of your main keyword, add a terms of conditions, contact form and about page also to these free mini blog sites. Wait until the site shows up in the serps under a search for the domain name (which means its indexed) then.. make each of these link back (once per site - no more) using one carefully chosen target keyword to your main site.

You should benmark rankings in Google, Bing and Yahoo (use ranktracker from the same suite of tools) then after those mini sites go live, and they're indexed with the link active, you should wait a couple of weeks and run another test on your rankings. Sorry for the long winded post, but this is kind of what I have used and works really well for new sites. Just don't overdo it with too many of the same text in the links and multiple links from the same site - this will keep you under the radar.

Wow, than you for your contribution! I really appreciate what you did here and I will be sure to try these methods. Link building is still a little blurry to me, but I am sure that I'll get it soon. Thanks for the free tools you advised.
