If you have the best blog post that you want to make more popular, then you should start driving more traffic to it. Here are 6 strategies to drive more traffic to your best blog post:

1. Feature your best blog post in your blog

Let people know about your best blog post by featuring it in your blog home page. Put it in the list of must-read posts. Make your best blog post look so important and interesting. People that come to your website will inevitably see the link of your featured post and read it. Be sure to have a good headline because people won’t be interested to read your post if it doesn’t have interesting title.

2. Write related blog post

You can also write related blog post as a continuation of your best blog post. This will attract more readers to your post and it will also give you a chance to explain the topic further. Make it like a sequel of your blog post that people need to read. Inside the new post, you can refer to your best blog post that people need to read in order to get the complete information about your topic.

3. Distribute content and link to your best blog post

Create new content and distribute it to many article directories. Article distribution is a good way to put solid backlinks to your blog. Best of all, the more you spread your articles, the more popular your blog will be. You don’t need to do it manually if you don’t have enough time for this. You can use article distribution service that will effectively do the work for you.

4. Announce your best blog post on social media

Re-tweet or repost your link in your Facebook page. You need people to know that your blog post is worth revisiting. Also, your new Twitter followers and Facebook fans will be grateful if you refer your best blog post to them. That will be especially useful if they don’t know where to start on your blog.

5. Put your link in many bookmarking websites

Go to several bookmarking websites and put your link in those websites. This will be useful for you to plant more backlinks for your particular blog post. In the end, you will attract more traffic to it. Social bookmarking websites are full of potential readers that will read any type of content that strikes their fancy. It means that if your headline is enticing enough, the audience in those bookmarking websites won’t think twice to visit your blog and read your content.

6. Write blog comments and link to your best blog post

The last tip that you can follow is to find some popular blogs and subscribe to them. When they publish their new content, you should read it and comment on it. In your comment, you should link to your best blog post so that people can read it. However, you have to choose the popular blog carefully. You need to choose blogs that have related content as your targeted blog post. In this way, you’re not spamming your audience as well as the search engines by linking to unrelated content.

Those strategies will help you to keep your best blog post alive. By keep driving traffic to it, you will let people see the positive side of your blog, which will help you to attract loyal readers to your blog.

   I cannot understand why I should share my content to some other website. The content that I wrote must be unique to my site only & even if I will share my article somewhere else, I will put something like- ” ……To continue reading Go To:….”

   Awesome!! Your post is really informative and this is what internet marketers need to be read! Like you mentioned above, whenever I write content, I make sure that they’ve been tweeted, shared on facebook and submitted on bookmarking sites. But I haven’t tried to submit comments on blogs that directs back to the blog I made. It’s time consuming but will try to do of it. I know there’s no easy job for people like us.. It takes time to see the best result.. Thanks for sharing such sparking thoughts!

   Hi Mitz,
   Everyone loves a giveaway. Online promotions are a great way to attract visitors and increase your websites popularity. Offer something that will be irresistible to consumers and the hits will keep coming! Try posting articles related to your site on certain online bulletins. Include a link to your site at the end of the article. This will be a great way to get targeted traffic to your site.
   Regards
   Sara

   Great tips! My additions to the above: (a) Put it in your sidebar, as a ‘featured post’ or something, and (b) ‘republish’ it to bring/bump it to the top (I think you did this with one of your posts Mitz).

   That’s an excellent list, Rand, that everyone should print out and keep by them. I’m particularly pleased that you put Blogging so late in the list (and thus one of the most important). I still don’t think most people realize the incredible way a blog presents the same content in so many ways that are all indexable and distinct to the search engines. Given that you also have a news feed to help spread the word rapidly

    Its very true that Google, and probably other search engines as well, prefers fast loading websites and WordPress are unfortunately not loading very fast. I use WP for all my sites so i have experienced this. There are also a few good and free tools (for instance pingdom) that let you check your site speed and many WP users will probably be surprised when they actually see how slow their sites are. Stay away from the free themes and always go for quality themes with good support.
