Don’t miss our section on promoting your posts via social media on page 13! I am so excited to have written Easy SEO for Bloggers, and I hope it’s as helpful to you as it was to me. Let me show you how to increase your blog traffic! When I started working on learning these steps, it was the spring of 2012. I was getting about 1,000 page views a month, and my Alexa score was in the high 5 millions.I’ve been picking up more and more knowlege about SEO, and it shows. I’m currently clocking in at about 4,232 unique visitors a month with about 6,304 page views. My Alexa score is now in the 300,000s, with a score of 97,000ish in the US (as of 12/23/13). Paying attention to SEO as you’re writing makes posts take longer to create for sure, but the point is it works. I’ve been blogging for well over ten years, and while I was having lots of fun in the beginning, these days it’s gratifying to know readers are actually finding my work. The extra time spent taking a few more steps is really worth it!
