The “Get More Targeted Traffic” Project
This past week I came up with a fun little project to drive more targeted traffic to my site and that of 5 other bloggers in my industry via guest blogging. You know I did a lot of guest blogging all through January and with that on my mind, I was constantly thinking of ways to tweak and improve my process to make the most out of each piece of content I was writing. That’s how I came up with this particular strategy that I want to share with you today.
Step 1 – Come up with 5 related guest blog post topics.
Step 2 – Find 5 blogs that are a good fit for your guest blog posts.
Step 3 – Write each post and submit it.
Step 4 – Once the posts are published, promote them via twitter, facebook, telling your list about it and writing a blog post about it like I am doing right now.
In fact, now is the perfect time to show you the 5 different guest blog posts. My overall theme was getting more targeted traffic.

Step 5 – Get your guest bloggers to promote your post.
Step 6 – Once you write a summary post like the one you are reading right now, as the bloggers to link to the new post at the end of each guest blog posts so interested readers can easily find the other blog posts in the series.
Step 7 – Combine the guest blog posts into a short report, being sure to mention each website that hosted on of your guest blog posts. Submit the short report via social media and report sharing websites like Scribd.com. Send a copy to each blogger and see if they will help you spread the report as well.
You’ll see this last step in action on Friday.
P.S. Don’t forget to stop by Friday to see the short report. Or even better, sign up for regular blog updates to make sure you won’t miss it.

Love your straight-forward, step by step approach, Susanne. I’ll be interested too, to see how this plays out as a traffic generator for each blogger. Thanks for including me in your project… blog on!
Thanks Susanne for letting me in on this project. Your post is very popular on my blog!
I had never thought of that before and will have to keep that in mind. I was only matching headings to keywords in the post.
The other is about internal links. I didn’t know there could be too many and will watch it from now on so I don’t have more than four.
Thanks for these great tips!
