Where Does Blog Traffic Come From
Most new bloggers are wondering, where to get traffic and where does the traffic come from. Many people give tips what to do, but they never tell you how much traffic can you expect. Here are my recordings of how much traffic I get and how traffic has developed for my sites.
New Blogs Traffic
As a new blogger, most of your traffic comes as a result of your own activity. The most biggest sources of traffic are social media sites and blog comments. The traffic from search engines will be pretty limited in the beginning months. I takes from 6months to a year to really start getting a lot of traffic from search engines.
Traffic from blog comments
Traffic that you will get from blog comments is around 2-3hits. From some bigger sites, I have been able to get 10hits, but it does not happen very often. By commenting you can get some hits, but not a lot.
