- Create your Blog and publish frequently
Having a blog is an effective way to generate traffic since it not only allows you to generate content that will be included in the search results, but also the publications can be shared on social networks, thus increasing the reach of your brand and generating new visits.
However, for this to happen it is essential that you generate publications relevant to the interests of your audience. Do not limit yourself to news or offers from your company, think about what your target audience is interested, in mass page creator you can create thousands of pages in seconds.
Also, avoid copying content from other sites. Generating unique content will allow you to maximize the impact of the publication, increasing the links to it and the number of times the article is shared.
Once you define certain topics that you would like to address, use Google’s keyword tool to title your articles in a similar way to how your audience searches for such content.
Regarding the frequency of publication, we suggest you create new articles every 2 or 3 weeks.
On the other hand, make sure that your blog has the ability to subscribe both by Email and RSS. In this way, you can transform occasional readers into loyal followers of your blog.

- Make sure your site is easy to share on social media
As we mentioned in the previous point, social networks can help you generate traffic. In addition to the posts you actively make, it’s important that users can share both your website and your blog posts with ease. The most effective way to achieve this is by installing the sharing buttons provided by social networks, such as the “like” button, the Tweet button and the +1 button.
