That too without Google&#8217;s help? Bravo!<\/p>\n<p>In order to get traffic their websites, online businesses depend on search engines, and in particular, Google for website traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Even if some businesses don\u2019t entirely on Google for their website traffic, traffic from search engines is looked upon as God sent.<\/p>\n<p>Website owners look at search engine traffic as one of the crucial traffic streams &#8211; and in fact it is a good thing to have a consistent amount of search traffic. But totally relying on search engine traffic is not a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>As with anything, you should also diversify your traffic streams. Let&#8217;s assume that you\u00a0already get\u00a0a consistent amount of traffic from Google. <strong><em>Congratulations<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You might even focus more and more on improving your Google traffic, which again is a great thing to do for your business.<\/p>\n<p>BUT&#8230; totally relying on Google for your website traffic is not a\u00a0smart idea. You probably already know that a single Google algorithm update could make or break your business.<\/p>\n<p>As I say,<strong> there is no overnight success; but overnight failure DOES exist!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So in order to avoid those overnight failures, let\u2019s focus on getting traffic from elsewhere too, shall we?<\/p>\n<h2>Introducing blogging communities and social media<\/h2>\n<p>Blogging communities are places where bloggers, just like you, hang out. Hanging out in places where fellow bloggers hang out is a great way to help each other. And, the more you give the more you get.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Why small business owners should join blogging communities like DoSplash?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/join-blogging-communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blogging communities<\/a> like DoSplash are great places to discover great content by fellow bloggers in your industry. And then there is a golden opportunity for you to connect with that blogger.<\/p>\n<p>You might pay a visit to his\/her site, read the post, leave a comment, share it on your social circles and so on. This way you not only get on his\/her radar but you also just helped that blogger get some traffic through you.<\/p>\n<p>And the more you give like this, the more you get back. Other bloggers (whose content you shared) will now start to share your content for you and spread the word.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk about getting your content viral!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just like blogging communities, social media platforms are a great place to discover content, and also to share other\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p>On social media platforms you can share the content you found interesting. And when others share your content on those platforms, <a title=\"Get more blog traffic by doing something you enjoy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/get-blog-traffic-via-connections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can get traffic to your website from others\u2019 shares<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The secret to getting your content shared by others (both on social media and on blogging communities) is to share others\u2019 content. And you should not just stop with sharing, but you should continue to <b>grow engagement<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from finding and sharing others content, social media is a great place to connect with your audience, and fellow bloggers! It is a place outside of your blog where you can publish snippets of your ideas.<\/p>\n<p>You can publish interesting pieces of information, snippets of ideas and even engaging questions that could build up conversations in social media.<\/p>\n<p>This way you will not only share valuable information but you will also be able to understand the interests of your audience and you will be able to better serve them.<\/p>\n<p>Being active and being engaged in blogging communities and social media is a <a title=\"How to get social without social media (and achieve blogging success)?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/get-social-without-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great way to attract attention<\/a> &#8211; and this translates to <b>good quality traffic<\/b>!<\/p>\n<h2>Devising a not-so-overwhelming strategy is important!<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1132 size-full\" title=\"Devising a not-so-overwhelming strategy is important\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important.jpg\" alt=\"Devising a not-so-overwhelming strategy is important\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-220x146.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-406x270.jpg 406w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-376x250.jpg 376w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Devising-a-not-so-overwhelming-strategy-is-important-563x375.jpg 563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bloggers already have too much on their plates. Having to create and publish high quality content, promote it, work on products, re-purposing content, social media, responding to comments on blog posts and tasks like this already fill the plate.<\/p>\n<p>So having to visit social media platforms and blogging communities in addition to the regular blogging activities might become overwhelming over the time.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason this could happen is because there are too many of them.<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and many others. Each one is different and interests a particular type of users\/audience.<\/p>\n<p>So you cannot just pick any one social network randomly and go with it.
