Did you have a plan for getting website traffic? Are you getting a constant flow of website traffic and is it making you money?
A question I was bluntly asked by a Tom who’s looking to work with us and to start a blog too. In my mind I was thinking, you could have all of 23 ways to increase your website, but is it converting?
Instead I looked at him and said, do cows eat grass and is their poop green!
11 Reasons you’re Not Getting Website Traffic or Making Money, PLUS SOLUTIONS AND MY TOP 5 TRAFFIC GETTING TIPS!
Yes getting website traffic is truly a serious business, a puzzle and challenge for many!
We’ve also had lots of inquiries on how we got the August traffic results shown here.
More important today is why your website isn’t getting traffic or making money! Several people have also asked me to Professionally Review their sites…for this reason!
Now we all started our blogs to educate Joe Public and make money…right? So why is the latter not happening when you pump out super value?
Allow me to share with you My Top 5 Traffic Getting Rules: or watch below
For without reviewing your website, I can only give you some general ideas why. And I won’t waste your time. Below are 11 reasons why you aren’t getting website traffic! I believe that maybe 2 or more of these could explain why your site still isn’t making any money.

[clickToTweet tweet=”If your headlines are lame, they don’t grab anyone’s attention. #Websitetraffic #blogtraffic” quote=”If your headlines are lacklustre, they don’t grab anyone’s attention.”]
1. Why you Ain’t Getting Website Traffic – Poor Headlines:
If your headlines are lacklustre, they don’t grab anyone’s attention. They don’t have your focus keyword, thus nobody is really finding your content even on Google page 20 you are truly not getting website traffic from search engines. It’s simple as that! Your headlines are what STOP and get people in the door. Even more crucial if you’re sharing your blog or content on social media. Stand out from the noise. Make sure your IMAGES and HEADLINES pique their interest. Clearly set out the benefits to your target audience. For help with this see “How to create Killer Blog titles that convert!” with 72 Killer headlines in an infographic for download!
2. Poor Site Design = You Won’t Be Getting Website Traffic!
We dealt with user experience as key once they’re on your website! If you’re getting website traffic and aren’t making any sales, then look at your design! From the word go we purposed to create a website with utility, aesthetics, ease of navigation and awesome content in mind!

3. You Ain’t Getting Website Traffic coz You Aren’t Creative Or Sending Untargeted Traffic
If you’re driving traffic to your web site via only the traditional ways, learn Traffic Hacking. Also if your site is responsive & aesthetically pleasing, then you may be sending the wrong visitors, or right visitors to the wrong page, depending on SEO…!
For Instance we are getting lots of Impressions on Twitter, And Optins as well… And they’re targeted the activity stats are astounding:
Yet a while back, we were advertising our e-book on Google Adwords and directing that campaign traffic to our homepage somehow. We lost quite a few potential sales not counting the wasted money on ads. Quickly fixed thank God! Moral of this, when promoting specific offers, send your traffic directly to the landing page on your site that provides the related information.
4. No Website Traffic – Yes it’s a Problem!
Are you Tracking and checking your Socials & Website Traffic stats? Most of our Tweets are our blogs, driving traffic to our website. You’re wondering why I am repeating myself…no am not! See if all you do is write whatever takes your fancy, even if its amazingly awesome expert content, that people badly need. But fail to ensure on page optimization. Then you hit publish and think the job is done. Sorry to burst your bubble! The job just begun…Promote, Promote, Promote, did I say promote the heck out of that blog post? If you do have a marketing budget, I suggest you drive traffic via Pay Per Click (PPC) to your site. Get those eyeballs on your offers and presentation, the more targeted traffic, the higher your site visibility and guess what you will start getting website traffic organically too…Yipeee! Actively attract visitors to your site via a variety of methods. If you don’t do this and you are pumping out great content well that till won’t be ringing fast will it?
The most effective method for increasing or getting website traffic or blog visitors is one you can control and track results. In my view this is pay per click advertising and social media ads; another form of ppc!
Just starting out? I strongly recommend you join blog tribes or forums like disqus, Tribepro, and lots of private groups on Facebook. Get social and visit as many niche related blogs, leaving valuable comments, attracting influencers and other bloggers. This will help build value links esp if you use your social as website links. Will bring a trickle of traffic from your socials e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc. don’t be a mean blogger.
The Golden rule of pro-blogging and getting website traffic is GIVE, give, give comment love, social shares, connect, reach out and offer help to other established pro-bloggers and a few good ones will return the favour…sending you some super awesome organic traffic!
I tell you now in order to leverage social media you dont need much! That’s what we always though until we read this powerful, absolutely amazing, value packed resource: the essential list of online marketing resources.
We were chuffed to find that our Post on Why Pinterest for your business is ranked as an essential must have under Social Media Marketing. You will definitely find a resource or 10 to help you along your online marketing journey. Yes you are welcome! 🙂
5. Not Getting Website Traffic Because You’re not Responding to Blog Comments:
This is how to get traffic to your website, goggle loves it! So get with the program. Here is the deal, if I visit a website, find some cool info, scroll down to comments to leave my opinion and find no response at all from the author…I don’t leave a comment & I leave, wont visit again! YES! You heard! Traffic trickle effect. How many people do you think do the same?
Also when you visit someone’s blog post with great content…DONT LEAVE ONE LINERS like “Great info, thanks for sharing” Really! If you can’t give a constructive comment, then don’t! You are hurting YOUR OWN TRAFFIC. Influencers and other pro-bloggers won’t be clicking on your name to visit your site either – its link juice. So you’re missing out on getting website traffic by being MEAN with your words and social shares!
Solution: As an author respond thoughtfully to all comments on your blog. This is great for relationship building and bringing commenters back to your site.
By the way as a blogger one of the best ways to attract blog traffic is to leverage influencer blogger outreach. Although it takes time and you have to go through the numbers, imagine the amount of traffic you could get if you connected with an influencer with a tuned in audience that actually takes action? We came across this comprehensive resource to help you with blogger outreach for faster results. Yes you are most welcome! 🙂 So, go make it happen.
6. Copywriting Problems Could be the Reason You Aren’t Getting Website Traffic!
If you’re driving traffic to great offers and still not getting much traction or making sales, then your marketing funnel may be lacking.
Solution:
Check your landing page OR
Your ad copy for grammar & spelling errors.
Check copy quality and length, too short or long is a problem.
You can also Check if your ad clearly communicates the benefits of your offer for your audience’ needs.
And check if you are advertising in the right place/forum!
The art of good copy-writing for profit lies in your ability to create great product reviews that focus on benefits – how your offer will improve their lives.

7. Optimize Your Existing Posts to Get More Website Traffic:
If your old posts have broken links, are not refreshed and just sit there, they aren’t getting website traffic or page traffic are they?
Worse still they could get de-ranked, even if they ranked when you first published!
So comb through your old posts ensure they have unique and relevant title tags, URLS and meta descriptions, add unique tagged images. Update the info, i.e. refresh them, promote them and keep your site fresh! For instance we have refreshed this post and updated it from when it was first published in 2015!
Here is a lesser known trick; demote irrelevant Google site links. These are automatically generated, but you can demote or unindex/unfollow URLS you don’t want to show. This may increase the chances for those you want listed showing up. Do this via Google Webmaster Tools.
Also how to get new traffic to your website my friend, by adding text to your blog post images –Include your post title and URL in your blog post images for optimal effect when pinned or shared. I see so many awesome pins, with no relevant info or link back to blog…! Tut tut!
8. You’re Not Getting Website Traffic Because You’re Not Promoting Others:
Golden rule of blogging, as propounded by Ryan Biddulph Author of Blogging from Paradise (Grab your copy via that link above for less than a cup of coffee) is; GIVE, GIVE, GIVE. To the right people/audience of course and you shall receive huge, more than you can ever imagine.
Some leaders are just not givers though. So find your givers. And Joint Venture with them. The more value you give the more website traffic you will attract. And the more money you’ll make. So how do you give back?
Here is a novel way: Create a top 20 – 100 blogs/websites post in your niche. Contact the blog owners in advance and inquire if they are open to that and whether they would promote the blog.
You want to get interactive, coz they promote that blog post I guarantee you will get a torrent of continuous traffic to your site. You may also want to create a simple badge or banner for those blogs/websites to embed again for promotional purposes! That banner of course points to your site…Link Juice baby! So make sure the blog or site is a good one!
You want to use untapped sources to get more website traffic fast! Good example, Our Site has been ranked as an Authority in Several Niches most recently in Top 40 Best Pinterest Blogs on the Planet! Of course we share and add those that resonate to our site like on the side bar and below!
9. You aren’t Getting Website Traffic? Are you On YouTube or using Video?
One of the biggest challenges for some people is getting in front of the camera! I know the feeling…Have you seen Paul on any video lately…! OMG don’t tell him, let’s keep this between ourselves okay Our secret!
Video Marketing is the bombdiggity; it’s IN, its cool. It’s amazing. Let me share with you my very first Video experience Here!
What I am trying to say is that you need to plan for getting website traffic. Because getting website traffic in competitive markets can be a full time job in itself, if you are using the organic route only.
To start with it could be the only way, but for heaven sake as you start to make some money, please invest in Paid Traffic!
You need to get this on autopilot don’t you…Well the sauce is in Video Marketing. Your evergreen sales man working for you 24/7 365, all online while you snooze, golf or snorkel!
Get on YouTube – and do it consistently. BE VERY TARGETED in your approach. Shelling out 2-4 min videos is all good, but don’t make it all about that. There is very little value you can share in such a period of time so don’t be misled. People look for videos of at least 15-30 mins when they need some information on a subject! So give us some meat will you!
YouTube along with Pinterest drive the most engaged traffic out of all social media sites, with an average of 2.99 pages per visit, via YT. See VISUAL more VISUALS please!
10. Not Posting Enough Content means you’re not getting website traffic:
Okay you decided to create a website, and to blog, right…So get regular blogging already will you! At least 2 blogs/wk surely you can spare the time. So many sources of awesome content not forgetting your very own Brain…A super computer packed full of wonderful experiences and lessons!
Go write, you must hit 100 posts fast to start really ranking and getting website traffic organically. Could be a trickle to start with, but this grows as you put out more better value content! So the problem of not enough content to get website traffic is…drum roll please…
Solution – Post more frequently for website traffic and profit – We’ve learnt from Neil Patel that by posting 6x/week high-quality posts (as opposed to 3-5)..OMG we gotta keep up! Apparently his blog traffic increased by 18.6% what! So what is your magic traffic number? Commit to hitting it and beyond, the more the merrier. I am sharing getting website traffic secrets so… We now post once a week…but the traffic hasn’t dropped, in fact, it has increased. WHY? PURE VALUE!
11.You’re not Getting Website Traffic Because You aren’t Following Up:
I’ll tell you a personal experience. I posted a vlog on a trip we took a while back and got a shedload of comments. Many expressing an interest how we do travel. I judged that these people were “being kind” or already working other programs and so didn’t pick up on their interest.
Guess what…3 people promptly joined our primary business with other people! And when asked why they never came to us…guess what they each said! That we hadn’t followed up with them when they showed interest in our vlog…! 🙁
They later asked for my help…! One big family I gave support, but you get the picture…
FOLLOW UP! Keep people in the loop… Be the first to enthusiastically share that nugget about a new plugin or resource that you liked, tested & got x results!
To build trust, let your audience and subscribers know when to steer clear of the ‘bad apples’ that they might otherwise be influenced to buy through your competitors. Don’t give them a reason to jump ship…Unless they so choose in which case they made their bed!
Okay meat and potatoes: if you’re driving traffic to your gorgeous high-ticket offer, highly niched page with a professional endorsement and still not making sales. You just need little tweaks…FOLLOW UP with your website visitors. This is extremely critical to nail those sales. Of course you don’t have to do it personally if you are oceans apart. Simply create killer follow up series via your email management service like Aweber for as little as $1!
Ensure you have great offers, with captivating headlines on every relevant post. Don’t make your audience search far to find your offers! Could be one of the reasons why you’re not getting website traffic or making money! CLICK TO TWEET
Well there could be any number of reasons why you aren’t getting website traffic or making sales. And there are several actionable ideas and solutions! BUT EACH of the reasons & solutions listed above is critical to your network marketing or home business success.
I promise you that once you start sending a constant stream of targeted traffic to your attractive user-friendly site; focused on benefits and your audience are eager to read your newsletters – you’ll start to attract plenty of sales and make lots of money.

Great post!
Glad you agree Renard 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
This was excellent, it made me feel very slack about my blog and has made me start to rethink even having a blog. I used to enjoy comments, but WordPress changed the way you access and respond a while back and now I dislike it intensely and has put me off blogging along with all the other glitches. I read this post with awe and dread, you have put so much work into this, thank you. Dropped by from #BloggersPitStop and it has changed my day, possibly life. Off to share. Hope this day treats you kindly. Big hugs xoxo
Wow Donna,
you do have a way with words. I hope We haven’t put you off blogging and definitely not commenting either. You have a great blog that many of us love, so dont forget that!
You Wrote any which way yo feel. When you get to a certain point you say shucks to SEO 🙂 xoxo

Hey Jennifer,
Glad we agree and enjoy the Headlines Post! 🙂
I am going to start responding to blog comments!! Thanks for the tip!!
You are most welcome Ruth! 🙂
Very good insights. When I first started blogging, I did not have the intention to make money from it. It was just like an outlet for me to share my interests. But when I found out that there are ways to “monetize” my blog, there was no turning back. Thanks for this article. I still found a trick or two that I can apply to my blog.
Yahooo,
We love a success story and we are glad you agree. Monetizing the right way, by following proven techniques is the holy grail 🙂
This is a wake-up call to put more care and effort into my site and posts. I get so overwhelmed by the writing and image creation, that I leave other important parts of the process behind. I could be getting so much more traffic! Thank you. 🙂
Hey Ronnie,
The right mentoring and coaching should help you focus on the Money/income trail rather than the aesthetics. You can only tweak and write so much…If no desired results manifest,you lose interest. How many blog groups have you seen die a natural because the bloggers arent blogging anymore…!
FOCUS on Income Producing Activities my friend! 🙂
Content is king for me! Also, it pays to include photos and graphics in your blog posts. 🙂
Content is King, but Marketing is Queen and we all know who is usually in charge, irrespective of what we see on the front end 🙂
These are definitely great points and I definitely wasn’t utilising my blog as much as I could have previously but recently have started re-evaluating all the content I create!
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Helen,
Glad you are reevaluating and hope you get what you are looking for! 🙂
It seems like blog traffic is a moving target, so it’s great to stay abreast of new ideas and techniques. These are great strategies to keep in mind when you’re not seeing the numbers you are seeking.
You said it Heather…Yet even a moving target has a stop point even if for a minute, and thats where those in the right spot at the right time grab truckloads of traffic until it moves again! And Business is all about the right numbers. Get them wrong and its painful to ponder! 🙂
Just like anything in life, it definitely pays to put some effort into what you’re aiming for. I think these reasons all have the right solution if you really work for it.
The Catchword is in the WORK carol. we gotta show up and step up. Thanks for your time! 🙂
What a great list of traffic generation tips. New bloggers who follow your tips are well on their way to gaining traffic to their blogs
Hey Mo,
We sure hope so for their sake. And thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I know my biggest problem is not having enough of the right content but I also just realized I do not comment on my comments ever. I feel like they don’t come back to look at them, although maybe some do and there is nothing. I found lots of help in this article. Thank-you!
Hi Gladys,
You dont respind to your readers comments? Why did you add a comments section then? The idea is to understand your readers needs, and serve them. People have been known to ask for more info via comments. If you dont read them, you just failed them and Your Aim. And left money on the table…all not cool things, right?
A very informative post and I love that you gave solutions- extremely helpful! Great tips- thanks for sharing!
Hi Tisha,
Glad you got value. You See, it frustrates us when people talk about a problem and dont give a solution, we aim to be different! 🙂
These are all great tips both for newbies and experienced bloggers. So the impressions are those who viewed your twitter page? I need to familiarise myself more with that.
Hey Sheri,
From Impressions come Clicks if people like what they see they subscribe and WHEN you serve them they BUY, its a process and if you are not even Showing up, You are NOT in the game! 🙂
Headlines are definitely something I struggle with. All those journalism classes I took in college haven’t seemed to make a difference. lol.
Lol Jane,
Journalism classes are mainstream schooling, Entrepreneurship is a whole nutha kettle of fish! Glad you got value! 🙂
Thank you for these tips! They are definitely useful. I’ve been wanting to get more traffic to my blog now I see why I haven’t:
Hi Aleah,
You are welcome! There are several reasons why one would fail to get traffic, But, these are the most prevalent esp with New bloggers or those who started off on the wrong foot! 🙂
It is a major pet peeve of mine when I see a great post that I want to share but the pin has no info. I will often not share for this e reason.
😀 hey Dr Elise,
We usually remove description of pin to reduce on the real estate it takes up on our blog…The Assumption is; if one has read the post and got value enough to Share on Social media of their choice, they dont need to see the Description on an embedded pin! Thanks for stopping by!
We have actually started to hide our pin images. So there is a pin image you just don’t see it Elise. When you click pin, you will see the beauty.
But hey, to each their pet peaves ?
Excellent tips, you deserve 5 star for this article on why bloggers aren’t getting traffic or making money! Great Solutions too!
Thank You Ankit,
Glad you got value and love it! We will take the 5 Stars 🙂

You are rocking it my lady, so Keep doing what you do. Its working!
Julie
Thanks so much Julie for the mention! Give and receive, right? Works so well. Enjoy your weekend!!
Ryan
Hello Ryan,
Great to hear from you. We sure internalized that lesson from you. Despite knowing it from our
scriptural lessons we still didn’t relate it to blogging. Giving and receiving sure permeates every
sphere of life.
A lot of People simply don’t relate it to their circumstances. Whenever you are stuck with something…go give someone some love
aka support on a similar journey and your doors will open!
If you hadn’t shared that Golden Rule we would still be sat waiting for that traffic!
So yes it does work.
Thank You for your continued value you put out for pro-bloggers 🙂
Julie
wow! So much value in here Julie! I am going to have to read this all again one more time! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you found value Jose,

Great points you make in this post. Thanks.
Well Carol, What can we say…Go Make those tweaks lady.

Lot of key points here. I was on a webinar the other day and the discussion was on the same things you wrote here in your blog post. Definitely a good read. By now, I’m sure most marketers know that traffic is the lifeline of their business. Hopefully they take what you wrote here and start applying it in their marketing efforts. Thanks again.
Awesome Kenneth.
Implementing is Key, testing and Tracking is King! And Closing is the Queen of getting website traffic 🙂
Thanks for your contribution.
Julie!
I enjoyed this post, Julie! You have it packed with awesome traffic tips! I especially liked the reminders to attend to old posts and to promote other people. Thanks!
Hi Keili,
You are most welcome!
See the Golden rule is an age old rule, Its in giving that we receive.
The more value you give, the more you earn. Simple.
It means giving attention to your old posts too, esp those that got quite a bit of interest…
Revamp them and you will attract even more new traffic!
Getting Website traffic is not rocket science..it really isnt, all it takes is purchasing the right advertising and placing your offers before the right audience. Its converting that traffic to FANS and CUSTOMERS that
needs skilling up 🙂

I am one of the many who when it comes to getting website traffic is truly a serious business, a puzzle and challenge, hence I am reading this.
Copy writing is certainly a skill.
Hi David,
We are glad you found a resource to help solve that puzzle. Traffic is simply finding the right audience and positioning yor offer.
PPC is the way to go definitely!
As an entrepreneur you of course have a budget for marketing right! PPC is where the sauce is at!
We wish you every success in getting website traffic!

Thanks for sharing the great tips Julie. I agree that when you leave a comment you need to contribute to the conversation. I delete comments that just say “great post” because there is no way to respond other than with “thanks”. I don’t hear very many people recommend refreshing old posts to increase traffic. I agree that it is a great idea – after all, most of the work is already done so it’s easy. Just seems that not many people have figured that one out yet.
Hi Ben,
Thank you for your contribution. Indeed refreshing old posts is a wonderful way to keep your website fresh too.
It also gets them out of “ARCHIVE” mode which is good right! The work is already done, update them, refresh imagery and
check for broken links. Boom
After all they got value for someone out there and we dont want them on Google page 20 😉
Most people just pump out new content when they have amazing old content fr someone new! If that content had lots of interraction,
it definitely means its still useful today and should definitely be reshared.
Julie

Glad you agree Stephanie.
Thanks for stopping by!
Julie, you always over-deliver with your posts!!!
Website traffic is SO important when it comes to blogging, and I see a lot of people still struggle to get any traffic whatsoever. When in reality, traffic is literally everywhere. You just gotta learn some skills and just go get it!
And incorporating videos is definitely a MUST. The best way to build relationships with your readers, and get some back links from YouTube back to your blog!
Thank you for sharing these strategies! You rock!
Hello Jelena,
Good to hear from you. Indeed website traffic is super key to our sales and business growth as internet marketers!
And you are very right Traffic is everywhere, all we gotta do is place our offers in the right places
for our audience to consider.
Skilling up is absolutely essential for an entrepreneur! Who ever went to an unskilled doctor…unless they were desperate!
Yet Highly intelligent men and women Start a business with an unskilled partner or Upline and then blame the company or industry or both for their lack of success.
Thanks for your contribution!
Excellent Content Julie, I have just jumped on creating video content.
My tip is, when responding to blog comments, add some of your keywords
to reinforce their relevance and remember to at keyword alt-tags to images.
Thanks You.
