I have a health, fitness and wellness blog. Im wondering if you could talk a little more about how to get good traffic and backlinks to your website. I know my content is good, optimized and helpful, but I’m still getting minimal traffic to my blog.

I appreciate your response.

Thank you,

Thanks

Hi Kathleen! Thank you so much for reading 🙂 because of our current crazy schedule, we are not accepting unsolicited guest posts at this time. I’m grateful you thought of us!

Thank you for your advise Tamara. I am a passionate fitness and dance instructor from Peru living in Syd for 3 years with an IT career :*) but passionate about wellness and follow my dream in Australia. Thinking about to start my blog in my new website.

Thank you!

Thanks for letting me know.
Your pics look fabulous. I thought you do it via some expensive camera and lens.

This is the camera and lens I use. I shoot in both natural light outdoors, and fake light indoors, depending on the type of shot I need for the blog.

1) Comment on other’s blogs that are similar in topic to yours or with readers of the same demographic. I love reading the comments on other blogs and have found that I have discovered some of my favorite blogs to read by doing this. I think other people do this as well because I see huge jumps in traffic to my site especially when I comment on a blog that is talking about fitness/wellness in the post and the writer is asking for input.

2) Don’t underestimate your pictures. You don’t have to go buy a crazy expensive camera but large pictures are so much better to look at and will draw a reader in.

3) Use pinterest and pin your posts. It is amazing and can do great things to boost traffic to your site.

4) Say thank you. For the most part, bloggers are super friendly people who love to help. Not that they can always help everyone but if there is a blogger you admire let them know. So much time is put into these blogs and is always nice to get a thank you. If someone leaves me a nice comment or sends a sweet email and they have a blog I always like to go look at it to get to know them better.

xoxo, Tamara

Thanks,

I couldn’t say anything nice about our old hosting company, so I didn’t want to say anything about them at all 🙂

I had been blogging in a different niche and just started up my natural living blog.  It’s been great!  I’m using WordPress.org and I absolutely love it.  We use blogger for our family blog and there are A LOT more options with a self-hosted blog.  Plus, it’s easy for me to work with.  I’m going to be launching a Website in a different wellness niche and I’ll be using a self-hosted WordPress blog with that too!

I designed my blog and will be outsourcing it soon, as I am not trained as a designer and am not good with technical things, haha!.  Better to have experts do what they do best.  😀 

Thank you again for your post.  I am very excited to have found your blog.
