How to Get Fifty Times More Visitors to Your Blog Overnight
If you're new here, please let me know if you agree with, disagree with, love, or hate my posts. Your comments and feedback will help make this site better for everyone. Just use the comment form at the bottom of any post to let me know your thoughts. Finally, as a small reward for those who take the time to comment, I've disabled "no-follow" so your comment will count as a backlink. Thanks for visiting!
Using posts on social media sites to get traffic to your blog isn’t anything new. However, most who try it never get the thousands of visitors they hope for when they make their posts. To hit traffic paydirt from sites like Digg or Stumble Upon, you need both great content and a compelling headline.
John Wesley did a case study over on Pick the Brain where he tested a new headline on an existing article to find out if he could increase the traffic to the post. His original headline, “The Two Types of Cognition,” got 100 visitors from the social sites. When he changed the title to “Learn to Understand Your Own Intelligence“ and reposted it to the social sites, he received almost 5,000 visitors. This was almost fifty times more visitors to the same article!
John gives credit for the idea to a couple sites, but you can see more examples of compelling changes to headlines on the post he mentions from Brian Clark’s Copyblogger. Here Brian shows a before and after of five different headlines and explains why he changed them. You can really see the difference a few changes make in some real examples.
Although you really need great content to increase the social ratings of your post, your content just won’t get read without a compelling headline. With both, you can get lots of visitors to your site in a matter of hours.

Top Secret Method of Building High-Quality Backlinks
While it’s common knowledge that writing and submitting articles to article directories can be a great source of backlinks, that’s not the only game in town. Assuming you’re capable of writing good content, you can often use your articles on other people’s blogs as “guest content.”
Try the following search within Google to find sites that accept user submitted content in your niche – just replace “your keyword” with well… your keyword. 
"your keyword" "submit * article" OR "submit * articles" OR "add * article" OR "add * articles" OR "featured writer" OR "featured writers" OR "featured author" OR "featured authors" OR "featured contributor" OR "featured blogger" OR "guest author" OR "guest writer" OR "guest blogger" OR "guest post" OR "submit * tutorial"
Let me know how this search works out for you.
