    Hello, I have a psychology blog and I want to drive traffic. If you have any advice other than blog posts, I’m waiting.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hey there, I took a quick look at what you have so far. We do recommend blogging, and I can see you’re doing that! I’d recommend revising your tagging strategy, though. Right now your tags consist of entire phrases that people might look for in a search engine if they had a specific question. Try incorporating those search-friendly phrases into the article itself instead (as section headers or in pull quotes, for example, with answers of course!).

    For tagging, you’ll want to aim for topics folks are already following or browsing, avoiding very specific multi-word phrases unless you know it’s a popular topic. Try using broad topics, like ‘psychology’, and somewhat more specific tags too, like ‘childhood development’ or ‘tantrums’ — but still not phrases as those are too specific to have traffic. Also, please be sure to not add too many tags. We have tips on that here: https://wordpress.com/dailypost/2015/02/12/tagging-shelf-life/

    And for more general traffic tips, this article is a great place to start: https://wordpress.com/support/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

    Hoping this helps!
