I WANT TRAFFIC TO MY BLOG
-
Good evening. I need to create traffic to my blog. What help do I need?

Hi there,
Make sure your site is set to public. If you’ve only just done this, it may take 4-6 weeks for search engines to index your site.
To increase traffic:
One way is to use a mix of appropriate broad and specific tags. For example, if your site is about reviewing books, you might create a tag ‘book reviews’, but also a more specific tag ‘book review about [book title]’. Someone who wants to find a book to read might type in ‘book reviews’ to Google, so might find your site. Someone who wanted to know whether a certain book was what they wanted might type in ‘reviews about [book title]’, which is why the more specific tags are helpful. If you wanted to appear on the WordPress reader, make sure not to use more than 15 tags and categories combined; if there are any more, the Reader won’t index your site. You can read more about that here: https://wordpress.com/support/topics/
It’s also an idea to use keywords. For example, if your blog was a book review blog, use keywords such as the book’s title or themes within it. Make sure it doesn’t turn into ‘keyword stuffing’, though; if you use so many keywords that the sentences become unnatural, this could affect your site negatively.
It’s important to keep posting. Search engines like it when blogs are being updated regularly.

I just started with my blog less than a month ago but something that helps a lot is using tags. Try to use as many as possible ( as long as they are related to your content, of course) so people find you easier.
