Factors That Influence Gaining Traction From Your Blog
1. Consistent Posting Frequency
Search engines and humans who visit your blog/website frequently – cherish blogs that are consistent with their posting frequency. As part of the effort to boost traffic and reputation, pick how frequent you’ll publish posts (monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, bi-weekly, daily, and so on) and plunge to this publishing schedule.
The frequency decision is extremely vital, and as a matter of fact, a lot of posting frequency benchmark was created online to assist small, medium and large enterprises with focusing on the most viable posting inflection.
2. Calls to Action (CTA) and Site Integration
In an ideal business world, your blog is supposed to be directly incorporated in the primary site CMS (Content Management System) – thus, it should live within your site’s key domain. In as much as each of the newly published posts on your blog is counted and listed in Google’s search index, making the blog live within your basic domain helps in building site credibility and authority with the engines.
To stay on top of basic metrics encircling your page indexing, you need intuitions from web tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
Whether you’re blogging within your key website pages or using an external route, the key point is that blog visitors can easily link to pages of your core domain either through a strategic utilization of CTA (Calls to Action) or the key site navigation still showing up when a blog is being viewed.
Also, do you think with fewer posts is it good to start launching it in social media?

I agree. Consistency is really important. What I've noticed is that when you start out you obviously don't necessarily have the opportunity to integrate because you have very little content.
So, what I've found is that as I create more and more content I will go back in to older posts and start to link to recent posts if it aligns etc. And, with new posts I will link to existing posts. That is, I integrate.
Also, with Calls to Action I've just recently gone in to every post and updated this as I think I was a little passive (and also inserted affiliate links), but also, again when we start out we are busy building and developing affiliate networks etc and so at the time of writing content may not have these established.
Not sure if it's been worth it or not yet, but I hope so. My theory though, no point increasing traffic if you can't get your readers to engage in some way.
