Avoid Targeting Traffic the Wrong Way

There are ways some veterans drive traffic that lead to getting slapped or penalized by Google. Some leverage tools called "Traffic Generation Software" that result in generating fake or low-quality traffic. Google frowns at this and, thus, penalizes brands that try using such tools to generate fake traffic.

The same applies to blogs that use auto-generator tools to build low-quality or fake backlinks. They do expect to increase domain authority but receive a slap from Google instead. When a blog receives Google's slap, that's the end.

Offer Guest Posts and Accept Guest Bloggers

Guest posts are equally vital for building a high-quality following. When you start submitting guest posts for authority blogs, you'll create more connections to the audience through your posts. The quality of your guest posts will increase your reputation in the blogging world and will increase your blog followers.

And aside from the benefits stated above, you'll also get high-quality backlinks and search engine traffic to your site which will increase your search engine ranking in search engine result pages (SERPs).

Get Back on Time and Be Relevant

How quickly do you get back to your blog audience when they leave you comments on your blog? How relevant are you in posting content and comments? All these count a lot for building high-quality blog following.

There are blogs out there that look like dead ones as you won't get a response for days, weeks, months, or years even if you leave attention-grabbing comments on them.
