Quora: A Great Source For Blog Traffic
Quora is a little known social networking site in many circles. However, it’s been a goldmine where traffic is concerned for particular blog niches. Quora is popular among so-called Geeks and Nerds because it’s a question and answer based site. Tech masters, start-ups and freelance writers (for instance) do well on the site and have recorded significant traffic influx from Quora.
Google is forever changing their algorithms. Whenever Google does its shake-up, bloggers can suddenly see a massive drop in traffic. This affects thousands of bloggers, even those who have genuinely helpful sites. This is why finding sites like Quora, which can potentially send you thousands of views per month, is a marvellous thing. Here are some reasons why Quora is a great source for
blog traffic.
Quora allows you to link to your blogs
Of course, no self-respecting blogger who has a reputable site will spam his/her links everywhere. However, Quora is one of those sites which allow you to place your link(s) on your profile without penalising you for it. A short portion of your bio (if you set it up) appears with every question you answer. All someone has to do to find your blog is click on your bio. Don’t make it difficult for people to know what you do. Spell it out on your bio and set up a clear profile. Are you a freelance writer? What is your speciality? Use keywords and your real name. Are you looking to be hired? What’s your experience? All these things should appear in your profile (as briefly as possible – naturally).
Quora enables you to shine within your expertise
The community asks various questions. If you want to help people with your expertise, you can search keywords on the site and answer any question you wish. This is why it’s important to answer questions to the best of your abilities. People are interested in those who can help and those who obviously know what they’re talking about. Great answers are rewarded with clicks to your profile. As long as your profile is filled out properly with your links, this will lead to traffic to your site. Apart from traffic, people active on Quora have also been known to get jobs, based on their activities on the site.
Use credits to promote your answers
When you answer questions on Quora you win Quora credits. You can use these to do many things, But the most important aspect of gaining credits, is the fact that you can use them to promote your answers and boards. Boards, like on Pinterest, are separate groups of articles, posts and links, based on your interests. I have created boards related to my blog niches – one board for each blog. Whenever I win credits I use them to promote my answers to questions asked – but more importantly, I use my credits to promote my boards. My boards have links to my individual blog posts within a specific niche. I can choose how many people I want to promote the board/answer to,
based on how many credits I wish to spend.
Quora is a real way of promoting your blogs without spamming. Have you used it for traffic yet?
