Getting quality traffic of targeted visitors to your blog is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for beginning and advanced bloggers. But really, having chosen a blog platform to build and host your site, you are light years ahead of any other web site.

Blogs are perfect for getting a lot of traffic because the search engines love them, and they integrate well into the web 2.0 and social media networking sphere.

Having said that, blog traffic getting starts with great content. Great content is what ATTRACTS people to visit your blog, and I want to point out two important factors that will help you gain momentum quickly with great content.

First, your visitors will stay on your site longer, because great content keeps them reading and even going to different pages on your blog so they spend even more time and you get more clicks.

Second, with great content it is easier to engage your visitors. They will lave comments, bookmark your posts, retweet your posts, and subscribe to your blog - either by email or RSS feed.

All this makes MORE traffic out of any amount of traffic you get, and that gives you momentum. Another reward of this is that great content - and the two effects that I mentioned above - will help your blog's search engine ranking for relevant keywords.

And so it goes on - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Get rich with rich, valuable, engaging content, and your blog traffic getting worries will be a thing of the past.
