Just thought to write about how I attract traffic from Google. My major share of traffic from Google, i.e. 82% of the traffic is Organic Traffic. Direct traffic contribute about 10% and rest is Referrals. I generally do not get much traffic from Facebook or Twitter. So here I am sharing the 5 best things that worked for me to get good traffic from Google.
A Good SEO WordPress Theme
The first and the most important thing is to have a best SEO theme for your blog. For this I choose Thesis. Thesis is known as the best SEO theme for wordpress. If you don’t know what Thesis is, that you should head over to this post. Thesis has really changed the view of my blog. The time I switch to thesis, my Adsense got approved. All my articles start getting indexed. All Articles start getting good place in searches. So Thesis is the best way to attract Google Traffic to your blog.
Sitemaps
Submit your sitemaps to Google via Webmaster Tools. Now whats new here? Along with Simple sitemaps, you should also submit images and videos (if any) sitemaps to Google. This will gather some extra traffic from Google Images. You can use Google XML Sitemap for Images for creating images sitemaps. If your site has a mobile interface then you can also submit mobile sitemaps to Google with the help of Google XML Sitemap for Mobile. this will attract some mobile traffic too, to your blog.
A Good Web Hosting
Another most important factor which is generally under-estimated by most of the bloggers, is a good web hosting. I have seen many bloggers that opt for free or a cheap web hosting. I also opted for a cheap hosting when I started my blog. But as soon as my traffic got hitting 1000 Uv per day, I suffer to much of downtime and server errors. So finally I have to move to Hostgator Shared Web Hosting. Its obvious that Hostgator has the best wordpress hosting over the net and they can easily handle a traffic of 10,000 UV per day, without any downtime or server errors.

Content
Generally this is the most important factor to attract a loyal traffic to your site. A good content definitely will help you to gain good position in search engines and to gain quality traffic. I really can’t describe about what kind of article you should write, generally choose an interesting niche to write articles. As my blog has only 159 articles (including this one) this time, and many of them are copied from other sites in my starting phase, so I really can’t advice you on this. But believe me unique articles get more traffic then copied one.
Be Regular In Writing Articles
Always try to write one article per day. This will increase the daily visitors and direct traffic to your site. This will also glue Google Bots and other SE bots to your sites on daily basis. In my blog, I have 10-20 bots every time crawling my blog. This will also help to index your articles quickly.
I know there are many other factors for a good SEO of a site and to generate good traffic, but believe me the above points worked for me a lot. Don’t be amazed when I will say that I don’t use any SEO Plugin, I don’t emphasis on back linking, I don’t take any SEO services and I don’t have a PC.
