Why Your Blog Website is getting low Traffic?

A great blog with valuable contents can bring you a great amount of traffic. This is the first and foremost step of putting money in your pocket. When you are working on a website it means that your blog or websites is the source of your revenue. According to a survey which was done by TechClient, small business who has a blog, they generate 126% more leads. Even the blog that was made as a hobby can generate a great amount of income per month. But it also happens that a blog is struggling to get up or in simple words no one is coming to that blog. There can be several reason of it. Let’s find out the reasons.

The blog is Too New

Yeah it happens that a new blog is struggling to get the expected visitors. If your blog is just a few months old, it’s very likely that your website will get less amount of traffic and it’s very common issues.

To love this problem, you need to be patients. Because even Google takes 6 months’ time to trust a website. So you need to give it a time to get traffic organically. Give your blog time to spread its wings. When it’s done stretching wings, it will start flying automatically.

Navigation is not correct

Navigation matters when people are coming and searching contents no your website. People will leave the website if they don’t find the content easily that they were looking for, though your website has the content on it. So, make sure the navigation system on your website is easy for people. Place the navigation bar and categories in front of the people on the website so that they can find easily what they are looking for. It also shows how which types of contents your website provides and has on it.

Long Loading Time

Yeah this is one the reason that people don’t come to your website. A website which loads under 80% on Google page speed is considered to get the lowest traffic. When I’m searching for something interesting on the web, and after clicking on that if I see, that website is taking ages to show me the contents, I’ll immediately leave that website and find an alternative one. This goes with the other people as well. They run a way even before looking at the contents.

So, to make sure your website loads faster, you need to have a good hosting like Bluehost or Namecheap, who provides a faster server loading time. And also make sure to use some plugin if on WordPress. Also always optimize your website codes and images sizes for better faster and faster page loading.

You Are Using Too Many Ads

Having too many ads on a niche website is not a great idea. If you site is filled with popups and adds, how do you think people will find something to read there? Wherever they will look or click they will see ads and popups! So eventually people will get annoyed and leave the site.

You Blog Is Not Responsive

Your Website doesn’t Have Any Share Option

Well, when someone likes your posts, they might want to share that with their friends or family. Like sharing on Pinterest or on Facebook. So, after reading the whole post, if they find any option to share your contents, do you think they will come back to your website? This is one of the reasons that your website is lacking traffic. Make sure your website has some functionality to share contents to other media. This will not only help you to get more traffic but also will make your brand known to people.

Unattractive headlines

Your blog posts headings do not draw the people attention. When a reader reads your post headlines they don’t get the imagination if the topic from it. So they become bore and leave the website without reading the whole posts. So? Yeah, to solve this problem, make headings that draw people attention to your post! Need example?

It does not need to be pay for marketing always, you can use the social media to share your website or blog there. This will bring good amount of traffic to your website. Try the social media platform like Pinterest or Instagram. Twitter is also a good place to try.

Stop Talking Too Much About Yourself

It happens when we are selling any products on our website, we try to sale our products on each and every post we write. This looks like a trap for the readers, and they start losing the trust on your website. So, they run a way! There should be a balance when talking about your services. Give people reasons to believe in you and your post. If you do this you don’t need to talk about your products too much, they will buy by themselves. If you concentrate on your meaningful contents to help people, you’ll get enough traffic.

You’re Producing Generic Contents

Though you’re focusing on writing about your niche idea but that actually not helpful to people.

If the contents does not provide some sort of practical help to the readers, then they will quickly lose the interest from your website. Make sure your blog solves the questions answer that people are looking for. Make soothing that draws people interest to you contents. Narrow your blog posts down to more specific topic.

You’re Mixing Too Many Topics Together

Sometime we see some blog website that talk about so many things. They mixed numerous topic into one website or post. That is not how it’s done. Your website or blog posts should contain only one specific topic if you want to get more traffic to your website. So try to follow just one specific topic while writing a post.

Lacking of Professional design

This one is more important than the others. You blog has the most impact on your audiences. I’m not talking about any fancy design, talking about a simple, minimalistic design that looks professional and easy to use and navigate. If you look to some famous website like the wirecutter, you’ll see that their website design is one of simplest. They only care about the easiness of finding their blog contents. The more people find it easy the more they read from your blog. This is the real truth. So go for a simple but professional design. This will make sure you have the traffic to your website.

Final Thoughts

Building and maintaining a blog website is not that easy work, but the more hard part is to bring traffic to your website and keep that steady. With time you will see that your hard work did not go in vain. A successful blog is the way to fill your pockets with money. So stick with it in a smart way, don’t just work randomly, make your plan and then start working on it in the right way. Best of luck.
