5 Kind of Articles To Get Traffic Without Google on Pandalized Blog
After getting hit by Panda, your Search rankings goes on lowering and that’s the reason for decrease in traffic. So, when Google isn’t loving you the way it used to, here are different kind of articles you should publish to get traffic without Google even on Panda-lized (affected by Google Panda update) Blogs.
You may argue that when other posts from your blog aren’t ranking well, then how THESE articles will find their place. So, let me tell you that, after Google, you can count Social Media as a last resort. Not just direct traffic from Social Media; But as you know Google Algorithms now take into account Social interaction in search positioning, this would help you rise up. If you want to start blogging but don’t know how to start a blog check blogging.org.
Here is a strategy and type of articles which I am experimenting with to get traffic to my blog posts NOT JUST from Google.
1. Video Blogging
YouTube can be serious Traffic driving source if you harness its power in proper manner. You should try to make videos of your own experience, tutorial, or anything which could compliment your blog article. Then upload them on YouTube account and embed it in your post.
When posts aren’t ranking directly in Web Search, why not try Video Search?
Points to Note:
- Create your own YouTube channel.
- Add Blog’s name at the beginning and end of video.
- Give the Article URL in Video description to send the video viewer to your Blog post. (Important!)
- See any of our recent Videos on Blogsolute’s YouTube channel.
As Images in an article is considered as necessary element, Embedding Relevant YouTube Videos also improves quality and makes it more informative. So, along with traffic, you are improving SEO (Search Engine Optimization)of your blog as stated in this Backlink guide by NYC SEO authority.
Advantages:
- Increase Subscriber base.
- Improve On-Page Time.
2. Controversial Posts

Humans are easily attracted by controversy and negative things. When regular type of informative posts aren’t bringing any real traffic, twist it up, talk nonsense controversial. Write something against the regular and traditional way, make some comments on trending topic which would excite people to join the discussion.
This would help you catch attraction from people who otherwise would have avoided it. There would be some readers against it and obviously few supporting it, this would result in heating up of your comment section.
More Engaging Comments would increase interaction on posts which again sends positive signal to Google Algorithms that your post is worth reading, as this SEO company in India mentions in their blog. This brings traffic without Google’s help for free and even people tend to share such things more on their Social Profiles.
Points to Consider:
- Don’t hurt Religious Sentiments. General topic controversy would be better like “People Waste Time on Twitter because They Have No Life“
- Nonsense will neither be tolerated nor entertained.
- Be in position to handle arguments with strong defending points.
- Moderate Comments wisely.
Advantages
- Social Sharing
- Increased Number of Comments.
3. Contest Posts
People love freebies so, take chance, experiment contest post by giving away something to readers. Of course, in return, you will take something from them. Ask them to share your posts on social profiles, comment and subscribe to YouTube channel and/or newsletters.
Giveaway Product depends on your blog niche. You can give away some Premium WordPress Theme if you blog about blogs or some software product like we did in recent past.
Advantages
- Word of Mouth Publicity
- Increased Number of Comments.
- Social Sharing
4. List About People or Websites in Your Niche
When you mention someone in your blog, it is likely that the person will share your article or a link to it. Obviously, I shared the article, referred my friends or at least visited it once when my name was listed in “Top 10 Bloggers and Adsense Earners From India“.
Likewise, you can create list of websites too titled for example: “Websites That Inspired Me Design My Blog“. Such articles are bound to get traffic without much help from Google.
Also, you can try to pull some famous personality in your niche and post their Interview. That person will no doubt share with his social circle linking your blog post.
Advantages
- Link Backs
- Social Sharing
5. Guest Post

It hasn’t to be done on your blog but on a blog with similar or relevant niche or your friend’s blog. Approach people in your niche, friends and offer them a free article content for their blog.
Include your blog’s homepage link and/or one of the awesome post in the Author Bio in the guest post to be published. Readers of their blog are likely to click on your click if they continue to read complete article provided your offer them good read.
For your Information, We (Blogsolute) also accepts Guest Posts, you can use Contact Form or mail your article on rohit[at]blogsolute[dot]com.
Advantages
- Genuine Backlink building
- Good Relationship with other Bloggers.
Traffic Sources Except Google Search
This post isn’t about avoiding Search Traffic but to improve your image in eyes of Google and in the mean time get traffic from other sources except Google. At the end, I am also emphasizing on improving Search Rankings on Google.
1. Social Media
People have started using Social networks as News Source and Information hub so, try to be awesome there. Write compelling content which would force people in your social circle to click on the link and visit blog.
2. Offline Promotion
This is often overlooked and not used as a traffic tool by many but you give it a chance. Add a bumper sticker to your car with Blog URL, Wear T-Shirts and give them to your readers with Blog’s name, Print business Cards, Laptop stickers and do whatever possible.
Yes, that’s the bag I carry wherever I go. 🙂
Even this post is an attempt to get traffic without Google because I believe it helped you some or the other way (in case not affected by Google Panda). I expect a shout-out about this article in your Tweets and Facebook Updates.
