How do one get 5k or more traffic on a blog website?

The question I've received earlier doesn't say if the blog owner wanted 5k traffic per day or month but the detail is irelevant. Getting 5k or more traffic on a blog website is not easy but the advises are similar or the same for both situations. It is possible to get that content with consistent effort and the right strategies for your website.

For better traffic and more visitors the blogger you should be clever and keep writing often, daily or more times a day if you can. Post often and cool things. Having a good hosting and a good design for the website helps.

When writing you should choose a niche and focus on it. If you love it or you know it well is great. It's important for you to write about what you know or love and to create high-quality content that people will want to read and share or create backlinks to.

The content you are writing or posting as images or video (their size do matter when files and loading times are involved) should be informative, well-written and engaging for most or all visitors. It should also be relevant to your niche and targeted to your audience.

Optimize your content for SEO. This means analyzing and correcting the website structure, loading time and size if necessary and using the right keywords and phrases in your titles, meta descriptions, and throughout your content. This optimization help your blog posts and your website in general to rank higher in search results.

Promote your blog on social media. Share your blog posts on social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and Pinterest. You can also use social media to connect with other bloggers in your niche and to build relationships with potential readers.

 You may write guest posts and you should write comments for sure on other blogs or platforms (Medium included). Commenting on other websites (other blogs or platforms like Quora) is a great way to get exposure for your blog, to get more visitors and to reach a new audience. Some people are saying the same thing about guest blogging. When you write guest posts be sure to link back to your own blog so that people can learn more about you and your work.

If you want even more attention you can run contests and giveaways. They are a good way to generate excitement and engagement around your blog and the visitors can get something good for them and they will be coming again and again if you are offering interesting stuff. When you run a contest on your blog keep promoting it on social media or using ads and to make it easy for people to visit your website and enter it.

Keep posting cool stuff, keep do the SEO (at least checking and correcting things once on month or when you see them), be patient and persistent. It may take some or longer time and effort to build a successful blog. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately (in a few days, weeks or months). You should keep creating great content and promoting your blog, and eventually you will start to see more and more traffic coming in.
