How to Grow Your Traffic, Follwers, etc
- Posted by Badi Jones on September 24th, 2008 - Comment on this Post »
I’m going to illustrate this lesson with the recent activity on my forum (Yeah, I have a forum), but I think this lesson can be applied to lots of things, including a website, blog, twitter, facebook, etc…
Here’s what happened when I went from not posting regularly for a few months (I went over a month without posting), to checking and replying to posts every day.
Simply being more active in what you do can make all the difference in the world. In my case, it was getting active in my own forums, but this also includes:
- Replying to emails
- Commenting on blogs
- Keeping up with your blog comments
- Tweeting regularly
- Writing blog posts regularly
Hopefully, you get the idea.
On a related note, here’s a video of Gary Vaynerchuk (Wine Library) speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo, NY on Building Personal Brand Within the Social Media

I am a regular visitor to dnscoop and I must say that traffic has increased A LOT in the time period you’ve pointed out. From my own experience I wouldn’t really disagree with you, but you seem to have got some significant growth out of being more active!
I check my own forum(s) every day, read every, and I mean EVERY, post and reply where I can, but traffic hovers around the same place for me.
Think I’m going to run an experiment of my own: Post as normal for a week or two, try not to post for a week or two and then (what i would consider to be) overposting for a week or two!

Please, post back here with the results. I think that the results at dnScoop forums also have a lot to do with a few really loyal members too.
