Written by Garry Conn Republished on June 2nd, 2008
Blogs are like bubbles and the only way you can get your bubble to grow is to fill it up with something. Bubbles need air or gas to expand. Blogs are a little more complicated. Your blog, just like a bubble needs something to fill the void, content. However, the other added element needed, unlike blowing up bubbles, is traffic.
How do you get traffic? There are many ways. For one, you can pay for traffic. I’ve never done that, but many people do. However, what can you do to get traffic to your blog if you can’t afford to pay for it? How can you get free traffic to your blog? You have great content, you’ve got a nice looking blog, but you don’t have traffic… how do I do this? How do I get traffic?
That is where the buzz factor kicks in. There are many ways to generate a buzz. Some people offer contests, some people create blog memes and others write posts on controversial topics. Along with the various buzz building tactics comes a reaction. A reaction is the result of blog buzz. The reactions are either negative or they are positive.
Depending on what kind of buzz tactic you use will warrant which kind of reaction you get. So the key to getting traffic is by creating a buzz. But, within that, it is advisable that you create a buzz that scores a positive reaction. Otherwise, your create one hit wonder traffic, which are people who visit your blog and don’t like what they see and never will return again.
Here are a few off the wall ideas on how you can create a positive buzz on your blog. A positive buzz will convert visitors into regular readers. Regular readers create what I call a “Bubble Environment”. A bubble environment is an environment that is encased by boundaries. It is a place that people feel safe and some can even call it home.
A bubble environment is something you want your blog to become for as many people as possible. The more people who are in your bubble, the bigger and stronger your bubble gets.
To create a bubble blog environment, you have to understand that basics needs of people in regards to what people look for in blogs. I call this, SEMI.
Now, in the process of creating a positive buzz, you should remember SEMI and ask yourself this, “Is my post going to stimulate, entertain, motivate or inform people?” If you can get a yes for all four questions, you then have yourself an excellent post!
Now doesn’t that sound great? Much better than your typical random ramblings, cheesy blog memes and link list posts. It doesn’t matter what topic you have chosen for your blog, you have an audience. The best way to reach out to your audience is to give them SEMI!
Take what you have learned in this post and write one today that follows the basic rules of SEMI and watch the traffic start to pour into your blog.
You are well aware of the importance of getting traffic and readers to your blog. I have a huge opportunity for you to win a free review on my blog which will greatly help you towards getting a ton of traffic and a new wave of readers to your blog.

I have experienced Buzz from Social Networking and controversy and neither have really stuck. The best Buzz I have had has come from participating in recent conversations and then adding to someone elses buzz with your own posts. This way people come by and visit and sometimes actually stick around.
This is a great article and te importance of buzz and how to get it is something that we are all seeking.

Yet another great post Garry. I agree that positive buzz is the best, and most productive long term. Another method of creating buzz……..having your readers post your articles on their sites……
I LOVE IT! Great lessons I am learning from you man, thanks a lot.

Oh no… you’re getting on to me.
This of it this way though. Yes, indeed I get the word spread out with the incentive of giving out a prize but also there are quite a few bloggers out there that I have enabled them to take a few days off from blogging. (hint >>Shaners< <) Shane’s last three posts are high quality guests posts. Two written by me and one written by Aaron from Full Tilt Blogging.
So Mr. Shaners is living it up by posting all this high quality content for his readers to read while he can sit back and get drunk for a week. LOL (joking Shane.

Getting drunk for a week would suit me just fine, its BBQ season and beer drinking season. Moved the weekly Sat night dart competition night from my basement out to the garage!! We all smoke bad I know. SO keep the content coming garry so I can devote more time to the great canadian out doors and other activites.
