7 Places to Increase Blog Traffic in 2025
So it’s the beginning of the year and you want to start off growing your blog. You have tried all the recommendations bloggers gave, but you still aren’t ranking how you want to. I am going to share with you places to grow your blog traffic. These sites are amazing and will bring in all the traffic you have been lacking. Let’s get to it “7 Places To Increase Blog Traffic In 2020”
7 Places To Increase Blog Traffic in 2020
BlogLovin
Bloglovin’ was not such an easy set up for me. You have to put a piece of code into a NEW blog post and publish it. You can not just put this in an old post and republish it. It has to be a newly created blog post that has yet to be published. Once this is done all of your posts will automatically be shared to Bloglovin’. Even though the setup gave me some difficulties, it is worth the try. Since then I have seen my traffic go up a bit. I will update this post after a month or so to see how it has been.
Blogarama
This is said to be the oldest blog directory. It is pretty straight forward. I did have difficulty setting this up. I have set my blog up on here. But I don’t like how it does not inform you the next steps, or what’s going on. You may have better luck then me with it. But it’s worth the shot, for free blog traffic.
Blog Post Vote Up
This is where you place your blog post. Only one a day. And other readers can view and share your work. They can also vote up or down. The thing I love about this site is even when the reviewers view your content on this site, it counts as a pageview in Google Analytics.
Quora
This is a site where people go to ask a question. They view suggested articles that were submitted to Quora to answer their questions. You can also use this site to Google questions related to your topic. For example, if you’re writing a post on how to grow your blog traffic in 2020. You would go to google and search quora how to grow blog traffic in 2020. You will see people ASKING this or similar questions. This is for you to provide great information to the person that needs help. Make sure to add a link to your blog post where they can read more on it. Tip: Give them 50% of the answer, link to your blog post for the remaining of the answers.

This is similar to Blog Post Vote Up. You submit your work and continue to view other bloggers’ work. The more you support each other, the more support you have. Read how to use Reddit and maximize your blog traffic.
Scoop.it
I love this layout it is simple and proven to work. Within minutes of posting to here. I had 5 pageviews. This isn’t much. But for only having my first blog post published for 3 minutes, it was quite amazing.
Mix It Up
I love this one too. Well, I love anything that is easy to use and that I get good results from. This one is one of my favs because you can add the Chrome Extension and simply add your work, with a click of a button.
Medium
I haven’t used medium yet. However, I heard nothing great reviews, about people receiving a great amount of blog traffic from this site.

Conclusion
These sites are great to increase your blog traffic. And they are all free. Some of these sites do have a Premium Pro plan, which requires a monthly payment. But that is only if you need the extra goods that they offer. But from my point of view and others. The free plans gives you all you need. I will update this post after a month or two and show my results since using this. Sign up to my email list below so you can make sure you are aware when I update this post.

Awesome post. I heard about blogarama but I never tried, I might give it a go and see how it works.
Yes, I have tried it and was consistent and actually saw the traffic pop up on Google Analytics as validation. Yayy!! Yes, give it a go. Come back and let me know how it works for you.
Thank you for a really useful post, most of the sites are new to me and places I definately plan to look into using.
I have started to sign up to some of these. It is early days but my traffic from Mix has already more than doubled my original traffic.
Yes, once you start using these sites consistently you will start to see an increase in your blog traffic. Stay tuned for a pt.2 to this post. The post will list what tool I use to publish to these sites automatically every day for you. And it’s not Tailwind or any other well known social publisher.
These are great tips! I haven’t posted to Medium yet but I have joined so that should be coming! I need to check out Scoop.It one. That sounds intriguing!
Ohhhhhh this is good .. I am going to try some of these.
This is great. While their are items on here that I use, there are some new-to-me sites on here that I have not used, as well of a reminder of sites that I need to use more often. Thank you.
I didn’t know Quora was still a valuable resource! I’ll have to reactivate myself.
I will be honest I havent used any of these to boost my platform. I think Reddit is pretty cool sometimes.
yes,first starting out i haven’t heard anything about them either. Hope you get your desired traffic with them.
I have not used Reddit in a long time. I guess it is about time that I did. I will also look into Scoop.it That looks like a great tool to increase blog traffic
How was your traffic when you used it?
There are so many blog directories available. You just never know which one is the right fit. Thanks for these suggestions.
Your welcome thanks for reading.
I use most of these to get traffic to my website!! I love blogarama, medium and Mix!
Thank you I can’t wait to try out Medium.
Great tips, will definitely check some of them out! 🙂
However, I have used bloglovin since about 2012 and there has been such a decline of the platform.. later last year even the apps got pulled out of the ios and android app stores (it’s back up on iOS), however I’m having problems with my blog (due to a change of the feed) and my oldest inquiry is almost 6 months old, with no reply yet whatsoever… They also used to host awards, but this was before they startet the influencer-branch, since then bloglovin literally is dead, which is so sad, it was my only blog reader tool, I have used it for hours every day! :((((
Hope you have (had) a lovely day!

Oh no that is such a bummer. That is a scary thing when your traffic declines and i mean really declines. I hope that one of these other shared suggestions will get you the traffic you had before and more. Have a blessed day as well. Thanks for reading.
I’m just hearing about Quora tip to drive traffic. I’m going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
You havw listed some great tips. Thanks for sharing
Your welcome and thank you for reading.
I will have to check some of these out! Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome and thanks for reading Beth.
Those are all excellent ideas for promoting your blog. I will have to look into them for sure! Thanks!
Yes, Matt any platform to build traffic is a pot of gold. Good luck with these sites. Thanks for reading.
Thanks for sharing these. I took the time to add my blog to Bloglovin but quickly fell out of love with it when I realized it doesn’t actually drive any traffic to my blog, therefore it doesn’t help my bottom line. Instead, they just make it all accessible on their site without requiring people to leave. I know there was a big uproar about it in the blogging community but I never did follow to see if anything came from that. I think the platform has great potential but they need to adjust their publishing to share only an excerpt and then send people to the original article to get a full buy in from the blogging community, I believe.
Thanks for your feedback and heads up Britt. That is what I like about Scoop it and a couple other listed. Even when it is viewed on their site it still counts as a page view to your Google Analytics. I’m going to play around with these for a bit and see what it brings. Thanks again Britt.
This is a great list. A few places on here that I haven’t tried!
Great glad to hear you found some good suggestions. Thanks for reading Rebecca.
True….Medium gets you traffic but just the right amount for you…not the overly-exaggerated type. I have plans of joining it soon.
Thank you for your feedback. I plan on testing Medium out for the next 2 months to see what I can actually juice from them. I will update this report then. Good luck on trying them out too. My suggestion is trying to use as many solutions possible for exposing your work.
One of my goals this year is to increase blog traffic. I have been focusing heavily on SEO, Pinterest and Facebook but it’s a good idea to check out Reddit and Quora. Thanks!
Great tips! Medium has been great for me to get traffic, give it a try.
This is a great list! I am for sure going to try a few of these!
You have some solid advice here, thanks 🙂
This post was very helpful, I didn’t know about most of these sites. I’m going to try them and looking forward to hearing about your results in a couple of months.
I’m glad I could help and thank you for being interested in the follow up soon. Keep your fingers crossed they all meet my expectations.
