Haa… Finally I’ve reach the part 5! This is the second last part of the “Discovering the True Wealth in Blogging”.
Below is the link to the last part 4 Parts:
- Part 1 - About Personal Growth
- Part 2 - About Friends and Community
- Part 3 - About Fame or Popularity
- Part 4a - About Design
- Part 4b - About Content is the King
If you haven’t have a time to read my previous post, don’t worry. I will try something out so you can read it thoroughly later! 
Let’s move on to this part 5 about Traffic.
Now, you must be having a big question mark on your head and start wondering, “Why Ignoring Traffic can bring more Traffics?”
I think Mani Karthik for BloggingTips.com had explained it well:
I shouldn’t have worried about the traffic or monetization.
All that mattered was quality. Quality of the posts and how frequently you delivered them but instead i worried about traffic, incoming links, page rank and as you guessed i had a not-so good in shape blog. Later, i managed to get over the “reputation” thing and concentrated only on my posts and their quality[...] Read more >>>
Yes, I’m total agree with the statement “All the mattered was quality”. Your Traffic water will pour into your blog when you have a Quality Glass to contain the Traffic water.
Personality Growth + Friends + Fame + Design + Content are the elements that decide the grand total of your Blog’s Quality.
If you have read the rest of the parts, I believe you have discovered what are they, and how to achieve them. It’s a DIY tips, absolutely doable.
When you successfully discovered the true behind the 5 elements (which will be vary on each people), You will found your own Quality. You will also found your Voice, which is very important for every blogger in the blogosphere.
Do I have my own voice and quality? Sure! But I cannot tell it clearly. Only my reader who will know exactly how is my Post Quality, and What is my unique Voices for them.
Voice and quality is beyond this post topic. So, I’m not going to discuss it here. I will create a special post about it based on my four months experiences in blogging.
Traffic will follow after you have a consistent post quality. So, it’s wise to ignore it and focus on creating more content.
“Consistent Post Quality” is different with “A Post Quality”. Consistent Post Quality is mean you need to create a continuously, day-by-day, high quality post if you want a sudden boom and keep rising stats in the blogosphere.
While Quality post is very flexible to tell here, I’ll just take some example in the field of my interest. I’m going to ask you now. What will a reader react to this below posts if he/she is a techie freaks?

Well, It’s just my nuts idea to impress people. I don’t know how you will react to the post that continue serving your nuts information. But, if for me, I will stumbled it, digg it, Netscape it, Bump it, it, it and it to make it real popular! 
Why? Because it’s unique. No body have done that before. And for a tech-freak, they sure need some fresh idea and information in the highly saturated technology area.
Well, Traffic is always about the quality on your blog. No Quality content, No serious Traffic. That’s the nature rules, anyway… 
Quality comes first, the Traffic will follow. After getting Traffic, You will need to Presell them carefully, and finally, you could Send them to your Money-Machine Landing Page or Merchant Page to earn some benefits.
Well, lets stop BS and get some real things for getting real traffic after you have a quality post contents. Below is some tips to build traffic to your blog:

Ops, That is something I don’t understand too! Well, to tell you to truth, Traffic’s main idea is quality content, but there is still some “black skills” that I don’t want to reveal here.
Of course, not every body capable of doing the black skills. Including me, that is not qualified. Even if I qualify, I won’t don’t it.
I’m not telling you that kennysia is using black secrets skills at all! Don’t misconception.
I’m going to make a research on where did he get those traffic. And I will send you a personal message.
