Thank you the information was very helpful. I've been having trouble getting traffic, but I'm trying not to get too discouraged.
Keep working, actually I started my blog like 10 months ago, so I know the struggles you go through with traffic. I use Social media to drive most of my traffic especially Facebook groups and pinterest.
Great tips. Thanks a lot.
Welcome.
I love the part about search. I’ve been on so many websites where I can’t find a search bar, but it’s so important! And sharing your posts... this was a great list!

Hi Angie, grateful for dropping by.
Great tips.
Welcome again.
Good tips. Especially the friends and family. I think we often overlook that aspect.
Hi Laina, grateful for your comments.
You had me until you suggested that a person should pay for traffic. I would disagree with this - BECAUSE that will typically increase your bounce rate and lower your ranking with search engines. But otherwise good post.
Hi Brandie, thanks for dropping by. Paid search is used especially if you are selling products and you want to drive customers say to your store but for a normal blog, I wouldn't suggest paid traffic. Google Adwords is what drives paid search.
