We all blog for a reason.
I blog because it keeps me sane and also in the hope that some of the crap fantastic content I write here will help others in some way.
While some bloggers will argue blue in the face that they write for themselves, I will argue back that all bloggers thrive on traffic.
It can be a pretty shit feeling to spent hours writing out a great article only to find not a single person has even read the damn thing. I should know, its happened to me a few times.
We all like traffic and if truth be told – we all want more of it. I know I get a buzz from creating a buzz.
So how do you create content that generates traffic?
You have to talk about “something” that will make others talk. You have to create a Buzz.
I have found my most popular, talked about and shared articles to have one of 5 triggers
Here are the five triggers:
- The taboo
- The unusual
- The outrageous
- The amazing
- The secrets
So go ahead, give it a try. Go and create your own Buzz using one of my own Top Buzz Triggers.

Interesting how many of us blog to keep sane – it’s like keeping a journal. That would mean secrets are the trigger or sometimes taboo. Nice tips!

That’s really interesting. I’ve been blogging for a few months and you’re right everyone cares about stats even if they say they don’t! I am at the stage now where I would really like to get more readers, so this was really interesting, thank you!
I wrote one post and was slightly disapointed when it wasnt commented on too much so i can totally see where your coming from xx
I tend to be a lurker
i read but rarely comment not cause i don’t want to i find it hard to figure out what to write ! I’ve created a few posts and some have had many comments and your are sooo right it does give off a buzz to see someone has taken the time to not only read but leave a comment x
