There are many ways to get traffic to your blog. One of the ways I found it effective is to install a Facebook Plugin known as FbLikeButton.

It will display the Like symbol at your blog. You can configure to place it at the top and/or at the bottom of your posting. As for me, I configure for both locations.

If you click on the Like symbol, it will try to detect your Facebook name.

Once it detected it, it will display your Facebook name at the blog.

If you go to your own facebook’s wall(eg http://www.facebook.com/alwinchuah), it will display the blog title and the blog site link.

However I notice it will post the article link to your facebook wall only once. Even though you click a few times on Like symbol or a few days later you try to click the Like symbol on the same article. However if you click Like symbol on a new article from the same blog site, it will publish it on your Facebook’s wall.


Basically what is posted on the Facebook’s wall can be seen by your friends. If they are interested on the topic, they will click on the title. It will then lead them to the blog page.

Increase Traffic

So the best way is once you have posted your article on your blog, click on the Like symbol yourself. It will then display your blog title and link at your Facebook’s wall. Your Facebook’s friends will then be able to click on the link and visit your blog. If they like it, they will click on the Like button, your blog article title will then be displayed in your friends’ Facebook’s wall. If your friend’s friends.click on the title, it will lead them your blog. This is how you get traffic from Facebook.
