One of the most effective traffic strategies that an A-list blogger uses to give a sudden boost to his blog traffic is leveraging special events, and festivals. It helps A-list bloggers pull immense amount of traffic in very short period of time. They do it for every major or minor festival, which gives them several spikes in traffic, and they even succeed in retaining some of the audience who came to sample the blog during the spike for the long time. Over the period of time, all these add up and result in permanent increase in traffic.

In this article, through the Christmas example I am going to tell you how you can use a special occasion or festival to boost your traffic.
