If you are a blogger who is looking for ways to publicize your articles and drive more page views, which in turn will be counted as a page impression then this would be a post to help you. Before to that you have to know what is a page impression or a page view. In a website or blog when you move to the other posts/pages of the blog or website from your landing page then that would go as a page view.
These page views would also help you in getting page impressions and in turn ad impressions as well. For example, if you have two ads in a page that you happened to visit, and if you have viewed two pages in that website or blog, then you will be counting two page impressions and four ad unit impressions
Not getting into the further details of why an increase in Page View is required, I will focus on what should you do and how you go about for increasing the Page View numbers.
Here are the powerful ways to do so,
1. Make Your Sidebars More Inviting:
One of the best things that you can do is to optimize the sidebars to make your blog look good to increase the number of page views. This is achieved by using widgets in the sidebars like popular post widget, recent post widget, tag cloud, category section, or recommended posts. This is much better than Ad Sense and advertisements as this will increase the number of times or the number of pages being viewed in your blog, and so you will be having a better page impression score as well.These ways will also help you in getting more RSS Subscribers.
2. Keep Your Ads less:
You can use ad units as you need some revenue from your blog but make sure those are not troubling your readers. If you really earn good through ad units then remove the in-text ads as these can be irritating to the readers which will decrease your page views also. Rather use widgets or place related links using related post plug-ins in the places where you remove your ad units and you will find increase in page views in no time.Golden Rule: “More Ads less Page views”

3. Use Page View Analyzing Tools:
This is good to know how or what sort of readers are interested in viewing your pages and will therefore, you can write more that will be inviting more readers to view your pages more. Learn what your strengths for increasing page views are and what is not good for reducing the page view. Remember, this will also help you to track your growth and will boost you eventually.
4. Speak Through Other Means With Good Content:
If you are not writing intensive technical things on your blog, then is good that you add a few relevant images and charts, which will push the reader to come back to visit your page. The image that you tend to use should tell what the whole story is about! With this secret in hand, you will find that images are more powerful as they invite readers skimming and spanning through the search engine results will try giving a click to view the other pages.5. Write Killer Titles:
When you are writing titles, the thumb rule is to keep them short, not more than 15 words and make them attractive by giving a hint that what will be the article about. Write titles that are focused on the central idea of the article. Titles that are catchy, in general ends with a question or an explanatory mark. Other ways of making titles interesting is to write in short using slangs to tell the reader what to expect from the entire article. Ultimately, you are going to relate this article to some of your older posts also these titles will pull the readers to click other titles present in the sidebar widgets.6. Remove Unnecessary Links:
It is good to remove unnecessary links or limit the use of other blog links at the bottom of the article and in other place where your users are more probable to drift away to some other blog. What you should do to care is to remove those links that you cite in the middle of your article does not drift away to some other blog. If you are accepting Guest Posts then do give the links in the Author Bio only.7. Internal Linking:
Use your older related posts and link them to your current article by using keywords and phrases. This will also make your article optimized for search engines and also will increase the number of page views in toto. For this purpose several plug-ins are available like Insights Word Press plug-in and many but I would suggest it adding manually.8. Use Your Article Power:
Stand in the shoes of the reader and write articles, this is a golden rule again. Write series articles, and leave this as a clue to the reader so that you will be better able to convey the next series of article, giving no time boundaries and the reader of the first article will be tempted to come back again to your blog, there by an increase to your visitor page views.Make sure you do not get stress when you write articles, check out the below post.
9. The Value Of A Serial Article:
When you are writing serial posts, plan and write the series in correct intervals and deliver them as promised by this way you will find more readers will become your regular followers. Many of them will turn back to the older posts for viewing, this way you will find an increase in the number of page views as well.These serial articles will also help you in getting more comments.
10. Highlight Your Key Posts And Categories:
As you will be writing one or more killer articles, then see to that you publish them in the key area of your blog and highlight or group them together. This way you can see a drastic change in the number of page views.11. Add A Search Function:
Never forget to add a search option in your website as this way you are going to get more number of page views.12. NYTimes Style Sliding Box Plugin:
This is an interesting plug-in that pulls out related older posts from your website or blog from the particular category. When you scroll down the page you will get a preview of the related posts in the pop-out sliding window. This has worked really well for many of the users, have heard it from many.You can check the live demo in the same page itself, go down little further more to see the pop-up box.
13. Highlight Related Posts With Image Thumbnails:
As picture can speak more than thousand words, it is good to integrate the image thumbnail plug-in that will pick up similar posts and highlights them on your page. The chances of driving the reader to read your older articles are more, thereby increasing page views.If you would like to add any more points then do add it via Comments!!
