Writing for hits

I often read blog posts that give tips on how to grow your blog traffic. There's a bunch of terms I don't understand like SEO and conversion rate optimization. Mostly, though, they say just write interesting posts. So I sometimes try to think of what I could write that would actually interest other people. My life is pretty much the same day after day- get up, take care of kids, go to bed. So without many things going on in my life it's hard to find something that I think anyone would care to read. And then other days I just don't care if someone reads is or not, it just feels nice to unload some thoughts whether or not it gets comments.
