The answer to the questions posed above will help you get traffic. They are serious questions and may hit you hard if you're not distributing content material which is the least bit interesting.
The Key to Making Your Blog Popular
Content: It's all about content! Content is KING! All sorts of content ought to be put in your weblog to make it popular. There are a variety of blog styles that you'll need to become familiar with. Clearly, you will need to educate yourself to be a GOOD blogger and offer something for all sorts of readers that catches and KEEPS their interest. Do a video of an article then do a podcast too. Repeat the technique over and over again. In order to make your blog unique, you must write about subjects that happen to be enticing and current.
Tools: Make certain that your weblog is listed in other blog directories in addition to social network sites and Web 2.0 sites. I use a software tool that helps me do this. You may already know that I talk a whole lot about outsourcing everyday tasks. You have to find a way to automate all of these processes...and yes, it does take money to do that. You need business tools to be successful, but it is worth the expense! Sure, this process can be done for free, but I would venture to guess that you do not have hours upon hours on end available to manually do tedious submissions.
Social Branding: Do others know who you are? Do you have a welcome video? Don't make your weblog appear boring. Add YOUR personality to your blog site. Let people know a little bit about you. Pictures are a wonderful way of accomplishing this. Blogs are commonly a relaxed place. So, it ought to have a "sense" of informality to it...perhaps even fun!
"Contact" and "About" Pages: Honestly, in case you don't have these two pages, you aren't likely to obtain the necessary trust of your readers. Your readers want to learn about you and why you think that you are an authority in a specific topic, or if your "story" resonates with them. The "About" page is a terrific spot to talk a lot about yourself. So, certainly embrace this to the fullest extent. Have fun with it since you won't be writing about yourself too much with your daily article marketing on a personal level.
Marketing Your Blog Will Make It Popular: You should get started with your social-media marketing promptly, considering that it is the fastest approach to gain readership. Getting your blog indexed by search engines takes longer...a lot longer. So, take advantage of updating your Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and so forth with blog site posts and links to your videos. Invest some time with weblog commenting a few days per week to give your blog site some exposure and also go so far as to make friends with other people in your industry on their blogs. I get site visitors from my blog site comments AND I get backlinks too. so, be certain to include blog commenting as soon as possible. Heck! I had an idea, give yourself a backlink right now and leave a comment on my blog. ;-) Should you be up for the challenge, try guest blogging. This can be an fantastic technique to get exposure, traffic, backlinks and subscribers. Try a few blog searches to find guest blogging opportunities for example Google Blog Search and My Blog Guest to name a couple. At some point, you will need to commit some time and energy into understanding both on-page and off-page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. SEO is far too complicated, (not hard) to cover in this article, but stay tuned because I am in the trenches on this subject every day with my own weblogs. I must keep up to date on the MANY changes that occur. So, you will need to do the same.
To your success,
