Get More Visitors By Writing A Blog
By Theo McLanahan
If you want to get more visitors to your website (and who doesn’t?) you should look at starting a blog. Blogs are an excellent way to get visitors engaged at your site, and open communications with them. These tips will help you use your blog to generate traffic.
First of all, make sure you’re posting regularly – at least every other day. If your blog is updated regularly, you’re giving your readers a reason to return often. If your posts are timely and helpful, you’ll become known as an expert in your market.
Your visitors will come to your blog looking for answers to their questions. A regular posting schedule also help to develop your relationship with your customers. They’ll get to “know you” and trust you.
If you install a system like Feedburner on your blog, you’ll make it easier for your customer to stay up to date. They’ll be able to easily subscribe to your blog and they can choose how they want to receive updates – email, RSS reader, etc. These services range from free to fairly low cost and the setup is quite easy – you simply install a piece of code or a widget into your blog.
It’s also a good idea to have a “blogroll” on your blog site. This is basically a list of related blogs that you feel will help your readers. When you link to other blogs this way, they will see it and often will link back to your blog. This can help to widen your audience by reaching readers on other blogs. Just make sure the blogs you link to are related to the subject of yours.
One of the easiest ways to drive traffic to your website through your blog is by linking back to the site every time you write a new blog post. Whenever you add a new article to your main website, post a teaser excerpt on your blog along with a link to the full article on your website.
It’s also a good idea to link to existing articles from your blog, particularly if they are suddenly timely again. For example, if your website has an article about Halloween costumes for kids, post a new link to it on your blog every year around Halloween.
When you start using these tips on a regular basis, you’ll see an increase in visitors to both your blog and your website. Track your stats so you can see which methods work the best, and continue to do more of those.
Along with blogging, you should be using free article submission to increase your website traffic. Find out how you can make money by submitting articles on the Articles Gone Viral website at http://www.articlesgoneviral.com
