Good evening, did you have a great weekend?
The most important thing for a new or an existing blog is blog promotion, you need readers! I have been lucky to grow my traffic rather quickly, so I wanted to share some of things that you can do to grow your blog’s traffic.
The first thing you should do is promote your blog using social media websites. You can do this many different ways. A few things that I have done is link any new blog post to my twitter followers and set up an auto rss feed to my facebook friends, which automatically updates anytime I post something new. Also, consider using linking your new blog posts with websites such as delicious.com, stumbleupon.com, and digg.com. For me, digg.com seems to bring over the most readers.
The next thing to consider is doing link bait posts whereas you post a few lines on a websites and create the link back to your blog for the “rest of the story”. It is important here to take a look at high traffic websites to do this, you want to try and get as many readers as you can!
Creating a compelling or “attention getting” headline is a great way to get attention to your blog. Before you write your article, do a Google search to see if there is any other articles out there with the same title, if not go with it!
It is very important to “tag” all of your posts as well so when your blog does receive attention, the search engines can find your content rather easily.
Get the leaders involved with your blog. On the right side of my blog you will notice a blog roll with some of the industry leaders. When possible, interview one of the bloggers and turn it into a Q/A and post it into your blog.
Most importantly, make sure to comment on high traffic websites and other influential blogs. This is what I call “free advertising” and it really does work. However, make sure to make your comment thoughtful and not just something to put your blog link out there.
enjoy your evening,
