Most effective ways to drive traffic to your blog

Most effective ways to drive traffic to your blog

There are literally hundreds of ways to drive traffic to your Blog. Here we have published the 44 most effective ways of getting visitors to any blog.

Enjoy!

1. Be active in Forums and use a Forum Signature including a link to your Blog.

Don’t try to spam forums just to get a link to your blog… you need to contribute great content and help others in the forum, then they will regard you as an expert and visit your Blog more likely.

2. Submit your blog to Blog Directories.

Search on google for the biggest Blog Directories and submit your blog there manually. Aim to get listed in at least 10 good directories.

20 Essential Blog Directories

3. Submit your RSS Feed to Feed Directories.

You can use automated or semi-automated software to do this or you can do it manually just like you did with the Blog Directories.

RSS Directories

4. Claim your Blog at Technorati.

Get an account at Technorati and claim your blog there. Tehcnorati is a must use for every serious blogger.

5. Cross Link with other Blog Owners.

Your blog has a Blogroll… so you can exchange links with other bloggers in your niche on your blogroll.

6. Bookmark your Blog posts.

Go to SocialPoster and bookmark your best blog posts.

7. Distribute articles including the “About the Author” part with a link to your Blog.

You can use the ISnare article distribution service to get your article listed in hundreds of article directories. They also submit your article to many newsletter publishers. This strategy alone can create a huge viral constant flow of traffic to your blog.

8. Create an account at MyBlogLog and use their Widget on your blog.

MyBlogLog is a social community. You can get a constant flow of traffic through them by making friends with other bloggers and building your community.

9. Post useful Comments on other Blogs.

Don’t leave short comments like “hey I like your post”… rather write long comments and start a discussion… Blogs are made for people to interact.

10. Use Ping Services

Wordpress automatically pings when you make a new post but you can improve this automated Ping service by using the MBP-Ping-Optimzer and an improved list of ping services.

11. TrackBack other Blogs.

Link to other Blogs in your posts and send them a trackback. Before you do so make sure that their blog accepts trackbacks. Sometimes you can do a PingBack instead of a TrackBack.

12. Notify your opt-in list subscribers about your latest blog posts.

Of course you should have an opt-in list on your blog to catch the name and email address from your readers. Make sure you send them a message when you have new content on your blog. The best visitors are returning visitors!

13. Have a Signature with a link to your Blog in every email you send out with any email program.

That’s something many people don’t do… they miss out on a lot of traffic. Even if you answer just a support question or communicate with your friends, always have your Blog URL at the end of the emails (better would be your contact information plus all your main blogs and websites urls)

14. Create and distribute viral ebooks that include a link to your Blog.

You can write 20 pages short reports or ebooks and make them viral by letting other people give it away for free. Include your blog url throughout these viral reports and you’ll soon get tons of viral traffic.

15. Build a Squidoo Lense and put a link to your Blog on that.

Squidoo pages are great to get 1-way links to your blog. Google loves Squidoo Pages and often you are ranked within the Top 10 for long-tail keywords. That means you’ll get direct traffic to your Squidoo lense and a part of that traffic will follow the links to your Blog.

16. Build a Hub Page and put a link to your Blog on that.

Same here as the Squidoo Lenses.

17. Create and distribute a video, include a link to your Blog in this video.

People love to watch videos and they love to share videos. If you are good, then your video might go viral and you’ll get lots of visitors to your blog. You should have a short URL that people can remember and type into their browser bar.

18. Create an account at social pages like MySpace or Facebook – put a link to your Blog into your Profile.

I guess you know what social marketing is… send some of that traffic to your Blog to build up a loyal readership.

19. Signup for EntreCard and add their widget to your Blog.

Entrecard can be a huge source of traffic but you need to invest about 10 minutes each day to be active and drop some cards.

20. Register your Blog at BlogCatalog and put their widget on your Blog.

Your blog simply must be in the Blog Catalog. You can get a nice flow of traffic from them after a while.

21. Signup for BlogRush and put their widget on your Blog.

Blogrush is a no-brainer… I just wonder why there are not more services out there like this.

22. Submit a XML sitemap of your Blog to Google Webmasters

You don’t need to do that, but if you know that some of your pages are not spidered yet, then this will get them indexed pretty soon.

23. Provide good content on your Blog.

Duh!

24. Be the first one who publishes a newsworthy story.

O.K., it’s hard to be the very first one who publishes a big story… but there are smaller newsworthy stories, maybe even local stories depending on your niche.

25. Publish content on a regular basis.

Come on, one post per week is not much… better would be to post on a daily basis if you can do it.

26. Install the most important WordPress Plugins.

Why WordPress is an SEO Friendly Blog Site

Why WordPress is an SEO Friendly Blog Site

WordPress.com is arguably the most SEO friendly blog site on the net. The features that it comes with make it easy for search engines to navigate through the various pages, posts, categories, tags, links and other content in your blog. The easier it is for a search engine to do this, the easier it will be for potential readers find your blog.  

WordPress Tools

Right from the get-go, the basic WordPress blog comes pre-equipped with a variety of handy SEO tools. These include use of .htaccess so that you can create permalinks and customize your website themes among other things. The blogrolling, pinging and third-party plug-ins are also easy to use and allow you to optimize every aspect of your blog for SEO purposes.

How SEO works
The success of any website, commercial or not, is to have a steady stream of organic traffic. In the context of blogs, SEO is about making your blog site visible and accessible to search engines, and thus to internet users so that you can generate this steady stream of organic traffic.

If a search engine has a hard time navigating your site, it will not rank it very high on the search engine results page, and thus, your potential readers won’t be able to find you. Good SEO makes it easy for search engines to find and navigate through your site, allowing search engine spiders to move easily from page to page, gathering relevant information for searches.

The navigational structure of WordPress blogs is perfectly suited for search engines. The navigational links connect categories, archives and other pages on your site together, making it easy for search engines to move from one page to another while gathering data.

A search engine gathers data from your site by reading through the text content of a page. But it doesn’t just read the main body of content. It also reads navigational links, link tags, video and image tags, and any other kind of text. WordPress lets you easily write and optimize these, so that even if a page on your blog contains only pictures or video, it can still be “read” and used by search engines.

Search engines also rank your site in search results according to how many other sites link to it. Having popular sites and blogs linked to your blog increases your rankings. WordPress features like the blogroll, pingbacks and trackbacks enable you to easily link to other people.

Mlm Secrets: How To Effectively Syndicate Your Blog Content And Achieve More Mlm Prospects

The following are a few little MLM Accomplishment Secrets that I believe will aid you in your quest for more targeted traffic and ultimately a lot more effective MLM recruiting and overall network marketing success.

Have you ever wondered why no one is reading your posts?

Have you ever thought, “Does the world care about what I have to say?”

Surely there are numerous folks out there that provide excellent articles, but just do not know how to have the articles in front of the right eyeballs, in our case potential MLM leads, that would value their articles.

So assuming that we have accomplished the very first and foremost network advertising secret which is effective keyword research (Very Important!), and assuming that we have written solid articles that offers benefit to our readers, the next point that we must perfect is effectively promoting our content.

So the following is your MLM Accomplishment Top secret for today, Here is my personal articles syndication routine that I use.

MLM Secret #1 – RSS Syndication

First task that I do when it comes to promoting my posts is submitting it to RSS Aggregator Feeds. Most individuals only publish there root domain for the RSS feed. By only publishing your root domain you’re missing out on alot of visitors by not publishing every post as it’s own RSS feed.

1. Utilizing Web Traffic Genius Pro Wordpress plugin I am able to publish an RSS feed for each post I create on total autopilot. [COST]

This is a simple way to get your content seen with no real work, this all occurs automatically when you hit the publish button.

MLM Secret #2 – Social Media Syndication

Second thing that I do is my social media syndication. Here I leverage several tools and free of charge strategies in an attempt to have my content to go viral.

1. Utilizing Onlywire Plugin I bookmark the post, this will send it to all my bookmark accounts and social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter. [FREE]
2. I also belong to what is known as a tribe. My tribe is part of Syndication Alliance. Tribing permits you to build relationships with other like minded folks, while also helping syndicate each and every others content. Extremely effective and highly suggested. [FREE]
3. Using Social Media Science Synnd I begin a bookmarking campaign which will permit others within the Synnd Community to bookmark this post. This is similar to tribing, but the community performs the tasks in an automated fashion. [COST]
4. Depending on the level of Social Buzz I am looking for, I may possibly also generate a Content Syndication Campaign utilizing Synnd at the same time. A Content Syndication campaign is where your articles will get votes and comments in an make an effort to make your articles go viral. [COST]

MLM Secret #3 – Article Promotion

Third task that I do is my write-up directory syndication. Here I leverage Automatic Article Submitter and My Article Network to automate my submissions.

1. Using Automatic Article Submitter I submit my content material to the best article directories. [COST]
2. Using My Article Network I submit my content material to ensure that it can get picked up by other blogs. [COST]

MLM Secret #4 – Video Promotion

Finally I create a brief video promoting the content material that I just had written.

1. Using Traffic Geyser I submit my video to the best video directories with a link pointing back towards the original post on my blog. [COST]
2. I also at times leverage Tube Mogul too. I’ve different accounts setup and basically perform the exact same thing as what I do with Traffic Geyser. [FREE]

Now all of these promotion steps I might not do all on the exact same day. I may extend it over a handful of days to give a organic feel for the search engines. But I will finish all my syndication work for a given piece of articles in a weeks time.

Now I hope you now understand the significance of having a repeatable routine when it comes to syndicating content material. This not only takes the guessing perform out of it, but also gives a way for you to measure how efficient your syndication campaigns are doing. This can also assist with your MLM recruiting because you are able to supply a content material syndication routine that could be duplicated by your group.

Should you notice that no site visitors is coming to read your posts, then either you’ve a non compelling title or your articles syndication isn’t effective. Both of these could be very easily fixed once you recognize the issue.

Start leveraging a consistent syndication regimen these days and you will begin to enjoy increased site visitors, increased MLM leads, and ultimately much more successful MLM recruiting.

See you at the Top

How To Further Enhance Your Blog Using Flash Plugins And Widgets

If you’re still maintaining a website or a blog, and are trying to make a difference, or even a dent, into the online world, then you should really think of how to enhance your online presence. Tens of millions of new blog posts are made monthly. Just imagine how much blogs, websites and other online portals are out there all grabbing everyone’s attention with something new.

It would be wise to move to a better hosted site, great domain names and use the highly acclaimed blog software such as Wordpress or Joomla to get your blog customized to your liking.

But having a fully customized Wordpress or Joomla site would not be enough to really make a difference and attract readers flocking to your site. You need to spice your blogs a notch higher with interesting plugins and interactive flash widgets (modules if you’re using Joomla) and take your viewership to the next level.

Widgets are light, simple and yet effective applications that can hook your visitors and provide them a reason to stay. Why Use Widgets in the First Place? With millions of blogs out there, it would be vital to find ways to grab the attention of surfers, entice them to explore your site, and encourage them to come back for more — otherwise your blog will simply end up collecting virtual dust in the online world.

Research have shown that one of the most important factor for website success is how effective a visitor can interact with the website, the webmaster and other users.

The use of basic text and graphics is no more sufficient to make a good impression for your website visitors. Online publishers need to take their website or blogs to the next level by embedding more interactive elements, thereby engaging the audiences and give them a new level of interactive experience they’ll never get from a static website or blog.

Interactive flash plugins, or widgets can get your visitors involved in the site in some way, whether by producing an effect just by hovering or clicking their mouse cursor on the widget. These effects can vary depending on the purpose, tone and overall design style of your blog. These interactive widgets can provide information on mouse over, play music, streaming videos, games, or allow users to customize and make their visit as personalized as possible.

There are a variety if interactive flash widgets available that features a whole array of functionality to suit different preference and taste. For example, flash photo slide shows for showcases photos and images without the need for users to click through each picture to make them move; animated talking heads that can ‘talk’ to your visitors using a customized greeting or script you want your first-time visitors to hear. Other widgets can let you play customizable video or audio files, or display an interactive calendars for upcoming events that your visitors can look forward to.

Adding Video to Your Website or Blog

Adding Video to Your Website or Blog

In recent times we’ve all heard and read lots of information about adding value to a website or blog with the addition of video content. In the early days (not so long ago) it was thought that by just including lots of written information relevant to your site would be enough to cause a stampede of visitors to your website or blog.

As time moved forward, we learned by upgrading our sites and blogs with logos, graphics and photos coupled with good functionality we could also improve the traffic flow to our site or blog.

The most recent tactic we’ve all heard about is to do On-Page and Off-Page SEO. This is a set of tasks that require us to select relevant keywords and phrases and employ them in certain fashion to our sites and blogs. This by all means is an important method for improving traffic. The secret is out however, everyone including your competition knows the value of SEO. SEO is being used just about everywhere it can be making the task of improving traffic more difficult once again.

Just starting to emerge and rapidly gaining popularity, is a new phase of Internet marketing known as video marketing. Increasingly, more and more websites around the internet are using video to increase their value and boost traffic flow to their site. Think about the last time you logged into one of the major news or commercial sites. You very likely were greeted with a professional-looking video that either started up on page entry or provided an option to view the video. Isn’t it easier to watch and listen than to have to read multiple paragraphs or even pages of information?

You may not have thought about it but that video made your life just a little bit easier. And that is the concept behind adding video content to your site our blog. If your site is more enjoyable and it’s easier to obtain information from your site  vs. your competitors, then guess which site gets the most traffic?

With the advancement of technology, creating video content for websites, blogs, iPods, iPhones, YouTube or other venues has become much easier than in the past. It use to be that you had to hire a video production house to create, process, host, and post your video at a cost of thousands of dollars. But not anymore. Now with the many desktop video applications and low-cost equipment commonly sold for personal use, you can have that same kind of professional video quality on your site or blog for a price that’s right for your budget.

So what are the things needed to create a video suitable for posting on my site or blog? Well I’m glad you asked.
In order to answer this question one very fundamental question must be answered. Will the video be one of live action as in a motion picture or will the video be one of a controlled sequence of computer generated graphics? In essence, do you want to capture a real time action event or do you wish to make a recording of events and graphics that take place on a computer screen? 

For recording a live active event you need:

A good video cam recorder. Video Editing software. Optionally, a tripod, and or extra lighting if recording in low light conditions.

 

For recording or capturing a computers screen:

A PC software application that has the ability to both record and edit active screen events. Psst, you do not need a video camera for this.

 

We live in an era where video content is everywhere. Our cell phones, music devices, TV’s in every room, and of course more and more video on the internet. It is much easier for people to watch a video that shows them how to do something rather than take the time and burn energy to read about it.

Adding video to your site or blog will provide a much higher response and many more satisfied visitors. When you can make things easy for your site visitors the probabilities of sales conversions are much more likely.

Four Necessary Plugins Types for Your Money-Making Blog

Four Necessary Plugins Types for Your Money-Making Blog

As you may be aware, when you have a conventional website, it is possible to find scripts that will provide a wide range of features.  For example, you can find mini programs that enable people to send emails to you without revealing your email address.  There are also dozens of applications that will help you create a website filled with all sorts of interesting functions.  In a similar way, you can also find widgets or plugins that will help you create a more robust blog.  When choosing applications for a money making blog, there are four categories that you will find indispensable.

 

1) Visitor Tracking Plugins

 

Many people that own conventional websites will tell you that statistics packages are indispensable.  A good tracking program will show you the geographic location of the visitor, as well as  entry pages, exit pages, and IP information.   When you install these plugins, they will also record information about search engine spiders.  If you are working on search engine optimization, this information is absolutely vital.  Among other things, it will give you a chance to find out which efforts result in an increased number of search engine spider visits to your site.

 

2) Spam Blockers

 

Unfortunately, once your blog begins to get better indexing positions in the search engines, it will also gain attention from spam bots.  These programs are designed to visit your site, and then look for ways to spam your comment section with links.   Wordpress blogs get hit with these bots far more often than Blogspot ones.  Even though you can set the comment section to moderate, you may wind up deleting hundreds of spam comments per day.  Alternatively, spam blocker plugins will block known spammers.  While you may get a blitz of spam from time to time, you can manually block an entire domain, or simply wait for the offending domain to get blacklisted.

 

3) SEO Propagators

 

When you create a blog, there is an expectation that you will actually be writing something that is both timely and news worthy.  Therefore, a number of blog indexes will ping your site on a regular basis in order to index your new content as quickly as possible.  In some cases, fans of your blog may also want to place copies of your content on their own blog.  You should make it a point to make sure that your blog information is routinely updated in the following locations:

 

(b)

Blog Indexes:  Technorati, Digg, Reddit

Social Networks: Facebook (on a fan page set to public), Myspace, Ning

Misc Announcement Sites: Twitter, Ebay blog feeds, and sites relevant to your subject.

 

(/b)

 

Rather than copy/pasting the content, readers can also set up RSS feeds that will link back to your site.  Ideally, you should make sure that your blog is set up to enable as many transmissions of your links as possible.  This includes email links at the bottom of each post that will enable visitors to send specific entries to others.

 

 

4) Advanced Editing Features

 

When you are composing an email, you may not be overly concerned about the size of the text, its color, or the location of images.  On the other hand, a blog post must be carefully designed in order to look appealing.  If you are an affiliate marketer, it is also very important to make sure that visitors do not miss your affiliate links.  Even though blogging platforms come with a basic set of formatting features, it will be of some help to install plugins that extend your abilities.  For example, if you want larger text for your links in Wordpress, then you will need the TinyMCE plugin.

 

Even though it may take some time for you to draw significant amounts of traffic to your blog, it is very important to make sure that you viewers have a good experience.  It is also very important to learn as much about them as possible.  A site that is filled with spam comments, or one that is poorly formatted will ensure that visitors will not come back again.  On the other hand, if you do not have access to statistical information about visitors to your site, it will be virtually impossible to find out if you SEO strategies are effective.   While these plugins may not always be visible to site viewers, they still play an enormous role in ensuring that your blog will stand above all the others.

10 Effective Ways to Get More Blog Subscribers

10 Effective Ways to Get More Blog Subscribers

1. Make it easy and obvious

As I’ve said before in more detail, make your subscription options prominent, offer an email alternative to RSS, and ask for the subscription, preferably at the bottom of each post.

2. Be laser focused

Make sure that you are primarily focusing on a particular topic, and the more specialized that topic is, the better you’ll do. It’s also key to step back and evaluate whether there are enough prospective readers in your chosen niche. It’s better to be brutally honest with yourself than to toil away and end up disappointed.

3. Offer a bribe

Relax, it’s nothing illegal. It’s an ethical bribe, in the form of a free ebook, report, e-course or audio series. Typically this only works with email subscriptions tied to autoresponders, because you want to condition delivery of the bonus on subscription.

But here’s a nifty way to do it with RSS:

If you have a WordPress blog, use the free Feedvertising plugin to link to the download page for your free gift. Since Feedvertising links only show up in the feed (and not in the post), only feed subscribers will see the link and have access to the bonus.

4. Use viral ebooks

This is a spin on the ethical bribe strategy, but instead you let other people give away your PDF ebook or even bundle it for sale with other products. The PDF in turn promotes your blog. Check out this post to see how I bundled my free Viral Copy report with a book that spent several days at the top of the Amazon bestseller list.

5. Dedicated subscription landing page

Create a page that is dedicated to nothing more than obtaining a subscription, and drive traffic to it from your blog, AdWords, or really any other source you want. You can even put it on a unique URL, and add in the ethical bribe strategy to increase signups. For more information on doing this with AdWords, read this article, and then this one.

6. Become a guest blogger

Contributing content to someone else’s blog may seem crazy, but it’s a solid strategy to gain exposure for your own blog and build your subscriber base. Just make it very clear to the blog owner that you require a very brief byline at the end of the post, with a link back to your site. And make sure it’s original content, not something recycled off of your blog.

7. Start a podcast

Start a related podcast on your subject matter, and get it into iTunes and listed in the various podcasting directories. Mention your blog in every episode and the benefits of subscribing, and try to land some interviews with prominent players in your niche. Not only will you be opening up a new promotional channel, you’re also creating bonus content that can be reused as part of your ethical bribe campaign for new subscribers.

8. Post in forums

A tried and true technique since the earliest days of the Internet is to be a helpful, proactive participant in forums that are important in your niche. People will notice that you are offering yourself up to others, and will be more inclined to see what else you have to offer with your blog.

9. Networking

This is perhaps the most overlooked strategy for gaining traffic and subscribers. Don’t badger other bloggers for links, because it rarely works anymore. Find a way to help them with something, and then eventually work that initial graciousness into a business relationship and even friendship. There are real people behind these blogs, and they respond to good will just like people do offline.

10. Cross-promotional deals

Here’s another cool way to make use of the Feedvertising plugin for WordPress.

Find a blogger that publishes related, but non-competitive content. Work out a deal where you both promote each other in your RSS feeds, using Feedvertising. If one blog has way more subscribers than the other, work out a ratio deal. Since Feedvertising allows you to create up to six rotating links, the smaller blog would promote the other blog continuously, while the larger blog would reserve one slot for the smaller blog, and use the other slots for other cross-promotion deals, affiliate links, or sponsor ads.

So there you have it, with one additional word of caution.

All of the above presupposes that you are producing the best content you can. If you honestly cannot say that you are doing your best work content-wise, start there. But afterwards, using some or all of the above will definitely increase your subscriber count.
