All about the Traffic

No blog survives without traffic. More so, less

traffic only means that the content is not that good.

However, there are also instances wherein a great blog

does not have enough traffic. The key in getting

traffic is to come up with a strategy and make

everyone notice your blog. There are a few things that

you need to consider with regards to generating

traffic to your blog and these are not that different

from planning a regular Web site.

The only exception is that blogs can generate traffic

a lot faster. What you only need to consider first is

your target audience and where exactly you are

generating your blog’s traffic.

The Content

The content of your blog is very important. It is the

reason why people visit your blog. Try to make your

blog interesting and learn to master the ideas

included in your blog. The content should also be

relevant and of high value to the audience. Find out

what your audience wants and if what you are writing

satisfy them.

The content is especially important if you are

planning sales from your blog. Firstly, you must

become a trust-worthy and credible source of

information before people try the product. Blogs are

excellent medium for sales since they allow you to

connect and converse through the use of the content.

You must realize that without a great content, your

blog cannot fully achieve power and leverage against

others.

In order to gain audience for your content, remember

not to publish infrequently. Additionally, do not

criticize others if you do not have facts to support

your claim and references for those facts. If you

criticize, do it in an objective non-personal manner.

What you can do is to publish often and make sure that

the entry you are about to publish is meaningful and

of high-value. Lastly, be yourself to help your

audience relate to you but do not reveal any private

information.

The Ping

Some bloggers take the extra mile just to ping and do

not solely rely on the blog software pings. The blog

software pings’ job is to update the servers for the

purpose of announcing your content updates. Search

engines and blog directories then checks these update

servers for the latest updates; this is the reason why

your blog’s content gets into search engines quickly.

Pings make blogs excellent search engine optimization

tools. There are even instances where it only takes a

day before your content gets into search engines.

However, your blog’s content will only take hours to a

few days to get into most search engines, on average.

When starting a blog, always check the instructions

included. There might be section wherein you can turn

on the blog software ping automatically, which

activates on the background. By doing so, whenever you

publish content in your blog, it will instantly

transmit ping updates.

RSS feeds are also important. Not only will you be

able to publish your content within a short duration

but also replicate your content through the use of

your RSS feed. Nowadays, the flow of your content is

real-time and the RSS allows you to show your content

to a wider audience.

There are several ways to promote your blog. However,

keep in mind that there is no strategy for quick money

when it comes to profitable blogging. It requires

dedication, time, a strategy for the content and

patience before the cash starts flowing in.
