If you are a blogger and the type who just can’t cope up with today’s
search engine optimization trends, here are a few tips that can help you
catapult your blog. The following tips aren’t engineered or cooked up
for long-term search engine results – bloggers often find themselves
dazzled on the success of their co-bloggers, whom had to apply
traffic-boosting strategies in order to place their blogs on top of
Google or Yahoo’s results.
1. Update your blog once in a while – Readers are susceptible with
updates, majority of them will consider daily updated blogs than rotting
content meant to trick the SERPs for traffic overflow. Threaten your
competition by updating your weblog with interesting topics and
discussions that coincide with the subject theme.
2. Offer freebies and interesting contests – For example, a weblog about
hosting is offering a HostGator coupon like ” SPRINGTIME ” or ”
FREETRAFFIC “. By using those coupons your visitors will pay only $0.01
for their web hosting, it already comes with an Unlimited Hosting
Package and is backed by a 45 day money back guarantee, unlimited
bandwidth and the ability to host unlimited domains. Give them that
freebie for the person who would comment the best on one particular
story. Try also to involve your readers and mix your cauldron of
discussion with contests.
3. Word-of-mouth marketing – Tell your closest friend about your blog,
chances are that he/she would be willing to share the URL to her other
friends until the networking cobweb grows bigger and bigger.
4. Videos – Try adding a weekly podcast for things to come on your blog
for the weeks to follow. Try to make a video that will entertain people.
5. Be friendly with other weblogs catering to the same subject as yours -
You could say that this is one of those “reciprocal agreements” needed
to create a reputation among other networks of blogs related to your
blog. Actively participate in their discussions, link back to them and
create rapport which would lead them to go back to you and consider your
blog, or content in general, a worthy piece of online reading material
without convoluted ads hindering readership value.
