15 Ways To Drive Traffic To Your Blog 1.) Create at least four keyword posts per day. Most of the top blogs such as Boing Boing, Daily Kos, and Instapundit (with literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an average of 30 small 100-150 word posts per day according to "Secrets of the A-list Bloggers: Lots of Short Posts" by TNL.net 2.) Submit to My Yahoo! When you submit your own RSS to My Yahoo it is indexed by Yahoo. 3.) Submit to Google's Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS to Google's Reader the Google Blog Search will index your site. 4.) Add a relevant link directory to your blog and trade links like a demon possessed! Although it may take more time than simply submitting to a search engine one time, this method is perhaps the best way to drive traffic to your site. Use software such as Zeus to speed up the link trading process. 5.) Use ping sites like ping-o-matic. Ping your site every time you add a new post. 6.) Submit your blog to traditional search engines such as AltaVista, and MSN. 7.) Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ. Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google. DMOZ is very picky, but what do you have to lose by trying? 8.) Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be done with software such as RSS SUBMIT. 9.) Comment on other blogs. Do not just leave short, lazy comments like "I agree." Leave well thought out replies that will force readers to wonder "who wrote this?" 10.) Use track backs. If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site. 11.) Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know your blog exists. 12.) Ad a link to your blog in your e-mail signature block. 13.) Use Groups (Usenet). Find a relevant group on Google groups, Yahoo groups, MSN groups or any of the thousands of other FREE group services and find like minded people and talk with them. Make sure your use your blog URL like it is your name. 14.) Use Forums. Forums are one of the best places to go for advice. Go to forums and find problems to solve. Make sure you leave your blog name, but be tactful about it; some forums get annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and leave. 15.) Tag your website. Tagging is a new idea that has erupted across the web. Sites like Del.icio.us, Technorati and many others have a social feature that allows you to place your article under keywords or "tags" that everyone interested in that tag can see. Although these are some of the most popular ways to drive traffic to your blog, do not limit your self to tips and lists. Use your imagination and you will come up with thousands of ways to drive traffic to your blog! Happy Blogging Karl Post Comment | Read Comments (0)
236% More Profit In 25% of The Time arrives! You are so happy you hug the cat and give the dog a kiss, the rest of the household is of course not interested in your success, but the dog however franticly wags it's tail sharing your every emotion. In our real world the cat and dog will remain but if your letter is not structured so that readers can clearly understand what you are trying to say, only the dog will be happy. And we still have no idea why. Firstly, there are no hard and fast rules to writing. Some believe this to be true others not, however if you want to be successful you have to write with passion. If you are not truly exited about the product or service you are selling, this will convey in all your writing. Get to know your product or service before even attempting to write a email or sales letter, this holds true for affiliate programs as well. Make sure that you believe in the product, whether it is your own or you have resell or other rights to it, only then will you be able to write something appealing that will compel your reader to bu*y into your product. Remember, people buy with emotion not logic. Great, you've finished your letter, following the rules, you are over the moon and beside yourself with joy at what you have just achieved. Point is, what have you achieved? If your readers have no a idea what it is that you are trying to tell them you will lose them within the first sentence. Now this is not good, since you've wasted their time, and your's, and they wont be reading anything coming from you in the near future. Net result, bye bye sales. The common mistake we make, including myself, is assuming that the reader will understand what you are trying to say. The main reason for writing information in this way is because you know a lot about the subject matter you are writing about, you also know and understand the background, so for you it is easy to grasp your message. This however does not always hold true for your reader. Now, I am not saying your reader is stupid and you have to spoon feed him, you need to convey your message simply and clearly. Put yourself in his shoes to make sure he will understand. Simply put, any story has structure, a beginning, a middle, and a end, and your message should clearly reflect this. Firstly, make some notes about the beginning, middle and end on a piece of paper or in your word processor, then test to see if it makes sense, change a few things if necessary and only then start writing. In this way you will have a clear idea of what you are trying to say and be able to follow your story more easily while writing. This allows your reader to follow your story/letter in a logical way. Always remember to write to a single person, not to the masses. In short, when you write your message it will have a more personal tone and the reader will naturally respond to it. Our lives on this planet are not structured and new situations and happenings force us into every conceivable direction every day, but however, this is not the way in which we would like to see a movie, read a message or story. Now give the dog a biscuit, grab some coffee, and write successfully. All the best till next time.
