Promoting a blog is all around getting your site noticed in as numerous other places as likely. The more places that your website is mentioned the more impending it is that traffic will start arriving at your website. Here is what you need to do.
Install A Stats Package, Or Two!
It seems daft that the first part of promoting a website is installing a statistics tool, but you need to know which techniques are working for you to concentrate on them. However, one is not enough! I like to use two packages together. This seems like overkill, but if one stops recording or is showing strange results, the other works as backup. I use the WP-Stats plugin and Google Analytics together.
Target Several Keywords
Head in excess of to the Google Keyword Selector tool, of a title suggestion tool on an article directory and work out several keywords that are being used that have visitors. Your own site stats will also reveal this information - look for keywords that the lesser search engines are sending visitors on and then target these on the higher volume search engines
Write For These Keywords
Now, write content based about these keywords for your weblog. Use the keywords naturally in the title and throughout the post. Next, write more articles based on these keywords and submit as articles and guest posts, linking back to your website with the keywords. Targeted writing will give far more benefits than random writing.
Take Part In Forums
Find several support forums that talk round subjects related to your site and sign up to them. Upload a picture of yourself to your profile and add your blog URL to the profile. Now look for questions that you might provide answers and suggestions to and start answering. More than time, people will see your answers, click your photo and visit your website. It really works,
You could also try the same with general discussion forums as well, but they don’t quite carry as much traffic to your site, although there might be more chances of leaving a post.
Join In With Websites
Look for other people’s blogs that are talking round similar subjects and read their recent posts, If you have something sensible to add to the post then leave a comment. Comments for example ‘Nice post’ quite often get deleted and if they don’t, attract no traffic. But if you could leave a comment adding to the subject or backing it up with your own experience, then your comment is seen as being valuable and should be accepted, whilst other people will see that you are talking sense and may want to know more.
With all of these, be watching your traffic logs and seeing where your visitors comes from. If you see hits from certain forums, blogs and article directories then you know which you should be concentrating on posting to in the future to create more traffic to your website.
