This week will be how to get blog traffic series
When you create a blog you want to get blog traffic to come and read your wonderful and witty words. How do you get this to happen? Well, there are many steps you can take to get blog traffic some are short term solutions which result in you working hard to get blog traffic but if you stop, so does the traffic. The other is a longer term solutions to promote your site to get blog traffic by taking SEO fixes.
This week I am going to post about a short term solution and a long term solution you can implement to help get blog traffic. It is a good idea to mix both techniques and not focus too much on any one thing. You do not want to be working on getting traffic for the same blog forever. This is where long term strategies come into play. As soon as you have rolled out the right long term plan to get blog traffic then you can move on to the next blog or next project or next whatever it is you want to spend your time on.
Today’s short term solution to get blog traffic: Update your signature to be a link to your blog. I know this is not ground breaking but time and again I see people who have blogs that do not refer to them in their email signature or forum signatures. Also, be sure to use the right anchor text in your email signatures and forum signatures.
Today’s long term solution to get blog traffic: Be sure you are using the post name in your URL as part of your permalink settings. Look at the URL of your blog posts. Does it have p=123 or some other number in there instead of the title of your blog post? This is a bad move. The URL being built with the title is a great and simple SEO fix for your blog that can help result in an increase in search engine traffic.
