How To Get More Readers For Your Blog And Keep Them Coming Back?
Sep 26, 2008 Blog Traffic, Blogging Tips
Whether you have a business blog or a personal one you no doubt want as many people to view it and hopefully interact with it, and you, as possible. There are a few key things to remember when both primarily creating your blog and then promoting it to others.
1. Keep your readers in mind. Make it easy to read and understand. Keep your writing clear and concise, while it doesn’t need to be grammatically ideal (at least for a personal blog) it should at least make sense.
2. Provide useful and important information for your readers. In the first place, readers are seeking for information when they arrived at your blog. Provide the most accurate and helpful information as much as possible to gain the trust of your readers.
3. Avoid unnecessary blog add-ons. Avoid using scripts that may cause slower loading time for your blog. I’ve come across blogs with annoying music background on it. Believe me, it’s one way of driving away your readers.
4. Comment on blogs that are relevant to yours. Somehow, commenting to other blogs help you gain friendship with other blogs. It will be a give-and-take relationship. You can also make a track back with your blog postings to comment on your own blog. This will give someone else the urge to track back to your blog.
4. Make your blog as interactive as possible; give your readers the chance to leave comments or feedback, the more reason you can give them to interact with you the more often they will come back; on that note you can also give your viewers the chance to subscribe to your blog so they receive emails when your blog has been updated etc.
5. Finally, where possible, keep your individual posts in related categories and provide an archive page that will help the reader easily find the information they were looking for.
