This is in no way a science or guarantee; it's simply a few
suggestions with which many bloggers have found success.
Set your blog to
Send Pings. When this setting is activated, your blog will be included in
various "recently updated" lists on the web as well as other
blog-related services.
Activate Your
Navbar. Do this and you might start to see the effects right away! One
of the features on the Blogger Navbar is a button called NextBlog - click it to
visit the next Navbar-enabled blog.
Install Email This
Post.
If you use Email This Post on your blog, people will be able to forward your
posts to friends. This may not have an immediate impact on your site stats but
it enables others to publicize your blog for you.
Turn on Post Pages. By publishing every post as its very own web page with Post
Pages, you ensure that your entries are way more link-able and more attractive
to search engines.
Turn on your site
feed.
When people subscribe to your site feed in their newsreaders, they're very
likely going to read your post.
Add your blog to
Blogger's listings. When you add your blog to our listings it shows up in Nextblog,
Recently Updated, and other places. It's like opting-in to traffic.
Write quality
content and do it well. If your "style" is bad writing, worse grammar, no
punctuation, and an ugly design, that might be okay for a niche crowd. But the
idea here is to achieve mass appeal, so fix yourself up a bit.
Publish regular
updates. Simple: the more you blog, the more traffic you'll get.
Think of your
audience. A good way to build an audience is to speak to one in
particular. When you keep your audience in mind, your writing gains focus.
Focus goes a long way toward repeat visitors.
Keep search engines
in mind. There are a few things you can do to make your blog more search
engine friendly. Use post titles and post page archiving. This will
automatically give each of your post pages an intelligent name based on the
title of your post. Also, try to be descriptive when you blog. A well crafted
post about something very specific can end up very near the top results of a
search.
Keep your posts and
paragraphs short. Strive for succinct posts that pump pertinent new information
into the blogosphere and move on. Keep it short and sweet so visitors can pop
in, read up, and click on.
Put your blog URL
in your email signature. Think of how many forwarded emails you've seen in your day, and
just imagine the possibilities.
Sumbit your address
to blog search sites and directories. People look for blog content at Technorati every day, are you on their list? You
should be. Submit your blog's url to Technorati, Daypop, Blogdex, Popdex,
and any other site of that ilk you come across.
Link to other blogs. Links are the
currency of the blogosphere and it takes money to make money so start linking.
Install a blogroll. It's a very simple yet effective social networking scheme and it
has the same result as a simple link if not stronger: traffic! So if you don't
have one yet, sign up for a blogroll and get that link-list going.
Be an active
commenter. This is in the same vein as linking. Most comment systems also
provide a way for you to leave a link back to your blog which begs a visit at
the very least. So if you feel inspired, leave a comment or two in your blog
travels. It behooves you.
Enable Following on
your blog. Following a is a great way to keep your friends updated on the
latest activity on your blog. New blogs will have this blog feature enabled by
default, but for older blogs you will have to enable it from the Layout | Page
Elements tab.
