The Blog Traffic Exchange’s version of the Related Posts plugin utilizes the same cloud based, Relevant Chaos technology that is behind the Blog Traffic Exchange in order to maximize the internal linking within your blog.

In order to view related posts you must have first installed the Related Sites plugin and then obtained a valid membership key from the Blog Traffic Exchange.

BTE’s Related Posts plugin eclipses all other related post plugins currently available for WordPress because it is able to randomize all the relevant posts within your site, so long as they are above the relevancy threshold.

This in effect, maximizes the internal linking power of your website.

This Wordpess plugin relies on Blog Traffic Exchange cutting edge technology and is strongly related to Related Websites plugin for Wordpress, also currently available.

Upon installation of the Related Websites plugin and receipt of the API key, you will start to immediately witness the plugin’s massive value – and that is before you have been able to experience the extraordinary benefit of the Pro account.

All Pro accounts receive access to all traffic data, allowing members to see view the flow of incoming and outgoing links.

The plugin automates a steady balance of incoming and outgoing links, but Pro accounts are permitted to run at a traffic deficit in addition to regularly receiving extra opportunities for additional traffic without reader relevancy ever being compromised.

The technology behind the Blog Traffic Exchange is impressive for sure, but so is the price of a pro member account. Pro members need only pay twenty dollars per month – the best value for organic traffic available anywhere.

In addition, Pro members are able to black list sites. You will never have to send traffic to a competitor.
Pro members are paying for an enhanced user experience with appropriate author attribution, never for links.

Click on the link to sign-up for the Pro member account right now, and trade soaring success for the price of 4 soy lattes. Do it today, be happy tomorrow!

Every blogger is looking to achieve the exact same thing: They are hoping to be read. There are millions of bloggers that give the idea a shot but then eventually give up because they feel like nobody is reading them. They feel like if they are unable to get blog traffic, then why should they even try?

If you feel like you are currently in this position, try not to give up. It is easy to get blog traffic and to gain loyal readers if you are willing to keep blogging. Here are five methods that you can use to get blog traffic where previously you were struggling to gain readership.

1 – Maximize your use of RSS.

Your blog will come with built in RSS capabilities, and you should make sure to be taking advantage of these. The easier it is for people to subscribe to your blog, the easier it will be for you to get blog traffic when you need it.

2 – Build links from other websites.

Search engine spiders use links to navigate the web and index the websites that they find. What this means is, the easier that you make it for the search engines to find you, the easier it will be for you to get blog traffic through search engine results pages. It really is this simple.

3 – Write and syndicate content articles.

Websites and blogs alike are both hungry for content, so if you are willing to deliver this content, then you really cannot go wrong. You will earn new traffic every day, and this flood of traffic will begin as soon as your first article has been posted.

4 – Comment in other related blogs.

Blogs are designed to act as conversations. If you have insights to add to a conversation, or a comment that you want to make, by all means, make it. Leave your e-mail address and a link back to your website, and you will actually be able to get blog traffic simply by participating in online conversations elsewhere on the internet. This is a quick, easy and interactive way to get blog traffic when you are looking for more visitors to your website.

5 – Keep blogging!

The more content that you have, the more visitors you will have, because blog readers love content and are constantly looking for fresh and new information and content. If you provide it, they will find it, and if you continue to provide it, they will continue to return time and time again to read it. It really is this simple. Content is one of the most vital aspects of the blogging process. If you are not posting content, your visitors will never find you or have a reason to stick around once they do.

Bonus Tip

Wordpress blogs can make use of Related Websites plugin. Sign up for Blog Traffic Exchange to leverage your content and readership for even more blog traffic. Get quality links to and from your site with other Blog Traffic Exchange members. It’s simple, easy, and indispensable, but don’t just take my word for it. Try it! Learn more about the Related Websites plugin, what it is, how it works, who is eligible and how to get it.

Today, having a blog on the internet is just about as common as having an e-mail address. E-mailing and blogging actually share a number of the same purposes, such as that they are allowed to spread ideas, provide people with information and to promote online businesses. Blogs originally served, however, as online journals and diaries. Now that blogs are serving so many other functions, learning how to retain every blog visitor that you attract to your website is more important than ever.

Blogging has absolutely become an essential tool in internet marketing, especially for people that are trying to earn an income online. Learning how to write a blog effectively has taken on more significance and importance than ever before. Blogs that are poorly written simply are not successful, and they struggle more when it comes to blog visitor retention. If you want your blog to be successful then you need to turn it into a blog that is popular and highly inviting. Here are some techniques for better writing in your blog to improve your blog visitor retention.

Tip #1 – Try to keep your blog entries short and sweet. Clear and concise blog entries generally have the best blog visitor retention rate. Many people that read blogs are not looking for length – So say what you have to say in a clear and concise manner and move on.

Tip #2 – Make sure that you are thinking about the audience that you are trying to cater to when you write your blog posts. You should be conducting research based on how well known your particular niche is. Don’t write a blog on a topic that is so obscure that you are only going to have small blog visitor numbers.

Tip #3 – Write in a tone that is light and conversational. You should be writing to your readers as if you were talking to them on a face to face basis.

Tip #4 – Write about topics that are interesting, relevant and informative. You should be entertaining and you should be informative while you are supplying information that is relevant and useful.

Tip #5 – To boost your blog visitor retention numbers you are going to want to make sure that your blog is well designed. Avoid distracting and flashy colors and images and leave out the clutter, it’s just a waste of space.

Tip #6 – Make sure that there are always links included in your blog. Link to products, services and other useful resources, including your own and other people’s websites as well.

Tip #7 – Make sure that you are using search engine keywords on your blog, including in your blog title, your blog posts and links that you create for the maximum amount of search engine optimization.

Welcome to the power of relevant chaos.

The Related Websites plugin is the latest to come from the labs of the Blog Traffic Exchange. The Related plugin has been built by a blogger for the benefit of fellow bloggers everywhere.

There is no advertising present on member blogs – only pure, highly relevant links, that enhance the user experience while increasing traffic. Consider the Related Websites plugin as a related posts plugin for the entire blogosphere.

The Related Websites WordPress plugin is released in the GPL. Any blogger with an API key can now easily utilize the plugin to display relevant links from around the web directly on their site and without the tedium normally associated with the process. This is an unprecedented opportunity to increase traffic in an organic way without using spam tactics or anything that could dilute the quality of a blog.

These unique traffic opportunities exist for members and users of the plugin only. Here is the way it works.

After installing the Related Websites plugin, it will auto-install various links to related posts from other “Related Website” member sites, displaying them at the foot of each previously published post.

This is the most elegant, out-of-the-box, and organic method for building traffic and refining your user experience from anything else currently available.

See it in action now on this blog!

All links are randomly rotated both locally per page load and globally every 24 hours, and though a proprietary traffic balancing algorithm rewards blogs who send diverse traffic into the exchange with more frequent placement, relevancy is NEVER compromised.

Membership requirements: In exchange for displaying the related blog posts of other Blog Traffic Exchange members, your blog posts are also displayed on other members’ blogs whenever possible and relevant.

Not only is relevancy never compromised, but ads (in the form of traffic opportunities) are never sold to member blogs.

Are you wondering if it is really possible to increase blog traffic through the use of an analytics tool? How is such a tool going to be responsible for bringing traffic to your blog? Analytics tools are not actually directly responsible for increasing your blog traffic, but if you use such a utility correctly, you could indirectly boost a great amount of targeted traffic to your blog no matter what stage of development that it is currently in. There is one very powerful tool for analytics that stands out above the rest and is vital for your blog. This incredibly accurate and completely tool has come to become the standard all over the internet: Google Analytics.

The Google Analytics tool will play a vitally important role in the process when you decide to increase blog traffic for a number of different reasons. Most notably, it is going to tell you exactly what type of traffic you are attracting to your website. It will be able to tell you if your traffic is direct traffic, referred traffic or traffic generated through search engine results.

Google Analytics will also give you a lot of truly vital information about the visitors to your blog. It will tell you if they are unique visitors that are arriving for the first time. It will tell you how long they visit the site. It will tell you what your bounce rate is. It will tell you what type of browsers are being used to view your website, and even what countries visitors are coming from. Finally, Google Analytics will tell you what keywords are being used to bring people to your website, which will tell you whether or not your keyword research is paying off.

All of this is going to play a role in increasing blog traffic for your blog. Without a blog analytics tool like the one that Google offers, you really will not have any idea how many people are visiting your blog or how long they are visiting for. If you do not know where they are coming from or how they came to arrive at your blog, how can you fine tune your marketing approach to increase your traffic in the future? The more you know about what drives people to your blog, the better able you will be to fine tune your approach to attract even more traffic.

Without Google Analytics, all of this information is simply lost. Do you want to be flying in the dark, or do you want to effectively increase blog traffic for your website? There is no reason to play guessing games when you can have the information that you need right at your fingertips for absolutely free.

It can be relatively challenging for people to come up with popular blog posts that aren’t going to bore their visitors, and keeping them interesting enough that blog visitors will continue to come back. Here is a look at some types of popular blog posts if you need inspiration on the types of popular blog posts that you can write.

Type #1 – “Quick Tips” Blog Posts

These are between 100 and 250 words and share ideas that are relevant but that do not justify writing a full blog post. Quick Tips blog posts are popular blog posts because they are short, simple and to the point.

These blog posts provide more details and an expanded information format in comparison to the quick tips popular blog posts. These blog posts will tell your readers how they can do specific things that relate to your niche.

Type #3 – “Review” Blog Posts

This blog post is pretty explanatory, and involves writing a product or a service review to help your readers make a decision in the buying process. Review products and include affiliate links to give you an opportunity to make commissions on your blog posts.

Type #4 – “Resource” Blog Posts

This is another one of the most popular blog posts, and all that it is, is a resource list. Blog readers tend to really love lists of resources, so make sure that you provide them occasionally.

Type #5 – “Interview” Blog Posts

Blog readers also tend to enjoy interview posts, especially those that interview someone that they admire or care about knowing more about. This is what makes these such popular blog posts. Interview posts are also popular for driving traffic to your website.

Type #6 – “Best of” Blog Posts

Type #7 – “Personal Story” Blog Posts

Every blog reader appreciates a personal story. The people that follow your blog will appreciate these popular blog posts because they relate to you and your niche simultaneously. Talk about new products that you bought, seminars that you visited, mishaps that you learned something from and so on.
