nivethan — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 04:22:27 +0000

A good blog should have a considerable amount of visitors. Apart from writing a blog we have to make many people visit it and love it. There are some important ways to promote a blog that usually all good bloggers do, we will see them one by one. (If you are a hobby blogger or Local language(Non English) or a blogger who writes for no valid purpose, you may not need to follow all of this.)

1. Originality and Quality of the content

The blog should be of a good quality and should be written in a regular manner. This is very important because if a visitor thinks your blog is not making any sense to him, he will not visit your blog back. You should attract each and every visitor of your blog, no matter how he or she found your blog, if they think your blog is useful to them very likely they will bookmark it, visit you back and share with others too. In order to maintain this you should post regularly. For instance, if you keep your blog silent for one week, your regular visitors who expect some interesting things from you will be disappointed and they might simply go away from your blog. Thus, quality and regularity in very important to keep your regular visitors with you.

2. Search Engine Optimization

Search Engines should index your blog and blog posts. Your blog should be search engine friendly so that they will be listed when a user searches using a keyword which is relevant to your blog or a particular post of your blog. If you do a good search engine optimization(SEO) for your blog you can get a very good amount of visitors via search engines. Make your post titles, URL, content in such a way thy are search engine friendly, use seo plug-ins and build links to your blog. This is the superficial SEO that you can do simply in order to improve the search engine driven traffic. If you want to get even more SE traffic you may do off-site SEO too.

3.Sharing it on social networking sites.

Today, it is a very effective method. By tweeting your blog post links from your twitter account all of your active twitter followers would visit the link you tweeted. Twitter is the best social networking platform to promote your blog to many people. Thus open a twitter account for your blog and let the interested people follow it. Next to twitter, Facebook sharing is an effective way to get visitors. You can open a facebook fan page for your blog and update it with blog post links – this almost acts like a twitter account of your blog. Not only facebook or twitter but also you had better use the other social networking, micro blogging platforms, such as google buzz, linked in, etc. Make sure you are not spamming by too many tweets and updates, if you do so you will very likely loose followers and fans.

4. Social bookmarking the posts.

Submit your blog posts to the top social bookmarking sites such as digg, reddit, stumbleupon, etc. This is a very good method to promote your blog posts. Many people are using social booking sites to find useful blog posts on their interested topics. Your submitted link of your blog post will be further “digged” or “stumbled” or “liked” (These are some methods these social bookmarking sites use to have the readers rate a submitted post) by the readers who find it useful or interesting to them. And a good blog post will get a high rating and be visited by a big number of users
