6 Best ways to increase your Blog Traffic
If you will read and implement these 6 best ways in your day to day blogging then I am sure that you will definitely get viral traffic for your blog.
These 6 best ways will surely going to help you to boost your blog traffic.
1. Choose a catchy and keyword enriched title:- The title of your blog is one of the first things that readers will see and one of the factors that search engines use to determine what your blog is about. The title of your blog should let readers know right away what your blog is about. It should be easy to remember, not too long, and not too similar to another website's name.
Keep this in mind when selecting a domain name as well. Oddly spelt words will throw people off, and make it more difficult for your blog to become memorable.
2. Focus on your design:- The first thing people notice when they visit your blog, is the way it looks. And although the old adage goes that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, the same isn’t always true for a blog. If you want people to stay on your blog, you’ve got to hook them with an eye-catching design; once they’re interested in the appearance, they’ll start reading to see what you’re all about.
Create a title/header that matches the theme and content of your blog. A clean, well designed header will tell readers a lot about your blog, and hopefully have them sticking around.
Keep your color scheme to a maximum of three hues. Too many colors can appear overwhelming, and distract readers from content. Choose at least one or two neutral colors, and one or two bright/bolder colors.
Create a small logo or image to represent your blog, if applicable. Having a ‘brand’ will make your blog memorable, and help others to recognize it when they see the logo around the internet.
3. Organize your content:- If you have a great design and content, you have to be sure to have great organization to match. If readers can’t find what they’re looking for easily, they’ll be much less likely to visit again in the future or to recommend your blog to others. Create a navigation bar at the top of the page or in a column, with links to common articles. Furthermore, set up a ‘tag’ system in which you can tag articles with keywords or phrases that will make it easier for readers to search.
If you’re coding-savvy enough, add a search bar to your blog. This will allow your readers to search from within your blog content without scrolling through pages of titles or links they’re not interested in.
Create general categories/links for your nav bar, with more specific sub-categories for each general link. This will make searching your blog easier.
4. Focus on your target audience:- Although you likely want anyone and everyone to start reading your blog, typically only a specific target audience will make up the primary readership.
Look at popular blogs that are similar to yours or how you want your to be, and emulate the ways in which they hook their audience on content.
By creating specific, detailed content rather than general, vague content, your target audience will be more likely to become repeat readers, and to share your blog on a regular basis.
If you’re creating a fashion/beauty blog, make sure that the general appearance and content of your blog easily shows this.
If you’re covering a broad subject, consider writing multiple posts in order to get more detailed content about each part you’ll be discussing.
5. Add interesting images:- People are visual, and they’re more likely to read an article or blog post if there are images to accompany it. If you’re a photographer or graphic designer, use your creative know-how to prepare images that fit the content of each individual blog post you create.
If you’re not so artsy, use images from the web (with permission/linked sources) interspersed throughout your writing.
If you add your own images, add a small watermark with your blog’s name or URL on the bottom. That way, if your images get circulated around the web, people will see that they came from you and make a stop by your blog.
Write a small disclaimer on your blog that notes that people can share your images as much as they want, so long as they source them back to your article/home page.
6. Post regularly:- If you have great content but only post once a month, even the most loyal followers will eventually get burnt out on waiting for an update from you.
Try to set up a regular blogging schedule, so that you’re posting at least once a week. Keep in mind, the more you post, the more chances you have to get readers.
Avoid the pitfall of posting even when you don’t have quality content. It’s ok to go a little extra time between posts if it means building up for writing that is more meaningful.
Conclusion
This is end of the first part to increase your blog traffic and for second part keep a close eye on the next upcoming post.
