Blogging for Website Traffic
By now you know there are a lot of different ways to generate website traffic on the internet.
Some take a long time. Some are instant. Some are free. Some cost money.
Blogging is one of the best things you can do to promote your business and generate traffic to your direct salespages and affiliate links.
A blog is a great way to get traffic because you can use a variety of different methods to promote it.
You can use SEO for each blog post that will help you build traffic over time.
If you’re using Wordpress for your blog (most bloggers do) you’ll be able to use a variety of search engine plug-ins that will help you with doing seo. We like All in One SEO. Search for it on Google.
This takes a lot of the technicality and guess-workout of getting good rankings for your websites.
Another great thing about a blog is that you can focus solely on creating great content without having to worry about getting top search engine rankings. If you’re a Wordpress user, be sure your blog is set up to automatically ping the update services each time you make a post. In your Wordpress admin area, visit Settings => Writing => UpdateServices and be sure the text box contains this complete URL:
http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
If you create useful content, people will start linking to your blog. You’ll start receiving visitors from other trusted websites.
When people link to your blog it’s like they’re giving you a vote of confidence. They’re telling their readers that you have a good website that will provide them with awesome content.
Automatically you already have trust in their eyes. Whereas getting traffic from a search engine you’ll have to build the trust.
Blogs are interactive so people love them.
You’ll be able to read some of the comments on your blog and be able to respond accordingly which is another great way to build trust.
One of the other positives about blogs is a thing called an “RSS Feed”.
This will make it so your content can get syndicated by other websites and this is why it’s important that you have interesting headlines for your readers.
The feed will pick up the headlines and the person will decide to read depending on how interested they are in what you’re offering.
So if you’re looking at starting a blog, you can now see the benefits of doing so.
You’ll get traffic. You’ll build trust. You’ll build relationships.
In the end you’ll make a lot more
