Savvy Entrepreneur's Way To Drive Traffic To Your Website
Blogging has become increasingly popular in the past couple of years and video blogging is virtually exploding. There are more and more blogs created everyday on a vast array of topics, both personal and business.
If you own a website, then you know how difficult it is to get exposure to it. Creating a stratigic blog is one of the best resources available today to create desired exposure for your website.
Focus on your website or business when creating new posts. You want to approach your blog strategically. Think about what your target market is looking for. What are their needs and the questions they need answered. Many people are searching for content for their existing websites, marketing advice, and/or finding work at home jobs and home businesses, while some people may be searching for friendship and are interested in simply having a good time. Some people are interested in infant clothing, toys, various baby items, and parenting tips or advice. There are millions of people turning to the internet every day looking for answers or a service that you may be able to provide. Make sure they can find you!
Keep the content keyword rich. Connect with your creative side...we all possess some level of creativity! Give it a try...you just may surprise yourself at what you manage to conjure up. Do not try to have perfect content. This will keep you from posting. Dr. Charlie Drake says, “Imperfect published content is better than perfect content that never gets off the shelf!”
Consistency is important. Search engines rank you higher when you are submitting content regularly. If you can, video blog! This will do amazing things for your search engine ranking!
Tips On Getting Comments:
1) Simply invite people to join in on the conversations and encourage them to comment on the various posts within your blog description.
2) If you own a website and message board, and you have advertising space available for other webmasters or business owners, announce a contest on your message board offering free advertising for the person that posts the most comments on your blog. (I have a good friend that has done this very thing and it's working great for her.)
3) Give people a chance to self promote their websites or businesses through their comments. If someone leaves your site for their business, they were not the right person for you anyway! There is abundance and the more you give, the more you will receive!
4) Offer something free...for example, a free ebook or some kind of software.
5) Participate in message boards, announcing your blog, and request their opinion. Ask them to place a comment post and share their thoughts and opinions about your blog.
Promoting Your Blog:
1) Always include a link back to your blog when commenting on other message forums in your signature block..
2) Advertise in forums that have been created for your niche.
3) Submit your blog in blog directories.
4) Exchange links with other bloggers.
5) Write articles relating to blogging and submit them to article directories.
6) Advertise your blog in various newsletters and ezines.
7) Include your blog link on any websites you may have.
One Last Thought:
Have fun with your blog. If there is something (off the wall) that you want to share or you think is really amusing...share it in your blog. Write about anything you feel like writing. The possibilities are endless!
