10 BEST PRACTICES TO INCREASE BLOG TRAFFIC

Dynamic Search, LLC.

1. Write More Content

Blogs should have a constant flow of new content to keep readers interested.

Aim for two posts per month. Posts can vary regarding topic, so long

as they stay within one genre.

2. Integrate Good Design and Layout

Clean, organized design and layout increases the probability that visitors will stay on a website or blog.

Bounce backs occur more often with difficult to navigate websites that have poor design.

3. Tag Each Image

It is vital to tag all captions and alt tags. When search engines crawl a post, they

read the alt tags, not the image itself.

4. Pay Attention to Statistics

Blog traffic can show a wealth of information, including: Which keywords are rewarding the most

traffic Which topics are the most popular

By reviewing stats, more effective posts can be created.

5. Re-read and Edit All Posts

All posts should be free of errors, including spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

Visitors will appreciate it and will be more likely to link to your post and return in the future.

6. Integrate Social Bookmarking Sites

It can greatly benefit a blog to have a plugin for each of the social bookmarking sites.

When readers bookmark a post on Facebook, or any other social network, their friends and connections also see your link, leading to increased traffic.

7. Be Friendly With Readers

Be sure to take the time to respond to readers.

Take the time to help out and network with other bloggers.

When readers feel like a friend, they will keep coming back.

8. Work On SEO

When time and effort are put into SEO, a blog can have a higher ranking on the search engines.

This will make it easier for potential readers to find.

9. Integrate Google AdWords This could seem like a big step, but it

could have a strong effect on traffic and followers.

By placing an ad on Google and optimizing it for the appropriate keywords, readers can find your blog more easily.

10. Use Images

Using pictures and graphics in blog posts can keep readers interested and will also help to illustrate an idea.

When blog posts are broken up into smaller text blocks by using images, it makes them easier to read.
