Special Tips for Traffic

Labels: , ,

Specialists Tips for Traffic Building

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!


4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it’’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

10. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

Increasing Website Traffic by Increasing Article Quality

Quality article writing is some how challenging, needs patience and planning, but it worth Millions. A well written niche article attracts quality traffic and increase the readership of a website than any other website traffic inducing methods.

Quality article depends on best writing strategies, herewith I have outlined some strategies will improve the quality of the article writing and it leads to effective writing for the internet.

Planning A Proper Objective:
Before start writing, a clear vision should be in mind, What will be the theme of my article? Or What Subject I have to cover in my article? For Example " Search Engine Optimization For Beginners"

Keep Readers In Mind:
When you writing an article bear in mind that, you are writing the article for someone other than you. You should write the article so that the readers can able to follow it. The writing style of the article should match with the capability of the target viewers. You can ask the question by yourself like Whether the target viewers are technically beginners or advanced users?. If the target users are beginners then the article should be written in lucid style so that it can be easily understood by them

Keyword Rich Article Topic:
Choosing the keyword rich title for the article will greatly influence the search engines and also the viewers . So before start writing the article, it was better to experiment the keyword analysis with the key word tools like overture, SEO book available on net.

Placing Of Keywords:
After finding the relevant keyword, place the keyword in the appropriate place in the articles by the way that it will influence the search engines and viewers. For Example If you writing the article about SEO Training then place the appropriate keyword in the article and embed the hyperlink to your website like I did. Don't place too many keywords and spam the article, select two or three selectively and use them effectively.

Planning The Article Structure:
Properly organized article is getting more readership than improperly organized article although having the rich content. Today the most of the article directories are following their structure for article submissions.

Basically the article should contain * Title of the article * Summary of the article * Body of the article * Conclusion (optional , if used it could be better) * Bio Grapy and signature * Copyright notice (optional)

Write what you experienced:
A successful article writer presents his article in the form of what he/she experienced for the particular subject. Don't be over smart, the readers need not to be a beginner in a subject so share what you experienced personally and respect the readers.

Article Content:
The article should be free form errors or misleading information. As far as possible the article should, reduce the grammatical errors, unnecessary characters, and design symbols. Poorly written article will create bad impression on the writers and their products/services.

Use Short paragraphs:
When you writing the article, try to break the sentences into paragraphs and make the viewers easier to read. When breaking the sentences makes sure that the aligned paragraphs are grouped into meaningful paragraphs.

Reference Links:
If need, put the reference subjects for further reading. Put the hyper links in particular keywords that may need further reference for the viewer.

Review Before Posting:
After writing the article take some time to review the article by your self, I always review my article before I present it to the readers. Forwarding the articles to your friends and staffs and getting opinion from them is also a good practice.

Conclusion: Planning the article objectives, following the viewer friendly article structure and good writing practice lead to quality of the article writing.

Website Traffic Using Google Image Search

Labels: , , , , ,

Ways to Increase Website Traffic Using Google Image Search

Google search engine indexes images in your web pages. When someone uses Google Image Search to find images on the web, what chance does your website have to show up in the search results?

If you know how to optimize images in your web pages, your images will have high rankings in the image search results. Using higly relevant and properly optimized images in your web pages will bring quality traffic from Google Image Search. Use the techniques described below for optimizing Google Image Search.

>>1. Use the alt attribute in the html img tag. This is the most important one. Use a specific keyword or a key phrase that identifies what the image is all about. If the image is a new car, use the key phrase 'new car', instead of car or traffic, in the alt attribute.

>>2. Use the title attribute in the img tag. The title attribute is what people see when they hover the mouse over the image. You can use the same text for title that you use for the alt attribute.

>>3. Use both the width and the height attributes for the image. If the image height is unknown, use the image width. You should always use the image width from a design standpoint. Unknown image width can break your horizontal layout forcing your web site visitors to scroll horizontally which is very annoying.

>>4.
Put some description texts just beneath the image. For example, 'a red rose blossoming in a quite morning' for the red rose image. Make the key word, red rose, bold. When Google displays the image in the image search result page, the result page will also display the texts surrounding the image.


>>5. Don't use image1, image2, etc. for the image file names. just use descriptive names. For example, use new car for a new car image file. You can use the same text that you use for the alt attribute. Just hyphenate the words if it is a key phrase.

>>6. Choose your anchor texts in links to images carefully. Instead of 'click here for larger image' as the text link to an image, you can use 'a large red rose picture is here' as the anchor text.

>>7. Put all your images in a root folder and, if you prefer, categorize your images in sub-folders under the root image folder. Make sure that your robot file does not limit access to the image folders. Use the img and src tags for images on your web pages. Avoid all types of java script tricks. Goolge search engine spider will be able to index all your images. If you have descriptive image files names, they will have high relevancy in Google image search results.

>>8. Use Google trends to find hot topics. Use your creativity to establish a credible relevancy between you images and the hot trends. For example, if 'Hunt for red December' is the hot topic, you can use 'Hunt for red December Rose' as your image text.

Google image search build a huge traffic in any site.So that's important for every site.





Increase unique visitors

Labels: ,

Tips to increase unique visitors to your site:

Once you have come to accept that traffic generation will take some
time, you can proceed in considering the techniques you can employ.
Here are some tactics that are especially designed to garner unique
visitors:

Viral marketing :
Viral marketing is the most powerful way of
generating unique visitors at a consistent pace and at an
exponential rate. Think of it as the online equivalent of
word-of-mouth advertising. 5 visitors can become 25. 25 visitors
can become 125. 125 visitors can become 875. And it will never
stop. The number will just keep increasing. There are many viral
marketing tools that you can distribute for free, each of them
should carry your business message, i.e. a link to your website.
Because it's free, people will, by nature, be encouraged to
distribute it to the own networks, resulting in the exponential
spread of the same for the benefit of your website.So do the smart things now.

Article marketing :
Article marketing is often resorted to for its
power of creating back links for your website. But this strategy
can instantly transform people into unique visitors for your
website. Write an informative article and readers will immediately
view you as an expert. They'll trust what you have to say, and
they'll seek out what you have to share. Article marketing is not
only for the establishment of many back links. Its true power lies
in its branding capabilities.

Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising :
If you have some money to spend,
then PPC advertising can prove to be the fastest and even the most
efficient way of generating high quality traffic. The reason?
Because with PPC programs, your link can appear prominently on the
results page of every relevant search. You won't have to compete
with millions of websites anymore. All you have to do is to enrol
yourself with a program like Google AdWords and pay the same a
certain amount corresponding to a bid you would have made. You'd be
charged every time a user clicks on your link.

Create High Quality Articles:
It is the simple way to increse unique visitors.You have to create high informative articles to do this.

There are more strategies, but I am only concerned with
unique visitors in this article. By employing the tactics I have
mentioned above, you're sure to generate a lot of them in due time,
once the seeds you have planted would gestate. Please check
out my site below for lots more targeted traffic.
