A common question we get asked is “how do I get more unique daily visitors to my blog?” The first days of the life of your blogs are, of course, the most difficult because a lot of work is required without any certainty that you will achieve the desired results. Part of your strategic plan should focus on how to increase your blog traffic.
This article looks at a specific set of strategies you can employ to increase your blog traffic and help you increase daily page views. Even if you already achieve great results with your blog, these tips can help you improve visitor numbers beyond expectations.
Class A items?
Take an hour each day to brainstorm, research, and write your quality A-Class articles. These articles are sometimes referred to as “killer articles”, “linkbaits” or “pillar articles”. The goal is to publish or release a class A article each week. If that’s out of the question, try to post one at least every 15 days. That hour you put aside each day should be devoted solely to your Class A articles. By the time you publish, you should have spent 5-10 hours on content.
These articles are longer than the typical blog post (over 1000 words) and are structured to provide a great deal of information and subsequently value to your visitors. Good value equals improved blog traffic! If you have a restaurant or food blog, for example, you can put together an article that offers “100 free ideas for creating the perfect meal.” Here are some of the concept templates used in A-Class articles:
- Provide an extensive list of resources.
- Write detailed and informative content that teaches the reader “how” to do something.
- Offer solutions for common problems associated with a topic.
- Write a detailed analysis on a topic that is usually covered only in a cursory context.
When your visitors find out that it is a Class A item, it should offer a real wow factor. They should be thinking “that’s great, I’m going to bookmark this and tweet it right away.” They should be overwhelmed by the quality and information provided. Something less and has not achieved the final result.
Networking
Networking is essential and never more critical than when you are just starting out. Try to spend about 30 minutes each day networking, which may include:
- When commenting on other blogs in your niche, choose wisely, as you don’t want to waste time. Focus on the best quality blogs that have high exposure.
- Link to posts created by bloggers in your niche.
- Engage with bloggers in your niche through email, instant messaging, Twitter, and even Facebook.
The goal here is to build genuine relationships within your specific niche. Don’t waste time focusing on anyone you think can help promote your blog. Look for connections that you respect for the quality of your work and with which you think you can develop a symbiotic relationship. This is a connection that works both ways, for you and for them. Spend a little time finding sites that have a regular, steady stream of blog traffic, and discover ways you could form a partnership or collaboration.
Promotion
Again, expect to allow about 30 minutes a day to promote your Class A items. You have put all the effort into preparing it, a little more time to make sure the item is discovered and used is time well spent. Every time you complete and publish a Class A article, you need to market it in every possible way you can think of with the sole goal of increasing your blog traffic. This can include:
- Advising people in your network niche – Make sure they know.
- Inform bloggers and webmasters of relevant niches about your article.
- Get others to submit your article to social media and bookmarking sites.
- Ask your friends and acquaintances to post the article on Twitter.
- Post about the article in online forums and newsgroups.
If you have free time, focus on SEO (search engine optimization) and social media marketing for the article and your blog in general. Social media is an important process and will help increase your blog traffic. This could involve keyword research or promoting your blog on Facebook or guest blogging on alternative sites.
Regular article posts
Your blog can’t survive on your A-class articles alone. Your regular routine posts are essential to stay consistent and provide fresh content. Unique and fresh content will raise your position in search engine rankings and as such increase your blog traffic. We recommend publishing 3-5 periodicals for every class A article you publish. Here are some ideas for your regular blog posts:
- A post that links to an article on another blog that provides your thoughts on the post or topic.
- Select a news event in your niche and post an article expressing your opinion.
- Ask your readers a question by posting an article that starts the discussion.
- Write an article that highlights a new resource that you have discovered and that may interest your readers.
While Class A articles are essential for promoting and marketing your blog, as well as attracting new readers, your regular posts are the essential component of your blog that creates diversity in your content and keeps your readers interested and coming back for you. plus.
