Strange, I didn't get yesterday's e-mail in my inbox, but today is about Growing Your Blog Traffic.
Don't we all want to know about this!?!
What's the secret? What are your tips and tricks? What are your best ways to grow traffic?
There are so many things to think about and different schools of thought.
Things to consider:
-Keywords in your titles -Keywords in your main post -SEO optimization (there are scores of tutorials and plug-ins and rules and it gets so confusing!) -Do you optimize the format of your post to make it easily readable and interesting (e.g. bold font, boxes, pictures, heading tags)? -Do you guest post or allow guest posts on your blog? -Do you utilize social media and if so, do you schedule and/or automate your posts? -Do you post only great content? -Do you leave comments on other blogs? -Do you interact with other bloggers via social media? -Do you use internal links in your posts? -Have you considered give-aways, contests, or link-ups for your blog? -Do you have a "freebie" that you offer with a subscription? -Do you make sure to respond to all comments you get? -Is your blog user-friendly and sharing-friendly with sharing icons & subscription forms? -Do you update or re-post your "evergreen" content?
What have I missed?
I think one thing to remember is not to get too hung up on the "rules" and forget the real reason you blog. You don't want it to become more about the numbers and have the quality of your content decline.
Let's get this conversation started!
