A
reader recently asked for ideas that would help increase blog traffic. Growing
traffic is one thing, of course; convincing visitors to stay , and to subscribe
and/or return, is closely aligned with every blog-building effort. You need
both! Here are a few ideas.
1.
Beef up your Twitter followers
I’ve
often said that Twitter is one of the best social media platforms for growing a
blog. But if you want to leverage the power of Twitter, you’ll need lots and
lots of followers. The more followers, the wider your net will be cast, and
20,000 is better than 2,000. That takes time. If you’re weary of the time
commitment, try using the free (or paid) version of ManageFlitter. I
hear this is the vendor people prefer and get results from.
ALSO,
be sure you’re tweeting links to your own blog posts every few
hours or so, M-F, between 6 am and 6 pm. Try 6, 9, 12, 3, 6 o’clock. Tweet
other peoples’ content as well, be sure to retweet others, and develop a
Twitter support group of fans and friends who share your links. Review Using Twitter Lists To Grow Your Blog to
simplify the process.
2.
Be consistent about interacting live
