Getting Traffic Through Blogs
by Peter Phillips
A blog is just a webpage that gets updated more regularly
than a site, usually on a daily basis. You need ever changing and relevant
material on your blog, to attract visitors and turn them into loyal
readers.
You can submit your blog to the many online blog directories. If you
submit to the blog directories under the proper category, and have interesting
content, you can reach many targeted prospects who will want to read
the latest post in your area of specialization.
Blogs can also promote a relationship with your readers because it allows them
to interact with you, by posting a comment on your own post. Your readers can
tell their friends about the great blog they’ve just found, and news of
your blog will grow virally. For example, if you have 1000 readers and each
one tells someone else, that will bring in another 1000 new readers..
Blogs will help you build traffic by getting the search engine spiders to visit
the site more often, because your content is changing, perhaps every day. Search
engines love changing content, especially on pages with content related keywords.
An advantage of a blog over a regular site is that there is no uploading of
pages to web host accounts, as blog postings are automatically hosted
for you at no cost. The big player in the blog hosting market is www.blogger.com,
owned by Google. Also most sites will enable you to install Word Press
via your CPanel
All in all, Blogs are another resource you can use to make
money online!
