Hi friends, Blogging has become an interesting occupation. In fact more and more people are exploring it to make money through blogs.So is it really possible to be rich by writing blogs? Well, i would say yes because i've become rich blogging.Here are some tips to bring more viewers to your blogs and ultimately mint money out of it. Highlight Related Posts one of the more common practices of bloggers to encourage readers to read multiple pages on their blogs is to to highlight related posts at the end of your article. Interlink within Posts a similar but perhaps more effective technique is to highlight relevant posts within the content of your posts. If youre writing a post that mentions something similar to what youve written before simply link to your previous post from within your article. Highlight Key Posts and Categories in your Blogs Hotspots The hottest posts on this blog are those highlighted in my top three menus. Specifically it is those in the top left hand box at the top of this page that are always at the top of my most read post statistics. Depending upon the goals of your blog you may wish to fill your blogs hotspots with ads or affiliate programs or you may want to highlight key posts that are central to your blog and which will hook readers into what your blog is about (thereby increasing page views). Highlighting your category pages is also another similarly useful technique to encourage your readers to find more posts on the same topic. To explicitly name what your category is can also be useful. ie rather than just having the category name at the end of the post try something like read more posts like this in our ((insert category name)) category or filed under ((insert category name)) etc. Compilation Pages Extending the previous idea about highlighting key posts you may wish to use posts in these positions that sneeze readers not just to one post on your blog but many. Series While you need to be a bit careful with writing series of posts over periods of time, they are a great way to keep readers coming back and once they are complete to have them surf through multiple pages on your blog. The most popular series on this blog is my Adsense for Bloggers series which leads readers through 8 posts. Dont just do a series for the sake of increasing page views of course this can really frustrate readers but use them on longer posts or when youre genuinely wanting to interact with a larger topic over time. Excerpts on Front Pages I personally like using excerpts on front pages it is not about page views for me. Personally using excerpts in this way is more about keeping my front page manageable and highlighting multiple posts on the front page. ie if a reader can come to my blog and see not only the last post but the title of the second and maybe even the third post then they are more likely to explore more than just the last thing youve written. I tend to only use the extended entry feature on longer articles and allow shorter ones of a paragraph or two go up on the main page unless I either forget or see the post as an important one. Excerpts in RSS There is always debate over this topic of full or partial RSS feeds. I know some bloggers main purpose in partial feeds is to get bloggers directly onto their blog thereby increasing their impression/page view count. While this is certainly a benefit of partial feeds it is not my own reason for using them. Rather I use them for copyright protection and to stop people scraping my full content onto their sites via RSS. Whatever reason you choose to use partial/excerpt feeds you should also realize that doing so will cause some readers to unsubscribe to your blog completely. I know in going only with partial feeds that there are some other bloggers who refuse to visit my blog this is a cost/benefit scenario that individual bloggers need to weigh up. Enable links in RSS Feeds Another way is to enable the ability to post html/links in their RSS and then using links to previous posts in their blog, especially in the first paragraph or two of their posts. Search Function most blog blog platforms have the ability to use a search feature on your blog which enables users to search your blog for keywords. This feature obviously helps your readers to locate other posts on your site and as a result increases the potential for a multiple page view visit. Build an Interactive Blog one way to get readers coming back to your blog many times over a day is to have a blog that people want to interact with. Quality Content -This should go without saying but needs to be reinforced. Obviously if you write quality content your readers will want more of the same. Useful, original and interesting content should leave your readers hungering for more. Choose the Right Blog Software:The right blog CMS makes a big difference. If you want to set yourself apart, I recommend creating a custom blog solution - one that can be completely customized to your users. In most cases, WordPress, Blogger, MovableType or Typepad will suffice, but building from scratch allows you to be very creative with functionality and formatting. Host Your Blog Directly on Your Domain: Hosting your blog on a different domain from your primary site is one of the worst mistakes you can make. A blog on your domain can attract links, attention, publicity, trust and search rankings - by keeping the blog on a separate domain, you shoot yourself in the foot. Write Title Tags with Two Audiences in Mind: First and foremost, you're writing a title tag for the people who will visit your site or have a subscription to your feed. Title tags that are short, snappy, on-topic and catchy are imperative. You also want to think about search engines when you title your posts, since the engines can help to drive traffic to your blog. Participate at Related Forums & Blogs: Whatever industry or niche you're in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that's already active. Depending on the specificity of your focus, you may need to think one or two levels broader than your own content to find a large community, but with the size of the participatory web today, even the highly specialized content areas receive attention. Tag Your Content: Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts. - Launch Without Comments (and Add Them Later): There's something sad about a blog with 0 comments on every post. It feels dead, empty and unpopular. Luckily, there's an easy solution - don't offer the ability to post comments on the blog and no one will know that you only get 20 uniques a day. Once you're upwards of 100 RSS subscribers and/or 750 unique visitors per day, you can open up the comments and see light activity. Don't Jump on the Bandwagon: Some memes are worthy of being talked about by every blogger in the space, but most aren't. Just because there's huge news in your industry or niche DOES NOT mean you need to be covering it, or even mentioning it (though it can be valuable to link to it as an aside, just to integrate a shared experience into your unique content). Many of the best blogs online DO talk about the big trends - this is because they're already popular, established and are counted on to be a source of news for the community. If you're launching a new blog, you need to show people in your space that you can offer something unique, different and valuable - not just the same story from your point of view. This is less important in spaces where there are very few bloggers and little online coverage and much more in spaces that are overwhelmed with blogs (like search, or anything else tech-related). - Link properly: When you link out in your blog posts, use convention where applicable and creativity when warranted, but be aware of how the links you serve are part of the content you provide.
