How To Get More Readers To Your Blog?
Wordpress blogging system is one of the best option when it comes to blogging. It is unbelieveable flexible and customizable for ones needs. In my opinion, one of the greatest reason to choose Wordpress is its SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly structure.
When you have established your own blog and published your first post, all you need isaudience. In this article I will give you some useful tips how to get readers and meanwhile acquire better rankings in search engines.
In your Wordpress blog the permalink structure is set"ugly" by default. If you wrote an article about skateboarding and publish it, your articles permalink would be something like that: http://www.yoursite.com/?p=123. Ugly, isn't it? If your permalink structure is set by default, nobody (google bot or real visitor)can ever identify what's behind that URL.
The way it needs to be done:
Pick up the option "custom" in your Wordpress Settings-Permalink Settings. Write down to the field:/%postname%/
Now your unique article URL will be defined according to your articles topic. Example: Permalink to that skateboarding article would be http://www.yoursite.com/how-to-learn-skateboarding. Hence this configuration makes your blog easier to browse, search engines will index your site better.
If you have already a blog and "ugly" permalink structure with it, try usingDean Migration-Plugin. With this plugin, you can automatically redirect those old permalinks to new ones.
Another fantastic plugin isAll In One Seo. It is made for Search Engine Optimization. With the help of this tool you can define quickly and easily unique meta-descriptions, title-tags and keyword to each page and to each article. These information will be automatically sent to Google.
In addition, All In One Seo - plugin prevents you making duplicate content (Duplicate Content = many different URLs lead to the same destination- Google doesn't like it). For example, you can choose "noindex" to categories. If Mark wrote an article about kiteboarding and published it under "sports" category, Marks article wouldn't be only behind www.yoursite.com/kiteboarding but also behind www.yoursite.com/sports/kiteboarding.
Add your blog to different blog archives. You may want to take a look ofTechnorati
Number four: If you are feeling comfortable with the idea, add your blog link to yourFacebook-profile "tell something about yourself"-box and you'll get an instant traffic to your blog, for sure.
Create content regularly. Believe or not, the more constantly you write, the faster your blog become indexed in search engines.
The more articles you have in your blog, the more seriously Google takes it. Content is always the king.
But wait...
Do not create bulk. Publish only articles with interesting facts or alternatively funny stories. Nobody is really interested in reading copied stuff or content that has nothing new.
How to recognize a good article:
Interesting subject
Has some "information scent" in it
Personalized/funny
Easy to read
Short and sweet
Geniously created topic
Inspires readers
Provocative(?)
How to recognize bad article:
It has nothing new in it
the facts aren't true
copied sentences
the article is full oftypos
difficult to read because of unclear structure
meaningless topic
Increase your visitors experience by writing your articles so that they are easily read. Usebolding, chapter division, subheadings and listings. The worst thing you can do is to write every sentence one after another---then nobody won't ever mind to read your entire text. Believe me, they give up after a few sentences.
Lastly, do spell checking before publishing the article. Take out odd phrases and correct your typos. That's it!
By following these steps you will get more visitors, guaranteed!
