subject: Understanding Blog Readership [print this page] As you rank higher in the search engines you may want to think about how to increase your blogs readership. When someone hits your blog and they really enjoy reading it more than likely they will want to subscribe to future updates. This is how a blogs readership grows from 0 to 100,000. Now this does not happen overnight you must be really patient, but there are some simple steps you can take to ensure when someone wants to subscribe they have the ability. The first thing you need to do with any blog is go to feedburner.com and burn a feed for your blog. Once you have the feed burned feed burner will give you the address to your feed. This is the address that allows people to click and subscribe. You take this address and make it a link in your blogs side bar. With feed burner you can also allow people to subscribe with email all you need to do is enable and copy and paste the code into your blogs side bar. There is no magic way to get people to subscribe to your blog all you can do is increase traffic, write good content, and make it easy for the people who want to subscribe by adding links or the email box.
