Increasing the number of visitors to your blog is a topic that EVERY blogger needs to know about. There is a helpful post over at Performancing titled “10 Tips for More Blog Traffic” that gives a list of things that even an inexperienced blogger can do to increase visitors. Here are a few that I really recommend:
1. Claim your blog at services like Technorati
This is an easy option that has a few benefits, though in my opinion, 2 important ones:
People will more easily find your blog using the topic/keyword searches
You will be able to see how many blogs are linking to you
2. Use Ping services like PinGoat or Ping-O-Matic
If you are using WordPress, this is most likely already happening. (Ever notice how long it can take to publish your post??) Check out the settings at the bottom of “Options->Writing” in the Admin Console for your blog.
3. Use FeedBurner for your RSS publishing
I mention this when talking about my preferred WordPress plugins in this post: “WordPress Plugins – What and Why”
For the rest of the list, go take a look at the blog. Like I said, it’s very helpful…
