Posts=Traffic - The Reason Why You Should Keep Posting To Your Blog

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Like many people with blogs, you want more traffic. This is understandable if you are looking to make money. There are hundreds of methods and strategies for generating traffic. The most important and least obvious strategy to most people is that you must blog every single day. The content is what brings people back over and over again. Sadly, many people forget this or never learn it in the first place.

Giving Up Early
Beginners to blogging worry that the blog is a waste of time after a few weeks or even days in some cases. The reason is because they are looking for instant gratification even though it could take months for a website to be generating steady traffic and income. This is what deters many people from creating more then one blog and completely quitting internet marketing all together because they are getting $0.10 a day.

Choosing Expensive Key Words Can Be Bad
For the most part, people with blogs will decide on a topic that offers the largest adsense income. This is because they are trying to make a lot of money fast. This is not a good idea because you will end up losing interest. Who wants to write a blog about DWI lawyers? In addition, these words have very tough competition in search engines because those lawyers are going to have there websites up there.

Building Loyalty
When you blog, you will be writing for people right? Many people forget this and write completely for search engines. They pack their posts with key words and phrases so they can try to reach the top of Google. This may work to increase traffic but those readers will not come back again and again. The amount of loyal visitors will grow over time. This will become the bulk of your traffic and later your advertising income.

This strategy for traffic generation may be obvious but you would be surprised if you searched the different blog databases on the net. So, the next time you go to create a blog, make sure you write about a topic you know about and prepare to write every day for at least a month before decreasing to a couple of posts a week.

Key Word Research For A Blog

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Here are a few tips you need to follow to make sure you create a blog the correct way. Of course you are not limited to the following plan, but it is great for beginners or anyone who wants a plan laid out for them. You can always think of an idea for your own blog. That is the way to get the real money. If you create an idea that really draws a crowed and a lot of interest, you will have a great blog. In any case, here are a few suggestions for you.

Key Word Selection

When starting your blog, you want to make sure you have one that will draw a crowed. This is for the people who don’t know what people are researching. (Some marketers know how the consumers mind works according to the fullness of the moon). In any case, if you know how many times a key phrase is searched in the search engines, you know the kind of traffic you could be getting.

Now we go to the key word generating tool so we can read the web surfers activity. www.inventory.overture.com is a great tool for this. If you are interested in a particular subject, you type it in and get a list of related words with their search volume. You can use this is as an indicator for what your blog should be about. You may want to start a blog about how chickens bladders work, but if people are not interested, you will get no traffic. Of course there are those who think that sort of thing is interesting and bookmark it. At some moments, the internet marketing world is random and chaotic.

High Paying Key Phrases

It may seem obvious for you to peruse a blog with high paying key phrases but don’t you think if you found some high paying adsense key phrase, others have as well? Of course they have. Everyone has a “VOIP’, “student loan consolidation”, and “DWI lawer”, website! There is high competition. This does not mean you should not try. I’m saying if you are not interested in these topics and can’t post in the blog daily, you should change to a new topic. There is a site that lists the high paying adsense words. Just search Google and it will be there.

There really is nothing else you need to know about key word research. It really is not all that important. If you are going to optimize your blog for some competitive key phrases, get ready for a struggle. I prefer to aim for the low searched phrases and work myself up. Good luck to you.
