Build Blog Traffic Using Both Articles And Twitter.

Posted on by

We all want more Blog traffic and the best solution that I have found is using this simple yet effective three pronged attack using blog posts, articles and Twitter.

1. Adapting my best blog post into +- 300 word articles.

2. Publishing these articles on ezine directories that have Twitter feed.

3. Actively building a Twitter following.

More on each of these:

1. Publishing articles in a popular Ezine such as www.ezinearticles.com is a great way to exponentially explode your exposure and expertise to people interested in your topic. Why? Because they are searching for information in that category. A targeted prospect interested in your topic… Search engines such as Google have much regard for articles published here. One article of mine has being read by over 750 viewers since December and is still working for me.

2. Publishing these articles on ezine directories that have Twitter feed. Some ezines, (in the author tools section) manages your Twitter details in order to broadcast to your followers your newly published article details. Of course when they read it, in the resource box you lace it with a compelling offer to visit your blogs squeeze page for your news letter.

3. Actively building a Twitter following. On Twitter you can find an enormous amount of interested people in your niche or passion topic. These again are a targeted audience that you want frequenting your blog… so go out and follow them. What normally happens they reciprocate back. A great force to use.

These three elements, blogs, articles and Twitter are what I am concentrating on now that gets me my blog traffic.

As Bloggers we are in a unique position to adapt our more promising blog posts as published articles on sites such as www.ezinearticles.com. These ezine websites attract a lot of attention from the search engines such as Google. This is a good place for your article to be picked up and read. :-)

1.The main reason for publishing an article is to promote your blog site or any other idea by skillfully using the resource box at the end of your article. This is where you lead the reader into the resource box and a carrot to prompt a click into something juicy on offer.

2. On these sites, articles are allowed to be copied and published else where in their complete form including your resource box. Your article is now viral and spreads with time.

3. As your article appears on other sites valuable back links are now created which increase your search engine rankings making your site further exposed to your audience. Puts your site on the map so to speak!!!

All in all published articles sourced from your blog posts are good for exposure. The more you publish, the more traffic will arrive.
Good Luck…

Ok, so you have decided on a niche to blog on, set up a Word Press, or a Blogging account, researched your niche and started blogging using all the tips given in previous posts of this Blog.

Great…. You have found products to promote, found ways to commercialise and capitalise your blog. Now how do you find and bring visitors to your on line web site?

Other than creating interesting and relevant content, using key word rich text, the next most important topic to cover is getting BACK LINKS to your blog.

Back links:

These can be created in a number of ways. Signing up with various Forums in your niche, leaving quality comments on similar blogs ranking high in Google search results, writing articles on your subject matter, to post on various Ezine publishers such as Ezine Articles.com, and always leave your blog URL and key words to link back to your site. You want your URL on other sites but not in a way to cause spam. This is the basic HTML code that you can use on most sites to get an active back link.

<a href=”http://www.domain.com”>www.yourdomain.com</a>   will become www.yourdomain.com

You can write anything where it says www.yourdomain.com such as click here or your keyword subject title.

All this is to get the search engines coming to your site. The more relevant these sites to your niche that you link to, the better.

Another way is to set up another 4 to 5 sub niche blogs related to your MAIN NICHE. As an example: Main blog is called:” Christine’s Golden Labrador Breeding Program”. Now create other blogs around it, like “How to raise your Golden Labrador puppies the correct way” and ” Where to Finding Suitable registered Golden Labrador Males to breed with” ect.

Once you have set up and created unique content for these sub niche’s, create cross links (Back Links) as above to all these sites. The search engines will soon be crawling all over these sites bringing visitors interested in your niche. This is some hard work, but well worth it. Stay focused on this, get it right and all you have to do is keep adding fresh material to keep it interesting.

Stay tuned for more newbie blogging strategies to grow your on line business.
