How to Get the Most SEO and Web Traffic Benefits from Blogging
1. How to Get the Most SEO and
Web Traffic Benefits from
Blogging
2. The best way to get people and search engines (which
means more people) to your website is by getting relevant
inbound links. If you have some spiffy new gimmick on
your website this may be easy as everyone will be linking
to you.
3. However, with a basic, solid web page the process maybe
much more difficult and slower. How do you get people to
link to you?
4. The best way is to empty your wallet! Ok, just kidding, but
first we will learn how easy that is.
5. For example there is a pay for blogging service that will
cost you at least $5 per blog post (ie: per link) and maybe
$25 or more. Now that will eat up your budget, and fast.
These paid blog links don't come with any guarantee. You
might get lots of visitors and you might not get any at all.
6. Pay per click is another great option for spending all your
money. This will bring you visitors for sure and you'll know
how much each one costs. That's it. There is no long term
benefit. The ads show for only as long as you pay for
them. When your money isn't on the table, you don't
exist!
7. You can buy links all over the place and again this may end
up costing you a pretty penny, you may or may not get
suitable results but when you stop paying the results
(good or bad) stop. You gain nothing for the future.
8. Now blogs are a great way to get visitors and develop a
long term return. Blog posts tend to stick around for a long
time. The trick here is to get people to blog about your
website without forking over a bundle of your hard earned
cash.
9. A great idea is to become a guest blogger. This would be
where you write blog posts for other people's blogs. Read:
your links on someone else's website for free!
10. This puts you in the drivers seat for a couple of reasons.
First you have control over exactly what is said.
Secondly, if you do a good job you may have the
opportunity to make regular blog posts. That will build an
audience on the blogs for your writing and turn into more
and higher quality traffic for your website.
11. The key to being a great guest blogger is to write short (3
to 6 or so paragraph) posts that are
interesting, informative, humorous and relevant to the
topic of the blog (and your website). Of course they should
have a link to your website. Don't over do the linking.
Don't make it sound like an advertisement or something
you just cut and pasted from your website.
12. A few minutes to compose a couple of well thought out
paragraphs could do wonders for your web traffic. Keep
looking for guest blogging opportunities and never use the
same post for more than one blog. One post could bring a
lifetime of traffic.
13. This may well be your most effective way to developing
quality web traffic and enhancing your the SEO for your
website(s).
