How to Increase your Blog Traffic

Tip 1: Write interesting topics and write often. 

Update your blog often maybe twice or thrice a week with useful content that your readers would love. Nothing can replace a useful material to increase your readership. Good topics and well writen articles make your guests to discuss your content through their own blog or social networking sites like facebook or twitter.

Tip 2: Make your blog Easy to Navigate and Has a good design. 

If your website is hard to navigate people will just passby and will not read your blog. Or, if your text colors and your background colors are both dark, where people will not be able to read them your readership will suffer.

Tip 3: Monitor your Keyword density

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on your article or post compared to the total number of words on the post. In the context of search engine optimization keyword density can be used as a factor in determining whether a web page is relevant to a specified keyword or keyword phrase.

For example your Keyword is "Blue Jeans," make sure that the total times it will be mention on your post will not go beyond 2 to 3% of the total article or post. Using a keyword more than that could be considered search spam.

Here's the formula to calculate your Keyword density:

Nkr/Tkn x 100

Nkr - how many times you repeated a specific keyword
Tkn - total words in the text

Calculating the density of a keyword phrase:

(Nkr x Nwp/Tkn) x 100

Nkr - how many times you repeated a specific keyword
Tkn - total words in the text
Nwp - number of words in the phrase

Tip 4: Submit Your URL to Search Engines

Post your URL on search engines like Bing and Google. Search engines provide a "Submit" link where you can submit your URL and notify the search engines about your blog.

Google submit page: https://​www.google.com/webmasters/tools/​submit-url?​pli=1
Bing submit page: http://www.bing.com/toolbox/submit-site-url/

Tip 5: Comment on other blog or forums

Posting comments is a very simple but effective to increase your blog's visitors. Make sure you engage with the topic of the forum or blogs and not place robotic comment like "nice blog" then "visit my blog here." when making comments and forum post make sure that you place your link on your signature.

Tip 6: Use Social Media

Using social media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram is very effective to gain readers espicially if you have a lot of contacts.

Add a video On your Blog

If you want to add a video on your blog post, just click the film strip icon in the Post Editor toolbar above where you compose your blog text. A window appears that asks you to 'Add a video to your blog post.'

Click Browse to select the video file from your computer that you'd like to upload. Note that Blogger accepts AVI, MPEG, QuickTime, Real and Windows Media files and that your video must be less than 100MB in size.

Before uploading your video, add a title in the 'Video Title' box and agree to the Terms and Conditions (you'll only have to do this the first time that you upload a video with Blogger). Then click UPLOAD VIDEO.

While your video uploads, you'll see a placeholder in the post editor showing where your video will appear. You'll also see a status message below the post editor letting you know that your upload is in progress. Depending on the size of your video, this usually takes about five minutes. When it is complete, your video will appear in the post editor.

Add an image On your Blog

It is easy to add an image to your post using an image from your computer or the Web. Just click the image icon in the Post Editor toolbar. A window will appear that asks you to browse for an image file on your computer, or enter the URL of an image on the Web.

Once you've selected your image, you can then choose a layout to determine how your image will appear in your post:

The 'Left', 'Center', and 'Right' options allow you to customize the way your blog text will flow around your image.

The 'Image size' options will determine how large the image will appear within your post.

Click UPLOAD IMAGES to add your image, and then click DONE when the notification window appears telling you that 'Your image has been added.' Blogger will then return you to the post editor, where you'll see your image ready to be published to your blog.

You can also publish images to your blog using your mobile device, Google's free photo software Picasa, or a third-party service like flickr.

How to Start your Blogging Career

If you want to enter the world of blogging you need to start at the very beginning, and expect that it will be fun. Blog is a short word for "web log" an online journal or an online diary where you post topics that you like or stories that you want to share to the online community. Millions of people are bloggin on the world wide web. If you want people to read your blog, you need to have capture their interests. You can blog about everything, but some blogger tend to blog a specific topic like investing, Work at home moms, parenting, celebrities, etc. To get more traffic, post a topic that you have knowledge about so that you can write a lot about that topic.

The Topic of your Blog

Before starting your blog you should identify the topic of it. What will be the main subject of your blog? Will it be about food, cars, people, celebrities, fashion etc. Make sure that you are knowledgeable about your chosen topic. If you choose a topic that you know nothing about, you will have a hard time posting on it and will become another dead blog.

The name of your Blog

In naming your blog, I will suggest that it should be related to the subject of your blog. Like for example, if you blog is about automobile: joecarblog.blogspot.com, so that readers will know immediately that it's about cars. If you don't like the blogspot domain name. You can pay for your own domain name and have it joecarblog.com.

However, before you move to the custom domain name you need to purchase a custom domain (joecarblog.com) from domain name providers, purchasing domains through blogger is no longer available. There are many companies from whom you can buy domain names, usually for very reasonable yearly prices. A Google search for "domain registrar" will turn up numerous options. Here's a quick list:

EasyDNS
GoDaddy.com
ix web hosting
1and1
Yahoo! Small Business
No-IP

Once you have identified your topic and your blog name you can now create your blog.

Step 1: Once you've signed in to Blogger, you'll see your dashboard with your list of blogs.
Step 2: Click the orange pencil icon if you want to write a new post, enter anything you want to share online.
Step 3: Start by giving your post a title, then enter the post itself.
Step 4: Once you are done, click the Preview button at the top to make sure it's ready to go, and then click the Publish button to publish your post.
