How to Optimize Your Blog's Traffic: 7 Steps

If you want to optimize traffic to your blog, then you are in the right place.



Steps


1. Give your blog a simple, memorable name.

• This may be the most important step of all. If you make the name of your website too long, people are bound to forget. Also, if you make the name of your site too "topic direct" (www.bobsheatingandcoolingdevices.com) people are also bound to forget.

2. Submit your website to as many directories as possible. Some of the best directories include yahoo, google, MSN, AOL. If you submit your website to a directory it can be found by the search engines. This gives you a better chance of being stumbled upon by accident.

3. Use Forums. Forums can be a great source of traffic. Join a forum, become a reliable member, post you website in your signature below your name, see your traffic rise.

4. Tell friends and family about your website. This may seem too "small scale," but if you use networking sites such as Facebook or Myspace, it can make a huge difference.

5. Post reliable, current information. Make sure your it is also exciting, relates to your niche, and is fun to read.

6. Become friends with other bloggers. Leave valuable feedback, visit your friends blogs. Doing this will likely gain you more traffic through fellow blogger's, and maybe they will even mention your website in their post's.

7. Watch your traffic grow!
