Efficient Analyzise Using Stat Tracking Tools
Posted by webmaster
An efficient way to analyze many aspects of your blog is to use a stat tracking tool. Such tools measure not only how many visitors come to your website, but also provide a lot of additional facts like length of visit, geographical location, keywords used to reach the site, referring websites and other. Such information can be used in a multitude of ways, but let me give you an example.
Let's say that you are looking at keywords used by people using search engines to reach your site. Take notes of different terms being used to find your website and you will be often amazed how they reached you. Now that you know what the readers are interested in, you can even try to write posts on some of the topics that are related to the keywords being used, because you know that your readers have interest in it. Furthermore, one of the best aspects of such tracking tools is that most of them are completely free.
Get traffic for your website from Digg and Reddit
Posted by webmaster
Looking at social news sites such as Digg and Reddit and how you can get traffic from them.
The difference between getting traffic from mainstream news sites and getting traffic from niche news sites is more significant than you'd assume. Not only is it a more lucrative concept but the gains can be seemingly massive.
Quantity of traffic
The first thing to address is the quantity of traffic that sites like Digg and Reddit can deliver. Being frontpaged on a niche news site can send hundreds of users, whereas Digg can send 20,000. That's a big difference, especially if your server can't handle it (or if you pay for your bandwidth by the megabyte). Literally thousands of people an hour and that's a lot to take.
Quality of traffic
The quality of traffic from these sites is quite low; more than likely they'll sit on your site for 2-5 seconds before going elsewhere. However you are dealing with tech-savvy users so expect comments (and expect to be hacked if there's an obvious vulnerability).
It doesn't take much to get some visitors
Unlike niche sites that only offer hundreds at the best of times, a good submission on Digg that doesn't reach the front page will still receive a 200 or so visitors anyway. So you don't have to reach the homepage to see some improvement (although 200 visitors isn't exactly anything to call home about). Still, every little helps if you've got nothing to begin with.
#1 - Offer a quantifiable reason for reading your content
;quot;The 10 best Photoshop tutorials;quot; or ;quot;64% of users hate OSX;quot;. Offering a flat out statistic helps give numerical value to your post. Readers will know exactly where you're going with it and you're not asking them to think. Using a good title that quantifies your post will give you a great advantage over others - people will Digg you just for your title. So if you're saying ;quot;12% of Americans couldn't find France;quot;, people who think that message is worthy will Digg it without ever visiting your site.
#2 - Offer discussion
Interaction is key when you're trying to pick up support, so offer rational but insightful discussion around a topic. Mainstream news site users are self-important know it alls (I know because I am one) and offering them opportunity to voice their opinion always works.
#3 - Watch trends and avoid them
As with all things that become popular, the underground pushes back against them hard. So if loads of Photoshop tutorials start becoming popular, or ;quot;Top 10...;quot; seems synonymous with success, avoid it at all costs. These users are smart and can see when people are trying to piggyback on trends and they'll push you away. Avoid trends because the users will push back against them - including your submission.
#4 - Research your topic carefully
As I said before, users on mainstream news sites like these are smart. There's also a lot of them so if you say something incorrect someone will pick up on it - and that's not good. You'll look like a fool and no one wants that.
#5 - Add the widgets to your site
Add the ;quot;Digg this;quot; button to your site to help you pick up Diggs (and prod readers into submitting your content for you). Quite often users will click through from Digg/Reddit, like your content but not go back to give you their vote - including the widget on your site will prompt them to register their support. It's simple really.
As with all the other systems, for this to work you ideally need to be an active participant in the site for your submissions to have any chance of survival. But it's time well spent, 20,000 visitors in one go can do very good things for you. Very good things indeed.
Get traffic for your website from friends and networking
Posted by webmaster
I'll be discussing how you can use a network of friends to build your traffic.
As everyone knows, backlinks normally equal traffic; directly or otherwise. More back links will help your search engine listings (especially if your network of friends are within a similar niche). So how does this work?
If you have friends within a similar niche, trade
If you've got friends in a similar niche as yourself then offer to trade links with them - even better if you can get them to use your RSS feed to showcase your latest posts. You obviously will do the same for them. This means that their readers will see your latest post titles in the same way your readers will see theirs.
If you have no friends, make them!
Become an active participant on a blog within your niche of comparable size; once you get to know the owner you'll both see that it'd be mutually beneficial. Your content may be similar but not identical. It's a tough trade off because it'll feel like you're helping another blog, but they'll be helping you too.
How this helps you
Backlinks = SEO. SEO = good. Good = traffic. You've then got another friend within your niche and that's good. It's also not costing you anything - that's the big bonus. If you were purchasing text links on random niche sites it'd be costing you $30 per month per site; and even then readers aren't seeing your latest post titles. However doing an RSS feed exchange with a friend means you do, so that's good too.
It's a good lesson in writing titles too
If you're trying to steal as many readers from the other website as possible it becomes a great lesson in writing attractive article titles. I'm not advocating pointlessly sensationalist titles but you need to write descriptive titles to entice users into reading them - it's simple really. It's also an important lesson in blogging.
Build a network of friends; if you have 5 friends sharing feeds then you could see some noticeable traffic. One of the sites my feed appears on is my 19th biggest traffic source over the past 12 months (which may not sound like much, but would you rather have it or not? Plus that's still 2,000 visitors). Sure it's not as impressive as the 75,000 StumbleUpon sent, or the 120,000 Google sent, but those are 2,000 high quality visitors.
There you have it, friends and networking may not change your world but it can really build into something quite meaningful.
