Techniques to get More Traffic to your weblog
A)Blogging page no different from a website page. Many
Bloggers believe that posting blogs regularly is the best and
only way to get the blog promotion.While posting a blog entry
they forget that the resulting page will be no different than
the html and php webpages they used to create for their
website.The basic SEO rules for the blog page is same for a page
created in html or asp or any other language.It is therefore
necessary to give importance to tags and links while making a
blog entry.Example :
-Keep the title small.Make sure it
includes the keyword you think your users will use while make a
serach.
-Use and tags to your keyword in the page.
-Make
sure you use well anchored text with keyword and that no links
go to a 404 page not found.If a page is not available make sure
that the 404 goes to sitemap page or notifies user of the
problem.
-Make the content rich and big in size(do not keep
it small) and make sure that there is no keyword spam in the
blog entry.
-Use links to post on blogs on your website.Also
allow the search facility so that users can search the blog from
your website.
Note that the only advantage of a Blog over a simple page is
that the blog will get indexed faster.
B)Blogging and pinging. To get the best out of your blog
you need to blog regularly.Make a schedule and try to stick to
it.It is best to Blog everyday with fresh and rich content to
get visitors rushing to your site.Although it is best adviced to
blog on a daily basis it should be noted that blogging stale 5
line content will not help you in any way.It is therefore better
that you are Blogging 2-3 time a week with new and rich content
with properly formatted html. If you are using a script like
Blogger.com for blogging make sure that you are pinging
sites.This will tell them that your blog has been updated. You
may also ping sites manually.Below are the list of sites you can

Note : If you are also
using Pingomatic then make sure that you dont use the same sites
already pinged through pingomatic. It is best adviced to use
auto pinging service(On each post) rather than manually pinging
each and every site.
C)Auto discovery This meta tag will help the viewer's
feed reader to auto discover the RSS feed URL and make it easier
for him to add your feed. This will result in greater exposure
to your feed. link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="RSS 2.0″
href="http://www.YourRssUrlHERE.com/abc2.php" / Make sure to put
this in head tag.If you are using Advanced script like WordPress
then this is automatically created for you.
An example : link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="RSS Feed" href="http://www.YourDomain.com/rssfile.xml" /
You can replace the RSS file (rssfile.xml) with your blog's rss
file.Example if your Wordpress blog is at www.xyz.com/blog then
your RSS would be www.xyz.com/blog/wp-rss2.php and hence the
Auto discovery file would be : link rel="alternate"
type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed"
href="http://www.xyz.com/blog/wp-rss2.php" / Make sure this
particular meta tag is in between your head tag of your blog.
Note : You may also added it to your Non blog page which is
displaying the RSS content.Utility available for this in
software package.
