Amassing followers and repeat visitors to your blog is the best way to build your reputation in the blogging world, and here we will look at some of the key ways you can boost your number of followers.<\/p>\n
Create Unique Content<\/strong><\/p>\n The simple fact of the matter is that no one will repeatedly come to your blog if it isn\u2019t offering anything new. Maintaining fresh and interesting content is a sure way to improve the readability and interest of your blog to newcomers. Make sure you know your niche thoroughly and are in tune with subjects they want to read about, while at the same time adding your own individual angle in posts to keep them coming back for more.<\/p>\n Optimize Your Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n A little SEO is essential if you want people to find your blog online. The best way to optimize your blog is by tagging it with relevant keywords that people search for online. Remember, with tagging the general rule is the more keywords the merrier, as it makes it more likely for your site to be visible to a wide range of people. Make sure you optimize each post as well to include a certain number of keywords that people are looking for \u2013 just be careful not to over optimize it as this may result in Google thinking the page is spam and blocking it from its results.<\/p>\n Invest Time in Others<\/strong><\/p>\n Nobody wants to follow a blogger who doesn\u2019t take the time to read their own writings as well. Not only will following other blogs expose you to a larger readership group, but if the blogs you follow are relevant to your own then you may get some new ideas for additional blog posts. You should also make sure you have a \u2018follow\u2019 button posted on your own blog so that people can follow you if they like what they read and want to interact with you.<\/p>\n Offer Advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t necessarily have to partner with big corporations to get involved in advertising. If you want to really establish a connection with your followers, offer to promote their own blogs and writing on your pages. You could even add their pictures and other content onto your blog, if they let you.<\/p>\n Promote Your Blog<\/strong><\/p>\n Social media services like Facebook and Twitter are great arenas to use when you want to promote your blog. On Twitter you can link your posts to hash tag conversations in order to expose your writing to an entire world of new bloggers. You could also try social bookmarking, a process that sees your blog promoted on a host of social networks all at the same time.<\/p>\n Following these simple techniques should help you increase the number of repeat visitors to your blog and gain new readers in no time.<\/p>\n
