More Links = More Readers!
June 16th, 2006Blogging your trip can be a vault of ideas and memories, sharing your blog can be extremely rewarding especially if you have readers who comment and are eagerly awaiting your next entry. Readers are great to keep you going, you know you aren’t just writing and spilling your heart to an empty place in cyber space.
A high number of readers and traffic also means more money. Making a profitable blog will allow you to travel longer, and do all the things you want to do. Imagine traveling and checking your accounts online and the money keeps rising; wouldn’t that be a change!
Getting readers isn’t the easiest task in the world, but like any task there are ways of increasing your success rate. First off readers need to know that your blog exists, they won’t just come out of the blue and land on your page; trust me I learned this the hard way!
Get links to your blog from other sites, blogrolls, directories what ever just have the links linking to your blog. Also the more links you have the higher you can be listed in search engine results. Ask bloggers who’s blog you read to swap links, both parties benefit from this!
Have a link to your blog in a signature on forums you participate at and in your personal email that is attached to all outgoing mail.
Participate in forums, be active make connections. If you are real and help out someone with a problem, you would be surprised what people will do for you. It’s called karma, so start earning those karma points!
Comment on other travel sites and blogs. Real genuine comments not just promoting your site with a link to your blog, no one likes seeing in your face solicitation.
Spread the word! Tell your friends to tell their friends, this does actually work!
When you have enough readers to make the New York Times jealous, don’t forget who got you in the know!
