How To Split An Atom

I strongly believe that anything I find to be interesting would interest a vast number of people who aren’t me. Taking that to its natural conclusion, my recent interest in increasing my blog traffic must mean that you, my friends and readers, would do well to get a quick lesson in increasing your exposure.

I thought this would be best done through a bulleted list, and what better type of bulleted list than one that has already been written for you. Thus, I present you with How To Increase Your Blog Traffic (as presented by ProBlogger). Since most of you don’t really want to read the entire thing, here are a few tips that I thought were particularly salient:

2. Interlink within Posts - a similar but perhaps more effective technique is to highlight relevant posts within the content of your posts. If you’re writing a post that mentions something similar to what you’ve written before simply link to your previous post from within your article. For example I’ve written about this technique previously in a post on increasing the longevity of key posts.

That reminds me, do you remember these posts about blogging?

9. Search Function - most blog blog platforms have the ability to use a search feature on your blog which enables users to search your blog for keywords. This feature obviously helps your readers to locate other posts on your site and as a result increases the potential for a multiple page view visit.

That’s a good point, one that we should all keep in mind.

11. Quality Content -This should go without saying but needs to be reinforced. Obviously if you write quality content your readers will want more of the same. Useful, original and interesting content should leave your readers hungering for more. Work on the quality of your blog and you’ll find that things like traffic levels and the numbers of pages being read should look after themselves and be on the rise.

I suppose this goes without saying…
