Web Affiliate Creators

Marketing Blogs:

There are several advantages to building a blog based website versus a standard stand alone website. Many of these advantages are well known, and I’m sure you’ll find a few here you hadn’t heard of before. Blogging advantages include the speed in which blogs get indexed due to their automatic inner linking. In addition bloggers are able to submit their websites not only to web directories but to blog specific directories as well.

Most blog software also comes with a tracback utility which encourages other bloggers to links back to particular posts within your blog, taking a lot of the work out of inner page link building. Another feature available to bloggers is automatic search engine and directory pinging. This tool automatically notifies up to hundreds of engines of all new content added to the blog.

Here are 10 popular blogging techniques that can be used to help drive traffic to your blog

1. Be creative – No matter what the topic is that you choose make sure you find a way to present it that is a little different than anyone else. Stand up and be noticed!
2. Be unique – Make sure everything you write is uniquely prepared so after you create and impressive look in step one, you have something unique for your new found readers to read.
3. Be active – Post, a lot. Then post some more. You don’t need a 3 page essay every time. Short 150 – 300 keyworded posts will work wonders.
4. Use ping tools like ping-o-matic. Ping your site every time you add a new post. There is a good wordpress plug-in that will do this automatically and the good thing is it will not re-ping if you are just editing, saves from being marked as spammer.
5. Use track backs. It not only increases your link popularity may even increase your readers from the linked site.
6. Allow comments and encourage that your readers post their opinions. In addition, add a plug in allowing blog readers the option to be notified when a new comment is posted to that particular entry.
7. Tag your website. Many sites have a social feature that you can put your post under tags (keywords) so that people can search their favorite tags and find new material. Try this wordpress plug-in.
8. Comment on other blogs. Leave well thought out replies. Not only will this help with linking but if written well, may induce other readers to check out the site of the author of the comment.
9. Social Book Marking – Use stumbleupon, digg, del.icio.us and all the others to drive enormous amounts traffic to your blog. What you are hoping here is that some will stick and continue to read. Nice wordpress plug-in.
10. Build links – submit to directories, blog directories, trade links, put your link in forum signatures (where allowed). This is a tedious process that should never end but provide great benefits to you in the long run.
