GENERATING TRAFFIC AND READERSHIP FOR YOUR SITE

Search engines changes the way people surf on the internet therefore, they are also important to web publishers as well as bloggers.. Without any doubt, people/visitors are directed to site and blog whenever someone searches for one information or the other on the internet. But do you realize that you can get your site to the top 10 search engine result pages? If not you can still get significant traffic from search engines? If not it is time for you to find other meaningful ways to improve traffic to your blog/site with or without search engines.

There are various ways to achieve all these.

UPDATING YOUR BLOG

Regular updating of your blog is one of the best ways to generate traffic and readership to your blog /site. This involves regular reviews and updating of your posts, as soon as you discover or get new information which are different and more relevant from those you have posted earlier. For this reason you have to make research on your post before and after posting them.

READERS AS ALTERNATIVE TO SEARCH ENGINES

Successful blogs and sites have managed to build huge numbers of readership over some time, their readers constitute the major source of sustainable traffic. Search engines algorithm can change at anytime for example, if your blog/site is number 1 now from the search engine results when the search engine algorithm changes at anytime your position will definitely change it can either be higher or low when this occurs therefore, this does not guarantee you search engine traffic for a lifetime. Readers are the source of sustainable traffic and at the same time they are the engine of blogs/site sustainable success therefore, how to have a large readership is a very important question? What is the secret of having a large readership? To build a large readership, you must have a targeted audience, understand them and know what they really want. While writing your posts, write as if there is just one person in your mind. Think of him/her as somebody whom you know intimately as a relative or a friend, as if you understand his/her goals, dreams, aspirations and things that really interests him. Make him/her your true reader and he/she will soak up every word, information been disseminated and he clicks on every link you include in each blog post/web page.

FOCUS ON PEOPLE'S INTERESTS
It is not possible to please everyone at all times therefore, the best strategy is to focus on pleasing those who people you can influence those who will take action on knowledge/information that is been passed onto them, those who will click a link for the fact that you recommended it for them for example recommending an E-Book, a new software or product. So that your readers will click the "Buy Now" button and earn you an affiliate  or ad agent commission. The best way to achieve this is to think about what people usually search for on the internet and your own job is to make that information available to them through your postings. For this reasons your job is to make your content to closely match the wants of your targeted audience.

There are many other things you too can even think of that are so easy to do in order to achieve you mission, some of them includes:

• Stick to making posts regularly

• Stay within your blog's theme

• Encourage feedback

• Respond to questions from your readers

• Keep up to date with the news within the theme of your blog

• Provide your readers with your opinions on relevant and interesting items

• Reveal something yourself in your posts. Your readers are much more likely to trust you if you allow them to get to know you.
