How to make visitor come again to your blog?


In the previous entry, I have written about the Golden Rules regarding driving traffic to your blog. BY this time your traffic blog should be little bit increasing. MOst if them are first timer. It is important too, to make sure the visitor of your blog continuously come to visit your blog. So, what should I do to make my first time blog readers not only come but stay? [add and edit] 5 Golden Rules to make your visitors keep visiting and stay.

  1. Provide them with "to be continue" material. For sure it should be an interesting material. Cut your long tutorial into serial of short tutorial. How to make bussiness like banner and header part 1, part 2 etc etc. Example of 4 Series on how to make your proffesional header.
  2. Use Feed readers and Feedgators. The power of RSS and ATOM feed can not be denied. More and more internet surfers is now using feed to reduce the time of surfing and digging for information.
    Try Feedburners. They have been long enough in the scenario. What is feed? From Wiki:An aggregator or news aggregator is client software that uses a web feed to retrieve syndicated web content such as weblogs, podcasts, vlogs, and mainstream mass media websites, or in the case of a search aggregator, a customized set of search results.
  3. Dont forget to answer their comments and reviews. Even a short thank you will make the visitor be loyal to your blog.
  4. Make a lot of backlinks to your previous post. Thats why in the previous entry I do encourage you to write a serie of tutorial that contains separate parts. You might write the tutorial not in same page and same date , as it is time consuming and make your page untidy. eg Part 1 of 4 is written on 21.8.06 and the Part 2 is written few days later. By doing that you can combine your tutorial by linking them from one part to other part.
  5. Configure your BLOG in Technorati! Dont forget the power of technorati! Many bloggers have their own account in technorati. And they subscribe to many others blogs thru Technorati. It will make easier for your loyal readers to get informed your latest progress.
