What made the SEO Blog attract visitors?
There are the following factors which can be considered for such a growth in 2008, than in 2007. Here we are,
Informative Posts - The first thing which I can attribute is proper and informative posts in the SEO Blog. As compared to the last year, I have posted a large number of informative posts in this year, i.e., 2008. The informative posts consitutes to the large number of users. It's as simple as this, the more the visitor(s) like the information posted in the post, the more likely it is to return and the more likely it is to inform others about the same.
Unique Posts - The unique posts specifies writing posts about the niche marketing topics which provides more targetted traffic to your blog and further more it provides your blog a good publicity over others in the same category.
Other Posts - A visitor comes to your blog only once, so in that it becomes very important, as to how to retain that visitor and make him come again to the blog. You can provide a way in your post to give the links to the other important posts of your blog. It can be segregated to some related posts as the current post of the blog and to other important posts or the most read posts of your blog. But please take care not to give too many links to the post as it may lead to spam, and moreover the visitor might not be interested to look in too many links given after the posts. So it's always better to provide at least 10 - 15 links of the other posts in your blog. Better place is after you have completed your current post.
Posting Frequency - The posting frequency or the blogging frequency is also an important factor in considering your post for the search engine indexing. Post regularly, twice in a week should be twice in a week, maintain consistency. Search Engine Bots love to crawl the blog's new content, the more consistently you post, the more likely your post will be shown in the search results, but not in the top, as it depends on several other factors. As compared to the last year number of posts in the SEO Blog, I have a large number of posts this year, ie., in 2008 till December.
Taggs - Don't forget to provide tags or labels for your post. It helps to show which keywords are relevant for the posts to the search engine bots. So the next time the users searches using some keywords, then your labels help to say for your post(s).
Links - Getting links is always better to promote your website, and gain exposure in terms of getting traffic to your blog. The SEO Blog is listed in some of the important blog directories.
