How does it feel when you make a high budget movie, but
lack audience at movie theaters?
“IT SUCKS”.
Yes! Bloggers have similar experience when they do not
have enough visitors to their blogs. This is most common scenario seen in the
beginning days of blogging. Even after writing good content, it takes pain and
strain to promote your content. Due to the availability of huge number of
blogging sites on internet, it has become a tedious work to engage and
re-engage visitors to your blog. Hence today’s MANTRA FOR SUCCESSFUL BLOGGING IS
TO
“ENGAGE AND RE-ENGAGE VISITOR TO YOUR BLOG”.
Engaging a visitor depends on the content of your
blog. The better the content, the more is the time a visitor spends on your web
page. This is one of the main criteria that Google algorithm analyzes while
ranking your page (bounce rate). Bounce rate analyzes how much percentage of
visitors was reluctant / not interested while viewing blog.
BUT HOW DO I RE-ENGAGE THESE VISITORS ?
There are many ways to re-engage your visitors. Here are the best ten methods in re-engaging visitors to the blog.
Good content:
Yes! “CONTENT IS KING” in Blogging. Good content will
always have better acknowledgments. If readers are satisfied with your content,
they will definitely turn out to read your other posts.
“Believe me! Though it takes some time, if you can provide good content, you are indirectly creating a strong foundation for larger reader base. The results will be consistent and concrete in the coming days.”
Topics:
Blog posts on ever green topics tend to have more
visitor re-engagement than trending topics. Yes! It’s true. Trending topics
have a feeble niche as time passes. Hence these topics may have good reader
support initially, but decreases with time. For example blog posts on a Celebrity
marriage have a good reader base initially, but as the topic fades out, we can’t
expect the same response from readers. Instead topics on Photography / healthy
food are ever green. If you can provide good content on them, they in turn
increase visitors to your blog in no-time.
Social media ads:
With growing attention towards social media, sharing
your posts in social media can be an added advantage, where your followers or
friends can revisit your blog, whenever you have a new post. Further! You can
even share your post as “Ads” which can boost up your visitor numbers. For
example, Facebook provides good platform to promote your blog posts. Facebook
ads have huge viewer base where you can post your blog ads at a reasonable
price.
Social media groups:
Create a Whats app/ Telegram group to promote your
post. Hence, every time when you write a new post, you have an advantage of
sharing that post in your whats app /Telegram group. By adding the Whats app/
Telegram group link to your blog, you can invite more visitors to join the
group. This is another way to increase your visitor base and also to re-engage
your visitors.
Facebook pages:
Creating a Facebook page on the name of your blog is
not a bad idea. Facebook page can create an identity about your blog in the
social media platform. Sharing your blog posts through Facebook page can
increase your viewer base in no time.
Google ads:
Have you ever seen that the first few search results
from google search tool bar carry an additional notification called “ADS”.
These are nothing but, google promoted search results. You can promote your
blog through Google ads. As google is a leading search engine, the probability
of increasing your visitor base is very high with Google ads.
SEO:
SEO (Search engine optimization) friendly blogs have
higher ranks in google search results. As a result they have more visitor base
when compared to normal blogs. Hence necessary modifications should be done to
your blog to make it SEO FRIENDLY. To know more about Search Engine
optimization of your blog “Click here”. But remember! Too much into SEO is not
good. Google is constantly changing SEO rules. Hence optimizing your content
according to today’s SEO rules may not work tomorrow. Good content in your blog
always brings SEO along with it.
Discussion forums:
Web pages with discussion forums rank better than
individual blogs, as they contain DIRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. People
mostly search web to get answers to their questions. There are thousands of
forums on web, where people ask millions of questions on various topics. Choose
forums that are related to your blog and try to answer a few. Websites like
Quora give much bigger scope in this context. At the same time promote your
blog by providing web links to your blog along with answers. Just like
“Hope you got the answer. For more information on your
question, visit our blog www.blog.....com
(your blog post Url)."
BUT TRY NOT TO REFER YOU BLOG TOO MANY TIMES, WHICH CAN BE COSIDERED AS SPAMMING AND YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE BLOCKED
Landing pages:
This is a new way to collect your visitor’s emails.
Landing pages with email subscription link can help you in re-engaging your visitor.
So, every time when a new post is published, you can send an email notification
to your subscriber, intimating them about the topic. Landing page e-mail
subscription services are provided by many third party providers. Select a good
provider with reasonable pricing pattern, until your blog becomes popular. Good
and catchy conversation on the landing page script attracts visitors to
subscribe to your blog. Landing pages are like double edged sword. Too big and
prolonged appearance of landing pages can disturb reader’s concentration, in
turn increasing the bounce rate of the blog. Hence use landing pages which are
simple in design, attractive in description and short in duration.
Push notifications:
Last but not the least, push notifications on your
browser play key role in regularly updating your readers with your new blog
posts. Push notifications have dramatically reduced the burden of collecting
emails and are considered as next generation tools to increase traffic to your
blog. They have tremendous impact on blog traffic and can increase reader
re-engagements by more than 50%. There are many third party push notification
providers available on web.
