You've
set up your network marketing blog and you understand that it is an
effective way to get the word out about your opportunity, but how do you
get Internet users to find you and keep coming back time and again? It
all starts with a plan. Not only do you want to make your blog one that
will rank well with search engines, but you also want to make sure that
it appeals to your human visitors as well.
Choose the Right Keywords
Ideally,
you want to rank in the first two pages of listings on the major search
engines. Keep in mind, though, that your competition also wants to do
well in search engine results, and that the competition for short
keyword phrases is fierce. Would you rather be a little fish in the
Internet (keyword) pond or a bigger fish in a small pond?
Make
a point of choosing long-tail keyword phrases of several words for your
blog posts and content. Your goal should be to rank well for keywords
which apply to your niche network marketing market, since that is the
type of Internet user you want to attract to your blog.
Post Regularly
Have
you ever visited a blog which looked interesting but which hadn't been
updated for some time? You probably wouldn't have bookmarked that page
or planned to revisit it later on, would you? Make a schedule for
updating your blog and stick to it. Keep feeding it with content to
encourage your visitors to come back often.
Make Your Blog Posts Relevant
You
can have a great design for your blog but if you aren't providing
content in your posts that your readers find interesting and relevant,
they won't come back. Before you put something up on your blog,
determine whether you are providing something which your reader will
benefit from in a meaningful way and only publish posts which meet these
criteria.
Encourage Interaction With Your Blog
End
your blog post with a question and invite your readers to comment. When
someone does so, respond promptly and keep the discussion going. Not
only will you have people coming back to see how the discussion is
progressing, but the questions and issues discussed in the comments can
help you find out what your readers are interested in learning more
about, which will help you when developing fresh content.
Comment on Other Blogs
An
effective strategy for distinguishing yourself as an expert in your
niche market is to make a point of visiting other blogs and leaving
comments on them. If you are going to adopt this strategy to get traffic
to your network marketing blog, you will need to do more than limit
your comments to something like, "I agree" or "That's right." Add
something interesting to the discussion and include a link to your own
blog.
Adopting
these strategies will help you develop a stream of online traffic to
your network marketing blog. They will also help you to establish
yourself as an authority to your niche market.
