Your business is thirteen times more likely to experience a positive return on investments if you prioritize your blogging. If you already use this tool, you know how valuable it is to your success, but if you want to increase reliable and qualified search traffic these strategies will help your blogging take your business even further.
Strategy One- Create Successful Viral Content
If you want to increase your blog traffic, you need great viral content. One secret to accomplishing this task is to write great headlines. If you have a great headline eight out of ten people are going to click to read your blog. This concept is not new, it has been around for decades, but many fail to understand its importance.
The headline is essential, but the content is just as important. People do not want to be fooled into clicking on a headline that brings them to worthless content. You have to back up that great eye-catching headline with solid, honest, and relevant content in your blog.
Do not copy someone else’s headline. You can use other’s ideas for headlines as an inspiration to create an even better, more unique one for your blog. To eliminate search traffic with your headline choice use Google to search.
- Go to Google. com
- Type your headline choice into the search box
- Watch for results. If you do not get any results, then you’ll know there is no competition for your choice. Your choice is then an opportunity to rank high in SERP.
Strategy Two- Create Evergreen Posts
Evergreen posts are those with content that has a continued and sustained success. Case studies show Evergreen posts are able to generate traffic years after you’ve originally published them. There are some dos and don’ts to Evergreen posts that will ensure your’s are more successful:
- Do not use passing trends for your content
- As your building block for content, you should stick with basic industry principles
- You do not want to re-post old content
- You can repurpose Evergreen content if your material is relevant
- Evergreen content should remain in your arsenal for when you really need it
