Getting visitors to your blog

Once you decide to start a blog, you will need readers.



Writing and talking to yourself might be fine in diary. That is not what you are trying to do with a business blog. You are building a relationship with your readers, to help them get to know and understand you and your business better.



Over the next little while, we will look at some easy and inexpensive ways to increase your visitor traffic. Many of the same ideas can be used with any web site, and not just for a blog.



We will examine directories, search engine marketing, search engine optimization, blog marketing, publicizing your blog, press releases, and other ways of building traffic. My advice will usually always be for the most cost effective ideas possible. Most are free!



You will have access to many new and exciting traffic building concepts. Some are indeed old reliables. A few methods are not used by many people on the internet.



Business blogging itself is a leading edge concept. That means there is a lot of new territory to be discovered.



As your blog begins to take shape, and as you add new entries, more ways to use your blog will open up. There will be more uses for your blogging ideas come to the forefront. That will lead to more readers as well.



Your customers and clients, who will form your readership base, will thank you for it.



More visitors means increased business for you.



That leads to a successful business.
