Yes, the use of Social Media increases blog traffic and/or page views.
Social media sites can help increase your blog traffic. Among those social media tools can use are Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Digg, LinkedIn and the list goes on and on.
Of course, to get the hits you are aiming for, it is important to invest time and energy to put your blog links to these sites.
Here are a few tips to increase blog traffic through the use of social media sites:
- Make sure your topic is interesting enough to be read by others. In other words: Content is STILL king!
- Be precise and write using words that can be easily understood.
- Do not try to attempt to do link baiting by writing a trending topic link only to find out that the post is entirely about a different topic
- Be straightforward in writing your topics. If you need to write how people can buy term life insurance, then do not attach a link entitled “top 10 cutest pet puppies”
- Schedule putting the links depending on the location of your readers
- Visit other blogs or sites and make yourself “visible” by engaging in a virtual conversation. Pretty soon, these writers will visit you too
Given the know-how on how you can promote your blog is not that much important if you do not write good contents. So start writing good quality blog posts and you will soon see that people will read what you wrote.
Your readers agreeing or disagreeing with what you wrote is another matter of course 😉
