The first thing you need to do after you set up your blog is to make sure it is search engine “friendly”. That means adding some plug-ins and optimizing your content.
A popular plugin you’ll want to check out is the All in One SEO Pack. You should also change your Permalink setting in the admin area to %permalink%, because that will optimize the titles of your entries. Instead of each post having a long URL composed of numbers and letters, it will contain your title.
This will help you rank higher so you can get more traffic.
Did you know that you can increase traffic to your site with your RSS feed? That’s right, your feed can be way more useful to you than simply being a tool for subscribers to be updated. Use this tip below to utilize the power of RSS to bring you a mountain of fresh traffic to your site.
Submitting to RSS directories
Most websites have their own RSS feed. This is automatically created if you use a blogging platform like WordPress. If not, a feed can be created using software or online services. html2rss.com is an example.
To get traffic from your feed, spend some time submitting your feed to the major ‘feed aggregators’. It may take a lot of time at first, but it will be worthwhile in the end, as every time you post, you’ll notice a fair amount of visitors from people who have subscribed to your feed after finding it in the directories.
This can be automated with software like RSS submit, which will automatically submit to nearly 90 directories at a click of a button. It’s quite a worthwhile and time saving investment.
Amazon allows you to view the bestsellers in all its categories and sub-categories. It’s equally powerful if you’re thinking of creating an information product on a certain topic. Let’s look at an example on “Camera & Photo” Amazon Best Sellers
