The popularity on the Internet is difficult to win. Popularity equals visits, and what more it costs to create a blog is to grow with it. The visits come too slow, do not generate income the first few weeks and you sink and you end up finishing the project that started so excited. This is the worst mistake you can make, end up with a blog project in the first few weeks.
The first week is very difficult and you see your blog stagnant. You, enthusiastic, passionate about writing articles and putting hard, very hard, and visitors are still coming. What's the matter? Well, in this article I will comment the first steps that have to do to be growing slowly (or in some cases, much to much) with your blog. in my opinion.
Social Networking
For me it is a critical step. The social networks generated an incredible amount of traffic, and you can benefit from them.
On Facebook the first thing you have to do is create us a fan page. The process is easy. Just after (this is optional but recommended) make the plugin Facebook on your website, so they can recommend your website with the 'I like' and go making it a place in this social network.
In Myspace, not usually so important pages from sites like Facebook but is always appreciated occasional visit.
If you search other content sharing sites, you leave a list of different social networks.
Create unique and quality content
The most important step you have to do. Creating quality content will do that search engines will like your content. Think that search engines read the code, and written words you want to link, the more important will. Although abuse is not good because you can be penalized.
With unique content I mean to create something no other site has. My recommendation and are easy to make lists. A list of, say, 14 Chrome extensions recommended for webmasters. This will get backlinks, very important for positioning and to increase the PageRank of your website. Think that if you create an interesting and unique content, other websites will want them, and you cite a source with a link to your website.
Another step you can do is create an ebook or any application / program. This will have much more success, because if it is useful, many more sites will want to add your content to your website.
Purchase or exchange reviews
The reviews are small (or big) news writing other websites 'flirting' or describing yours. This'll release the content while you get links to your website, which as I have named, this is very important.
Purchasing reviews, but yes, buy quality reviews. Not the same a review on a page with 20 hits a day and PageRank 0 to PageRank 5 in a website with 4500 visitors a day.
Another important point about the purchase of reviews is that buy reviews on the same issues that your site is. It is not advisable (or common sense) buy reviews on a website that comes to tourism if your site is of technology. Always choose topics related to your website.
Buy or trade links
The links (preferably with the label 'dofollow') are very important. Since them, search engines will understand that this website (the one with your link) relies on our site. Do not be fooled by these people who make you believe that by buying 5000 backlinks you will get better in a very large, since this is a lie. It is always better have a link to a page with PageRank 6, 5000 in which websites with a PageRank of 0 or 1.
Passed as the links in the reviews, you have to buy links on websites that are similar in theme to yours. Since, the links not only to gain PageRank, far from it. With links can also generate much traffic to your website.
Purchase or exchange banners
This step is like a small mixing between the links and reviews. The banners you can provide large amounts of traffic (compared to the links). This is another good way to publicize your site.
As in the last 2 tips, buy web banners related in theme to yours, as it is useless to buy a banner on a web page if your kitchen is the social network.
Do not give up
And finally, the crucial step that will differentiate the bloggers who want to succeed with those without. If you leave is over. As I said, the first weeks are bitter. But you put him effort, time and inclination. With this you make a hole in Internet and create a community of users loyal to your website.
Do you have any other advice that you are using to publicize websites or blogs with little time to live? Share them in the comments, I appreciate it.
