How to increase blog traffic?

Many Hectic Capiznon are now involved in blogging. Blog is one way where you can write your daily living, thoughts, feelings and reactions regarding on a certain topic. For having an initiative how to increase my blog traffic, I made some research which will help me on my blog in increasing my blog traffic. Actually, nowadays, most of the blogs are for money making purpose but the problem is , those blogs have no traffics, so I made some research on how to increase blog traffic of a certain blog. Here’s the following ways to increase your blog traffic:

1. Blog Commenting

Regularly leave a comments on some do follows blog which have a high traffic and a higher page rank. Your comments must be positive and it should be a quality comment.

2. Article Submission in different article directories

Article submission is one of the effective way to increase traffic. Do not submit many article at the same time, because to much article submission will definitely have a bad effect, you must have a timing.

3. Join in some Forums

In some forums you can actually leave you signature which will also brings you a lot of traffic. Actually, I love to join entertainment forums because this is where I can put a link to my blog in my signature.

4. Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is one way also to increase you blog traffic which ive already said in my previous post. You must bookmark you blog post to such bookmarking site like jeqq, digg, technorati, delicious, stumbleupon, reddit, feedage, rss feed, and propeller. Everytime that you create a new post, you must submit it to bookmarking site.

5. Update your blog regularly

You must bear into your mind that you must always update you blog. Post regularly because if you will not update your blog, it will increase your blog traffic. Many sites that I’ve read before that the suggested post per week is 3 posts but its better to update your blog everyday.

I hope that this will help you to increase your blog traffic in Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009.

After the struggle

Last Thursday and Friday the two participants in Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009 have a thesis defend. This is one of the reason why we didn’t update this entry in Capiznon Bloggers 2009. Last week is the bussiest days in our lives as a college student taking up computer science. We finalize our programs and website which we about to present in the front of the panelist during the defense. The documentation, the snacks, the presentation and everything should be prepared. Clawid and Gurlie has its own groups and they are both leaders in their group.

Clawid decided to have an Online Information and Reservation for Image Palace Hotel which you can visit at http://imagepalace.clawid.com/. First the group think that they can’t pass the thesis defence but luckily they surpassed it.

Gurlie create a program which is a, Computerized Library System for Capiz National High School. Their group studied the current system in the library then replace it with computerized system.

The two of us ended as a successful leader and we both passed. The other groups in our section also passed. We make it till the end. Congratulations to all of us and advance graduation to all of us. I hope we will be successful too in this interschool seo contest, the Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009.

Blog Submission

Capiznon Bloggers are almost aware of blog submission and what are the benefits of it. And this is the reason why bloggers make so much effort in updating their blogs. It is really obvious that blog submissions can make a certain blog become popular in the online world that’s why many people actually view some blogs which have a blog submissions compared to those blogs who does not have. And in connection with this, one way to find these is in some blog directories. You can acquire so much exposure for your blog through blog submission and you can also develop a follower and a reader. Aside from basic SEO steps of adding persuasive and keyword in our blog and building basic links, listing our blogs in blog directories is the first thing to do when we begin to create our own blogs.

In fact, this blog which named as magkasamatayo is a newly one which is our official entry for Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009. Gurlie and Clawid both love in creating a new blog, and building too much links in our blogroll. As what I have read in an article in searchenginejournal.com that BLOG means – Better Listings On Google. What a great meaning, right? In the same website also in searchenginejournal.com they also tackle that a good link juice is essential in a healthy growing blog. It seems that their blog is very informative especially to a newbie like us, its been a great help for us in creating our own blogs.

Timing and Balance

Optimizing our blog entry and creating blog posts is really a hard one. In order create a new article everyday, you must be creative, resourceful and sometimes you must be a good writer because search engine will see your blog an informative and important one base on the content of it, the way you arrange your blog and the way you write your blog content.

It’s very difficult for us to create article everyday because we are not good in terms of writing. With the keyword Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009, all the participants in this kind of contest are doing their own tactics in order to be on the highest position of google search engine. And its glad to say that digitalfrenzied also one of the participants from our school got the highest position as of February 26, 2009 with the blog entry digitalfrenzied.blogspot.com.

There are so many ways in order to be on the top but all you need is time and effort. As college student and one of the capiznon bloggers, I have to manage my schedule here in school at the same time my schedule in optimizing this entry. It’s been a hectic schedule for me as a college student. Submitting links to some bookmarking site is one way of promoting and optimizing your blog which definitely help you to be on the top but too much of it will penalize and drag down your blog. One of the best things I know in optimizing blog is timing and balance. Being so fast and having too much effort in optimizing your blog will result to a bad one, so being patience is one of the stepping stones to become a successful blogger and get a highest position on search engine.

Getting Serious

We haven't updated this blog for almost 2 weeks because of our hectic schedules and we have to accomplish some tasks and school projects. Being a college student in Capiz as well as a Capiz Bloggers it is hard for us to optimize and focus to this contest because we have our Thesis this coming March. Time management is the key and balance between being a college student and a Capiz blogger as well. We decided to have a time for this contest not just for the money involved here but for the name of our school. There are so many humors and issues about the contest, but I don't care about it. This contest is not challenging anymore for me because there are some pretenders that are pretending. But we will try to change this contest and make it ethical. I think some contestant joining the Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009 are doing some unethical or illegal behavior.

Team magkasama will be serious for this contest and we will do everything to win this contest. Good luck for the Capiznon bloggers participants.

The secret behind the team "Magkasama Tayo"

During transient time, many changes occur, its either bad news or good news. There are also some progress happened in the online world. As we go along the way, we also enter the world of blogging and start to join some contest. Last year, we joined the contest cebu seo contest and captivating Capiz contest as individual entry, but unfortunately we lost the cebu seo contest and luckily in captivating capiz, noobteenseo won the contest. It’s a great experienced….coz in the contest you will definitely meet new friends. It’s been a remarkable experienced as we go along the world of blogging. For the first time, in Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009 contest, noobteenseo and gurlie join the contest with group name “magkasama tayo”.

Before the contest started, we heard some gossip that there will be a capiz interschool seo contest, my friend and I decided to join that contest as a group. We name our group as Magkasama Tayo. But then, why did we name our group as magkasama tayo? As we all know that Magkasama means “together”. We were together as classmates since 2nd year college, and we both enter the 3rd year in the same school as working student. My friend noobteenseo was the first one who enters the blogging. But then later on, I was persuade because through blogging you can definitely make money online. So I decided to try and make a blog on my own and take some advice on my fellow teacher because there’s nothing wrong if you will try.

Now, as we enter the contest Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009 as magkasama, our entry is not yet visible to google but it’s ok, we have two month period in this contest and we will try to do what we can. Yet, the contest begun but then there will be more changes to come which are unexpected one.
