Is no one reading your blog? How to change that? Will you beg or will you force? Trust me; neither of the approaches is going to work. ‘The first-time visitor to a regular customer’ is the dream of every blogger, on the same line his biggest nightmare can be a low traffic website with zero revenue.
Your blog is one among the million but definitely you will be hurt when you realize that you have failed to build a good readership, why? Ask yourself this blunt question, what is my blog providing that people should come for it?
How to Gain that Blog Readership?
Reasons? You will get 100 for not finding the right audience, but how to inspire the audience to stay and read your blog, we will see in the following section.
- Blog For Audience Not For Bots
- Heard about ‘keyword stuffing’? Then blog written with such practices will definitely kick the interests of the readers straight out of the window. Keyword stuffing is a popular practice among black-hat SEO practitioners; even the bots may crawl and index your blog for good number of days, but not before your content gets black-listed.
- It’s another fact that Google has introduced Panda and Penguin to deal with such practices, but on the whole, you will be losing a good chance to gain a good readership.
- Irrelevant & Inconsistent
- Long-form content is the trend and you have followed that faithfully, but still you have zero visits, why? Again it’s time to ask yourself a question, is your blog engaging, educating, or exclusive?
- More than that, are you being consistent in your contribution? What is that? Your audience is there to read your content, but are you posting the blogs regularly? Also, the blogs posts that are going live, are they relevant to your audience?
- Every single question here gives an answer to why your blogs are getting fewer visitors.
- Ads & Popups
- Your blog is full of them, what do you expect your possible reader to do? One or two, here and there is fine, but plastering them everywhere is not accepted. It is a common practice to make some money through having ads on your blog, but not by completely shifting the focus or purpose of the blog.
- Also, the pop-ups are a grave danger for bloggers if their audience group uses SmartPhone in maximum percentage. Because, closing a pop-up ad on a desktop window is easy, where as it is a nuisance on small screen devices.
- Over the Top Titles
- One more thing, you can also include the word ‘misleading’, yes over the top, misleading titles is a grave threat for every blog post.
- Why blog titles matter?
- Because, it’s an instant sharing factor, where people click and read the blog based on the pattern of a title. Using extreme superlatives may actually make people not to trust what you have written. For instance using words like obsolete, magical, and extraordinary in every blog title will not help you in any way.
