Highlight Related Posts
one of the more common practices of bloggers to encourage readers to read multiple pages on their blogs is to to highlight related posts at the end of your article. You’ll notice that i presently have a list of 5 posts at the end of each individual page that suggests other posts that readers might find useful This list is generated by a WordPress PlugIn. Those of you using other blog platforms might find similar plugins for your own system or might like to manually suggest related articles at the end of your posts.
Highlight Key Posts and Categories in your Blog’s Hotspots
Depending upon the goals of your blog – you may wish to fill your blog’s hotspots with ads or affiliate programs – or you may want to highlight key posts that are central to your blog and which will hook readers into what your blog is about (thereby increasing page views). Highlighting your category pages is also another similarly useful technique to encourage your readers to find more posts on the same topic. To explicitly name what your category is can also be useful. ie rather than just having the category name at the end of the post – try something like ‘read more posts like this in our ((insert category name)) category’ or ‘filed under ((insert category name))’ etc.
Excerpts in RSS
Once again there is always debate over this topic of full or partial RSS feeds. I know some bloggers main purpose in partial feeds is to get bloggers directly onto their blog – thereby increasing their impression/page view count. While this is certainly a benefit of partial feeds it is not my own reason for using them. Rather I use them for copyright protection and to stop people scraping my full content onto their site’s via RSS. Whatever reason you choose to use partial/excerpt feeds – you should also realize that doing so will cause some readers to unsubscribe to your blog completely. I know in going only with partial feeds that there are some other bloggers who refuse to visit my blog – this is a cost/benefit scenario that individual bloggers need to weigh up.
Search Function
most blog blog platforms have the ability to use a search feature on your blog which enables users to search your blog for keywords. This feature obviously helps your readers to locate other posts on your site and as a result increases the potential for a multiple page view visit.
Install related posts plugin
This plugin allows related postings appear below a post us. If the reader clicks on related postings, the automatic pageviews will increase our blog. (The strategy I have tried in 3GWeek, and the result was significant).
Optimize internal link
Try postings that we make use of internal links that already exists. These internal links also will encourage readers to find posts related to the concept of atua topics being discussed in a post. (This strategy also I have tried in 3GWeek, and the result was significant).
Optimize the most popular postings
If the blog we have the most popular postings (may be reflected from the hit or comment), should show the list again in one place on the blog, for example in the sidebar. (In this blog thegadgetnet.com this practice that I have to put the most popular postings in the sidebar and on one of the header menu of "Best Tips").
Empower the archive
Archive postings (which are clustered either in the list by month or in the group category) previously also very influential in "persuading" the reader to remain at home hanging out on our blog. So, put in the archives feature a rather prominent in the sidebar - do not put the bottom.
Write the content of interest
Useful, original and interesting content should leave your readers hungering for more. Work on the quality of your blog and you’ll find that things like traffic levels and the numbers of pages being read should look after themselves and be on the rise. Content is good and useful to make the reader back regularly to our blog.
