All About Blogging
This article is all about helping you to increase traffic to your blog. Every feature, service and plug-in that I mention below all directly or indirectly will have an impact on the amount of traffic your blog will receive.
Update services
There are a variety of update services you can use with your blog. [http://www.blogwarriorelite.com] has a feature in which you can upload articles at your leisure and set a blog updating frequency of your preference and they will take care of the maintenance of your blog.
Wordpress has a feature in which you can specify a list of update services you would like to notify every time you make a new post in your blog. These update services will then send their spiders to your site searching for your new post in order to add it to their database. These spiders act much like search engines do, only your post will show up on their site within minutes rather than weeks or even months later as is the case with traditional search engines.
RSS feed
I’m not going to go into exactly what an RSS feed is, but people who subscribe to your
RSS feed are visitors who wish to automatically be notified every time you update your blog with a new post. With Wordpress, you can decide to give them just part of the post in hopes that it will spark their interest and get them to come directly to your site, or you can give them the whole post content from within the feed itself.
Pingbacks
When writing a new post in Wordpress, you will have an option in the “Discussion†box labeled “Allow Pingsâ€Â. This means that when you link to another blogger’s post, they will automatically be notified, which is good for business! Alternatively, when another blog links to your post, you will receive an automatic notification by means of a pingback. It will be shown as a comment on the post.
Feedburner
http://www.feedburner.com is a service that will help you to manage your blog’s RSS feed.
Feedburner is great once you get your blog started because it will help you track how many people subscribe to your RSS feed and give you a lot of extra tools and statistical information that will prove useful.
