How To Increase Popularity

Are you a blogger who wants to increase or gain popularity? Do you want more people to visit and read your blog? How do I do it? How can I get more traffic? How do I get more people to visit my blog? I am not going to lie and tell you that its easy. But, on the same token I am not going to say its difficult either. It all depends on how you look and go about things. I personally don’t feel gaining popularity and traffic is difficult; however, many do… and that is why I have wrote this article: I want to help you grow and expand your blog. This article can be filed as my 11th Successful Blogging Tip.

Google, by far is the leading element that can give you the most traffic. You need traffic in order to even have a chance at gaining popularity. Its rather simple. If you don’t have people visiting your blog, you can’t be judged upon a first impression. No one knows about you or your site. Understand that Google can send you the most traffic, a lot of blogs don’t get much traffic from Google. For whatever the reasons are, I am not going to go into details here, a lot of people don’t experience the joys of having Google slam your blog with countess amount of hits.

For those of don’t get Google traffic, there is Technorati. And actually, Technorati is useful for everyone. It’s just that people who don’t get Google traffic need to find a channel to get some kind of traffic, and Technorati can supply that pretty easily. I really enjoy using Technorati. In less than 6 months, I have gone from being a nobody to one of the more popular blogs listed in Technorati. My name and blog is currently ranked 38 in their Top 100 Most Favorited Blogs.

Your Wordpress Dashboard has a section called, “Latest Activity“. The source that tracks this activity is Technorati.

Clicking the More >> link will deliver you straight to Technorati’s search results page that shows you all the different blogs that have mentioned your blog in theirs.

I enjoy using Technorati for a few reasons:

• I get a lot of traffic from people who use Technorati to search for things that they want to read.
• I can snoop and find out what people think, say, feel and publish about me or my site on their blogs.
• I can see first hand which blogs are giving me incoming traffic.

If you haven’t registered in Technorati, I strongly recommend you do so. It can take months and even up to a year to really start getting traffic from Google. If it is important to you to increase your traffic and increase your popularity, sometimes you just have to go out there and get the traffic yourself. Technorati is a source for scoring some easy traffic.

Which you’re visiting Technorati, please take a moment to add my blog to your Technorati Favorites. This will help me continue to climb the popularity ladder.
