BLOG TIPS - When you want to grow your blog, no matter if it's is a personal, professional or company blog that you manage, and no matter what your blog's niche, the first thing that comes to your mind is likely to be about increasing traffic or adding subscribers. As we know, getting more traffic or subscribers is always a good thing, such a blog can never have too many readers. The more readers, the more possible revenue. But, to sustain your traffic you need to understand who the people are that come to your blog.
Time to consolidate your blog efforts into the key tasks that will bring returns. Some key areas that bloggers need to fully understand involve knowledge of who readers are, how they've found your blog with the cool domain name and how often they're visiting & staying at your blog (how sticky is your blog?). These Metrics,such as time on site, bounce rate, and percentage of return visitors will help you tremendously. To do all this, you'll need a good system of analytics and your own plan of engagement to maximize your blog's full potential. Lijit and Google Analytics SITE SEARCH are both good tools for internal search data analysis. And to continue to engage your readers, make your posts interesting, ask questions, solicit commenting and use Twitter . Make sure you respond to all comments and reply to each e-mail received.
