A Quora.com site user has a question about why their blog doesn’t drive traffic. In order to drive traffic blog, follow these three steps by forming consistent positive habits for blog promotion success.
The Quora user asks:
Why can't my blog drive traffic?
Answer:
1. Your blog probably has duplicate content. If your blog has duplicate content and lots of it, chances are, search engines are omitting those pages from their natural search engine results. Whatever your blog posts that possibly have duplicate content are omitted from search engine results pages, it simply means it’s not visible for people to see after they perform searches for certain keywords and search term phrases. The end result of your blog pages being omitted from search engine results is “0% blog traffic.” No blog traffic equals no money. When you remove the duplicate content from your blog and replace it with fresh written natural content, those pages that had duplicate content that are now replaced with fresh content will be indexed by search engines and searchable in a matter of hours or days.
2. You probably don’t write enough longform Evergreen content for your blog. Evergreen content is not related to politics, current events, stock market, or anything else currently going on in the world. Evergreen content is classified as “five ways to do this,” or “three easy ways to lose weight instantly the Apple cider vinegar.” Basically, Evergreen content is content that never gets outdated and shows you how to do something step-by-step. Search engines love Evergreen content because not only is it showing people how to do something and is valuable in the eyes of search engines and people, but, Evergreen content is also classified as a blog post or webpage written in excess of 1500 words or more. It’s good to center your blog topic and blog posts primarily around Evergreen content. It’s a way to instantly improve your search engine optimization, increase blog traffic, and most importantly, increase your potential of possibly making money online 24 hours a day from advertisements on your blog while you’re sleeping and on your cushy day job.
3. If you're currently running a self hosted WordPress blog on a dedicated server and looking to improve your as SEO-search engine optimization and keep content consistently posted to your blog unattended from your computer while you’re doing other things such as working or out and about, you can install the WordPress auto content scheduling plug-in. After you install the plug-in, simply create your blog posts you want automatically posted and write your content days in advance. Choose your relevant keywords after you finish writing your blog post draft, set the date and exact time you want your blog post to automatically publish, and presto! Your blog will now automatically publish the content while you’re away from the computer. Doing this will instantly improve your blog traffic long-term and natural search engine optimization, because you don’t have to sit at the computer manually every time and create content. Plug-in gives you a peace of mind knowing your self hosted WordPress blog is still posting fresh content while you’re doing other things, and the plug-in also helping you to increase the probability of making money from advertisements on your blog. That’s a pretty good feeling, isn’t it?
