Hi,
I have a question. Do you think Google gives me ‘weight’ to a page over a post? (When I talk about a page I mean a quality content page not a ‘about’ or ‘contact’ etc page). I’d be interested to know Google’s thoughts on that one. Thanks – Martin
Hi,
I really doubt it. I’ve never seen such claims, so it’s not something I would worry about at all.
Hi,
Re: Day 16 and 17:
“…Make heat map for your blog to monitor readers’ activities and conduct campaigns to attract new readers.”
– On that I would also say look at Google’s heat map for Adsense and viewers clicks. Google ‘heatmap’ to find out more. That’ll give you an indication of where best to put your Adsense ads. It’s an amazing thing to see. Just a thought – thanks, Martin
Hi again,
Sorry about all my comments, but…
Re: Day 18 and 19:
“…Develop ‘Sneeze Page’ to direct multiple readers back to your archives and respond regularly to the comments of the readers.”
I think it’s mostly called a “squeeze page” (as in it sort of ‘squeezes’ the email address out of the viewer for more info) but if you want to call it a sneeze page then that is OK and a new creative way of thinking about it.
Thanks – martin
I think it would be helpful to mention that most of these tips can be done at the same time and not spread out at one per day.
These blog tips are really very excellent for improving readers/visitors on the blog. I will try these 31 days tips for my next blog.
Some really good blogging tips there, a solid strategy like that can really increase the traffic to any blog..
