So you have traffic to your homepage but they exit out before giving your site a good read through? Today I will share with you 4 ways to get people diving deeper into your blog to find the info they are searching for!
The problem is most bloggers don’t follow a simple blogging plan with each post, nothing is formatted or in a easy to checkoff list. Your visitors want what they can get not what they can give you (stop thinking they do).
Here are my 4 ways to improve internal traffic of your blog!
1. Link to older posts in each new post you create. This one can be tough at times I know, however its really vital to get people clicking deeper within your blog. When I link to other posts it really helps my traffic and stay time go up but it also helps improve internal seo rank and power giving lots of pages in my blog link juice! I made a post about internal linking before for page rank bleed down that you can read if you want to know more about this.
2. Add a search bar to your sidebar. I know this may sound silly but you wouldn’t believe how many blogs I see that don’t offer at least the stock wordpress search widget you can place on your sidebar. Not only does it allow your users to find more content they may be interested in but it also allows you as the blogger to search to relative post topics that you can link to like in step 1 above.
3. Write great opening text. The first paragraph of text for each new post you write should entice visitors to your blog, this will hopefully draw there attention to stay on the post and read the whole thing!
4. Add images, video and graphs to your posts when possible. By adding more interactive / visual stimulants into your posts readers will naturally look at them out of curiosity (video is getting bigger and bigger read how to start video blogging a post I did awhile back).
