Critical Steps To Online Success--Getting Blog Traffic--

Here's How to "Ping" your Blog.

So you've published some articles on your blog and you're waiting for results…but nothing seems to be happening…

First Question: Do you have a "Hit Counter" on your Blog?"

If you can't measure the "hits" to your site, how can you know what's going on? You can get a hit counter by Googling the term "Add a Hit Counter to your Blog".

If you are using Blogger.com then just go to their Help menu and you'll find directions. Now you can see how many visitors you're getting, you can start to add some traffic generation add-ons to your Blog. The first and easiest thing you will want to do is to add a new post every day and then update your Blog on all of the major Search Engines.

The easiest way to do this is to "Ping" your Blog every time you update it with new material. Pinging simply notifies from 10 to 50 or so of the top search engines that there is new material on your blog and increases the likelyhood that their "spiders" will visit. (Spiders are the little routines operated by the search engines that run around on the web searching and indexing all of the sites for SEO relevancy).

This is a good thing-you can't get your site indexed until you have a visit from the spiders and to maintain your ranking you need new material to keep them coming back.

To "Ping" you Blog you simply register with the Ping services, select the sites you want to have pinged and press "ping".

And Bingo…you're starting to become visible on the web.

Here are some of the top Ping engines:

Ping-o-Matic: pingomatic.com

Pingoat: pingoat.com

Technorati: technorati.com/ping

King Ping: kping.com/

For all that, it would seem that Ping-o-matic is the most popular and gets the job done. But if you're trying to squeeze more traffic then these others may help. I haven't done enough testing to have a definitive answer for you.

Keep on winning
