14招提高你的博客流量
作者：Nicholas Z. Cardot 译自：
很多博主和网站管理者对于如何吸引新读者以及访问者感到无助。你可以用以下一些很简单的窍门达成这一目标。
1. 运用清新的设计风格：如果你的网站散乱、无条理，色彩看起来不舒服或者和网页不相配，那么你的网站流量将每况日下。使用一个清晰的版式对于访问者浏览就容易多了。
2. 撰写有创意的内容：有人说你得每天发一篇帖子。这倒不一定。每周写一篇精心的、有创意的文章远比上传大量简短的、但毫无意义的帖子的效果好得多。
3. 做客别人的博客：如果你有机会在另一个受欢迎的博客上推出你的写作风格，那就写吧，不用犹豫！这是能向新的读者展示你的作品，并让他们访问你的网站的极好机会！
4. 回复评论和邮件：作者和读者互动有回应，人们就更爱访问他的博客。把积极地回复留在你网站上的每一个评论作为你的目标吧。
5. 在他人的博客上留下评论：99.9%的评论页面都有一个字段供你在评论的时候留下你的网站地址。这样，当那家博客的主人或者其读者看到你的评论后，他们就可以点击找到你的网站。
6. 要做列表清单: 本贴就是列表帖子的完美例子。列表清单是Google和Yahoo这些搜索引擎的搜索对象。它可以使读者以快速、简明地方式获取信息。
7. 和其他博主维持良好关系：你可以通过经常在他们的网站进行评论，要求友情链接交换，并在你的博客中提到他们，来维护相互之间的关系。
8. 重读、编辑并浏览你的帖子：如果你的帖子满是拼写错误后者语法错误，这会赶走那些聪明的读者。这一类型的错误会让你的帖子降低关注率，不管你信不信，它还损坏了你的诚信度。记得Dan Quayle吧。
9. 让您的读者感到亲切: 即使你收到的评论是消极的或者批评性的，你也要想办法用积极的态度回应他们。人们可能不同意你的立场，但不要让他们左右了你的情绪。
10. 学会幽默：在音乐剧Singing In The Rain（雨中情）中，有一首歌叫Make ‘Em Laugh(逗他们发笑)。“They’ll be standing in line for that old honky-tonk monkey shine!” 当你能提供有价值的信息又能逗他们发笑的时候，人们就愿意访问你的网站。
11. 在网站上进行投票：人们喜欢投票并看见投票统计的结果。投票很受欢迎，受欢迎则意味着更多的流量。
12. 帖子的标题要有吸引力：有吸引人眼球的、有创意的标题，相比那些乏味的、毫无创意的标题，吸引的流量要多得多。通常，有了吸引人的标题，用户才会浏览您的帖子。如果没有这样抓人眼球的标题，那好，你自己也知道会是什么样的结果了。
13. 坚持完善你的博客：据说一个人停止成长了，也就是向死亡迈进了。我相信这句话同样适用于博客。什么时候你止步不前了，不再完善你的博客了，什么时候访问者的数量就开始下降了。
14. 在帖子中使用图片：当你用摄人心魄的艺术品或者摄影作品描述主题或者文章的时候, 人们更有可能看你帖子的内容。我个人经常使用Flickr来寻找好的摄影照片。
这是底线：对你的网站或者博客多放一点点的爱心，你将会拥有稳固的读者和访问者。如果你对网站漠不关心，访问者也将不再费心来读你的作品哦。
那你还等什么呢？马上行动，建设你的博客吧！
14 Ways to Increase Your Blog Traffic
By Nicholas Z. Cardot
Most bloggers and webmasters find themselves searching hopelessly for a way to attract new readers and visitors to their sites. Here are a few very simple tips that can be used to accomplish just that.
1. Use a fresh design – If your website is messy, sloppy, disorganized, the colors are hard on the eye or don’t match then your site will go down the drain. Use a clean layout that is easy for your visitors to navigate.
2. Write creative content – Some people have said that you need to write a post every day. This simply isn’t true. It is better for your site to write one well-written, creative article per week than to load your blog or website with short, meaningless posts.
3. Guest blog – If you have the opportunity to promote your writing style at another popular blog, take it! This is a great chance for you to expose a new audience to your writing and to get some people to come visit your site.
4. Respond to comments and emails – People love to visit a blog where the author is interactive and responsive. Make it your goal to respond positively to every comment that people leave at your site.
5. Comment on other blogs – 99.9% of comment forms have a field where you can enter your website address when leaving a comment. This way when that blog owner or their readers see your comment, they can click through and find your site.
6. Make list posts – This post is a perfect example of a list post. List posts are food for search engines like google and yahoo. They allow readers to gain information on a subject in a quick, concise manner.
7. Develop relationships with fellow bloggers – Build relationships with fellow bloggers by commenting regularly on their sites, by requesting link exchange, and by mentioning them on your own blog.
8. Reread, edit, and go over your posts – When your posts are filled with spelling errors and grammatical errors you will drive away smart readers. Readers become distracted by these type of mistakes and, believe it or not, it destroys your credibility. Remember Dan Quayle.
9. Make your readers feel at home – Even when you receive a negative comment or critical comment you need to be creative in finding a way to respond in a positive manner. People may disagree with your position but don’t ever let them disagree with your disposition.
10. Be a comedian – In the hit musical Singing In The Rain, there is a song called Make ‘Em Laugh. “They’ll be standing in line for that old honky-tonk monkey shine!” People will come to your site when you can present valuable information and make them laugh at the same time.
11. Have polls on your site – People like voting on things and watching as the results tally up. Polls are popular and popular means more traffic.
12. Write catchy post titles – Posts with catchy, creative titles receive much more traffic than those with boring, bland, unoriginal headlines. Often users will browse through your posts until a headline catches their eye. If no headlines catch their eye, well…you know.
13. Keep improving your blog – It has been said that the day you stop growing is the day you start dying. I believe that is true in the blogosphere. The day you stop growing and improving your site is the day your visitors will begin declining.
14. Use images in your posts – When you can illustrate your topics and articles with attention grabbing artwork or photography people are more likely to view your content. I personally use Flickr to find excellent photography.
Here’s the bottom line: put the a little bit of tender loving care into your website or blog and you will be able to build a solid base of readers and regular visitors. Don’t worry about your site and visitors won’t bother coming by to read your work.
So what are you waiting for? Get out their and build your blog!
