If you notice right below the post title of this website I have added a “Share This” and “Digg It” link a while ago to increase traffic and although I have not been very active with my blog in the last week they have proven to be useful in developing traffic. They have allow many users to share specific posts but the “Digg It” button has only been used a few times. Once I start developing a more technically oriented audience it should prove very valuable. Something that I have noticed is that posts that I have been spending more time developing have brought in more traffic. Especially with organic traffic (traffic derived from when your site ranks high in search engine rankings and users click on your link). I have brought my organic traffic to about 20% especially because of my posts on Blog Rush and John Chow. What I intend on doing is furthering the development of certain keywords and link building to relevant sites (linking back from sites that are topic relevant by posting comments that link back to the topic). Something that everyone should be mindful of is the “post slug” option whenever you write a post. This changes the name of the URL when ever you post to what ever you set as the post slug. This is important because if you are specifically targeting keywords then youI should post more in regards to this later on to see who successful my endeavor is. I also noticed that Blog Rush has been a completely useless tool for for me, but I’ll see if I can’t tweak it to maybe change that. PS. On the topic of traffic in the real world I just have to say stay away from your car in Toronto Fridays at about 5 pm. Especially when you are driving out to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, NY.
