7 Types of Blog Posts Which Always Seem to Get Links and Traffic
Here’s a really good question: what kinds of posts should I write to get more links and traffic?
It’s a question every blogger asks themselves. I want to answer it here by outlining 7 content methods that seem to work wonders on social media while also generating a lot of grassroots in-bound links.
Can you bring these powerful post types to your own blog?
1. Resource lists. The useful list of resources requires two ingredients: time and a good eye for quality. If a resource list seems useful many readers will bookmark or vote for it on face-value alone. If your blog is struggling, a useful resource list can be an effective way to spark up your traffic and links. Here’s an example of a well-done resource list:
Productivity Toolbox: 37+ Tools for Taking Action and Getting Things Done
2. Lists of tips. Quantifiable lists of tips are really attractive to readers because they explain in just a few seconds what a visitors stands to receive in return for their attention. You see them everywhere — and that’s because they work. Here’s an example of a good list of tips:
3. Good advice. A quality advice-post generally sticks to one topic and provides in-depth info on it. In order to maximize the benefits, you’ll need to provide advice people are hungry for. Avoid over-saturated topics and try to work out what your audience wants to do but doesn’t yet know how. A good advice post can bring you a lot of success. Here’s an example of one such post:
Photo by Steve Webel.
4. Arguing a popular point of view. People like to have their world-view affirmed. If you can articulate something a lot of people agree with, those who agree with you will champion your post. Those who disagree will probably still link to you, because their response won’t make sense otherwise.
This method works best when the topic isn’t too divisive. A reader won’t abandon your blog simply because you like Facebook and they like MySpace. They might abandon ship if you argue that capital punishment is necessary and that view is something they strongly disagree with. Make sure you’re not going to lose as many readers as you gain. Here’s an example of this method done well:
5. Anything with a killer headline. When others link to you, it’s usually done in the space of a paragraph or even a single sentence. Bloggers don’t want to have to spend too long explaining what a post is about. Your headline should do most of the work for them. Sometimes a really outstanding headline is all it takes to get traffic and links. Of course, you’ll receive much greater rewards if the headline is matched by a great post. Here’s an example of this method in action:
6. Q&As with high profile people. Interviews with well-known bloggers always seem to get links, comments and traffic. The nice thing about this method is that the only work involved is writing questions and approaching bloggers. The success rates for getting interviews are pretty high as most bloggers love talking about themselves! Here’s a clever example of this method in action:
7. Best-of lists. At this time of year you’ll see a lot of ‘Best of 2007′ round-ups, though best-of lists seem to work well at all times. They’re effective because people are constantly searching for the ‘best’ of everything. It’s a term that promises high quality. It also generates interest because ‘best’ is subjective — what’s best for you might be mediocre for others. Ranked lists always seem to generate links, traffic and debate. Here’s a good, recent example:
Can you think of any other types of blog posts which always seem to get links and traffic?

I wrote a post over the summer titles “The Ethos Scam.” It was about the water that Starbuck’s sells that supposedly sends tons of money to help other countries get fresh water.
It turns out that I’m not the only person aware of its shadiness and there are tons of people Googling “ethos scam.” Since there isn’t much written about it, all that traffic got pushed to me.
Because of the popularity of the post, I revisted the topic a couple months later and saw the hits spike from search engines again.
Principle: Revisit very popular posts to tempt the old blog hoppers to stay.

Great list of tips, Skellie (don’t worry, I’ll give you credit for your post). You really covered the bases. Of course, a high-level thinker is going to combine those traits into one post with a dash of reason thrown in for good measure.
How good is a post with a good headline compared to a highly debatable article with a killer headline? You can see the clear winner.

In my corner of the globe, gossip, rumor posts, scandals and boy-who-cries-wolf are the ones that really rake in traffic and links.
Main stream media would even pick it up.

Something good to know is that if your blog is new and fresh, you have to take into account really carefully what kind of content you put on it ….
I’ve got some really in depth articles on my blog, but truthfully, the more simplistic and easy to read posts seem to attract most people …..

Sometimes, giving away goodies is a good way to get traffic on a fresh blog, especially for the design community… it significantly increased my number of visitors.
And the length of the article does not always matter.

January 4th, 2008 2:41 am
All of those were very good ideas and I do agree with them. I’ve found though, that it helps to have fresh ideas when creating lists instead of posting yet another “10 best WordPress Themes” list or anything like that.
One that helped a lot was a 5 blogs I visit daily post I did with link to the blogs and posts in the blogs…

Plus, as an added bonus, it has provided me with some GREAT networking opportunities.

1- Intriguing Pictures - either by themselves with an overall theme - or accompanying an article. Space or odd nature photos appear to be a mainstay.
2- Comedy Videos - sometimes a collection will have impact. if they have to be short and load easily - due to the limited attention span of many users.
3- Google Revelations - usually search or ranking tips that are well thought out and detailed.
Usually people caught in an embarrassing moment.

Nice list Skellie. I was thinking about this topic too as well. My site has benefited greatly from making tutorials (fall under #3).
Seems like cheatsheets, free ebooks, and downloadable pdf are usuallycategorized under #1-#3. The only thing else I can think of that gets a lot of attention are humorous images/videos.

Hot headlines is what really does the trick. A hot, attention-grabbing headline brings people in for my http://www.TexasRealtyBlog. Then, the first three lines will keep them on the post. Since my posts are longer, my web guy also thought I should have a “continued here” link to de-clutter my front page.
With my Typepad template, you have to click on the title of the post to make comments, so I was getting far too few comments. Once I moved to have a “continued” format, I got more comments. Plus, more users can quickly see if they want to continue reading the current article or if they prefer to keep scanning down the front page.
I’m still working on it, but figured I throw that tip out there for Typepad users.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I appreciate them! I think a few people have highlighted a really important point: making a list of resources isn’t enough — it has to be a list of fresh and interesting resources that people actually want!
Hopefully you can use some of the post ideas here to write something really popular :-).

January 4th, 2008 2:54 pm
I could use a few of these tips. And posts that contain lists definitely seem to go over better with readers. A lot of people will scan an article quickly to see if it’s worth reading. You should at least have bold headings throughout so people know what the post is about before actually reading it.

Are we all forgetting about the all important technique of backlinking?
This definitely lends itself well to gaining Page Rank and just by posting on other blogs, you can gain notoriety for your own blog.

When talking about tech blogs, product reviews usually bring a lot of new visitors. And these visitors like to comment their experiences when using the product.

January 4th, 2008 8:58 pm
@ Orion: Backlinking is important, but it’s not really a “type” of post ;-).
@ Fiscal Musings: Emphasizing the important parts of your content is really essential practice, I think. Good point.

I think using mybloglog is usefull technique to increase traffic.If you can solve the problem using powerful idea and everybody will visit your blog everyday because you are great in that problem.
Create best solution of certain problems and see the traffics jump to you.
Its only my opinion.

Whenever I write anything about a celebrity on one of my marketing blogs, I get a lot of comments.
For example, I wrote a post about Beyonce’s new B-Phone on Brandcurve questioning it as an effective extension of Beyonce’s brand, and I couldn’t believe the number of people who called me a ‘hater’.
The only problem with these types of comments is they’re not usually from people who visit your blog frequently, but even regular readers have a tendency to comment on posts about celebrities. It’s interesting how celebrities can stir up conversation.

Absolutely agree..! But i think the topic of the post it self is also important. I’m sure that a popular topic will give you more traffic..

To add to that free give aways. Like “I got no work to do so I will review your blog for free. You just need to leave a comment.”
A free giveaway always attracts people and above headline was just a example.
I also happened to write an article on how to “earn” traffic for our blogs. I would love it if you read that and suggest me something about that.

@ Arne: I think you can absolutely use all of them. As you long as the kinds of things you blog about are consistent, you can do it in as many ways as you like.
@ Roni: Good suggestion — a good contest can really transform a blog :-). And yep, asking for thoughts does help get more comments.

Exclusive news, giveaways and rumor control are good ways as well.
Two years ago there was a rumor going on about the death of famous christian family, but I am friends with the family. I posted a rumor control blog with a letter from said family and received tons of traffic.
Because my site is about books I do book giveaways. This year my first contest will have a well-known author critique someone’s first chapter.

I guess everyone likes internet income! It’s also a good idea to use a keyword or phrase for your own website in the article title.
Good post.

More information on a popular topic. The highest trafficked post I’ve had recently dealt with a story that was covered on WND but with little information. I can’t say I dug up much, but an hour of internet searches did track down some of the missing details in the story. So I got a few incoming links and the link was passed through a lot of forums.

Hi Darren, thanks for the tips. Just like to share some additional comments for the 7 tips.
1. Resource lists.
Pros: niche, long term value
Note: sometimes too niche for a wide audience
2. Lists of tips.
Pros: niche, long term value, readers will appreciate the time taken from you to save their time. time is all we have, don’t we ? *winks*
Note: Advantage if implemented prior to trends
3. Good advice.
same as point 2
4. Arguing a popular point of view.
Pros: Reverse Psychology is proven to work, curious minds :)
Note: Don’t make it too personal that it seems like an attack rather than a comparison
5. Anything with a killer headline.
Pros: If this is a person, the headline is the beauty
Note: Be sure to provide quality content to supplement the headlines.
( think value value value, good headline + lousy content = instant noodles with good packaging but tastes like “yuck”
6. Q&As with high profile people.
Pros: If you watch Soccer or any sports, most of us want to see the best teams play against each other don’t we? Proven to work.
Note: This is subjected to trends (short to medium term), like stocks, hits to your post can either “rise” or “fall”
7. Best-of lists. -
Pro - Short Term but can be made into a series, month by month, year by year
Note: If you make a Best of list, back it up with some facts.
Hope it inspires some of you :)

I’ve found asking a questions often brings in lots of comments. I run a weight-loss blog and a post I wrote asking people what some of the weirdest things they binged on has gotten a lot of comments. Also, whenever I talk about new foods I’ve tried, people leave lots of comments with recipes I should make. Anything that encourages others to share their knowledge helps increase comments.

One topic that always seems to work well for me Darren is blog posts about money — eg, how much to charge, how to determine what to charge, how much freelance writers really make, etc.
In my December newsletter, I did a roundup of salaries from around the web — basically just finding stories where freelance writers and bloggers report how much they make (and from which sources) and put them in the newsletter.
I received more subscribers and comments on that newsletter than any other from last year. And remember, this was December, typically a slow month for freelance writing activity (eg, reading newsletters, etc.).
In my experience, talking about money is where the money (eg, subscribers) is.

I think there’s specialized variations of above:

I think there’s also an additional set of patterns:
- question posts
- stories with lessons learned
- blog carnival
- timely hot topic

Maybe I missed it as I rolled down this list but I didn’t see any mention of humor. If you write something that is truly funny or hilarious (the pinnacle of funny) it will enjoy a great run. Not that I would know from my own blogging experience. But I have seen it happen.
It involves, of course, a lot of creativity. You can’t just recycle jokes. Or maybe you can. I can’t decide and am feeling a lot of pressure just being here and writing a comment on this great blog.
Oh. Yoga. That’s the other thing that attracts lots of people. Especially if they can’t do drugs anymore for one reason or another.

This is a great post - for people who want to make money blogging. I feel you’ve hit the nails on the head, and anyone who wants to bring more traffic to their blog or website can learn a lot from this post.
It’s just weird to me, however, that people are trying to make money from blogging by telling people how to make money from blogging. Isn’t that a kind of illegal pyramid scheme?!
Darren Rowse

Shawn - not sure it’s a pyramid scheme really. I know here at ProBlogger I’m making money by writing about making money blogging - but I make the majority of my money from advertising - companies wanting to align their brands with mine.
There are more pyramid scheme like things out there in the niche - I saw one ‘ad network’ recently that was basically one - but I’m not sure the bloggers writing on the topic are really doing it.

Thanks for the great blogging tips. I actually just recently started my SEO blog and am constantly learning about how blog promotion and SEO are different. This site has been a great resource. Thanks!

Well. It seems that just what I thought was true… Really was true. I know it’s easy to say, “yeah I always knew that.” Well why have you not said anything? I’m not going to lie, I only thought of 4 of those.
The real amazing part about this post is not just what you said… But also that, and how you said it. I love how everyone is always thinking something and rarely is it said. You said it. And how!

I am curious how you would apply some of these ideas to new sites. If you are new and only getting 30-40 visits a day how would get top bloggers to discuss something on your site to begin with, or how to get a discussion going on a particular subject when theres no one to banter with.
