I have been trying to implement more self-linking at my site. Now it is just a matter of getting people to link to my site. :)

I would really wish to implement these self-linking technique as there is no obstacle involved. I have to take care of these myself without depending on anybody else.

It is really a good idea. I have personally seen myself wandering from page after page, when there were related links from one page to another.

I am wondering if the backlinks can also increase the page views. Please share your views on how backlinks (through comments on blogs etc..) can affect the traffic of a web page.

Thanks.

I have been trialling new ways to drive traffic through to my blog – everything from social networks to commenting on blogs to including in all of my presentations (both internally and to clients). I have done an analysis of what worked and it’s interesting to see that the main search keywords driving traffic to my blog are my name and related terms.

Would be interested in your thoughts:

I’ve tried so many “related posts” plugins and all of them have had some kind of bug.

Thanks for the link to one that you know works. I’m going to give it a try.

I use 1, 2 and 3 religiously and found them absolutely great. I haven’t tried 4, but guess, I could use it for very long & gluey posts.

thx for the tips

I use a “random posts” plugin (list) at the end of my posts – it suits my blog better than “related posts”.

Great post, however I recommend blogspot users to do the ”related-post” thing manually, it make take up more time searching through your archive but I think it’s really worth it keeping the reader on your blog for some more time.

Thanks for the link to the wordpress plugin, was looking for that quite some time now :)

I’ve read several of your posts now and am finding them really helpful. I like the ideas here. Does blogger do the ‘related post’ thing that WordPress does?
Thank you

@W.T:I think it would be hard on a new blog to do step 4, only because long articles tend to deter new visitors to newer blogs and clicking on next links might annoy them.

Allowing visitors to find your content easily is definitely something that we bloggers should make as easy as possible to our visitors. Reminds me that I need to get my related content plugin working, having troubles with it on my new blog. I’ll try this plugin out.

Sice post. Step 4 really appeals to me. You need to have some real content and a high number of posts to really make it work though. I don’t think step 4 is great for beginner blogs. Anyone disagree?

That’s exactly what happened when I visited Steve Pavlina. I even downloaded podcasts relating to content. Of course self-linking with right titles is a great thing which we mostly do not do because of hurry and for that definately Related posts is a very great plugin. I am using Related posts at all my websites and also page views plugin. It is good to let readers know whats hot at the blog and to provide them related content so that they can explore other areas relating to the topic. Nice tips anyways.

Multi page posts:
- containt similar keywords in multiple pages; so greater probability to find a site on web;
- look like simply book chapters from which you select what you want to read or no to read.

The first easy to make blogger’s error in writing multi pages is weak content. When you start writing multi pages, it’s important to clasify information strictly. And it’s easier to do when you have a prepared writing plan.

I like the idea of more inter linking and splitting up pages.

My money saving blog could do with some more page views, currently I get around 8,000 to 10,000 page views a month and want to get to 20,000 by the end of the year.

Great post. I definitely do a lot of self linking and I’ve been thinking of the sidebar thing.

I find multi page posts to be really annoying but I just realize why bloggers do it.

Thanks i never thought that we could actually increase page view by using sidebar. Great tips Darren, keep them up :)
