5 Tips to 600,000 Hits in Three Weeks

Here’s 5 of the tricks I used to get over

600,000 hits within a period of three weeks for
bobmeetsworld.com

• Timing

Timing is essential as you have to take into account that your blog has a
worldwide audience. To figure out where you will get the most hits from, check
your statistics to determine where your biggest group of readers is located
and at what time they tend to log on to your site. Then go and setup the “post-per-email”
feature in word press. Many email clients come with an option where you can
have it send an email at preset time.

Obviously some breaking news articles should be posted as soon as possible and
I suggest you use a Blackberry or something if you feel the urge.

• Content

Lets face it, content is king and the main reason people actually visit a
blog. So it’s your job to make sure that you have plenty of it.

If you are looking to provide information for a specific kind of reader, you
will most likely only get that specific type of reader.

Try to mix you content with some more popular stories or videos so you will
reach out for a bigger group of people. Chances are some of them will stick
around and will get interested in what you have to say about your favorite
topic.

• Exposure

Exposure is a thing I can’t stress enough. No matter how wonderful, witty
or brilliant your article is, it will only become valuable if someone reads
it.

Notify the right sites so they can spread the word for you.

Just to name a few:
Digg.com -
del.icio.us
- reddit.com
- Corank.com
-
Netscape.com

Another way is to make sure your update will get picked up by blog directories
like
Technorati by having your wordpress

automagically ping these sites for you.

• Networking

You are not alone in blogland. Infact you are about 0,000000000001% of the
population these days and you should know your neighbours. They might have
been around a bit longer and will have a loyal group of readers of whom a few
might be interested in what you have to say. Linking to a particular article
from another blog will help the both of you since these links are one of the
things pagerank and technorati rank gets measured on.

Always make sure you credit the source if you quote some information.

Remember what goes around comes around so try to get some good karma going.

• Be Prepared

What renders a fantastic idea useless? If you forget it.

One of the things you could do is carry a paper notebook with you at all times
and scribble down any visions for a great article that hit you during the day.
Another thing I have started to do is synch my iPod before I leave for work
with my favorite RSS feeds via
iFeedPod
(Windows users can use

iGadget)

This gives me the possibility to browse through new articles while I’m on my
way to work in the train and adds about 40 minutes of research time a day.
Again, if you come across a hot item you want to post straight away, I suggest
you get a

BlackBerry

So boys and girls, that’s basically what I did during the first three weeks
of BobmeetsWorld and at this moment I am seeing an average of 1100 unique visits
a day and a daily increase of links to the blog.

Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with.
