Blog Marketing Tip: Wordless Wednesday
(Relentless Marketer) Here’s a quick, easy, steady, effective and FREE way to build your blog traffic.
Each Tuesday & Wednesday about 500 bloggers gather at WordlessWednesday.com to post links to their photo-only posts. Join the Wordless Wednesday gang and you build traffic in 4 ways:
1) Increase your post count. Putting up a weekly picture is an easy way to add 52 posts per year.
2) Increase in-bound links. WW gives you a weekly link to your blog post. Leave comments on other WW blogs for additional trackback links.
3) Increase your comment count. Participating in WW will add comments and new commenters to your site. Even "Happy Wordless Wednesday" comments will boost your search engine rankings.
4) It’s fun and adds to the overall interest of your blog. Too many blogs are text-heavy and lack interesting visuals. This will help you get more visual.
Here’s how to boost your traffic with Wordless Wednesday:
Every Tuesday: post an interesting or fun picture to your blog, preferably one that involves your business, products, employees or customers..
Tuesday evening: Go to www.WordlessWednesday.com. Follow the instructions and post a comment and link to your picture post on Wordless Wednesday - Tuesday Edition.
EARLY Wednesday am: Go to www.WordlessWednesday.com. Follow the instructions and post a comment and link to your picture post on Wordless Wednesday.
Extra traffic tip: visit a few other WW entries and leave comments. Use your photo post URL when placing the comment. Many times the blog owners will reciprocate with a comment on your blog.
Now go forth, blogger, and be wordless.
