Do You Want Traffic? Pay Attention To Blog Design!

You do realize that I am talking about traffic to your blog and not traffic on the streets, right? If you are still thinking terms of the latter point, then I suggest you go back to the earliest posts in this blog and learn a bit more about SEO and blogging. Anyhow, I think that traffic is one of the most important things – if not THE most important – that bloggers want to have, at least those bloggers who want other people to read their blogs.

So how do you get traffic? When you start up a blog, it does not mean that you will automatically have people visiting it. I still remember my first blog…when I created it, I didn’t really get any serious traffic till a month later. Of course, I didn’t really know what to do then. But there are many ways by which you get attract traffic to your blog. That is basically what we have been aiming for in talking about links and the use of keywords. But are there other ways by which you can generate traffic to your blog? Of course!

One of the more overlooked aspects in blogging (when it comes to maintaining traffic) is the layout and design of the blog. You see, you can always get people to visit your site at least ONCE. Force your mom, your sisters, your brothers, your friends – and even strangers, to visit your blog and you got at least one new visitor. But how do you ensure that they will come back?

One consideration is the ease of navigation. It’s simple. Provide the relevant links to archives, categories, and other pertinent info and your chances of keeping your visitors interested will be higher.
