| how to generate traffic |
I was asked a question on an article I recently published about how to increase traffic.
Andi said:If i'm a fledgeling my question is “Should I create controversy?”
Controversy is certainly a good manner if you’re inquisitive a way to increase traffic, and I believe this is true with the seasoned blogger, but especially true for a beginner. However, anyone wanting to start out some disceptation has got to take into thought what their goal is, and then make sure their outcome will match that.
So, my response to Andi was simple:
It depends on how you view it. If you attack others and switch them against you, then no — that is something no one should do, newbies or otherwise. However, as a beginner, starting controversy is a great idea. Make folks assume or question one thing they may not have. It’ll always make them remember you and spread your name or brand.
The thing beginners really need to do to up their blog’s traffic and readership is to catch the public’s eye and make them remember your name. You can’t try this by writing regarding and rehashing identical previous things everybody else writes regarding. You have to do something different. And what is a better way to do that than with controversy?
However, there are different forms of controversy. You might need to moot before you write on one thing that would very anger your viewers and cause them to not need to go to your website ever once more — after all, that’s not the goal. So don’t be TOO controversial if you’re looking for a massive audience.
Don’t insult people or attack personal beliefs. Instead, question the norm. Make people think about something. Dig deep and verify some facts or data that would be underhanded and create it aware to the general public.
Don’t push folks away together with your disceptation, but make them want to return. Controversy may be a decent issue, and might be one among the simplest ways in which to extend traffic. This applies to all bloggers, amateurs and veterans alike.
