TIPS TO YOUR RSS FEED SUBSCRIBERS

This is the case with most of new and old bloggers, even when the blog is successful they don’t have a large number of Subscribers. Well on contrary why we should need them when we are getting enough traffic?

No one rejects free cheese now, do you? We all know the the benefits of RSS Feed subscribers! You may get a lot of visitors daily but if you have a large no of feed subscribers than you will get some more, as it lets your readers know about your blog updates.

Importance of feed subscribers is not something which is needed to be explained – so below are my 5 tips that may help you to gain a lot of feed subscribers.

1. WP Greet Box – This a plugin can help you increase your blog exposure and build loyal readership. Whenever someone open any of your blogpost than this plugin show a notification at top or bottom saying – “Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.”

What better option can you get? Check out the above picture!

2. Remind Them: Try to add a banner at the bottom of your post or provide a simple link at the bottom the post asking your reader to subscribe to your blog. This this really work great, if a reader likes your post and suppose its a tutorial in parts than the chances that the reader subscribe to your blog increases widely:

Don’t forget to subscribe to our RSS-feed and follow us on Twitter for recent updates.

You can also try banner at bottom of the post like some have done:

3. Add Subscription link at Sidebar: All professional bloggers know the importance of adding a subscription link in sidebar. Add an icon and/or simple text box for email subscriptions:

4. Send newsletter to all your commentator: Yes, you can send some updates or club together your best tutorials or posts and send them to all your commentator, though this one is really tedious and tiring process and no blogger with good traffic do that, but in case you want subscribers real badly that try it. And at the end of the newsletter provide a Subscription link.

5. Contest: Contest, this is the most easiest and fastest and of course 100% reliable way of getting huge number of feed subscriber all you have to do is organize a contest on your blog or a giveaway and among your various terms and condition, you have to cunningly add one more – yeah you got it. Add a condition that “you should be our feed subscriber in order to participate in the contest”. See how simple is that!

A Piece of Advice: Don’t go with the someone who promises 1000+ subscribers for xxx amount of Dollars. Trust me you will end up badly with a lot of bot’s (a computer program) as your subscribers. And by the time you realize that all your money will be gone.

HOW TO IMPROVE ALEXA RANK OF YOUR WEBSITE

Alexa ranking is provided by Alexa.com based on your blog traffic. But I have seen blog generating a lot of traffic but still their Alexa is not good enough. The reason is simple Alexa don’t know about them. In this tutorial I will tell you a way by which you can improve your Alexa ranking within a week and it is 100% working no fake promises.

What is the Alexa Rank?
The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis.

The main Alexa traffic rank is based on the geometric mean of these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users) – Alexa.com

Just follow these simple steps:

1. Add Alexa Site Widget: As I said you need to let Alexa know about your blog, so what better way you can find than adding a Alexa site widget at your sidebar which let Alexa know about your pages when your visit access them. Just put this widget and will assure you your Alexa rank will definitely be improved.

2. Install the Alexa toolbar: This also serves the same purpose as the Alexa site widget, as it sends information of you particular page to Alexa.

3. Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar: But like Alexa site widget which is available on each page and is helpful when a page is loaded either by you or your visitor, Alexa toolbar doesn’t serve the same purpose. It is helpful only when most of your visitor uses it. So encourage your visitors to use Alexa toolbar.

4. Get reviews: Ask your friend and visitors to write a short review of your blog at Alexa, this will also help to improve Alexa ranking. You can use Alexa review widget for this.

5. Claim your Site: Claim ownership of your site to easily update your site information and engage your users by responding to reviews of your site.

And whats the use of a good Alexa rank?

Websites like SponsoredReviews.com, Bidvertiser.com, etc in general all paid review websites see your Alexa ranking. A low rank gives you higher paying posts. Most advertisers still check your traffic rank and Google PageRank if they are deciding to advertise on your blog.

Write Unique content & update your blog daily. Moreover promote your post on social networking and social voting sites. These are some simple steps that you must do in order to improve your Alexa ranking. But main thing is you do add Alexa Site Widget.
