Getting Traffic to your Blog using Hot Clips

Nearly everyone is running for traffic today. Be it a blog – where people want more visitors or a profile in any of the social networking sites like Myspace or Salfas. (Btw - Salfas is a new site I came across which even offers mobile interactivity between members and when asked what Salfas means, they said - it stands for Single And Looking For A Soulmate - wow!! what imagination :)

The first most important thing is the content – a general advice would be to keep the content brief, specific and related to the title or subject of the blog. I have often come across blog which seem to cover the entire latitude of available subject – from seo to directory to what not? What happens is the search engines gets smart and the ranking goes down as also the traffic when people realize that what they are reading are commercial posts.

The second important thing is the theme – a good theme can make all the difference – also it should load fast as time is precious for any visitor. Do not go for a funky theme as chances are your visitors will leave by the time the site loads!

Apart from these you need to make the blog attractive with content specific value add – what I suggest here is adding hot video clips to your blog – not at all difficult! All you need to do is just paste some codes easily available on a video site. It gives the visitor an option to play the video only if he wants to. Only the thumbnail or one frame from the video loads. Always choose a unique video with a related subject so that it keeps a meaning. Also do not load any popular video as chances are the visitor may have seen it a thousand times.

Here is a suggestion for a site Hotclips.mobi with unique video clips sorted in 14 categories ( funny, hot, pets, music etc.) and mostly user submitted. I have been using the same in my blogs for long and which have definitely helped me in getting good traffic.

Also, never forget to bookmark your site in several bookmark locations and send some mails to your friends. If you are on any forum just use the blog url on your signature – it sure helps. So, keep up the good work of writing every day and add a few videos right now to see the difference.

Here are two other blogs which can help you start off your New Online Business - this blog comes with loads of goodies for a startup business like how to look for a business partner , business planning etc., while the other blog comes with guidelines for Online Business Planning , like ppc ads, cpm ads, email marketing etc.
