If content is the king of a site, traffic is the queen. Traffic is the key to success for a publishers. It is not difficult to attract visitors to your site for the first time. You may place your URL in the forum, Yahoo answer, email or in bulletin board. It is basic instict of people to visit a new site. So at the first page you may get good number of traffic. But after a certain period of time your traffic may decrease day by day. The reason is that people are not willing to visit a site which is boring. If you are able to convert your visitors as constant traffic, your success is not far ahead. It is natural that traffic may overflowed into your site for a short period of time. It is due to search engine ranking or by getting to digg's homepage or by any means. Grasp the opportunity. Do something so that your visitors turn into your regular traffic. How can you increase the number of regular visitors?
1.Be Unique, informative and creative: Be creative and write unique content. Your article must contain useful information. Elaborate your writing but don't deceive your visitors. Try to fulfil the expectation of your traffic for which they are exploring your site.
2. Regular posting: Post regularly with new and interesting contents so that your visitors feel interest to come back to your blog. Most of the popular bogs are updated regularly with new contents. If you write on part basis such as Part-I then Prt-II your visitors certainly wait for the next part.
3. Simple Designing: Have you visited this blog earlier? You may remember that this blog was incorporated with images. But I have removed images. Because I have experienced that image affected my traffic. Actually people do not prefer the site which takes much time to upload. If you upload your site with many images, it may take more time to open, consequently visitors will skip to other sites for information and you will loose your traffic. So don't upload your site with unnecessary images.
4. Limited words: Your content should not too big or too small. Content with 400 to 500 words limit is ideal for a site. Don't be repetitive. Write your content with simple sentences and appropriate density of key words. Make your content interesting and keep it away from boring. If visitors feel interest in your blog they certainly will return and subscribe your feed to keep touch with your blog.
5. Relevant links to other sites: Provide link to other relevant and good quality sites so that your visitors may be benefitted. If you are able to provide links to sites for updated and relvant information, people will use your site for updating their knowledge.
6.Promote your RSS Feed : You should keep an active link after every post with few words such as subscribe this blog or like that. Good number of people may subscribe your blog.

How to get regular visitors
What is SEO (search engine optimization)?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is what one do to try to increase the traffic (visitors) to a blog or website. It can be on site SEO (done in the blog or website with proper use if keywords, placement of keywords (many says it is best to put the more important keywords near the beginning and end of a post or page), incorporating keywords in the blog or website URL and also the blog title and post titles (permalink). Off site SEO does not involve the blog or website itself. SEO practitioners try to get as many inboud links (links pointing to the blog or website) as possible, thus increasing link popularity, PageRank, search engine visibility, etc. Getting more traffic can also be divided into 2 - organic (free via search engines and inbound links) and inorganic (you will have to pay for the extra traffic by advertising either online or offline). Many uses online advertisements using the most cost effective way - Google AdWords which you can get via the text link that says "Increase traffic to your website. Get Google AdWords" at the top of the right sidebar of Computers, Internet and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) near the bottom of the right sidebar.Now you as a blogger can either try to do the Search Engine Optimization yourself or get one of the resellers of private label search engine optimimization to do it yourself. In fact, they also offers Blog Marketing and especially if you are a content publisher who earns from advertising or have a business blog like Good Online Pharmacy, you may be willing to pay for such professional services in the hope that what you earn back from increased traffic is more than what you have to pay out. For the owners of such blogs, they may think of search engine optimization for ecommerceOr perhaps you have a blog like Guide to United States of America, you might be interested in San Diego search engine optimization as San Diego is the United States of America.

How to find the width of your blog Header, sidebar and main column
Got a question from a blog reader about how to go about finding the width of the blog Header, so I thought I might as well make a post to let more people know about it.
To get the width of the blog Header, sidebars, main column, sign into Dashboard. In the section for the relevant blog, click LAYOUT, then click EDIT TEMPLATE. This will open the template editor window. Search through the templates for the following:
#header-wrapper {
width:750px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:1px solid $bordercolor;
}
#main-wrapper {
width: 400px;
margin-left: 20px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar
float in IE */
}
#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 150px;
float: right;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar
float in IE */
}
#newsidebar-wrapper {
width: 150px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar
float in IE */
}
These codes are from the template of this blog. The first block of codes tells me that the width of the Header is 750 pixels. The second block says the main column width is 400 pixels. The last two block of codes tells me that both the sidebars are of width 150 pixels.
Bloggers need home IT support
I don't know about you, but my field is science, not IT. I have no formal training in IT and whatever I learned about HTML, XHTML, CSS, skills needed by a webmaster (bloggers are by default webmasters as they are response for how their blog are displayed and found by surfers on the Web). Further, I have 4 computers in my home which are networked together for Internet access. Beyond that, I have not done any further networking such as sharing files, printers, scanners, etc. Sometimes, I have problems with the computer and need the problem solved urgently as they may be a post I need to publish urgently. It has happened before and it can happen again. The last time it happened, I had to lug the CPU (that big black box with processor or CPU, hard disk, CD-ROM, etc.) on my scooter and carried the heavy desktop from the parked scooter to the computer repair shop a long distance away. Now with the availability of Home IT Support service which offers computer repair or pc help at your home itself, I can save myself all that bother if I make a decision to subscribe to their services.From the website, it appears that you can get IT support via home visits and support via telephone. It appear to me they can even access your computer remotely and get the problem fixed to get your Personal Computer working again.Sounds tempting
