What are the ways to keep a blog interactive? If I want to make my visitors glued to my blog what are the steps I should follow? In other words what should I do to retain my visitors? Does content management alone help?
- Make it easy for them to navigate between posts, e.g Related posts under each post. - Each post you write should be unique, this is generally enough to keep visitors coming back. - Remain consistent when updating, don't release 5 posts 1 week then only release 1 the week after, maintain consistency. - Interact with your readers, ask them questions after each post to get them to play a part in your blog. - Make sure your social media follow tools are visible and easy to access
To keep your visitor interactive, I think you should keep give informative content for your visitor regularly.
Very useful tips! I used to rush through my posts previously. Yes, I should have waited between posts. Too many posts in a week can even play spoil sport!
if you wish to keep the discussions up and running, you have to make the blog sound interesting.... try to ask relevant questions to bloggers who left comments... that will keep the ball rolling..
The design of your blog should also be interactive, apart from this you need to post fresh and informative content regularly, try to be top in the niche, provide useful information, latest information, it would really help.
Most blogs are easy to navigate since the open sources are available with good navigation features. Hence internal linking is very much possible while maintaining blogs.
try to start the conversation amongst the visitors and the layout of your blog should be user friendly.
Literally ask for them to comment on your article. Make controversial topics they will want to disagree with. And provide the answers to their questions.
