How Not To Lose Your Blog Visitors
blogging tips October 7th, 2007
I’ve been conducting some experiments on retaining the blog visitors. The rules are very simple, but somewhat it is hard to implement if you don’t repeat it with consistency. In fact, a lot of successful websites depend on returning visitors to account for a major part of their traffic. For a new blog, to build the credibility of the blog will consume a lot of hard works and efforts. Since gaining visitors is a hard work, therefore we need to practice some tips to retain our blog visitors.
Rules of not losing your visitors
- Kiss, Keep It Short and Simple. Before you are buying the domain name, you should think a word that short and easily be remembered by the visitors. A short term memory can resist within 48 hours. In order to turn the short term memory into a long term memory, a simple yet meaningful word can help the brain to make an input to the memory. Therefore, a domain within 2-3 syllables is appropriate to make your visitors keep remember about your blog.
- Start a forum, chatbox, comment function is the most best practice to retain your blog’s visitors. This type of media can ensure yourselves to interact with your blog’s readers. As conversations build up, a sense of community will also follow and your visitors will come back to your site almost religiously every day.
- Update frequently with fresh content. The blog posting frequency can determine whether your blog readers should stay on the site or not. This is the most widely known and most effective method of attracting returning visitors, but this is also the least carried out one because of the laziness of webmasters. This is some useful information on frequent basis of posting at Guide on blog posting frequency - part 1
- Hold puzzles, quizzes and games. If you have more money,organizing a competition will give your blog an exposure in the blogosphere. The prizes relatively not very expensive, but can give some value added to them. Money, domain, hosting, ebook and custom design template of wordpress will be a good choice of prizes. Just imagine how many office workers procrastinate at work every day, and you will be able to gauge how many people will keep visiting your site if you provide a very interesting or addicting way of entertainment.
- Carry out polls or surveys. Polls and surveys are other forms of interaction that you should definitely consider adding to your site. They provide a quick way for visitors to voice their opinions and to get involved in your website. Be sure to publish polls or surveys that are strongly relevant to the target market of your website to keep them interested to find out about the results.
After all, please be make sure to embed the tracking code inside your blog for analyzing your achievement. This can be an indicator for you to set a future target on gaining more visitors to your blogs.

kalo tak upadate takleh ke? update setahun sekali ke? memang itulah cara yang paling senang untuk tak ada visitors ke website. buat blog dan tinggalkan berdebu dan bersawang.
idea tak ada mcm mana nak update?
pergilah bercuti dan dapatkan idea kamu itu segera! snapshot banyak2…
November 5th, 2007 at 7:00 am
hahaha..nak bercuti pun makan modal 2 bro..
lain la klu ada sponsor..hehehe
November 5th, 2007 at 7:31 am
tunggu la ada satu event..blinkblog sponsor 3 blogger teraktif mengomen utk lawatan ke hong kong..menarik jgk tu kan?
November 5th, 2007 at 10:43 pm
hihii… top komentator dapat hadiah percutian? bagus jugak tu. makin menarik perhatian. banyak belanja kena kuar. kuar untuk tiket air asia boleh agaknya? hmmm… nanti akan terfikirkan lagi idea yang menarik untuk hadiah utama…
November 5th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
hadiah utama seterusnya adalah dgn memberi visitor anda kad prepaid percuma selama 3 bulan tanpa segan dan silu
tak gitu fatah..kau tokey prepaid kan?
November 6th, 2007 at 3:39 am
Bagi kad prepaid? Mak ai..nanti gulung tikar la kot.Hahaha..Bukan boleh caya budak skrg nih.Topup skali sehari
November 6th, 2007 at 11:46 am
huhu..betul2 adik aku sorang tu..baru je dapat hp..esok nya dah mintak duit nak beli prepaid..gile aku kata..curi2 tgk rupanya dia main chatin kat chanel astro tu..what the fxxx abis la duit kalau mcm tu..mahal nak mampus..
November 6th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
kalo hadiah domain or hosting memang takleh nak bagi. duit rm50 boleh laa. prepaid rm10 mungkin boleh.
dan mungkin pakej percutian tu kena cari sponsor laa.
November 7th, 2007 at 11:47 am

“Carry out polls or surveys”. i want to ask you, do you do the survey that have on someone blog????
tak kira lah advert punya poll, or your own poll? bwat tak?
November 9th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
cadangan yang bagus. mungkin beliau tuan punya blog boleh buat untuk tarikan secara sampingan kpd blog beliau….
November 15th, 2007 at 9:58 pm
lagi satu cara yang menarik adalah jangan sekali2 membuat blog dan anda sudah pasti takkan ada yang nak datang berkunjung… memang pastinya kalo ada taska pasti…
November 15th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
huhu..satu cara lagi..adalah memberikan komen yg bernas kat blog mereka..pasti mereka akan dtg membalas kunjungan
