5 Secrets To Responsive Blog Traffic
Email marketing is getting tougher by the day. With ISPs coming up with their own definition of what’s SPAM and what’s not, you may find that your email are not getting delivered to as many people as it should be. This is the reality of 2006. As an alternative, most marketers nowadays perfer to use blogs as their marketing forefront. There’s no issues with this, except one nagging question:
How do I get more visitors to my blog?
And that’s followed by this question:
How do I get visitors to leave comments on my blog?
These are NOT the answer:
Provide great content:So what if you provide good tips? There are equally great content (if not better) elsewhere.Design a beautiful blog:Beauty is only skin deep. After the initial ‘wow factor’, what’s left?Use SEO:Ok, this will work for traffic, but not for loyalty or responsiveness. So SEO is not the ultimate answer.Talk about Google:If you really have nothing better to say, then by all means talk about Google. But there’s tons of other bloggers talking about Google

Very nice writeup GK,
Really sums up the basic principles of getting good traffic. Alot of common sense in there, unfortunately most people lack it.
Looking forward to reading your next post.
Cheers
Ya Gobala,i got d point!YES!That’s human touch,am I right?My opinion here is when you do blogging,don’t just write topics on your products,your affiliate’s products etc2.People will get bored easily and marked you as a ‘gila duit’(money crazy)-correct me if wrong.So the human touch on blogging is A MUST.Then you will get tons of comment,because people loves talking non-business matter rather than business matter.Trust me,it’s proved anywhere.
[…] What makes a blog a outstanding success? Is it getting loads of traffic to your blog makes it successful? For me personally is about building readership, having a loyal group of readers will increase the value of your blog. A reader will promote your blog to their friends and on thier blog and hence you get the viral thing working for you. A fellow malaysian Gobala Krishnan sum it up well with his recent post “5 Secrets to Responsive Traffic“, So what do you think the 5 secrets are? […]
Mr GK, i was one of the participant in adsense class yesterday and have buy your ebook Chapter-M. I am very impressed with your presentation about the wordpress.com how to quickly set up niche and i found your blog also give me such as wider info about online in Malaysia. Keep up goodwork GK.
P/s: My refrence blog
The human factor, the connection especially when you ask for people to answer a question you really want to know is what I see in all these three comment subjects.
Another way to get comments is take the initiative and connect with people on their blogs first, write about other blogs with a trackback because they will want to “meet” those that have been to your blog.
This lesson is very new to me but its when people have met you on other blogs THEN find your blog to learn more about you.
This is a cool place for me to bookmark ~

Powerful Knowledge new generation.Mr. G why u keep secrets No 1. why@ ? @ Y….thanks u Mr. G.
big bro gobala …mmm saya budak baru belajar ….kena try and error lah .baru feel buat blog guna adsense .
Tell real life experience.
Gobala, you wrote something nice about your life, Kidino wrote something nice about his life and Armand wrote something funny about himself.
Then there is the the ummmph factor. Your girlfriend, Kidino’s daughter and Armand’s beard.
Hehe….just giving my two cents.
It is documented in the e-Code, three topics that can draw the MOST response …
babies,
pets,
women
well, Mr Kidino let the cat out of the bag.
yes, the best way to get response is to talk about your pet, your kid (or someone else’s kid) and women.
you also need to include pictures cos they say “a thousand words”. the cuter the person / pet the better…
if you’re blogging on a serious topic (e.g business or tech) don’t do it too often, but DO IT. it allows your readers to connect with you at a more personal level.
another important thing: ask for comments
Armand Morin asked for his readers to vote on how he should look. I asked readers to wish my girlfriend good luck. So you have to ASK for their comment.
As long giving a comment is easy and will not make them look foolish, they will do it. If they feel like they need to think what they are going to say (for fear of being wrong) they are less likely to comment.
Once they comment, I guarantee that they will feel a part of your blog, even if they don’t return for the next 10 weeks
Once they read , … The shift is starting to creep into workplace communication, too.
That’s a “bulb” light on my head… I think got write some personal post instead of normal posts only.
Thanks my fren.
Thank you, Gobala! Very nice speech. At the first time I read your article in IAHBE, I simply talked to myself. “who is this guy?” and I did not know you’re Malaysian. I think I love U and your blog. Frankly speeking, I am one of your follower. Hope one day I could meet U.
google adsense are dying!!!many of pro blogger and webmaster had said it.
