Ever wondered why particular bloggers become famous
in less time and why particular blogs get dramatically more traffic in
small span of time??? Then, you are at right place. Most of such
bloggers have a well planned Blogging strategy which makes them achieve
their goals faster than others. They have a good mix of SEO, reader interaction and reputation for their blogs which enables them to surpass other bloggers in their niche.
I kept a close look at the activities of such bloggers and now, presenting you the 9-pointer strategy to surpass other bloggers in your niche.
9 pointer Strategy :
Work on the 9-pointer strategy below and I am sure you can easily bypass other Bloggers in your niche.
1. Unique content and Creativity:
This
is going to occupy position in every list of blogging tips. We have no
alternative to Unique content. Try your best to include at least 2-3
unique points in your content. Stop repeating the same points which are
found on other blogs in your niche. Use your creativity. Everytime,
before hitting the “Publish” button, ask yourself “Why will visitor read my article and not other’s article???”. If you’ve got the answer to this question, it’s the time to hit on “Publish”.
2. Close look at their topics and Better Articles:
Note
the topics which are popular on other blogs in your niche. Research on
that topic using Google and develop an article which is far better than
the article on the niche blog. Post it on your blog and also, if
possible, linkback to this article from the niche blog. You can use
Commenting and Guest Posting for linking back.
3. SEO a.k.a Search Engine Optimization:
You want to get more traffic than other bloggers in your niche. Right??? Then work on SEO to get good amount of organic traffic
from search engines. Organic traffic can work wonders in building your
blog readership. Research on the keywords for which the other bloggers
are getting decent traffic from Google. Start working on SEO for the same keywords. This will take time, but the end result will declare you as the winner.
4. Backlinks:
You want to rank higher than your buddy bloggers in Google search. Backlinks play a major role in SERP. So, use BacklinkWatch
to check for all possible backlinks to their blogs. Put an effort to
get the same backlinks to your blog. Plus, you have to get backlinks
from other blogs too. This will increase your backlinks count taking
your result ahead of your buddy bloggers in Google search.
5. Use social networks:
Connect
with your buddy bloggers on social networks. Social network is a great
place to develop relationships and to foster your business. Try to be
helpful to other bloggers in your niche. Yes, they are your competitors,
but make sure the competition is healthy!!! Also, take time to connect
with your readers on Facebook and Twitter. This will help in bridging
the “stranger-gap” between you and your readers, helping in building
loyal readership for your blog.
6. Guest post/comment on niche:
You
want to drive traffic from top blogs in your niche. So, the best way is
to start Guest Posting on such blogs. Make sure you add an attractive “Author-Bio” section
with a link to your blog. But, it is not possible to Guest Post
everywhere. At such times, commenting does the trick. Try your best to
add valuable points to the discussion and also find your place in Top
Commentators widget. You can refer my article on How to post an efficient comment.
7. Prove them wrong:
Take
a close look at each post of bloggers in your niche with a view to find
errors in their opinions. Once you get such error, post an article on
your blog on the same topic and correct the mistake
done by your niche blogger. This will no doubt, proclaim your
superiority over the buddy blogger. But, make sure that you handle this
point in a friendly manner as you are more probable of harming relations
with such bloggers.
8. Presentation and Personal lingo:
Another important trick is to develop your own style of writing articles
and using the same style throughout your blog. This will make readers
addicted to your posts and they will return to your blog, even if they
find the same information elsewhere on web. So, in short, article
presentation format does the trick over here. Also, developing your own
personal lingo highlights your articles from the rest.
9. Develop your Blogger reputation:
Develop yourself as a Brand in your niche. We know several great bloggers like Darren Rowse known as ProBlogger and Brian Clark known as CopyBlogger
who have demonstrated the importance of this point. I know this is not
done within a fortnight. But, nothing comes an easy way in Blogging.
Refer my article on How to develop your Blogger Reputation to get yourself a reputation as a successful blogger.
So friends, this was the 9-Pointer strategy which can help you in building your loyal readership and surpassing other bloggers in your niche.
