Blog Post Series – Who, What, Where?

A blog post series is basically a series of blog posts which are focused around the same topic and are posted within a shared time frame of each other. Having a Blog Series section allows you to put like related topics into a post/page and link them together. Basically you can think of it as a directory of your blog posts, which allows your readers to fly through content quicker.

Now you may be wondering isn’t that what categories do? Well yes and no. Categories link to the articles, and article summaries in a page styled format. A blog post series directory would be a post/page which links all of the links related to that field within a time frame. Here are a few differences:
- Different than a category, because it’s focused around one general idea or point.
- Better than a category because it’s more in depth, focused on one point, which brings targeted traffic to it.
- Blog series keep your like content organized – easy to read, spider, and link to.

By posting within a series you are bringing traffic to that series’ new and old posts at the same time, not to mention targeted traffic.
More to come + examples tomorrow so stay tuned!

Article Marketing is Easy Traffic!

    Having trouble finding easy free traffic to your site?

  • Article Marketing is simple and free traffic to your website. By publishing articles about your niche you are expanding your exposure and impression on the internet as a leading authority of knowledge. Publishing articles allows the company to present quality original content to it’s subscribers. When those subscribers read and share your article you get traffic from back links, ping backs, and track backs created by your article. Articles also helps your search engine page rank, by having a live link to your site in the authors biography/resource box. Article Marketing is easy traffic for the following reasons:
      Creating Live Inbound Links
      Self-Branding, Authority Image
      Reach Subscribed Targeted Audiences
      Increased Exposure=Increased Traffic
      Chance to create/be featured in an eBook with your articles
  • Creating Live Inbound Links
      Through your author resource box you are adding in 1-3 links to sites which relate to the author or the article. This helps build in-links/back links to your sites and will affect your search engine page rank in a promising way. Also Live Inbound Links can be obtained by having a user/author profile with the specific company/site which will and can include live links back to your site as well.
  • Self-Branding
      Self-Branding is just important now as it was 3-5 years ago. By creating a follower and reader base through quality content rich articles written by yourself you will be labeled as an authority in your niche. This takes time to build, but the results are fantastic. Everyone hopes to build a name for themselves in life, either as president/ceo of a company or as an actor/actress, etc. The internet is no different, if you seem like you know what your talking about and people enjoy reading what you have to say they will follow you. Just look at John Chow and ShoeMoney, they have great websites setup with thousands of followers due to self-branding.
  • Reach Subscribed Targeted Audiences
      Many times when you submit your article to article submission directories they are placed in certain categories. By categorizing articles into certain topics, people know exactly what to expect when they go to the section “Article Marketing”, or “Marketing with Ezine Articles”. This allows you to reach a targeted audience of subscribed readers to your specific topic. It’s important to establish a strong reader base for your articles as they will also be picked up by search engines and can propel your page rank within weeks of being published.
  • Increased Exposure = Increased Traffic
      If you have a higher search engine page rank your article traffic will increase, which will increase your blog/site traffic, which will then increase your page rank even higher. Okay, that’s in a perfect world. Realistically speaking, you can hope to see about 100-500+ unique visitors a month from a free article submission depending on the topic. If you do a paid submission then you will see a much much larger number.
  • Chance to create/be featured in an eBook with your articles
      If you publish alot of articles it’s wise to advertise that your articles can be reprinted/included in an eBook with/without your permission dependent on they link back to your site/article. This creates a viral marketing effect, because free eBooks have a very good tendency to spread like wildfire throughout the internet, especially if they are filled with quality content. Another important thing to consider is once you get 5-10 articles/posts on a certain topic you should begin to think about making your own free eBook which can be sent out via email newsletter/or can be sold through your site.

  A weblog, also known as a blog, is basically an online journal where you can type your thoughts, ideas, opinions, and practically anything that you want to share. The information you share on a blog can be kept private, like a diary, or made public. A blogger has, at their sole discretion, the choice to talk about and share anything they want. A blog can be seen as many things, many blogs fall into the category of personal or business/corporate. Some blogs also take a more media proactive approach, with web cams, videos, and audio recordings. The below information should prove useful.
