How To Attract A Long Term Audience To Your Blog

For some bloggers, they will want to gain as much organic traffic as possible because organic traffic usually results in a higher percentage of new visitors as compared to returning visitors. For other bloggers, though, returning visitors might be key to the success of their website/blog. Maybe, organically, the website does not rank well at all and in order to get traffic, the website has to rely on returning visitors? Who knows. Any blog in theory can encourage visitors to return to their blog. In order to do this, you will need to try and take up the following points below.

Post Frequently and Same Day Each Week

One of the best ways you can get visitors to visit your website more than once is to continually post articles on certain days of the week. If you decide to randomly post articles, you should not be surprised that you will not get many returning visitors: there is no real incentive for the visitors to return. If they know you are going to publish new articles on, let’s say, Tuesdays and Thursdays, it will be very likely that the visitors will return to your website on these days in order to read the new articles you have scheduled to publish. The key is to schedule when you post online and stick to that schedule.

Encourage Bookmarks

Another way to get returning visitors is to encourage the web user to bookmark your web page. This, in essence, means the web page has proven to be extremely useful to the web user: so much that they will find it useful to go back from time to time again to read that web page. This does mean your quality of your content has to be of the highest. But, if you feel you cannot stick to a strict scheduling of post, this is the next best thing to encourage returning visitors.

You can do this through adding bookmark buttons to the top or bottom of your articles or even mark them float to the side of the article as they read through it!

Be As Human As Possible

I am sure that you will have come across articles on the internet that sound like they were written by a robot. These type of articles will turn visitors away from returning to that website. What web users really like are articles that sound like they were written by another human being. If the web user feels like they can engage with the article more because they feel like they are reading from another human being, the likelihood is that they will visit that website again.

The best articles are the ones that show your personality in them too so that not only are web users returning to read high quality and scheduled content, they are also returning to connect with your personality in the articles again.
