The amount of information that’s available on the Internet to essentially everybody is extraordinary and dangerously powerful. The increased use of social media platforms, search engines, virtual market places and blogs has created a new demand for online wizards and tech-savvy liaisons to use the plethora of websites and media tools to their fullest potential. Because a plethora of knowledge is readily available to Internet users, the presence of academic and media publications in the form of encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers and books is drastically depleted and often disregarded.
A recent social media infographic by Go Globe, estimated that in 60 seconds, more than 98,000 tweets are shared on Twitter, more than 695,000 status updates are posted on Facebook, 694,445 search queries are conducted with Google, more than 60 blogs are published in different domains and more than 12,000 new ads are posted on Craigslist. The colossal amount of information that is shared and retrieved in 60 seconds exemplifies how much the Internet and its tools are used by the general public and the need for online professionals to expedite the power of online resources for potential business.
social media platforms in sixty seconds: a jungle of shared information
A website evaluation tool Grader, helps businesses and individuals measure and analyze their respective marketing efforts, claims that businesses that blog at least 20 times a month generate five times more traffic and four times more leads than those that only blog a few times a month. Knowing that 65 percent of Internet users read one blog every day, consider how much traffic your blog could generate if it were shared across multiple platforms. To maximize blog traffic, it’s crucial to share information among various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and blog domains like Blogger and WordPress. Grader claims that blog posts shared on Twitter alone get 113 percent more inbound links than those not shared with social media at all.
Unique content rich with keywords is the key to increased website and blog traffic. Determine what the primary topic of the blog is and what keywords users would search when researching that topic. Write concise, informative content littered with keywords that will direct users to your publication. Optimize page titles and page descriptions to snag a spot in the first page of search results. Use this shared knowledge and tips to generate more traffic to your website’s blog this holiday season.
