self perpetuating traffic online part 3
In the last post/article, I explained how powerful this system can potentially be. I hope that those that read it have even better ideas than I do, and can achieve this quickly and easily. (and if you do, I'd like to know about it)
Now at first, I thought it might be incorrect to add this to my site. After all, although 1:1 is our ultimate goal, it would take 100% of the viewers to click on it in order for me to have a site that is able to be something that I literally can "set and forget". Even then, it can only sustain itself, and not increase at all. In addition, people have the opportunity to go elsewhere, and my competitors would love it, but if I could generate better than 1:1 without it, it seems more effecient. However, I actually thought about it in depth. I found myself factoring all the methods I had applied, and all the possibilities. A visitor could check out my blog, sign up for the newsletter, and read the first post, a few of them would sign up for the traffic exchanges, etc. some would click on the blogospher and not come back, but even if they did, if they had signed up for my newsletter, and If I provided them with good ideas, and good content, they still might come back. In addition, they would bring another visitor who could potentially do the same. When they come back to my site, they could click on blogrush site again, or they could sign up for my RSS Feed and come back more often, they could check out the methods and sign up, they could Digg my articles and increase my exposure slightly there, which will lead to more views and more diggs and more exposure. It should conitinue to grow. But then I saw blogrush on someone else's blo that I really liked. I clicked on the blogosphere but I wanted to stay on the page I was at, so I right clicked and opened the window in a new tab. In this new tab I noticed an article that was ok, I wouldn't be comming back to the blog because it was only slightlyabove average, and wasn't spectacular... BUT I saw 2 posts on blogrush that looked interesting so I opened the first in the new tab and the 2nd in the same tab. Now I eventually closed the windows, but I realized how much I love Blog RUSH. It was adicting to be able to check out so many high quality blogs glance on and move on to the next. I realized then that not only would the readers love the best sites, and come back, but theoretically someone that goes to aanother site, could continue to click on blogrush until they come across the same blog again, either the same post, or a different one. In this way, blog rush is very similar to (stumble upon), only it's a widget that you post on your site, rather than a toolbar you install. and there's no biased towards the sites that have gotten massive stumbles, instead there's a bias towards the ones that write a lot of content, with good titles, and sites that have a lot of people clicking on another blogrush post. This would be like every time someone stumbles from one site to another, the site they were on actually gets another credit. In some ways the sites with useless information or quick posts will get a lot of people on the site that DONT like their site so they move on by clicking on the bloggrush link. Fortunately blogrush inspects the blogs to asee if it measures up against a strict set of guidelines. I tried to submit my blog after only having a few posts, and realized after being rejected that my site didn't have enough unique content on it. It had a couple posts, that was it. So I immediately used the articles that I was about to send to the search engines, and posted them, and a couple days later I resubmitted and this time got accepted. Just having a desire to have blogrush on your site forces you to have a better blog, and it's kind of like an instant consultant for free as they'll tell you why they rejected you. You can make corrections, and then see if you fixed the problems, or if there are other problems.
So even if blog rush doesn't generate 1 viewer for every viewer you bring to your site, it will still add value to your site, and allow you to get more viewers, as long as you can have ways in place to get your viewers back to your blog.
