The importance of getting RSS subscribers: life traffic away from Google
I have read so many different stories on the internet like the John Chow one where the one internet webmaster tell of how badly he had worked on his online live chat site, relying solely on Google Adsense and earning a great $6,000 from it - only to find one day that Google Adsense NO LONGER support online live chat websites whatsoever.One story, which is just the thousands of similar stories shared by others who's rankings have been heavily deprived of by the deadly Google Penguin and the much revered Google Panda.
The question is: Do you have endeavors of starting a new blog from scratch, are in the very process of it - and plan on solely rely on google or search engine traffic?
The best advise I'd be able to give you is this: walk lightly for that panda and that penguin out there. No one knows for sure exactly how and of what their ranking algorithms are made of - but only the one thing - that they're walking like a hungry lion and tiger around waiting to make mince meat of any blog or site that seem to be infected with spam.
The results are losing half the traffic - even 90% of it. Or much much worse - getting deindexed and banned from the google search engine . . .
So what do you do?
You build up a credible list by doing nothing other that to embrace your viewers with content so mind blowing that they'd want to visit your blog every single day.
How will you be able to do just that and how will you be able to stay ahead of the line?
Simple. While creating blog posts and ensuring that you are definitely honoring your brand - you will need to take the added and drastic measures to also feed your blog readers on a daily basis.
Don't, however, just like many other bloggers out there, make the fatal fault of producing jargon every single day (just for the sake of having a blog post for the day).
There are very many ways to go about generating traffic: social bookmarking, article marketing and even guest blogging (which is something not quite for the faint hearted).
In fact - if you want to go that far - you can even throw in that auto submission tools to create a massive amount of presence on the internet in the hope for traffic to your blog. Getting 10,000 backlinks is one thing (whether dofollow or nofollow).
Being able to tag your name and blog on thousands of websites by means of an extremely well written article(s) is what is going to become a lifesaver.
In fact. Lets leave it right there. You do the math.
The next time the Panda or the bear, lion or gorilla (whatever Google calls there next update again) walks by your site and reacts spiteful of being the life source of your traffic - just throw that auto submission tool in its face - and say: Likewise.
