Balkhis - Vision For Success

A way to expose your blog to a larger audience


When i launched Balkhis, I signed myself up with Mybloglog for the basic purpose of getting recent readers on my website and display that widget. But i realize much more benefits of this service rather than just that. This service which is ran by yahoo increased the popularity of the blog as more and more people were visiting the site while they search for the tags.

I will share some techniques i used to make mybloglog works best for me at balkhis. First when i joined my sole purpose was to get that widget, but as i looked more into it, I realize how useful this was. I actually went ahead and started trying some of the things that i think might work. First, I knew that the readers that i am getting is through the search feature of theirs because how else will they find a relatively new site?

I added some decent keywords that relates to Balkhis, such as earn money. Once that was done i let it stay for a day and checked the result in traffic, and infcat the traffic increased as i add some decent keywords. My next goal was how to get people to visit my community (Balkhis).

I started joining other communities that were related to my niche. Now you can’t abuse the service because they only let you join 15 new communities a day, so i joined 15 the first day, and continued the process for 5 straight days. I kept adding other people’s communities the ones that i found kool. Just to build a better network, and when you join someone else’s community your picture shows up in the community member list, and thats how people can find you. As well as it shows other people who join the same community as you in your user page.

Ultimate promotion technique


Now i call this ultimate promotion technique because this brings in alot of result and alot of traffic. Now you might be thinking what it is? It is called Social Bookmarks. This concept of having audience related in different niche works great. Find out how. Well these social bookmark sites allows the user to bookmark your website into their personal profile. Now this is just one person, but all of his/her friend will see your link in his bookmarks as well.

Now if they visit and like your website, you can get another bookmark and that person’s friend will see your link as well. So in reality while it is building you a few backlinks, it is getting you crazy amount of traffic. Now many of these companies are offering advertising services as well. I am a big fan of stumbleupon as the promotion there really converts into results. It is a similar concept to adsense, and you can read more about advertising with stumble upon here.

Now here is another way you can do this. Get some people to bookmark your site. No i am not saying pay for those services that give you 500 stumbleupons. Most of them don’t work, but actually put a contest like i’ll pay this amount per bookmark you add my site in, and then pay adequately. Now say if you get 20 people to bookmark your site in about 100 or so sites that works like a charm. You get backlinks and from there you can see the bookmark count increases by itself as time goes because people who has bookmarked it now their friends have added you also, and their friend’s friends has added you also. This way you can generate some good traffic by just paying those 20 people and keep the content updated with your blog or your website which you were doing regardless.

You would have to read the full post to get to know all of it :)

Attracting more and more visitors


Alot of people tend to believe online business is much easier then regular business because online clients are easier to find. Well no, it is the same process as any other local business would have. You need to have a good client base. Online business is a place where reputation is a key, and you will see me saying this in almost each and every single post because it is that important for the success of an online business.

You will attract more and more visitors if each client you had was happy with your service. Now the client can be a visitor as well or a user because you have no idea how much these people can do for you. First of all, free mouth to mouth advertising. If they really like your website, they can even add you in their social bookmarks so other people can see it. Now the question becomes how will you attract those users, those clients, those visitors ?? Well read on and i will show you a few tricks.

Importance of Social Bookmarks in the Template

Social Bookmarks are essential for web advertising. By saying that i make my point clear about that it is necessary to promote your blog(s) and websites added in the social bookmarks. The question comes on how exactly will you advertise on the different social bookmark websites. That problem is solved by one of the Social bookmark submitters like Add to Bookmarks or Addme. Many people even go as far as paying others to bookmark their sites. All these ways work, but ok you can pay one guy, ten guys, twenty guys. It will end somewhere, but your site won’t end. You will have to keep going, so how will you get each and every single one of your user to bookmark your website or blog posts.

An easy way to do is by placing icons for the most popular social bookmark service below your post. What this will do is when someone reads the post, and they really like it. They will just click on the icon to stumble, digg, or add it to other bookmarks rather than going through the hassle of manually submitting each. I did it on balkhis and it helps alot. I am happy to offer it to my loyal users also. I hope you guys will make a good use out of this information and hopefully it helps your site. If this advice helps any of you and you get results, don’t be shy about posting your results here.

Following are the list of services that is included:

Digg
Del.icio.us
Technorati
Blinklist
Furl
Reddit
