Getting Clicks in Flixya

How do I get more traffic to my blog?

Flixya Bloggers that don’t get this crucial point end up being tiny islands in a very big ocean. I believe the biggest thought of most Newbies in Flixya is “I’ve built it, but no-one’s come to visit.”

Instead, you need to get involved! Regardless of your topic, I bet there are already other people blogging about the same issues, thoughts and ideas, even if you don’t agree with them. Join their conversation — on their territory — and you’ll be leaving your island and joining the party.

Here’s an easy tip that I tell other Bloggers: two days a week spend an hour writing one thoughtful and cogent article that’s relevant to your target readership. Imagine you’re going to be having it picked up and published in one of the key trade publications in your marketplace. Good grammar, good spelling, coherent sentences, and a valuable point or insight are all important. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but I promise you, the better you write, the more your potential of getting noticed.

Cogent article that’s relevant to your target Readership:

Many Flixya Members just spend their time in Flixya copying articles from one source or another and pasting it into their Flixya Blog? No originality, no theme, no purpose? (I too have made this mistake)You want people to come to your Blog but yet you post content that everyone else posts? The key is originality and some conformity! I posted an article a while back about finding a topic (Theme) and sticking to it!

I see many Members in Flixya just post anything and then spend allot of time within Flixya giving hits to other members and think that’s the secret? It isn’t sorry to say!

Flixya’s creators have given you great tools to promote your Adsense and get your Blog noticed but allot of the work is really up to you. You need to post original content (Pictures, YoutubeVideos, Articles) into your Flixya Blog. If you have a hard time with English and are afraid to write something, then post Pictures or Video and find Articles that relate to them?

Example: You’re from Thailand and your English isn’t that good

1. Post pictures or Video of, Family, Thailand or something you like allot!

Then go Online to a search engine (I use Google of course) and search for articles related to your Pictures or Video

Then copy and paste them into your Flixya Blog. If you post pictures about Bangkok then find articles about Bangkok.

1. The next job is of course RSS linking or promoting your Flixya Blog on the internet through other Blogs that talk about the same thing as you? If you go back to Google Search again and search for Blogs similar to yours and then make a comment and add a link back to your Flixya Blog. This will bring outside traffic to your Flixya Blog and will help in generating clicks to your Adsense. If you think members in Flixya are going to click your Adsense ads think again! Its people outside of Flixya that find your Blog that click your ads!

The other three days of the week? Find other blogs (See above) that are in your market space and add thoughtful comments to their discussions. Sometimes, when appropriate, link back to your own articles, but other times add your own comments just to participate in the ongoing discussion and, yes, gain some visibility in your marketspace.

Over time you’ll gain a reputation as a credible expert and people will start checking out your blog to see what you have to say. Then you’ll have gained traffic and visibility in your market segment, which is where it’s most important anyway.

I spend a fair amount of my time scanning both blog and news headlines (via RSS using technorati) and then popping onto other weblogs and adding my two cents. It’s fun, rewarding, and helps me gain visibility in a way that writing even the best darn blog could never accomplish.

I hope this helps you out?
