For any website owner that has a blog, the dream is to build an engaged audience that leaves comments, shares the published content, regularly returns to the site and is happy to endorse or recommend the site to other users on the web. The combination of these actions amplifies a blog’s SEO visibility. Unfortunately, many bloggers struggle when it comes to building their blog traffic. SEO Agency Online Marketing Gurus have provided the following content marketing tips that will help your blog increase its organic search traffic.
Create Valuable Posts
Different bloggers have different success with long or short posts. However, the key to being successful with blogging is by delivering valuable content to your readers. Many successful bloggers have found that by producing well-researched long-form content, they were able to improve engagement on the site, reduce bounce rates, increase readership and improve their keyword reach for their posts. Ways to create valuable posts include:
- Developing specific content that is highly desired by your reader.
- Showing statistics.
- Showing results of any research or case studies.
- Citing quotes.
- Referencing other credible resources.
Use Trends that are likely to gain traction on the web.
Rather than recreate the wheel, identify content pieces that have performed well on the web. There are several tools that you can use to identify emerging trends or that has gained social buzz across the web. They include:
BuzzSumo allows bloggers to search for content that has performed well across social media and that has also generated links. The tool provides data that shows the people who shared the content across Google Plus, Facebook and Twitter. The more shares the content has received, the more likely the content will be well received by web readers.
Google Trends: A free tool offered by Google that allows web users to monitor current and emerging topic trends. Bloggers can use the tool to identify and jump on trends as they are emerging to catch the wave of traffic as the trend gains more popularity.

Conduct Keyword Research

Competing to rank for highly competitive keywords isn’t a short-term approach that will allow the site to organically build web traffic from organic search. Instead, find keyword opportunities that aren’t as competitive but still have traffic demand each month. You can use tools such as the Google keyword planner. However, other tools to consider include Wordstream and SEMRush to find niche keywords that you can rank for quickly. Make sure to use these keywords on your next post do proper onpage SEO.

Can you please tell me if changing a web hosting can improve the speed of your website?
I am currently using godaddy hosting and speed is very slow. Would you like to suggest me something?
Hoping a quick response from you.
Thanks Ammar
Hi Abhishek,
Web hosting does affect your website speed directly. I’ve experienced this. Godaddy has this problem all the time. Many customers are complaining about it.
I recommend you to change your web host. If you need my suggestion I suggest, go with InMotion. This is the web host I’m currently using. If you need me help with your blog migration. Feel free to get in touch through the contact form. :)

Hi Anmar,
While I do go with the long form content packed with useful data, stats, quotes, case studies and other users benefits elements, I still believes that what necessary and most important is offer your audience with the right contents.
The right content is what your readers wants to read and not what you impose on them because the search engine dictate so.
Thanks Felix for sharing, is such a nice read.
Hi Anmar,
Its very good idea to get alert from google about trending topic its not only help us write trending topic but also helps saving time doing research for topic.
