Why Use Video and Podcasts on Your Blog?

The age of having multitude of text on your blog to attract visitors to the website is passé. This is evident from a recent case study from a prominent marketing company on the advantage of video podcasting over traditional text. Here, a white paper was released by the company using video podcasting exclusively, and it experienced a 30% sign-up rate. This was a 200% progress from what had been achieved by the release of the same white paper as exclusive textual content. This, in a nutshell, summarizes the strength of video and podcasts as the new-age marketing tools to rivet the niche audience group’s attention on your blog or service.

A high conversion rate on your blog may not necessarily mean that you are achieving the optimum amount of sales from it. For instance, if your conversion rate is 2%, 2 out of 100 visitors sign up for your service/ product. The 98 who left were potential clients, who could have been converted into customers. This is where mailing lists come into the picture. A powerful affiliate marketing tool, mailing lists can considerably improve your sales, as well as bring fresh clients/ customers for your blog or website.

Acquiring an improved targeted traffic is almost always tedious and requires a solid investment from the sites’ end. A comprehensive SEO program may attract hundreds of quality back-links and organic targeted traffic, but it may take months or even years to produce visible results. For those who wish to attain traffic inflow to their website/blog fast, there are several ways to do so. One of the main advantages of using such channels for acquiring a huge amount of traffic inflow is that most of them don’t need to be paid for – or entail only a small amount of monetary investment.

• Article Marketing – Having professionally written, keyword rich articles and submitting them to high PageRank directories is one of the easiest and proven methods to acquire improved traffic in a short period of time. Make sure that the article directories you submit to have a high PageRank and also do not drag time in reviewing and publishing the submitted articles.

• Updates – Regular updates, especially, in the form of keyword-rich content, helps in regular indexing by search engines. Frequent updates also attract visitors to the site, thus, increasing the traffic inflow of the site.

• Forums – Promoting one’s website in public forums that encourage discussion and debate. Moreover, webmaster forums are a great resource to get links to your site and enjoy a high traffic inflow within a short span of time. But first and foremost, do make sure that the webmaster forums you are contributing to are ‘dofollow’. ‘Nofollow’ forums do not provide back-links, hence, they are useless from the perspective of online marketing or achieving a higher targeted traffic volume.

• Blog Commenting – One of the latest thrills of social media marketing, blog commenting can be a great way to kick-start voluminous traffic inflow to your blog/site within no time at all. High PageRank blog posts have a good amount of visitor inflow, and to post well-executed promotional comments can give you sales from the same visitor group. But do not start commenting on any and every blog – post only on those that have a high PageRank and the category/consumer base of which matches your service/product/blog type.

• Tag Keywords – This does not ensure improved traffic inflow, but will surely help you to improve the indexing frequency of your blog/ site in search engines. The ‘title tag’, the ‘header tag’ and ‘meta tags’ play a crucial role in actually obtaining traffic from search engines. If these tags are not present or haven’t used the right keywords, search engines often skip indexing such blog/sites. This result in the loss of potential clients as traffic inflow rate drops. Execute the tags well, and you will experience a miraculous rise in visitor statistics as well as increased sales.

Other than these options, you can also choose to pursue an aggressive advertising campaign in both conventional media as well as online. This works for small-time or amateur enterprises that want to break into the industry against larger corporations.

If you are looking for long-term traffic, conventional online marketing is always the way to go for. However, for those who need an immediate hike in targeted traffic inflow, these options should suffice very well.
