You want visitors to visit your site and to visit again. You invest a great deal of effort in getting those visitors onto your website in the first place, so do not let that effort go to waste by not attracting these visitors back time after time. Here are 3 blogging tips to keep them coming back!

Blogging Tip 1 – Have A Good Looking Site
Simple, but a fact. If your blog is not visually appealing, then visitors are not going to keep coming back. Why? Well, because they will not like what they see!

Make sure that you choose a theme that looks good and matches your subject. Not too many flashing features that will distract and use only subtle adverts. When you add adverts, just keep it to one or two advert positions and concentrate on the most highly productive of your advertising schemes. Putting too many on one page will make visitors think you are not interested in them, just their money and will also hide those well performing adverts.

Also, choose a theme that includes good navigation, else modify the theme to improve the navigation. If it is easy to find your best writing on the site and most relevant posts then visitors will read more in a single visit. The more they read, the more chance there is that they will decide that your have some value in your blog and will return at a later date.

Blogging Tip 2 – Make It Easy For Them To Follow Your Updates
Does your blog offer an easy to find RSS feed? Do you have a page that explains how to use an RSS feed? Just because they are reading your blog does not mean that they know how to use RSS. If you do not want to give a full description, at least link to a page on another site where they can find out what to do. By being the first site to nurse them through this process they might just go for it with you!

What if they do not want to use RSS? Then provide them with an email newsletter option and every week send out an email to your list of subscribers. List in this newsletter your latest posts. This is better than a RSS feed to you as in the email you can also add an advert or two.

Also, to keep your visitors up to date with what you are doing post a list of latest posts on Twitter and advise that they follow your Twitter updates. This can be done automatically with a variety of available pluggins.

Blogging Tip 3 – Keep Up Dating
One thing above all else will make sure that people are coming back to your blog – something new to read. If you do not keep posting new content, then why should they come back? What drive is there to make them want to return to read something else? Give them something new to read and make sure that they know about it.

Aim to write at least a few times per week, but spread out the writing. There is little point in posting three new posts on Monday morning if you then do not post again until the following morning. If you do get through all of your writing in one session, just save some of the material as drafts and come back later in the week to publish it!
