Feed your WordPress Demons!
A lot of bloggers spend a lot of time developing high quality content to keep their visitors coming back for me. But what they don’t focus on is promoting the content they have worked on already. Let’s say you blog 3 times a week. After a year, you are going to have over 150 posts on your blog. Would people still be able to find your older posts on your blog? Do you give them a way to do that on your blog? Thankfully, there are plenty of plugins that give you the opportunity to do that.
If you happen to have a lot of articles on your blog and want to give your visitors a chance to find your other top articles by linking out to them from your sidebar or below your articles, here are 5 plugins you should try:
Random Posts: if you just want to give your visitors a chance to find out about your other articles on a random basis, you can count on this cool plugin. It comes with a lot of options and lets you modify the look and feel of how articles are presented on your website.
Popular Posts: this is my favorite plugin in this bunch. It keeps track of how many people are visiting your articles and displays a list based on that information with your top visited articles at the top. No matter how many articles you have on your website, it’s always nice to have a way to display the very best of what your blog has to offer to your visitors.
I don’t know about you, but I have hundreds of profiles online. It’s not just Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and the top sites we are talking about. There are plenty of other smaller social networks that I am a part of and take time to participate in from time to time. Sometimes it’s too easy to get carried away with all these social networks and forget what you need to do to get the best out of them. Only by participating and sharing information you can gain traction on these sites. Of course, you want to keep your social media accounts organized and promote them as well. That’s what Social Life does.
Social Life is a cool Wordpress theme that lets you aggregate your online social media presences and integrate them all into one page. We are talking about your videos, Facebook, RSS feeds, Twitter feed, and much more. Of course, you don’t have to use all these services. If you are not active on Delicious or just don’t want to add your Vimeo videos to your personal page, you can easily turn them off. (more…)
