-Increasing Visibility and Traffic to Your Blog

There are a number of things that you can do to increase the visibility of your ministry blog and the number of different people actually visiting your site.  Are numbers all that important?  Ask a Pastor if he or she would rather have a growing church or a stagnant one.

A lot depends upon the goals and reasons you started the blog in the first place. 

If it is primarily a house blog that is designed to meet a need in your church or ministry group than promoting your blog on the internet is probably unnecessary.  If it was designed to target your own group but to also minister to anyone else who happens to stumble on the site, then you might consider doing a few easy things to increase that possibility.

For those who blog as an outreach, then it makes sense to do and be all that you can be in terms of increasing visibility and driving greater numbers to your site.

Number one on the list is always to ‘write good articles’ that others will want to read. Usually number two is frequency of posting.  Some hold that it is important to post often.but the internet is always in flux and what might have worked last year may no longer be effective. Plus the policies of different search engine are constantly changing.

In order to know what works right now for increasing visibility of your site on the internet, research it out on Google or your favorite search engine: How to increase visibility of my blog or website? or How to increase the number of visitors to my website?

There are a number of professional blogs and websites that keep up with the current trends and search engine requirements. Look at several of the first ones that come up.
