This time I’d like to share the 7 simple reasons of my most popular blog posts. Notice that I’m using the word «simple». The simplicity of these reasons very often is the cause of forgetting all or some of them.

Besides, if you’re new to blog promotion, then this post will be your guide.

My 3 Most Popular Blog Posts

I have a total of 51 blog posts (the current one is the 52nd), where only 3 became truly popular by now.

Here they are…

1. Insane List of 140 Do Follow & Nofollow Blogs with CommentLuv 2010

   

   This post has become the most visited one – it has ~2500 visits by this moment, which is the best result for my blog. It also has 20 retweets, which was incredible for my blog for that time, when I was getting not more, than 2-4 retweets on average.

   I think this is fair, because I, actually, spent ~2 days and approx. 36 hours to compile that list. Plus, this is very actual topic.. even now.

2. Getting Website Traffic in 2010

   

   Here I have used a lot of basic principles of getting website traffic in 2010. I wanted to get to the first page of Google with that big post, but I couldn’t, because the compepitors were too strong (and they are still now) having great numbers of backlinks.

   Nevertheless, with that post I have learned, that the volume of the post does not guarantee you good search results.

   But still.. this is my 2nd most popular post with 17 retweets, 120 stumbles and 968 pageviews.

3. 22 Blogs Accepting Guest Posts: Only the Best Ones

   

   Guest posting is rather fresh and extremely actual topic today. Somewhy… there are not too many lists like that, which is why my latest compilation of best guest blogs got ~40 retweets by today. And I think I can get even more… because I haven’t commented on blogs with CommentLuv, which usually attracts a lot of retweeters, if you have something worthy to show.

7 Reasons Why My Most Popular Blog Posts Are Popular

Nothing happens without a reason.. at least, this is how blogging works. And popular blog posts have always some certain explanations of their popularity. The most curious thing about this fact is that you can do the same by analyzing popular posts.

Here’s my example of how the analysis of blog posts’ popularity should look like. Pay attention, that I start from the most important reasons.

1. Trackbacks – When I know, that I’m writing a post on some actual topic – I always try to link to fresh, relevant and, more or less, popular blog posts, which accept trackbacks. There is no 100% guarantee, but usually some of them accept my trackbacks.

   If you’re new to the «science» of trackbacks, then you might find this Trackback Tutorial useful. If you would simply like to refresh your knowledge, read this short post with video – «Using trackbacks to get more links and traffic» by Jack Humphrey.

2. Feature Post – The greatest way to focus your visitors’ attention on some special post is to put it on the homepage of your blog. It won’t work, if your home page consists of your recent posts – it depends on your blog theme and your skills.

   Anyways, you can create a text widget on your sidebar and call it «Featured Post», where you should manually add a link to some certain post.

   Of course, there are other ways. For example, you can create a «Featured Post section in WordPress» or to install a special plugin – e.g. Featured Posts Plugin for WordPress

3. Twitter – is my #3 reason why my posts become popular. Today I can’t imagine my blog without Twitter, which plays a role of a window to the online world.

   New to Twitter? Simply follow Sarah’s Beginner’s Guide to Twitter to understand the basics of it.

   I remember how I have signed in on Twitter for the first time.

   «What are you doing?» – it asked.

   My first thought then was: «How the hell I’m supposed to promote my blog like that?!»

4. BlogEngage – This is a great blogging community, that can give you the general sense of the quality of your blog post.

   Thus, you can decide, if there is any point in additional promotion of your post to get the maximum.

   If BlogEngage is something you haven’t heard of before, read Brian’s (BlogEngage owner) post – How to use BlogEngage?

5. Subscribers – You can see, that this is my #5 reason of my blog posts popularity. The fact is that I don’t have thousands of subscribers and still it doesn’t mean, that my posts can’t become really popular.

   But.. I should admit, that the more subscribers you have, the greater will be the potential of your blog posts’ popularity.

   Just to help you with getting more subscribers – here’s CopyBlogger’s excellent article: «10 Effective Ways to Get More Blog Subscribers»

6. CommentLuv on My Blog – This is extremely hot plugin for your blog’s comments today to attract bloggers (commenters) to your blog. Then, if you have some great content, there is a chance, that it will be retweeted or somehow promoted by those, who came on your blog because of having CommentLuv plugin on your blog.

   There is no point in ignoring the CommentLuv plugin and not using this opportunity to increase the potential of your blog posts’ popularity.

   There is one exciting (..really!) article by Kikolani – «Reasons to Love CommentLuv Blogs».

7. Commenting on Blogs with CommentLuv – Commenting on CommentLuv blogs is also a great way to get some extra promotion of your posts. When you’re sure, that you have extremely quality last blog post – simply jump into commenting on blogs, that use CommentLuv. And no doubts, that this would help you as much as it helps me.

   Here’s the sneaky CommentLuv trick as an extra bonus for my readers – by Karl Foxley. This article can help you upgrade your way of commenting on blogs with CommentLuv.

How These 7 Reasons Actually Work?

I have spent approx. 2 hours to come up with the picture below, which explains why my 7 reasons really work!

You can see, that there are different font sizes and two types of arrows and boxes.

Here’s how you should treat them:

1. Different font sizes – This is very simple. The bigger – the more important.
2. Two types of arrows – There are pink ones and red ones. The red arrows mean, that what’s written in the box, where the arrows point at, depends on you. The pink arrows accordingly have the opposite meaning.
3. Narrow and bold boxes – I have tried to express the importance of the key points of this scheme. The bolder – the more important.

Video Dessert: «The World’s most amazing Basketball Shot»

A guy rebounds the ball and gets a shot off just milliseconds before the buzzer.
Watch the rest to see what happens.

A funny case study :)

I’ve been busy the last 10 days – no sorries. This pause helped me realize a lot of previous blogging mistakes and delusions. The base of the most of those delusions and mistakes was the misunderstanding of my blog’s traffic.

You see.. one thing is to treat your web traffic as clicks.. or a number of reads or pageviews, but treating it as people is completely another. And this is where begins web traffic demographics and the next level of your online success.

Now let’s get to the details.

4 Most Common Reasons of Delusions and Mistakes

Find yourself here. You still can fix your blogging mistakes. Just avoid the following delusions.

1. Comments: Lately I have faced one interesting fact. After I publish a new post.. I wait for comments. I look for people’ opinions. I want to be praised for my work.

   Isn’t that funny and stupid at the same time?

   In most cases we get comments from other bloggers, who simply visit your blog to get another backlink. They have to praise you (or to thank you), because otherwise you won’t accept that comment.

   Sometimes blog owners even mention, that they won’t accept negative or offensive comments.

   You see.. this whole system of commenting on blogs is built wrongly. So, why do we think, that these are our readers’ sincere opinions?

   Even when we get some beautiful, nice and big comment.. don’t rush to treat it seriously.

   Why?

   Because it might be some bloated comment in attempt to get more attention. Just check that author’s other comments and decide whether you’re right or wrong.

   Be careful. Sometimes people improve their comments with good motives.

2. Negative Feedback: I used to treat negative comments or e-mails too seriously. It distracts.. I know that.

   But one little thing I have learned so far is that you will keep getting negative feedback as long as you become more popular. People now even do not regret their time to judge you or to humiliate you. And this is a good sign.

   Again.. in most cases those people simply are losers. But.. sometimes it’s not that easy.

   Sometimes you get negative feedback, because you, actually, deserve it. But, you know, it’s about your experience, when it comes to treating the feedback seriously or not.

   Anyways, your blog development shouldn’t depend on single feedbacks… even if you’re about to lose your mind.

3. Reading Irrelevant Blogs: Of course we are not automatic machines nor robots. Sometimes we let ourselves read blogs we like even if those particular blogs do not relate to our blog’s niche.

   And there comes one problem.

   As we all are humans, we have to share our thoughts – we just need to, because they stick in our heads. And what do we do? We begin to write a post on our blog on that topic sharing our thoughts and opinions. But this is not what your readers are looking for! At least not most of them.

   If you blog about «blogging mistakes», then follow the plan. You have it done, right? If you haven’t, then your chances to get new subscribers decrease.

   The solution of this case is to try to belong to the targeted social media sphere of your blog’s niche.

4. Temptation to Be Like…: This is in our blood. We, bloggers, all were tought by A-list bloggers.. like.. whatever :)

   Today most of them are our idols and good examples.

   The biggest problem here is that we intuitively copy some part of their design or writing style or topic or else, which decreases the amount of signs of your own unique style… and that makes you look like an average blogger.

   How to avoid being like others?

   There is no certain solution, because this is about fixing your intuition and sticking to the plan of your business. This is why you need a plan or the list of the rules, which should help you not to lose your own unique way of your online journey.

How to Treat Web Traffic?

The answer is very simple.

Just treat your traffic as people, visitors, readers, commenters, students, pupils, children, pals, freinds. Treat it like that despite the traffic demographics.

Be aware of thinking that your web traffic is simply traffic or customers. They all have their families, friends and pets. They fall in love, they eat and sleep and they are just like you.

This simple method just looks so easy. But following it demands a lot of inner qualities, which can help you remember – it’s about Internet, that separates you and your site visitors.

Find out even more about Web Traffic Demographics. This article is written in 2008, but it is still actual.

Analysis of Web Traffic Demographics: 2 Web Tools

There are only 2 basic web tools to help you analyze your site traffic demographics.

• Quantcast.com – This tool gives you a lot of details about your traffic demographics, but it also needs a lot of time to analyze your site: 5-6 days to display basic info about your traffic and at least 1000 US visitors. Plus – Business and Geographic data will populate after 30 days of being quantified.

  But the data is great, so you better wait until it’s ready.

• Alexa.com – I, personally, like this one because of the simplicity. The more traffic you get, the more accurate data will be available.

Who Are My Visitors?

In the very beginning I thought, that my potential visitors are young webmasters and bloggers. I mostly imagined them as young men (male, 20-25 years old). But I was so wrong…

Here’s what Alexa says about my traffic demographics:

This means, that my readers are mostly 35+ years old.

Can you now imagine my shock? I’m only 22 years old and I’m, actually, teaching those, who are twice older, than me. This information has crucially changed my blogging way and standpoints.

This is why I have been thinking of my blog improvements for so long! This is why I have done the following changes…

5 Blog Improvements After Reading the Information About My Traffic Demographics

Blog Structure

1. I have replaced «10 Facts about iWoodpecker» with «Featured Post», because most of the bloggers are mostly used to «About» pages, rather than creativity like that :)

   Besides, «Featured Post» on the home page can give some general sense of the blog’s niche for newcomers and can help to promote that particular post.

2. I have changed the general look of the home page and the blog itself to make it look like a blog. Because I’m, actually, speaking in my posts with other bloggers. And they are used to sites that look like blogs. Otherwise, I can lose those potential visitors.

Sidebar

1. The phrase «Subscribe» changed to «Free Updates». There is one certain reason – it sounds more friendly.

2. Now I run a poll, which should give me a sense of my audience’s likes and dislikes. It’s not working now as good as I wish, but I believe this is a matter of time and the amount of traffic.

3. I have uninstalled several widgets from my sidebar, which were taking too much room. I have left only those ones, that relate to the content. Well.. it’s not 100% like that, but the general view of the sidebar is now much more better. Cleaner and more useful.

4. I’m still thinking of adding a list of my blog’s categories… But there are still some doubts whether it’s needed or not.

Post Page

1. I have removed a lot of social media buttons from my posts. And I still can’t get enough. I think it’s some kind of a rocket-science… I mean the playing with the number of social media buttons. At least.. the less the best.

2. Completely changed the design of «related posts», «categories» and «tags» parts, that come after the main content on the post pages. There is only one purpose – to make it look cleaner and more attractive.

3. I have moved «trackbacks» to the right side of the comments section. The reason is to encourage bloggers to link to my posts, which gives them in return some decent amount of web traffic and the guarantee, that their trackbacks will be visible enough.

4. I have also added gravatars and improved the comment form to encourage bloggers to leave comments. Not sure if it’s working, but I like the way it looks now :)

5. I have also changed some instructional phrases for commenters. Deleted the phrase: comments are moderated.

   Who, actually, thinks today, that comments on blogs are not moderated? So on and so forth.

Page Load Time

1. Removed SexyBookmarks.

2. Removed a lot of Ads by Google. Though I’m still playing with them. The only thing I have figured out for sure is that I don’t get clicks on image ads at all.

3. Removed a lot of tracking scripts including «MyBlogLog».

4. I have made my main CSS file cleaner. Though I should also think about plugins’ CSS files, which also should be improved.

5. I have also removed ~14 plugins (9 were inactive). I have deleted even my «contact form» plugin, because it was not needed at all, though its CSS and Script files loaded on each page.

Video Desserts

There are several reasons.

I know only one blogger, that also includes video desserts, though this is a great idea to improve visitors’ time one site and bounce rate.

And according to my traffic demographics I choose which videos to add.

***

Video Dessert: «Chat Roulette: Funny Piano Improv #1»

This site was a real discovery for me yesterday. And here’s Ben – the pianist freestyling in real-time with random strangers.

This time it will be an experimental post, because it is, actually, a simple blog comment on 3 Resons Why Blog Commenting Is Important by Alex from howtospoter.com.

The reason why I’m publishing the comment on my blog is that it was considered a spam by Alex’s spam-proof system :) This must be some mistake.. But I find this case a very good idea for this post.

Besides, my readers know that I speak about web traffic and web promotion. Excellent promotion demands risks and unusual attempts to do something new, where you’ll be the first one… Isn’t this case a good and unusual way of web promotion? :)

My Spammed Comment on Alex’s Blog

Make sure you have read Alex’s post before reading the following comment:

Alex has already reported via Twitter that it really could be his spam filter issue.

Video Dessert: «Laughing Baby»

Do you enjoy ripping newspaper like this little baby? :) I couldn’t stand his laughter – very relaxing video.

This is already the 2nd roundup of the MIC competition. And I’m glad to announce the winners…

Pay your attention, that I have written all the counted votes separately. It shows how many votes you got per certain posts.

Winners of MIC in February, 2010

1. Ileane – 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1

   She won again! I guess, that until I run this contest, her banner will be shining on my blog :)

   Ileane, I have already reviewed you once :) What if this time you would have written some special guest post for me instead of a review?

2. Kiesha – 2, 2

   Kiesha is a great discovery this time! She is beautiful, thankful, kind and very smart blogger :) Looking for more of your comments, Kiesha!

3. Imran Yousaf – 3

   Imran has commented only once on my blog, but he got 3 votes for it. And though there are other commenters having a total of 3 votes, I decided, that Imran deserves to take the 3rd place, because of the ratio (made comments/votes for comments).

Other great participants, commenters and excellent bloggers

Commenters, who got also 3 votes:

• ppo – 1, 1, 1
• element321 – 1, 1, 1
• Tom – 1, 2

Commenters, who got 2 votes:

• Thebondgurl – 2
• Hesham – 1, 1

Commenters, who got 1 vote:

• Ari Herzog – 1
• Arun Basil Lal – 1
• chandan – 1
• Dragon Blogger – 1
• Fazreen – 1
• James M. – 1
• Jeffrey – 1
• Jimi Jones – 1
• Henri Junttila – 1
• Keith – 1
• Kissie – 1
• Lee Ka Hoong – 1
• Marko – 1
• Ralf – 1
• Rose – 1
• Selurus – 1
• Shirley – 1
• Simon – 1
• tech money – 1
• Tycoon Blogger – 1

Special attention to her:

jess – 1

She left one nice comment, but not included her website.. Too sad, isn’t it?

Vote for each other

I know that for most of you this contest means nothing and you don’t take it seriously. But is that too hard to vote for good comments? You, actually, express your opinion this way, and it makes other people pay attention at good and helpful comments. And what I also believe in is that all made good things.. even the smallest ones.. somehow, somewhere will come back to you, just like a boomerang.

Video Dessert: «Dramatic Lemur»

A very relative video dessert this time:) This lemur is amazed by the winners, you can see it in his eyes!

Warning: This post was made just to make you laugh a little :)

I’ve been thinking a lot on this problem…Thousands of experts that create blogs, where they blog about blogging tips, SEO etc. Most of these experts are ready to help you.

Well.. you read them in order to learn. After awhile you’re making a blog and you also blog about blogging tips and SEO and you try to help other bloggers to make their own blogs. You know it, right? Well.. there’s nothing bad, except it makes some problems.

Will review them in a second… OK, ready.

Why it’s not a good idea?

1. #1 reason is that your audience is other bloggers. They are used to avoid your ads;
2. The niche about blogging is too busy by today. And I believe, that it’s getting more busy each day;
3. There is a critical lack of topics to talk about, because most of them are mainly discussed.

How to improve?

1. Be the one, who needs help, even if you don’t;
2. To attract beginners, camouflage the facts, that you are a beginner*;
3. Make your blog “do follow” and enable CommentLuv (blah-blah-blah);
4. Comment like a psycho;

* How to camouflage the signs, that you are a beginner?

1. Don’t show the number of your subscribers;
2. Grow the number of your Twitter followers with any kind of followers. Try to grow it each day for max;
3. Make your posts dates old. It should show, that you’re blogging for a long time**;
4. Make an image with a big number of your subscribers. I’ve seen the example somewhere… I don’t remember the blog. Anyways, it looks impressive, though if you’re an advanced blogger, you might close a site like this;

** The problem here is that you won’t be able to hide the number of your retweets, rediggs etc.

What traffic to attract?

1. Attract web traffic from young blogs (Commenting, right.);
2. Comment on blogs, that relate to niches like travelling, design, games, sports, personal, life;
3. Personal and life niches are the best ones to comment;

Any pluses of a blog about blogging?

• You’ll have a lot of comments from other bloggers blogging about blogging, because most of them believe, that they should comment on other blogs, that relate to their niche :);
• You’ll get a lot of “positive” comments, because your audience is other bloggers. They are used to read this kind of info and they are used to comment the same way on this kind of blogs:);
• Be ready to hear tons of THANK YOU’s, that are given to you only because you have a do follow blog with CommentLuv.

Alright! At last! 4 full days or about 36 hours of searching and filtering and now it’s done. Simply insane list of 140 do follow and nollow blogs. Moreover, I’ve sorted all of them out. Now you are able to pick those, which are better.

How are they sorted?
By Google pagerank, Alexa ranking, and this time I’ve added some notes, that will help you to search those blogs, that relate to your niche.

How this list supposed to help you?
You can get lots of external links from other blogs to your site. The only thing you have to do is to leave good comments. Don’t spam :) It is useless and pointless.

What is CommentLuv?
This is a wordpress plugin, that adds a link to the latest post of the comment’s author. More about CommentLuv.

Why is this list so perfect?
Well.. First of all, it’s compiled from about 900 websites. I’ve found them on the first 15 pages of Google search with the following phrase – cumment luv dofollow. I’ve looked for all the most valuable lists.
It was really hard, because almost all of the provided links were dead. But.. a little bit of patience and everything’s done now :)

About notes
As you can see, I’ve added some notes, but not to every listed blog. Why is that? That is because those blogs, that don’t have any note, relate to my niche and I will, probably, use for commenting.

Why notes are so short?
I save your time :) It would be better for SEO to make several-lines-notes, but that wouldn’t look compact.

What’s my niche?
Look under my logo above :) It says “Speaking about website traffic & promotion”. Well.. Of course it’s not so easy to fit my niche for so many blogs. But I’m going to use also “make money online”, “tech”, “blogging tips” and “internet marketing” blogs for commenting. Rather close, isn’t it? Anyway, I think it’s my targeted traffic :)

Why 2010 again?
Because these dofollow and nofollow blogs will, probably, work in 2010, as most of them do now. Anyways, this list will be updated after each Google PageRank update.

How to treat “+”, “-”, “?” in the scheme?
Example 1: “example.com – (-;-) – 5 – 201,471 – rare”. From this example you can see that michaeltorbert.com author’s link in comment is “nofollow” and the CommentLuv’s link is also “nofollow”. Google pagerank is 5 and Alexa ranking is 201,471. The note says, that this blog publishes new posts rarely.
Example 2: “example2.com – (+;-) – 3 – 1,305,531 – tech, writing, very rare”. From this example you can see that inkthinkerblog.com author’s link in comment is “do follow”, but CommentLuv’s link is “nofollow”. The note says, that the current blog relates to the niche about technologies and writing. “Very rare” means, that the author of this blog publishes new posts extremely rare >.<, so there won't be much work with commenting on this blog.

Example 3: “example3.com – (+;?) – 3 – 25,578 – fast growth”. From this example you can see that example3.com author’s link in comment is “do follow”, but CommentLuv’s link is whether dofollow or nofollow and there’s no exact explanation why it’s not exact. Contact that blog’s author for more details. The note says, that this blog has very fast promotion. You better stick to what’s going on it.

So.. I hope I’ve answered most of the possible questions.

Scheme of the list: “URL – (+/-/?;+/-/?) – Google pagerank – Alexa ranking – Note”
