12 indicators to measure the success of your blog
Having your blog traffic only means that the SEO of your blog is working. However, SEO is not the only solution to our problems. We must choose the indicators that reflect both the activity and the attention from visitors to our blog. To this end, we made a list of 12 indicators that can help us measure the success of our blog.
Comments / views: it reflects that you are capable of provoking a reaction from the reader. The reaction may be negative but I honestly prefer it because it gives you the ability to communicate when you criticize.
Number of Retweets: The posts soil released through my Twitter account. If I get many retweets is that people think it’s something interesting and share it with your followers.
New followers on Twitter: The more retweets receives an input, but new fans often come to follow me on my Twitter account.
Clicks / signed: limiting the indicator only in the number of subscribers shows you if you’ve got many subscribers because the RSS button has a striking design. Just the people they care about your company and its activities make clicks. A good relationship demonstrates your ability to turn your subscribers.
Page Views / User: A blog is normally have an average of 2 page views per user. The average is usually well below the average of a website or portal through the structure. If you have a blog, you usually get at least a ratio of 2. Apart from the quality of your content, usability is the key factor to improve the relationship.
New subscribers: An increase in the number of subscribers means that the person who has come to read the post in the future confident that I can also bring you new posts that will add value in the form of advice, different views, ideas, etc..
Trackbacks: Trackbacks demonstrate directly links you have received an entry in your blog. Again, this shows if you are able to generate attention in the blogosphere and if they perceive you as someone important. At first it is difficult to get many links (= trackbacks) because few people your blog.
Home to add: The most successful posts came to be distributed through new channels like blogs blogs aggregator or Digg.
Requests for republication: If a post is good or not is also shown if the reference sites (in my case I have two republics and one of Hosteltur Baquia) or other request permission to republish your entry.
Related posts in blogs: I’m always glad when I see one of my post has inspired other bloggers to do an article detailing the issues relating to or treated.
Mentions lists of posts of the week: The creation of lists of posts of the week, apart from being a good strategy is to retain your readers give you a positive reputation to blogs listed especially if the blog is that it creates reference list .
Unauthorized copies: Soil often also have unauthorized republishing. While mention is made of the original source by placing a link seems ok but I prefer to be consulted.

Councils for promocionar the contents of his web
Encourage to have a blog can seem a simple project but the true is that his creation can cause more than a quebradero of head. If give him form is difficult, do that it was supported by life is still more complicated. Although they exist some strategies to attain that it succeed.
The key to do that a blog despegue is in promocionar the contents, put his ideas in front of the people and do that enamoren of what write and want to go back to by more. And although this is easier to say that to do, there is a series of ideas with which can begin:
1. It was useful: the information is well, but if it achieves that his information was of utility, is much better. It offer to his readers something that can use to resolve a problem that concern them.
2. It was frequent: it has to publish a montón, sobretodo during the first days. Although no all his publications are incredible, at least one of each five has to be important. And it is that if to the people likes him what has to say, will want to have more things that consult, give it.
3. It do that the people speak: the mouth to mouth is crucial in the first days of a blog. It speak on his new creation to any one that listen him and achieve that they speak also. It find to those to which likes them and consigua that defend his cause. And, of course, it do not forget to his mother.
4. Loan attention to his sources of traffic: this is the form to know how is working. Forget all the comments on how promocionar his contents and alive by and for the numbers.
5. It forget the exceptional relations: no apegue to other blogs that work in his same area of interest or influence. Instead, it think in complementary sectors and work together, since they will not be competing.
6. It do not do excessive bets: if it centres only in the acquisition of traffic through the CATHEDRAL, his contents will be horrible. If it combines Twitter and Facebook, will have to expect an eternity to see results and if it uses the public relations, will have to expect still more. So do it everything: it was active in the social networks while promociona his contents in other blogs and writes headlines for CATHEDRAL.
7. Tire: if it has a blog, do not sleep. It do that the blogging was a religion, his reason to be, and is that there is not at all that it can substitute to the hard work to do that the things work.
