How to Promote a Blog (with strategies & examples from established bloggers)

By Kaleigh Moore July 18, 2023 A lot goes into writing a valuable blog post. Hours of research. Drafting and drafting and re-drafting.  Editing, grammar checks, search engine optimization.The work piles up until the point you hit publish. Then, the worst sound in the world: Crickets.  No one’s reading your post.  What went wrong? It’s not that your blog isn’t valuable to your readers. It’s that if people can’t see that value, no amount of work is going to draw your audience. There are reportedly 600 million blogs worldwide. The moths-to-a-flame strategy doesn’t work when readers see nothing but flames everywhere they look. How do you get your blog to make noise? Here’s how to address your readers’ pain points, where to push your latest posts, and a few steps to bu...

Optimize Your Blog Post for SEO & Go From Zero Traffic to Monthly Growth

By Sean Tinney June 29, 2023 Have you ever written content for your blog and thought “this is the best content I’ve ever written?” You publish it, promote it on social media and send an email to your audience. And people seem to love it initially; but after the first day or two of attention… nothing.How can this be? The answer is pretty simple, your post was never optimized for organic search. You’re not alone. We had a blog post “Here’s How Email Color Can Impact Subscriber Behavior” that fell into this category – amazing content, no traffic. Here were sessions from Google Analytics for the past couple of years for this blog post. When I dug a little deeper, I noticed that we weren’t targeting any keywords that people actually search for.

Adobe Has Acquired You | Webdesigner Depot Webdesigner Depot » Blog Archive

There were mixed reactions on Thursday morning when Adobe announced it had acquired Figma. Excited press releases extolling the benefits of the “collaboration” followed the news. Dylan Field, founder and CEO of Figma, said: “There is a huge opportunity for us to accelerate the growth and innovation of the Figma platform with access to Adobe’s technology…” The reaction from the design community has been a little less enthusiastic. The problem for the design industry is that we’ve been here before. The acquisition of Macromedia followed a period in which Adobe tried to compete, failed to update its legacy code, lost the battle, and purchased the victor. You only need to look at the number of former Macromedia products in Adobe’s stable (zero) to see where Figma’s heading. Figma has grown fas...

5 SEO Best Practices to Increase Blog Traffic and Engagement

By Sean Tinney December 22, 2021 In order to make your blog SEO-worthy, there are 5 basic SEO best practices that you need to be following. Do you feel your website isn’t receiving enough blog traffic and engagement? Well, you’re not alone in this because Google is getting smarter every day. If your blog isn’t optimized for SEO, you might not achieve the desired results. But before we discuss the best SEO practices for your blog, here’s what makes working on it important: Daily, bloggers upload around 7.5 million posts across the globe. Only 60% of internet users actively read the content. Readers mainly go for long-form content for its in-depth information. So the ideal word count would be near 1500 – 2000 words. This year, content marketing was estimated to be an...

Facebook Goes All Meta | Webdesigner Depot Webdesigner Depot » Blog Archive

It’s almost Halloween, so we were all expecting the odd scare, but little could have prepared us for the blood-chilling horror of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ‘acting’ amazed in front of a green-screened mockup of The Metaverse, during his keynote at the company’s Connect event. Zuckerberg — or The Zuckster, as I imagine he introduces himself when arriving uninvited to your birthday drinks — was in the process of announcing that the company formally known as Facebook would from now on be known simply as Meta. Facebook, the social network, will remain Facebook, but it will be one product among many. Or, as The Zuckster clearly hopes, one among all. With the new name comes a new visual identity, one so bland that I need to go full-on Clockwork Orange just to critique it. Eyes pinned open, y...

Ghost 4.0 Released | Webdesigner Depot Webdesigner Depot » Blog Archive

We’ve been big fans of Ghost since it first launched via a Kickstarter campaign way back in 2013. Ghost 4.0 has just been released, and the host of new features is another giant leap forward for the popular blogging platform. The content management space is one of the most crowded for startups; there are traditional CMS, headless CMS, site builders, and the omnipresent WordPress, which, if current trends persist, will power 729% of the web by next Thursday. Ghost is a blog-focused CMS, as WordPress is. Unlike WordPress, it’s minimal, fast, and a pleasure to use. To survive in the competitive space, Ghost has niched-down to specializing in monetized content — charging membership for sites to bring in revenue for the site owner (Ghost doesn’t charge any commission on this income).

Does Optimizing Content for “Near Me” Work for Local SEO? Sterling Sky Blog

Posted Mar 2, 2021 by Joy Hawkins We asked this question at a LocalU Advanced event: “Does adding instances of “near me” terms onto a website increase its ranking for “near me” keywords”.  The vote was very divided with 44% of people saying no and 56% of people saying yes. We have done a ton of testing on optimizing for “near me” terms (ex: “plumber near me”) and have found that adding instances of “near you”, “nearby” and “near me” to the content of a page (including meta tags) does have a positive impact on ranking. Here is an example of a client’s homepage traffic for near me terms after we added some instances of “near me” terms to the page. Here is a ranking tracker for another client of our...

5 Tips for Building a Loyal B2B Blog Audience

I spoke a few years ago with a marketing consultant who told me that when she makes marketing plans for her clients, she rarely includes the content for a B2B blog—because it's too much work. That's a shame, because that work is where real opportunity lies. The main goal of your organization's B2B blog should be to develop a long-term relationship with your audience. In other words, you want to make them a group of believers. Generally, the more detailed a blog post is, and the more examples it has, the more believable your content is. Readers will see your thoroughness, and even if they don't read the entire post they'll be impressed by your expertise. That's the first step to building an audience that believes in you, and it's why I'm not a fan of posts shorter than 1,000...
