What is a blog review and why would it get more traffic to your website? A blog review is an in-depth analysis of a blog covering everything from layout to whether it achieves your stated purpose. After you have poured your heart and soul into creating your blog, sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes to point out some things, that if tweaked, could double your traffic overnight!
One of the highlights of my trip to the Niche Affiliate Marketing System workshop (NAMS) in Atlanta last month was meeting Denise Wakeman, founder of the Blog Squad and a genuine blog expert. She also consults with businesses and individuals on building their online brand and visibility.
I’ve discussed several times how important it is to get your web visitors to Know, Like & Trust you. Building an online brand through a blog and other social media outlets is critical to the KLT factor.
During the NAMS conference, Denise chose 3 lucky attendees from about 50 volunteers to perform a review of their blog in a workshop format. She went through a fairly in depth review for the attendees and the volunteer pointing out ways that they could improve their blog, thus getting more traffic and ultimately more sales. This was one of the more popular sessions of the entire conference.
I decided during the conference that I absolutely needed to have Denise review a blog of an author friend of mine that I have been helping with her website as well as getting her books published.
Last week Denise spent a full 75 minutes in a webinar format (so it could be recorded as a video) combing through every aspect of Cindy Bradford’s blog. I was totally in awe of not only the thoroughness of the review but also the explanations of why certain things should be changed in her opinion. They all made so much sense. You know how sometimes you just don’t see something right in front of your face until someone points it out to you? And I’m so glad that I parked my pride at the door and listened with an open mind.
I immediately started making the changes that I had noted during the webinar and am anxious to go back and listen to the recording again to pick up on other suggestions. In fact, I will probably need to replay it several times. And I’m thrilled to report that traffic has already almost doubled on a daily basis!
If you’ve got your blog up and running and doing the typical traffic getting techniques like SEO, backlinking, article marketing, etc., I highly recommend that you budget a comprehensive blog review by Denise Wakeman. It was absolutely a valuable investment for me and I’m certain it will be for you too.
Here are a few other resources Denise has to offer:
