5 Ways to Make Your Content Popular

Content is the most crucial component for a website, or for that matter, any advertising or marketing tool. However, very few people realize the necessity to popularize their content, thereby generating lesser volumes of traffic to their websites. With the arrival of search engines, businesses have realized that popularizing their website content would ultimately lead to greater profits. However, writing page after page of worthy content sans any effort to popularize it would result in a big zero. If you intend to have your content read beyond the circle of your friends and family, you need to devise methods to get yourself noticed. Below are the five most proven ways to achieve the same:

Focus on quality: For making your content widely popular, you must post topics covering common interests. Make your content unique and never go cliché with it. There are thousands of sites and blogs available where you can post your content. So, you need to post interesting content, which can attract a vast cross-section of people. Remember - “content is the king”. Even if you own the most attractive site, people would never revisit it, if the content fails to engage them.

Increase the number of backlinks: The more backlinks your content boasts of, the better its rank becomes. Put your content URL in your forum and email signatures and newsletters. You can also request link exchanges with blog or website owners who write on similar topics. This would not only elevate your status in the search engine, but would also increase your content’s visibility. More people would thus be able to access your content.

Make search engines notice you: The best way to make people take note of your content is by making a search engine notice your content. However, once your content becomes popular, you need not worry about this step as people would then automatically track you. Whenever you submit fresh content, ping it. This enables key search engines to know that fresh content has been posted. You may also bookmark your contents in social networking sites as URLs of these sites are easily located by search engines. You should also optimize your content by including the relevant keywords.

Use RSS feeds: Include the RSS feed button against your content. This way, it would be easier for your visitors to read it. It would also help your readers keep track of fresh matter whenever you publish it, even if they are unable to visit your webpage.

Build personal relationship with readers: A major reason why people are unsuccessful in popularizing their content lies in their failure to build relationships with readers. Many websites attract hordes of visitors but remain unpopular. So, you should pay attention to your readers. Ask them for feedback. Request them to post comments. Respond to them with honor. Answer their queries and if unable, redirect them to other resources.

More and more people are waking up to the need of popularizing their web content. All said and done, you earn no brownie points if your content is lost in the melee of thousands of writers jostling to get attention. So, do it the right way to get people interested in and enticed to your content.
