Blog Updates: 3 Touch Ups To Boost Readership


For the past couple of weeks, FinancialJungle.com has been stuck at around 40+hits and 30 RSS feed readers. To increase traffics to the blog, I’ve implemented the following enhancements:

  1. Migrated permalinks to display the post titles instead of the post ids. According to some experts, search engines incorporate the URLs into their indexing.
  2. Made the RSS Feed icon larger, and placed it within the blob near the upper right corner of this blog.
  3. Installed the autometa Wordpress plug-in to insert meta and Technorati tags, so surfers can find this blog easier.

Hopefully I will see a difference within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, please feel free to drop me a comment if you have any other suggestions.

Hi Financial Jungle Dude,

Increasing readership takes time so be patient. The changes you’ve made are good steps forward, however. I suspect that your readership will increase quickest through word of mouth, so keep up with the quality blogs! You might also consider adding some unique features to the blog, like occasionally sharing dating advice or featuring photos of random “jungle” women. Just a thought :) Great site!

Haha. I was wondering if I knew this Tony.

Thanks for the tips. I’m slowly getting the words out to my friends, and some of them are passing this along to other friends too.

I’m not sure about “jungle” women :D , however I do like taking pictures of anything, so maybe I’ll post some Flickr photos.
