That is what sets aside great blogs from not so great blogs.
Have you ever typed a great article and think by yourself millions of people will love this? Well they probably will, its just if you dont allready have those visitors the content is going no where.
Now I am not talking about social marketing etc and all that stuff. I am just talking about posting something and getting a reaction from it.
The reason most blogs succeed is because they create the search engine content and then when they get visitors they use that traffic to boost their new articles. Sounds obvious. Let me explain.
If you get 1000 visitors a month from search engines. Probably 10 at least of those are people that bookmark and share interesting stuff. Might even be less.
Now if you get 10 000 visitors a month from search engines the chances are that 100 people are bookmarkers and people that share.
See how having more search engine traffic can increase visitors to your site from other sources.
