Blogging is one of the most effective ways to generate perpetual traffic and ensure your business growth with least effort. But the effect of blogging can be multiplied effortlessly by simply including Twitter into the equation and free.

Simple formula that is not only guaranteed to work but also fully tested by me and here are the steps to get it done:

1. Auto Submit Your Blog Posts to Twitter and multiple other social networks - Be sure you only do it to networks that you actively participate in and contribute other valuable content to avoid a “spammer” label.

Beauty part is that you have many options to implement this process. Since I use WordPress I can highly recommend “pingpressfm” plugin that interfaces with ping.fm service and allow you to integrate Auto-Tweets and so much more.

That gives you a start but don’t just stop there…

2. Don’t Let the Auto-Tweet Die - Consistency and persistency pays of in hips as we all know it and importance of the follow up should not be overlooked. Once you have post published on Twitter be sure to interact with your followers, ask their opinion and ask for feedback on your new post.

People love to give feedback and share their options and by simply asking them to provide their honest opinion you begin to generate the waves of people who like the fact that they were asked. Now you have a stream of people coming to your blog and reading your new post with intent to interact.

People are already willing and ready and your next step is to simply…

3. Ask your followers to “Re-Tweet” Your Post - You already managed to capture their interest and it is only next logical step but you have to ask for it and lead to it. Being social it is very natural for us to return the favor to a person who expressed genuine interest in our opinion and you will discover that your request will fall on willing crowd.

But all the step above will only bring you traffic, how do you ensure the business growth?

4. Collect Your Visitors Contact Information - One step overlooked by so many bloggers that leads to their eventual demise and failure. We are all suffering from information overload and unless you have a way to contact people who showed interest in your content, chance are great you will never see them again.

Don’t be shy to offer something of value to your visitors in exchange for subscription. Email marketing for bloggers has nothing to do with spamming as long as you do it right and it will ensure not only Perpetual Traffic but also your Business Growth.

It is no secret that blogs are great for helping you increase your SEO rankings. If you did not know this you do now. You can use wordpress, blogspot, to create a blog, post data frequently and the search engines will follow this by indexing and following the data you post on your blog.

Most blogs are for personal use, i.e. sharing information, talking about your experiences, or maybe promoting your own service. One important element of blogs is SEO and marketing. This is because blogs get frequently updated (daily or maybe even twice a day), and usually speaking the data is fresh and unique so search engines put high weight on blogs that are focused, relevant, get updated regularly, stay on topic and have a good navigational structure.

It is the freshness of the content that the search engines seek, and as blogs are updated frequently search engine bots will come looking and therefore will frequently visit your blog. This is turn can be used to your advantage so that you can link to other sites, or use any deep links, that you need to get noticed by the crawlers or search engine bots. Most blogs do not contain direct links, however you could always format your blog so that it does contain permanent links if required. This can then help with increasing your SEO score for your site.

A very common mistake made by novice bloggers is that they will spend a lot of money advertising their blog, but they have actually not made a useful, informative post or article. The aim for bloggers should be to add content regularly and than start advertising, spending money on advertising, and ensure on undertaking SEO activities.

Another mistake novice bloggers make is that they do not optimise their blogs for SEO. For e.g. the title can be optimised for SEO so that it grabs the readers attention as well as increasing your traffic to your blog. However many bloggers do not do this.

Finally do ensure that whilst bloging, you are also optimising your blog, by undertaking effective SEO techniques.
