A Powerful WordPress Plugin For Increasing Your Traffic

Posted to Building Blog Traffic

I keep coming across more and more fantastic free plugins for WordPress (yet another reason to make the switch to the WordPress Blogging Platform). This plugin is a particularly handy one to help visitors who come to your blog from a search engine such as Google find the answers they are looking for, and thus spend more time at your blog.

Download Plugin: Landing Sites

When a person does a web search and one of your blog’s articles show up in the results it may not exactly match the topic they are searching for, however some of your other blog posts might. This plugin, called “Landing Sites”, allows you to include a short welcome message and links to more of your blog articles whenever a visitor clicks through from a search engine.

Confused? Okay, here is an example. Click this link - Niche Content Sites - and you will be taken to the Google search results for that phrase. On the page should be a link to my site - www.entrepreneurs-journey.com. Click the link within the Google results and you will be taken to my site but just before the article you will see a welcome message with links to more articles within my blog.

The welcome message is only generated when someone clicks through from search engines. So far I’ve tested it and it seems to work for all the big search engines except for Yahoo. MSN Search, Google and Ask.com all worked fine.

Your blog may or may not have good search engine rankings yet but regardless this plugin is a must have because it helps convert search visitors into retained readers. Search visitors usually have very specific questions and a VERY short attention span. The more you can do to provide potential answers to their questions and keep them on your site, the better your chance of establishing some form of relationship with them, once they start to see the value your blog represents.

Installing the plugin is easy - just upload and activate. Then you will need to copy some code into your blog template files. This is the trickier part and if you are not used to playing with your blog’s theme files be careful, maybe ask someone with HTML skills to help you.

Blog Traffic School Recommended Plugins

In Blog Traffic School I’ve included a list of every plugin I use on my blogs to improve my traffic. There are a handful of really powerful plugins, like this landing site one I just covered, that can have a dramatic impact on your traffic yet take only two seconds to install. The beauty of plugins is that they are free and automatic. Once you set them up they perform functions that are dynamic and powerful.

Blog Traffic School is coming very, very soon…
