Blogging Tips – How to Wake Up a Comatose Blog In 3 Steps
Is your blog not getting enough readers?
Is your blog lacking traffic and comments?
Is your blog income suffering?
If you answered YES to at least one of these questions, then it means your blog is in coma, and you probably don’t even realize it. But guess what. It’s not your fault. The 3 steps I’m about to reveal to you will get your blog up and running fast.
Just try these blogging tips; I promise good things will happen:
- Visitors cruising through your blog like never before
- Readers “worshipping” you like an idol
- Blog income increasing naturally like rising sun.
Here’s what you need to do next [I share 3 blogging tips for beginners that even pro bloggers could use]
Before we dig into the nitty gritty I need to mention something up front – a blog with 70% ads and 30% content is a dead blog anyway. The sad part is that these type of blogs can’t be resuscitated, unless you shift the strategy: publish 70% content and showcase 30% [or less] ads.
Step #1. Attract Comments Like a Magnet
If you want more comments on your post, you need to express it. Less than 1% of your readers will actually feel self-motivated to comment, unless you bribe them with something special or give them a reason to act now [we are lazy by nature, and sometimes you have to "lead" readers in the direction you want].

Step #2. Jolt Your Page Rank
There’s no secret about it. A high page rank is a sign of popular, high-traffic blog.
Did you know this? Google loves giving link juice [which adds up to the page rank]. But you need to “deserve” it and play by the rules. Black-hat SEO tactics would be no sense. Suicide for a long-term “sticky” blog.
Despite what most people think, a dying blog could easily bump its page rank from 0 to 2 or even more. You might want to hear how Marko @ HowtoMakeMyBlog did it
“How I got my blog from Google PageRank 0 to PR4 in two months”
Step #3. Increase Blog Traffic
What is the reason to blog when nobody hears you? You got to have readers. More traffic usually equals more eye balls glueing to your content, which leads to more cash in your pocket.
If you get people’s attention you’re one step away from getting in their wallet, legally and ethically.

There you have it. 3 steps to wake up a comatose blog. Income comes naturally. No tricks involved.
It’s your turn to comment now.
Is your blog in coma or doing good? How are you going to resuscitate it?
P.S. Stay tuned for the next post. I talk about “getting readers that stick”. Join the list to get free blog updates!
I have found that it is actually quite had to wake a sleeping blog because there is still a stigma on it. That is why I recommend that if you are serious about a blog, don’t go for a prolonged period of time without updating – otherwise the traffic will leave and it will take a lot of effort to get them back.
Looking forward to seeing what my first pagerank will be!

comatose blogs need to quickly get resuscitated with content and promotion, otherwise they’ll die

Submitting my blog posts to top social networking sites through Onlywire made a lot of difference to my blog traffic. It’s just one button click after you register with all the top sites.

I would like to see someone define “low” traffic. I just got my blog up the day after Christmas and I have had over 2000 unique visitors. Would that be considered low? I would love to see more traffic but I have seen a steady growth week to week and I would have to say the way that I did it was through article submissions.
I would appreciate feedback on 2000 unique visitors in just under 2 months.
Thanks
As always Codrut. Your posts are helpful.

it depends. I say 50 visitors a day is low, 500 a day would be high

Those are some great tips and I absolutely agree with them.

hey Carl, good comment, although it looks like you're just trying to regurgitate what I've just told.
why aren't you using your name in the "name field" and put more time/focus into writing genuine comments?

I agree with sandy, posting on top social networking sites really attracts allot of unique visitors, plus the search engines love these sites, which in return can often increase your page rank.
I have'nt tried onlywire, I use socialmarker.com.
