Christmas is just around the corner and yetand you are wondering why your website traffic is dropping. It’s either people are leaving and going away for early holiday vacation or they’re simply losing interest in reading your blog. But for the life of you who’s addicted to blogging even if you’re blogging for a very corporate and serious blog (think: anti-virus or microbiology) , you can always create a buzz and have people visiting your website over and over again via blog contests and giveaways.
Ahh, blog contests. Better, giveaways. Since it’s that time of the year, you might as well think of coming up with a contest. You can keep your loyal readers and you can have more people linking to you since blog contents are always hyped and talked about. Oftentimes, they become too successful that your readers clamor for more.
So instead of talking about PPC Marketing or some obscure type of bacteria on your scientific blog, launch a Christmas contest instead. Or if you’re generous or simply feeling generous, you may offer a new gadget as a prize, offer free versions of your service or product, codes, or whatever.
Point is, giving stuff through your blog for free will always excite. Not only your readers will benefit from this blog breather. Other bloggers will definitely give you more “link love” this holiday season.
