How to get Loyal Visitors and Viewers to your blog or website?

A blog or websites true popularity is proven by the number of Loyal Visitors who check out each and every Post you put, or article that you write.They return many times to check out the new stuff on your website, They interact with you and the other Visitors of your blog.If you ask me, I would say these type of visitors are the best type of visitors to have.I am lucky to have so many loyal readers for this blog.I hope that number will increase in the future.

So first of all, to get Loyal readers to your Blog or website, you need to make sure you put up regularly consistent quality content that people will be interested in reading.

You need to make the visitors your friends, You need to treat each individual differently, reply to their questions and Comments in a unique way and thank them for sharing their views.

You need to use some humor to make them feel comfortable in your blog or website, make silly jokes about whatever you are writing about and get them laughing, they will remember your Website or Blog.

Have a gossip or Interaction section (Which I have in my other blog, yet to set up here), This will ensure some spontaneousness about your blog and they would return just for that Gossip or Interaction Space of your Blog or website.

Share your personal life, at least to an extent, If you see my blog, I have many posts about my life, my experiences as well as photos of all my Pet Birds. People have given me good reviews about my birds,They actually love those cute little things, all furry.

Ask for their stories and Personal experiences, This makes them feel wanted and people like places where they are wanted.They will surely return.

So I hope this Blog post helped you budding Bloggers and website owners.I wish I knew these stuff when I started Blogging.

Blogger own custom domain advantages and disadvantages

Blogger is a free service provided by Google.It gives the option for users to use a sub domain, like mysite.blogspot.com, or to buy a custom domain such as www.mysite.com, Google Blogger also provides any time switch between sub domain blogspot to your own domain name.But once this is done there is no turning back to sub domain.
So is it worth to have your own blogger custom domain?
Advantages
1)Blogger domains have unlimited bandwidth, its better to go with blogger domain than any other hosting service.
2)Blogger domain also comes with free hosting, so you only need to pay for your domain and no need to pay for hosting.
3)Your own blogger domain can also look more professional if you are running a business.People tend to trust domain more than sub domains.
4)You will have more options with design and other features.
5)You can also sell your own domain to someone but you cannot sell a sub domain.
6)Private advertisers are more willing to pay for ads on own custom domains.

Disadvantages
1)There is no need for hobby bloggers and small time money makers to shift to own custom domain.
2)Not too much difference in features between own custom domain and blogger domain.
3)Many people are making a good deal of money without own custom domain.
4)You will have to pay for your domain, with a sub domain, you do not need to.

Blogger Blog Bandwidth limit-How many visitors at a time?

Blogger Blogs are run by Google, which probably everyone knows, at least everyone who uses blogger knows.
Hence we can expect a high quality from Blogger, we can expect high quality from anything that Google gets involved in.
Blogger is a free hosting service from Google but it has UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH, that means it can be online without any problem, even if you have over a million visitors at once on your blogger blog.
So do not worry about Bandwidth of Blogger Blogs.What you do need to worry about is the space for the images that you upload, up to 1GB it is free.
After that you need to pay for image hosting from Picasa web albums which have tied up with Google.
After crossing the limit,

10GB for 20-25$ a year
40GB for 75-80$ a year
150GB for 250-260$ a year
400GB for 500-510$ a year
Not 100% sure of prices

And also when you have a lot of images, and you get hundreds of thousands of visitors at once, the blog may not work properly as image hosting is not Bandwidth free.
But for a free hosting service, this is really good deal from Google for its Blogger blog users.
This is the big advantage of Blogger, even some paid services which charge a lot for hosting do not give you unlimited bandwidth, also they may have server downtime, during which your website would not work, but Blogger has no server downtime as well.

This unlimited bandwidth is applicable to standard blogger templates, which you get the options of in Template designer.If you are using custom templates then you may experience lags and slow loading time during large surges of traffic.

It is easier for SEO in Blogger Blogs than websites.

This is one major advantage of Google's Blogger Blogs, the main thing about blogger is that it is easier for search engine optimization, the title you put for each blog will be the keywords, which when some one types into the search engine, your blog post will be seen.
For each post in Blogger Blogs you will find that keywords from some other post also get included in Google search engine.
For example, for my blog if you type Famous Birds of Sri Lanka, you will get to see my post " Famous Birds of India" third in Google search.Now I'll tell you that my post on Indian Birds does not contain Sri Lanka, but in a few other post I used Sri Lanka, hence even that showed up.I do not know how exactly to explain this as I do not have a term for this.

Also your photos that you put up to your Blogger Blog, are directly sent to your account in Picasa Web Albums and get indexed very fast, so people will be able to visit your Blog when they are searching for relevant images.

Also be reminded that you do not need to add Keywords Meta Tag, all you need to do is Put the Description Meta Tag for your Blog.

Now Google also Indexes Blogger Blogs very fast if you keep posting daily, which is very good for full time bloggers.
All these stuff you just cannot do in website SEO, so blogger blogs are better!
