There are many ways to get traffic to your blog. One of the ways I found it effective is to install a Facebook Plugin known as FbLikeButton.

It will display the Like symbol at your blog. You can configure to place it at the top and/or at the bottom of your posting. As for me, I configure for both locations.

If you click on the Like symbol, it will try to detect your Facebook name.

Once it detected it, it will display your Facebook name at the blog.

If you go to your own facebook’s wall(eg http://www.facebook.com/alwinchuah), it will display the blog title and the blog site link.

However I notice it will post the article link to your facebook wall only once. Even though you click a few times on Like symbol or a few days later you try to click the Like symbol on the same article. However if you click Like symbol on a new article from the same blog site, it will publish it on your Facebook’s wall.

Basically what is posted on the Facebook’s wall can be seen by your friends. If they are interested on the topic, they will click on the title. It will then lead them to the blog page.

Increase Traffic

So the best way is once you have posted your article on your blog, click on the Like symbol yourself. It will then display your blog title and link at your Facebook’s wall. Your Facebook’s friends will then be able to click on the link and visit your blog. If they like it, they will click on the Like button, your blog article title will then be displayed in your friends’ Facebook’s wall. If your friend’s friends.click on the title, it will lead them your blog. This is how you get traffic from Facebook.

Download Plugin

You can download the plugin at

1. Unzip the fblikebutton.zip in your PC.

By writing blog content using the secondary keywords recommended by Google, there is a high chance your blog ranking will be boosted.

Do you know about half of the world population do not understand English at all?

This meant, if we write our blog in English, only half the world population can understand what we write. The other half will not understand at all.

Therefore in order to increase readers to our blog, we need to have a plugin that can translate English language to other languages. This way we can allow more people to enjoy what we have written, ahem.

I search in the Wordpress plugin and found the Global translator is the most popular plugin.

Following is the screenshot your blog reader will see and by clicking the selected flag, the blog information will be converted to that country’s language.

Key features of Global Translator plugin:-

•    It can translate 41 different languages

•    It support 4 different Translation Engines:

from Google Translation Engine, Babel Fish, Promt & FreeTranslations.com

•    Search Engine Optimized:

It uses the permalinks by adding the language code at the beginning of all your URI. For example the english version on www.domain.com/mycategory/mypost will be automatically transformed in www.domain.com/en/mycategory/mypost

•    Fully configurable layout:

You can easily customize the appearance of the translation bar by choosing between a TABLE, DIV or IMAGE MAP based layout for the flags bar and by selecting the number of translations to make available to your visitors

Plugin Download

You can download the plugin here at http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/

Steps to install & configure

Download the Plugin into your PC.

Unzip it and upload to your blog’s plugin folder.

Go to your blog’s plugin and activate it.

Click on Settings->Global Translator

The configuration screen appears. You may follow the guide on the screen and configure accordingly. If you not sure, use default settings.

I hope you like this article

As you add more & more articles, pictures, links to your blog or you have quite a lot of visitors to your blog, you will notice that it takes longer time to fully load all the items. Well, depending on the visitors bandwidth speed. For those that are using a slower speed bandwidth, it will take a while for your visitor to start reading the blog. Blog readers are an impatient lot. They will not wait if it takes longer than usual to fully load.

Therefore if you want to maintain goodwill with your visitors, you need to improve the access time, your visitor can start to view your blog.

That’s where WP Super Cache comes in.

This is how it works:-

In laymen term

- This plugin makes your site download much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests.

In technical term

-WP Super Cache is a static caching plugin for WordPress. It generates html files that are served directly by Apache without processing comparatively heavy PHP scripts. By using this plugin you will speed up your WordPress blog significantly.

When WP Super Cache is installed, html files are generated and they are served without ever invoking a single line of PHP. How fast can your site serve graphic files? That’s (almost) as fast it will be able to serve these cached files. If your site is struggling to cope with the daily number of visitors, then this plugin is for you.

You can get it at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/

You just need to download the files, unzip it and upload to your blog’s plugin folder.
Then you activate the plugin.

Go to Settings -> WP Super Cache

Tick on the “On WP cache and Super Cache enabled” & other items that are helpful for your blog. Just follow the instructions on the screen

I find that it improve my blog download speed. It works well with Internet Explorer & Firefox.
Cheers
