Never use Autoplaying Videos and Music on the your Page I just hate when I land on a page and some guy starts shouting at me to buy his product. If you use video make the video embed box small enough to fit your content wrapper as people can watch the Videos in Full Screen anyway if they wish. Music should never be on Autoplay also many surfers are up late at night and may forget about their speakers being turned on waking other people in their house’s is something you do not want to do also it will Cause the Page to Load Slowly.
There are Many Other Ways to Speed up loading Time like Turning off Image and Multimedia ads and Optimizing Java Script.

Sell a Solution in Your Blog Posts
There is a potential sale in All Visitors to your Site have some kind of problem this is why they found your site because they were looking for an answer.If you write about a solution to a problem people may have this is good for search engine traffic, But what if you could make money from that solution by selling products that give all the Answers to common problems people are search for and arrive on your site and a  paticluar product has all the answers for this problem. Finding that Product you can promote and sell to your visitors is mostly difficult but not impossible.

Case Example

Take for Example a person wants to know how to change the font size in wordpress blogs. This is something they may wish to know about editing CSS now maybe they want to know more about CSS editing and if you have a beginers guide to CSS Basics or Advanced CSS Edits and Writing you could Sell these Books to your Visitors.

Selling Sometimes Works but Not Always
In the case example I gave you these would be compleate solutions to the problem the visitor may be having allthough not all visitors want to go into advanced learning of everything they have a problem with and just need a quick and easy fix. But whenever you have written a solution on your blog why not see if there is a solution to the topic problem that can sell look through your various affiliate programs that you have joined and search for products related to the topic keyword.

Visual Impact and your Visitors

June 24, 2010 08:14 , Leave a Comment ,

Theme choice is Important for your Blog

After Reading A first impression is a lasting impression, I have thought much about blog Branding and what kind of Affect it can have on Blog Readership and relationships with other Bloggers. As most will judge you on the landing page of your blog or your blog theme layout .NICHOLAS CARDOT has done an excellent job on not only Branding his Blog with a nice theme but if you are a subscriber to his blog, You will also notice that he uses very easy to read email templates for his blog posts when they are so pleasing on the eye that they make you want to go to his blog and just read the content there also.

Visual Impact is Important

Often people will say that your content is the most important thing but the Visual Impact of your blog is what many visitors judge it on, Having good content will not be enough if the Visitor cannot easily Navigate your site they will Quickly Leave if there is something causing the Page to Load Slowly or flash in the Sidebar causes their browser to Crash.This is one of the reasons I use Categories in my blog header as the Visitor will possibly see one of the Categories that they may have interest in and make at least a second page view.

Speeding up your Blog

One of the Reasons I moved to a self hosted WordPress blog was because of page loading speed, When you are hosting on a free blogging service there are many things that cause your blog to load slowly also having access to the root of your domain name has many Advantages .Finding a good web hosting service is important if you are anyway interested in making your blog load fast I recommend Hostgator for reliable and Quality Hosting just use this coupon code “yournewhost” to get a $9.94 Discount off the hosting package price.Compressing your CSS and Enabling GZip Compression are some other things you can do to keep your blog loading fast.Another option is to use CSS Sprites there is a WordPress Plugin to Enable CSS Sprites easily.

Landing Pages for Social Networking Traffic

Another Trick to make a Better Impact on first time Visitors to your blog is to change where they enter your website. Sometimes people send referral traffic to an about page or another example if you have blog posts about twitter or Facebook then instead of linking to your homepage on your profile just link to these Articles as they would be of more interest to the visitor from the social networking sites. The same can be done with blog comments when linking a related post in the url field of the comment form will have a better impact on your blogs first time visitors this is also good for seo as you are doing deep linking.

The Author Name and Gravatar

There is nothing worse than reading a blog where the Author has not bothered  to create a pen name when I see a blog that has Admin as the Author I automatically think Autoblog or Splog.This is also a problem with discussion and commenting on blogs as the reader will not want to say great post Admin use your real name or a pen name and get a Gravatar even if you do not enable them on your blog.
