I know, that’s my sad attempt in creating my own word. Hmmm, makes me want to patent that. Wait, should it be blorganic or bloganic?
Anyway, how many of you have made a sad attempt in growing your blog or website? Judging by the questions I get from here, the posts made by many folks on various forums, and the insane amount of marketing about SEO shortcuts and alike, I’m guessing many of us have tried fast track our way to success.
There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Look, I’m guilty as well. Even though I firmly believe nothing will work in the long-term other than growing your blog organically, I’m still curious enough to see if someone has figured out some magic formula. My expectations are usually very low otherwise I would be disappointed every time.
In my opinion, if you’re an individual or small company, save your time and money and ignore those ads! Things like buying backlinks or link exchanges may work well for the big guys trying to move up on SERP but they won’t do much to sustain success for the small fry.
How to grow your blog organically
- Write quality articles consistently
- Comment on other like-niche sites
- Write guest articles on other like-niche sites
- Participate on dofollow forums
Really, that’s all there is to it. That said, doing all of those things will take a lot of time. But hey, if you can make it past the painful period of writing for an audience of one (usually at least three months), then it will pay off.
Notice I didn’t specifically state that you should seek out dofollow sites to comment and write guest articles for. Although I prefer dofollow, the real purpose of those activities are to spread the word about your expertise and build relationships with people. A dofollow backlink would simply be a bonus.
In other words, you are doing work to create a natural following. No gimmicks; just your own personal sweat equity. That’s what I call being blorganic.
So are you blorganic?
