A sure-fire way to get bucket loads of new visitors is to blog about current news events , it not only get you your new visitors but also is a good way to post when you are having trouble trying to thing what to blog about. Blogging about current on topic media events allows you to capitalize on the hype which news and media organizations are generating about the new event. Just think about how many times you have seen something on TV, read in the news paper or online then Googled it. If you do this then chases are most other internet users do the same. The best example I can give relates to one of my latest blogs The Business Travel Guru , which is basically a blog about Business Travel, Frequent Flyer Programs, Business Hotels, etc. Anyway just recently Singapore Airlines and Airbus made history with the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380, such an event was bound to be a hot and therefore a lot of traffic from search engines would be for on topic keywords. The first Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 topic that brought a significant increase in new visitors to my blog was Singapore Airlines releasing a seat map and cabin details for their Airbus A380. In the lead up to this event I checked Singapore Airlines website a few times a day so I could be the first to blog on these topics, I also signed up with Singapore Airlines for their Press Releases. A week or so before the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380 Singapore Airlines released the details I was after and I was one of the first to blog about these news items. I wrote the following two posts: Singapore Airlines A380: first glimpse of Singapore Airlines A380 cabins Singapore Airlines Release A380 Cabin Configuration Details and Seat Map Diagram Now having been one of the first to blog about Singapore Airlines A380 internal cabin and with my post written correctly to capitalize on these critical keywords, my posts now rank highly number 1 & 2 in Google for the following key phrases: Singapore Airlines A380 seat map Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 seat map The second Singapore Airlines event was the landing of Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 in Sydney and the subsequent media events. As a member of the blogging press I was able to attend the following media events that covered the A380 landing in Sydney: Landing of the first commercial flight of Singapore Airlines A380 in Sydney. Presentation of cheque to charity for the earnings generated from the eBay sale of seats for this first flight. Then a tour of Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 Departure of Singapore Airlines A380 from Sydney As I did not have time to attend all events I decided to attend the cheque presentation and tour of the aircraft as I wanted to take a look at the new A380 and knew this would be the best way to get more information and internal cabin pictures that could be later used to blog about. The entire media event attracted a 20 fold increase in visitors to my new blog, which I am still seeing the fruits of, even though traffic has dropped significantly to these posts, I have exposed my site to and gained many new readers. Now go out there and blog about a current news event, your Adsense & analytics figures will be better for it. Next week I will outline techniques to turn new visitors into regular readers of your blog. If you have any tips of comments to add to this topic please leave them below.
