The most effective way to improve blog traffic - Facebook

I discovered some very effective ways to gain blog traffic. I personally use it and my traffic increases about 1000%. Even though my page isn't generating 10k traffic per day, but still it proved it is effective especially if you're blogging about something worth for readers to share, by their standards of cos, not yours. If you're blogging about your emotion and feeling, I doubt that this post can help you. 


The most valuable lesson I have learned is to utilize your social network. The biggest and most popular social network is no doubt the Facebook, founded by the legendary nerd Mark Zuckerberg.  


There are a several very useful functions on Facebook, for example the Share button, Like button, and Fan page. The best of all, they're free of charge. For small-fry blogger like me, cost is most important factor I care in choosing the methods of promoting my page. So FOC is good.


Make sure you place Like and Share buttons for every single blog post you publish. So that people who find it interesting have higher tendencies to share it on Facebook. Convenience is playing a very important role here. Readers might be reluctant to share if they have to copy the page link and share it manually, it's too troublesome. 


Second thing is the Like button. It serves more than just a tool for people to "like" your post, it's rating. When people see a high number of "like" for a particular post. They might stop to read your contents, to find out why so many people like it. Herd mentality is the key. 


The third thing is Fan page. Create a fan page for your page. When people become fans, they indirectly follow you. To certain extents, fan page has the functionality of Twitter, RSS and bookmark. When you update your fan page, they will see it. It's better than Twitter because your fans can have a platform of discussion on Facebook. The downside is that people might not login to Facebook everyday or they might miss your update on. So, the best thing is to get your readers bookmark your page. That's it, my 2 cents of opinion.

How to be Liked by Everyone?

People want to be liked naturally. We don't have to be popular, but certainly want to be accepted as part of groups.

There are millions of people asking the same question.

Is it possible to be like by everyone?

I would say yes, but apparently it's tougher than Mission Impossible. There are people who just dislike us and what we do, like not everyone will be pleased by Transformer 3, some love it but certain people just want to stick with their moronic Taiwanese idol dramas (You can see I hate these idol dramas when I use the adjective of moronic to describe it.)

Sometimes we just have to accept the fact that life doesn't always go the way we want it to. People do make mistake, no one is perfect, and sometimes being prefect is a flaw itself.

It's ok if people misunderstand us, as long as we know that we are not what they think.  If it's possible, find out the reason why people dislike us and improve, but if we think the reason is not valid, just ignore it because some people just cannot give constructive feedback. If we make mistake, don't be shamed to apologize. Some people do hold grudge, we may want to stay away from these people.

My advise: Think of the people that like us instead of focus on the small bunch of people that dislike us.

"Hate" Button on Facebook

I assume all of you know about Facebook and if you have a Facebook account, I assume you know what is a "Like" button. "Like" button is for you to click on it to show that you like something, for example if your slutty net friend updates her relationship status to "Single", you can click on "Like" since she is once again available in your potential-get-laid-prospect list.

I'm sure you liked something on Facebook before, whether it's a status or Nike's Make-You-Freekick-Like-Beckham football boots, maybe McDonald new Dead-Horse-Mixed-Dead-Chicken Burger. So don't tell me you never "Like" before, I'll say BULLSHIT. Just for your information, you can like it on Facebook as well.

Just in case you really don't know

Here comes the question: If we have "Like". Where is the "Hate"? I like a lot of things, and I'm certainly hate or dislike a lot of things as well. I hate when a pretty girl got into a relationship with a big fat ugly fuck, but just when I'm about to show my hatred, I realized there is no fucking "Hate"! 

So I decided to make my own, so that I could hate those emo statuses like 

I'm so lonely, no one understand me or  

Why do you treat me so bad when I love you so much! or this,  

Happy Mother's Day to my mum, I love you forever! 

For fuck sake, your mum is not even on Facebook.

"Hate" Button

If there is a "Hate" button, I will not be surprised if people use it more often than "Like". There are just so much things that I hate.

Nonetheless, do like my page. Simply click on the like button, or you can find me on Facebook.
