Make Images that Google can Find and Increase Blog Traffic!

Never forget to add images to your blog posts. Not only do they appeal to the reader of the blog, adding to the visual interest. They also bring a lot of attention to your blog since the images will be found by users searching the popular and evergrowing Google Images.

The problem is of course to find images that are not copyrighted. I have solved this by making all images myself for my main blog, Fantasytree. Don't know how to draw or paint? Fear not, free drawing lessons are available at Fantasytree and I will share everything I know about making digital images if you just contact me over there (or here).

If you really don't feel like making your own illustrations (nothing fancy is needed really, no matter how simple an image is it will be found by Google) then you can find stock images online, both for free and for a fee.

But why miss out on a fun and enriching creative hobby?

Happy blogging, drawing and painting!

Use Google Analytics To Make Your Blog's Content More Relevant!

In case you aren't, you should definitely start using Google analytics. This way you can gain all information you need about what readers like most about your blog, how many times each individual post has been viewed and so on.

I start each week by looking at which subjects have been the most popular, striving to focus just slightly more on such subjects that have received a lot of pageviews. Don't just write blindly, analyse and use strategy when writing for your intended readers.

Happy blogging!
