Why Most #QualityTraffic Doesn't #Qualify as TRUE #Quality (to Me, at least) & How You Might Get Some #BlogTraffic that #Qualifies @SmartBloggerHQ #Qualification #Qualities #HighQuality #Qualifier #Qualitative
I'm sure you've seen a lot of programs that offer "Quality Site Traffic" (like the AutoSurf-program (which I link to at the bottom of the post) promise). They qualify 'any connection between a site & a web-browser' as "Traffic." But I don't qualify it as Quality Traffic unless the surfers respond in the comments!
'Those words' (below-hyperlinked to ) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Quality” is built on ancient words that mean "What Kind of a" (rooted in ancient words that resemble Quo, ancient words at the root of "Cheese (a Big thing), Either, How, Neither, Neuter, |Quandary, |Quantity, |Quasar, Query, Quip, Quote, |Quotient, When, Whence, Where, Whether, Which, Who, Why).
The word “Qualify” is built on 'that' plus ancient words that mean "to Make (|Set, |Put)" (to |Limit, Modify, be |Fit for a Job).
Smart Blogger gives us 'The Three-Part Formula for Getting More Comments'
Traffic + Engagement + Emotion = Bunches of Comments
... and 14 tips
- Get Visitors to Subscribe (mostly by 'offering an incentive' like a video, report or webinar)
- Prefer Email over RSS
- Publish Less Often
- Email Your Unopens
- These four tips (and maybe some of the others) illustrate 'the alternate direction I'm going'—I write, and most of the few who read it are (I think) linking to it from Twitter where I share it through Buffer ... formerly through FeedBurner, which I still use for 'email subscriptions' (though I'm not really trying to get more subscribers that way).
I guess I've convinced myself that 'my writing' is "incentive"-enough. - Ask for Links
- That's kinda what I'm doing when I put '@"username"' in the post-title (ONLY when I link to their page). What happens—sometimes it posts a link 'on the user's Twitter-page,' but usually it just 'notifies the user that I "tagged" them on my page'
- Revive the Archives
- I might change the blog-layout again—its layout at-the-time is where I thought most posts would just be '"This word" comes from "that word."' So I aimed to display 'as many posts as possible' up front.
But–with each post being more like 'an article that focuses on a small number of words'–I might change it around to make it more like 'a pile of events.' - Write with MORE PASSION
- Assault the Norm
- Tell a Tear-Jerker
- Attack a Common Enemy
- Give a Pep Talk
- Respond to the Comments you Do Get
- Ask a Question that's Easy to Answer
- Resort to Bribery (akin to 'the Incentive for Subscribing')

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
