Why Tutorial articles are important in building traffic

Tutorial articles are standard articles that are aimed to teach your readers something. These articles form the foundation of your blog and become the main drivers of traffic to your blog.

Here I will show you why such articles are important and how to make good use of them.

Tutorial articles are important for your blog because

• they willl bring in a burst of traffic when first published

  This is mainly because people will link or trackback to the post generating a little bit of buzz around the blogosphere.

• they are not time dependent

  You and other bloggers can always refer to it in future posts. Unlike news, Tutorial articles are always interesting and will remain relevant to readers for a long period of time.

• they will generate traffic even after they are archived

  Good tutorial articles will receive lots of incoming links to it making it rank well in search engines. They are also likely to show up on the first page of searches, thereby bringing you new readers to your blog long after you first published the article

• they provide a good reason to subscribe to your feed

  When a first time reader comes to your blog and see all the great content they are more likely to subscribe to your feed or bookmark your site for further reading later.

As you can see Tutorial articles are important in traffic building and should form the foundation of your blog. I recommend you post atleast one Tutorial article per week.

Secondly write these articles in lists whenever possible. This helps make the post more visually appealing and your readers are more likely to stick around for more reading.

Format the text using bold, italics,etc to make your points clear but do not overuse them.

Also create a new page called ‘Top Posts‘, list your tutorial articles there every month and link it from the homepage.

When first time readers see all the great content on that page they are most likely to transform from casual surfers into regular readers.

Just make sure you post short articles daily to your blog and tutorial articles atleast once a week.

Now watch your site’s pageviews and traffic increase
