If you think, as long as you are writing good blog posts, people will find your blog eventually then you’re wrong. I suggest you should think once again.

Simply, publishing great blog posts will not help you. There are many other things that need to be done after publishing it. For example, Social Media Sharing.

Immediately after publishing the article, you should share your article on various social media websites. This will ensure, your newly published article gets enough traffic on it.

Further, if possible then try to replace the given text with high paying and SEO optimized keywords in the article. Next, this will ensure your article will rank higher in the search engine and you will get paid a good CPC ( Cost per Click) rate for advertisements shown around it.

This will not only help you in driving good traffic to your site but also create free backlinks for your article.

Next, I know it is very difficult to find blogs accepting free guest post on their site. But, if you are facing this problem then below suggestions are for you.

Submit URL to Google

Google is the biggest search engine contributing more than 80% search online. If your blog is available on Google then it will definitely drive organic traffic to your site.

But, due to a large number of blogs, Google spider takes some time to index your blog posts and add it back to its database.

Hence, whenever you published a new blog post on your site, it does not appear immediately in the search engine. This is because Google has not indexed your new blog post.

Now a question may arise? What should be done in this case? Of course, sitting back and waiting for Google to index your new article will be not a good idea. Right?

So, What should be done now? The only way to solve this problem is to force Google to index your new blog posts immediately.

Yes, it is possible to index and show your blog posts in Google immediately within minutes of its publishing in the Google search.

This can be done by submitting the URL to Google directly. To know how to do this, please refer below the article.

To sum up, submit your new URL to Google, immediately after publishing the post on your blog.

Ping Your URL

This is the most important task that you should do after publishing the new blog post. Submitting URL to Google will only help you to drive traffic from Google. But, What about other search engines?

How to drive traffic from other search engines?

Of course, you can follow the same method to submit your URL to other search engines. The only difference will be a change in terminology. Here, in Google it is known by the name ‘URL Inspection’ then in other search engines, it will be known by some other name.

But, do you think? Submitting URL to an individual search engine is a good idea? Just imagine, how much time it will take to submit your new blog posts to all search engines?

Of course, it will take a long time. And, practically it is possible to repeat this activity for all new blog post that will be added to your site.

So, What should be done in this case?

The answer to this question is ‘Ping Websites‘. You can take the help of free ping sites available online. This website will ping your blog URL to various search engine asking to index it.

That’s all. No need to submit your blog post URL individually to all search engines.

Note: Ping URL is not 100% verified method. Hence, it is advisable to submit your blog URL manually to Google and use ping services for other search engines.

Check Your Number

The last task in the list is ‘Check Your Stats Number‘. Always remember, If you are putting hard work on any area of your blog then it is important to know what’s working and what’s not.

Check your Google Analytical Dashboard to find the same.

I strongly suggest checking page views for the month and then appropriately decide the best content marketing strategy for next month.

That’s all. This is the checklist that I followed after publishing a new blog post on my blog. Again, this is my checklist, you can add or delete any task from this. It will not make any difference to this checklist. All the task are independent of each other.
