Facebook Groups: Drive Massive Traffic To Your Blog

A social networking site Facebook started for chatting, viewing pictures etc. Few days later used for other purposes, present time more than social networking. We all are aware of Facebook and the number of users it has. We also have many tutorials on "How to get traffic from Facebook" etc. but now we are not going on Facebook Pages nor on Profiles. We are now attacking the Facebook groups. Which will definitely bring you a good amount of traffic. 
I just found this few days back, some people were posting links on open groups of Facebook, so I too was going to start posting links on open groups, but the people using the groups did not like the links they posted, so I dropped off the idea. After few days, I came to know about the groups in which people only post links to their blog. I was amazed to see that, and got a new way of traffic. Lets discuss deep.

Here are some words on Facebook groups and their uses-

1. No one crying:

The groups I explained above, do not have any person who are not aware of Blogging. These groups are only for the people who own a blog and can post their blog post link freely without any objection. These are also open groups but only for Blogger's, not like other open groups which disallow you to post your links.

2. New blogs, new friends:

As these blogs have many links to many blogs, you can find many interesting blogs over the world, some may be related to your niche. You can ask Ideas about your next post, or how should you improve your blog etc. In this way you can explore new blogs and fine new friends who can help you in blogging.

3. Massive traffic:

You can earn a lot of traffic from these groups, as everyone viewing the group may be interested to click on your blog. And if you post every link of your blog there will be nothing more better as you can get daily readers/visitors. This is something like free advertising of your blog.

Where can we find these types of groups?

This is a common question. Of course you will find them on Facebook :D.
Well I am listing some names and links here:

• Bloggers 
• Bloggers League 
• Exchange Comments 
•  

You can find more by yourself. Take care good bye, keep reading more articles on Blogger Tricks Hut. Happy Blogging.

Auto Share Your Blog Posts To Facebook Timeline

While you are a part time blogger, then the biggest problem is time. While we blog, we need to write good articles which needs much time. But still we can manage to do, but after posting on your blog and again on social networks is very big deal. So to make it easy I am going to introduce an application that posts all your blog posts onto your Facebook Timeline and your fan page's timeline. Using this saves most of the time. While you publish your post on your blog, the app publishes a link to the post you have published. And we all know how publishing links on our blog's fan page affects the traffic. So to make our work convenient lets get on to RSS Graffiti.

What is RSS Graffiti?

RSS Graffiti is an app on Facebook, this is a free application that posts all your blog posts to your Facebook Fan Page's timeline and your profile timeline. Not only your blog posts but also your Twitter Updates, YouTube Videos and many other. You can use RSS Graffiti absolutely free without any limitations. This is simple and very effective. 

Why should you use RSS Graffiti?

As I have explained the need of time at the starting, this application simply posts all out updates on our timeline which was a really boring manual work and not only boring but also time taking. So RSS Graffiti saves time. Nothing in this world is free, but RSS Graffiti is. You are free to use this super cool app for free. 

How to use RSS Graffiti?

There is nothing to do in this case. This is an application that does not make your work easy but does not give you work at all. This app is automatic, all the work is done by the app.

How to setup RSS Graffiti?

There is nothing great about setting the app, you may just go to the app page and follow the instructions.

Customizing the position of the gadget/widget!

This is an easy customizable widget. You don't need to customize any big thing in this widget/gadget. Just you need to change the position of the widget. Well, it is optional because if the position fits your blog you may continue without customizing the position. So all just you need is to change the highlighted text in the above code. The code says: bottom: 2% and left:2%. This means the widget will float 2% away from the bottom and left. You can change those percents to change the position of your widget. 

After all, we have added a new cute sharing widget to our blog. I will be posting many other coll and cute bookmarking gadgets and more. Don't forget to subscribe to Blogger Tricks Hut. Happy Blogging. Comments are welcome.
