2.Facebook Widget

Whenever i write articles on my blog,the first place that i used to share my post is on Facebook.Because Facebook can drive me traffic like you can never imagine.I’m not stressing you to place other social sharing websites button.It’s bad even if you are not placing the button of other social sharing websites such as Stumbleupon,Google + and Twitter but the impact won’t be as worse as compared with Facebook’s sharing widget.

I’m not only mentioning the Facebook’s sharing widget but also the Facebook’s fanpage like box widget.Whenever a visitor likes your page,they will be notified about your future posts immediately when you share them on your fanpage. According to a research,Facebook stands to be a proven way to drive quality users to your website.If you don’t have a Facebook fanpage then you can learn how to create a Facebook fanpage for your website.
Again the place where widget is located is very important.if in-case you are adding several social sharing widgets everywhere on your blog then the user’s might get confused about which one to use.Also will affect your webpage’s loading time badly.So make a practice of using limited number of social sharing widgets.

3.Related Post Widget

For sure you are going to allow your reader to move away from the blog as soon as they finish reading your post.You must create an opportunity to the reader to read other articles that are related to the current post.This can be done with the help of related post widget.

Labels are how your articles is categorized.Imagine that a reader visits your blog and is reading through an article related to blogging.He gets impressed with your article and  if the visitor is willing to read your other posts related to blogging then he would search for the labels with the name “Blogging“.But when he find’s that you have no labels on that topic , they might simply navigate away from your blog.

To avoid this,you can add the label’s widget inside your website.Whenever you are creating a post make sure that the article can be categorized under two or three labels.The labels can be placed between the header and the body.As you can see i have many labels on my website placed immediately below the header and above the body of the webpage.It can also be placed on the right side of the webpage which will mostly work well.I have categorized my label into 8 and you can find it above this post.

5.Search Box

Yes,i was saving the best for the last.Search Box are has a crucial part in growing your audience.Assume a random visitor had luckily found your website on the internet and the random visitor is trying to look for a particular topic related to your niche.You might have thousands of posts on your blog and it’s difficult for the reader to go through all the page and search for the required topic so the visitors first option would be to look for search box and type in the needed topic.
