Importance of readership?

You may have this question that what is the importance of readership? There is no doubt that search engines bring your blog a valuable traffic but in the end It`s all depend upon readers. If you underestimate power of readers than you will lose your valuable followers If there is noone interested in your content than even search engines won`t help you. So always prefer your readership.

If you don`t care about your reader then they will never come back to your blog again. You have to make good impression teh same time when you making money. When you target readers, search engines automatically start loving your content. Sometimes when you have millions of subscribers search engines can even mold their terms for your blog or site.


Social media also play an important role to bring you good Blog readership. People share your content on social network and social bookmarking sites which help you to get more traffic.

What’s the thin line?

Social network and your readers help you even when search engines cant help you. Always write killer content by keeping focus on your readers. This help you make your blog a brand. Good quality content make your readers help you in terms of traffic also as they share on social networks which improve your traffic. This is the best marketing strategy.
