Google Realtime Search Can Boost Traffic To Your Blog without the Headache of SEO

Google has again found a way to trans­form the search engine into a even more nec­es­sary part of what we as blog­gers do. It has made search results even more effi­cient. Taking a page from Twitter’s play­book they have intro­duced real time search results so that you can be even more up-​to-​date to what is being talked about around the web.

Twitter users have had the advan­tage of real time search for quite some time now, but Google has expanded it to a wider audi­ence. All of the inter­net. What does that mean for you and your blog? A whole lot.

With the whole of the web hav­ing access to the who, what, why and how often every­thing is hap­pen­ing on the web it can mean a great deal of traf­fic to your blog. Here’s how:

Average web user moseys on over to Google Realtime to find out what is going on with the stock mar­ket for instance and through a quick search they can find out up to the minute what is being said about it.

Again, what does this mean for your blog? In the results just like on Twitter there are links to var­i­ous posts and arti­cles on the Stock Market. If this was your blogs topic any time one of your links is shared there is the poten­tial for the web users search to lead them right to your blog.

This dif­fers in Google’s nor­mal search method where Search Engine Optimization (SEO) plays a role in where your site is indexed or can be found when your blog’s topic is searched for. Many times depend­ing on how preva­lent your topic is your site may have tons of com­pe­ti­tion and be the low man on the Totem Pole so to speak result­ing in very lit­tle search traf­fic.

Google has cre­ated an oppor­tu­nity to pro­vide a more level play­ing field for sites, but it depends on the amout of effort you put into the pro­mo­tion of your posts. A few weeks ago I pre­sented a chal­lenge to pro­mote your posts on Twitter up to five times a day.

Have you imple­mented it?

Now would be a good time to put it into prac­tice if you haven’t already and see how Google Realtime can bring more atten­tion and traf­fic to your blog.
