Shortcuts and Quicklinks: Grow Your Blog Traffic 60% Faster

Don't you just hate to search your blog or even scroll down to the bottom in order to find out what's new? If you have over 50 posts, then this will be a big problem. In this article, we’ll show you how to grow your blog traffic by using shortcuts and quicklinks.

Add shortcuts to your top-performing posts.

Shortcut is one of the best ways to help your users find the content they’re searching for on your site. It allows users to search and quickly access a specific page or post from any device. So, if you have top-performing posts, add shortcuts for them so that people can easily find them.

You can also add shortcuts for your blog posts that have a lot of comments and social media shares. This will help your users find their favorite content faster.

Use quicklinks to guide readers between related posts.

Quicklinks are a great way to guide users between related posts. They’re also a handy way to let readers know what content is available on your site. For example, if you have multiple posts about the same topic, you could add quicklinks to each post that link back to the original article. This will help promote your blog as well as encourage readers to explore topics they may not have thought of before.

Quicklinks can be added in several different ways:

  1. At the end of each post. If you have multiple related posts, you can add quicklinks at the end of each one so readers can jump straight to other related articles.
  2. In related posts lists. You can also add quicklinks in related post lists – either at the bottom or in a sidebar widget.
  3. On category pages. If your content is organized into categories, you could add quicklinks on those category pages too.

Include a link in your email signature.

If you use email as a marketing tool, consider adding a quicklink to your email signature. This is particularly useful if you have an email newsletter or other regular communications with your subscribers.

For example, if you run an online clothing store, you can include a link that takes customers directly to your latest collection. Or if you are a freelance writer and want to drive traffic to your blog posts, use an "Email me" link in your signature that takes readers directly to the blog post they are interested in reading.

The benefits of having an email signature link are twofold:

  1. It saves time for readers. If someone is interested in one of your products or services, they don't have to open another browser window or search through their inbox for the information; they just click on the email signature link and they're there!
  2. It drives traffic back to your website or blog consistently over time. If someone clicks on one of these links and finds something interesting, chances are they'll come back again and again!


Include links in your newsletter and social media posts.

If you're putting together a newsletter or social media post, don't forget to include links. This is another way of driving traffic back to your website or blog consistently over time. You can also use these links as an opportunity to promote new content; for example, if your company has just launched a new product or service, include a link in your newsletter that directs readers right back to that information on your website!

Sum Up

We hope you find these tips and tricks helpful, and encourage you to share this article with other bloggers! Successfully growing your blog in today’s world means sacrificing time and energy, but it also means getting the most out of what you have. Good luck working with shortcuts and quicklinks for better, faster results.
