Blogging isn't just about building traffic. it is also about maintaining it. But for that traffic to be of any use to you, you should a good conversion rate, whereby visitors to your site at least take some action such as following you on Twitter, subscribing for your newsletter, visiting your old posts, and so on. There are many ways to increase your conversion. Here's another one. Add a welcome bar at the top of your website, and include calls to actions, such as sharing your page or liking it. That way, people can have easy access to your pages and links. The bar is provided by AddThis, a large sharing platform, and we have been showing you various sharing options for your blog that they provide. Here, we will show you how to use, and customize this bar.
The welcome bar is as yet in its beta form, but it works with all major browsers except Internet Explorer 7 and below. You can add custom greetings with it and hence increase your conversion rate. You can invite people to visit a certain page on your website, or share your page on a social media, or to follow you on a certain social media. You can set customized greetings, so visitors from a particular website get a specific message.How it works?
It works in a very simple way. You simply paste a piece of JavScript and CSS code anywhere on a page you want the bar to show up on. Ideally, you should put it on your homepage, but you are free to add it anywhere you like. It works like this. When a visitor from Facebook lands on your page, he sees a response relevant to Facebook, such as "Like us on Facebook" of " Share this page on Facebook" etc. Similarly, Twitter users will see a Tweet button, and so on. These responses are totally customizable, and so are the websites users are coming from.
Adding the welcome bar
To add a welcome bar to your blog, visit the AddThis page, and log in, or create an account if you don't already have one. You can create one through Facebook if you like. You will then be taken to a dashboard-like page, where you can create a custom welcome bar for your blog.
