If you are new to Source Blogger, we are in the midst of another all-week-long theme. What's an all-week theme? That's when a full week is devoted to one topic on Source Blogger. It allows the opportunity to go in depth on a particular topic , and typically walks you through the entire process. Plus, it allows readers to master the steps without moving on to another subject too quickly. We've had week-long themes on Twitter, Facebook, Building Back Links, and recently completed "Your Blog Sucks!"

Have you taken the "Source Blogger Challenge?"

It's easy. Spend some time getting to know Source Blogger. If you follow other blogs that offer blogging tips and tricks, compare their content to Source Blogger. No one does it like Source Blogger. Our success is based on yours. Believe that. We also want you to be part of the growing Source Blogger community. Source Blogger is still relatively new on the scene at three months, but the blogging world is starting to take notice. We want you to join us early in our development. Grow with us. At this point, we hope you are considering becoming a Source Blogger subscriber. We'd love to have you.

Ok, we're ready to reveal the #1 secret for gaining more RSS subscribers.

#1) Traffic

That wasn't quite the big secret you expected was it? But, who said the answer couldn't be obvious?

As a metric, I'd like to see you have about 5-10 subscribers of your blog's RSS from each new post. Is that too lofty an expectation? You have to figure the conversion rate will become higher as your articles begin to saturate the search engines and more readers discover your blog through your marketing and promotion efforts.

In order to achieve this, it will take more readers. Just imagine the impact of a blog receiving 500 unique hits a day as opposed to it's current rate of 50. Or 5000? It's a simple equation of probability by numbers.

You say you are satisfied with your blog's traffic levels? Ok, what if we doubled your traffic? How would that impact your RSS subscribership?

Your conversions (subscriptions, comments, sales, etc.) are solely based on varying degrees of organic and inorganic traffic.

Some "blogging experts" feel that these conversions solely come from "the generation of free web traffic sent to your website/blog from targeted keywords when searching for content on the World Wide Web when using a search engine."

We know that is not always the case with the advent of social marketing and blogging communities driving traffic, don't we?

"Source Blogger, what about traffic exchanges? I'm the #1, supa-dupa, hall of fame, greatest of all time "dropper" on Entrecard, CMF Ads, and Adgitize!" Plus, I'm a legend on EasyHits4u!

If you are passing your days visiting other blogs in order to gain Entrecard credits or have others reciprocate with a visit of their own, you are working very hard for little return of your investment: time.

The conversion rate from this traffic is near non-existent. Why? Ok, I have a test. How many of the blogs that you visited did you make a point of reading a full article, commenting, or subscribing? I'll answer for you, my friend: none.

And that is what you can expect in return.

Let's refocus. Come back to your blog and work on improving your blog's content, let's develop a real SEO strategy, and let's develop legitimate methods of exposing your blog to those who are not entrapped in a network that falsely inflates its traffic volume offering no less than a 100% bounce rate in return.

And finally, let me present you the real, #1 Secret To Gaining More RSS Subscribers: Subscribing to Source Blogger. No other blog is as committed to making you a better blogger. Whether it's Alexa Rank, Google PageRank, Search Engine Optimization, Social Marketing, Blog Marketing and Promotion, or Making Money Online, we now set the tone in the industry. With you as part of the Source Blogger community, we're going to be the #1 blog in this niche/category in 2010.
