8 Pages Every Blog Should Have

August 23rd, 2008 · Comments · Blogging

Pages are something that many blogger’s don’t take full advantage of, myself included. Here is a list of 8 pages I think many blogger’s could find useful in driving and retaining more traffic to their blog.

1. About Page

This is a very simple yet useful page that every blog should have. A brief summary of what your blog is about and why it may be useful to a reader. Not every article you write will come to the table with a clear message of what your blog is all about so clearly defining it for the readers makes it easier to decide if your blog is worthy of a subscription.

3. FAQ Page

Another simple page to set up. This can very quickly help readers out while on your blog. It will also help cut down on the amount of emails you receive regarding certain things about your blog. May not be necessary for every blog but if you find yourself consistently answering emails probably a good idea.

2. Contact Page

Another easy and necessary page for any blog. Give your readers a chance to get in touch with you and provide feedback on your blog. Helps to show your readers that you really do care what they think and are willing to listen to them.

6. Events Page

Speaking somewhere? Maybe just attending a conference somewhere. Let your readers know about it! Not only will it give your loyal fans a chance to possibly meet and talk with you but it will help inform them about events in their field they may not know about otherwise.

4. Advertise With Us Page

Have advertising on your blog? Why not have a page that lets advertisers easily find out what you have to offer and how they can contact you about it. Even if your blog is small it doesn’t hurt to have. You won’t get any offers from advertisers if you don’t have the page at all.

5. Offer Your Services Page

If you offer services to readers this is an easy way to tell them about it. Maybe it will provide links to your website that shows more about what you offer or least explains what you can do. Easy way to promote yourself clearly and directly.

7. Projects Page

Are you working on another blog, website, business? Let your readers know about it. Have a page for your upcoming website launch so readers can follow the process and get excited about it. Easy way to create hype around something your involved with.

8. Most Popular Page

Have a page dedicated to the most popular posts from your blog. Let new users see your best content and let that help them in their decision to subscribe to your blog or not.
