The success of a blog depends on its users. Now, that’s no flattery to those who read this, but it is a fact that it is not the writer who determines success but the readers who rank the effectiveness of a piece of writing and make it a success. If you want to create a successful blog, the first thing that you need to do is to satisfy your readers – and make sure you have plenty of them.

The logic goes that if you have a satisfied reader, you would, in the course of time, have plenty of them. But for those who do not have much patience to wait for their satisfied reader to spread the word, the solution is not just about having a good work done on your blog but also to get as many people to read the work. This is popularly known as Traffic Generation.

While there are a host of tools available for Traffic Generation, there is a simple tool that has the likelihood of increasing your blog’s traffic dramatically – depending on your job’s theme, content and context, of course (Remember, no matter how much a tool may guarantee you an increased traffic to your site, the first and foremost condition is for you to have contents that strike a chord with your readers – content first, gimmicks next!).

These ‘gimmicks’ that we are talking of are actually not gimmicks in the sense of the term but are valuable tools that make your blog readable to any number of people whose native language is not English. The plug-in is Translator – one that translates your content into more language than what you actually know. For instance, if you are writing a Travelogue, where you describe places and narrate your travel stories and adventures, your site is more likely than not to have an intuitive appeal towards people of different regions of the world. With a translator plugged in, your blog appears in the search results of those who are looking for sites in their own language of choice. Talk of increased traffic!

The disadvantage of using the plug-in could be that you may not expect the same fluency and flow that your English language post has, in its translated version. Unfortunately, software isn’t developed enough to be poetic and romantic yet. Your posts would be translated alright, but with less essence and vitality – the crude matter would be communicated but the elegance and style would have evaporated.

Not to worry though – readers of other language versions would know that it is a translated version and they can switch to English to read the original version. The important aspect is, obviously, the extended reach that your blog could command. Taragana, Lorelle and Global Translator are a few versions that can do the trick for you and increase your all-important traffic.
