Although there are a number of ways through which your website’s ranking can increase but I’m going to jot down some of the most effective ones so that you can use these first to go to bigger things later. These are the ways used by experts so you can be sure of their reliability.

Adding Related Posts

Adding related posts in your blog is one of the effective ways of adding to the ranking. And for that, you can make use of the plug-ins that is provided by blogging platforms. The plug-ins selects these related posts depending upon the type of post above. Because if a writer has reached till the end of the page, he would like to read more related stuff and watching it available on your page will make him like it. The location of related posts and their highlighting also depends on whether how much you want them in your blog.

Interlinking Your Post

Usually what happens is a visitor reads your recent post and another one or two or simply leaves immediately. Through interlinking, you can make a visitor stay on your blog for long, hence decreasing the bounce rate. Interlinking provides links from different keywords to other links which will give user a choice of looking through different links right from your website. And so it increases the traffic on your blog. Plug-ins is provided for this purpose and some platforms like WordPress have interlinking integrated in their systems.  This method is a little more effective than related posts given at the end.

Adding Popular Posts

Adding popular posts in the sidebar is a good technique to catch interest of the reader as readers are attracted towards things that are popular. The standard practice is to bold the topic of ‘popular posts’ and adding some five latest posts to it. For instance, if a post of poster printing gets highest readership, add it into the category of popular posts. Highlighting these posts bring more traffic, hence increasing the number of your page views.

Adding Categories

If you see that your following is increasing and visitors are interested in more of your posts, then you can make use of categories. You can put related articles under categories so that it’s easy for an interested visitor to browse through your blog instead of going through all the pages, which can be hectic and a turnoff. Categories also work if you have more content and less pictures on your blog. When your post says, ‘if you want to read more about this particular category’, you can direct the user to the link of that category. Also, it gives a professional look to your blog.

Adding Excerpts

Adding excerpts is another good move for use in a blog but it can only increase page views. If your blog is catchy, excerpts might work as they make the visitor click on the excerpt to read full story. It also gives a managed look to the blog and makes the visitor see more of your posts in one page scroll. You can also make good use of excerpts if your blog has already started on a good ranking and you know that readers will be interested in reading what you have posted.

RSS Feeds

There a good many number of readers who have subscribed to RSS feeds which give them a chance to read posts on the reader. One downside of RSS feeds is that it can decrease traffic on your blog when users can view it on the reader. To make RSS feeds advantageous, what you can do is to make use of interlinking as mentioned above. When there will be links on RSS feeds, it will bring the user back to your blog, hence bringing traffic and page views. You can also make use of excerpts on RSS feeds for your blog and the links will bring the visitor to your blog directly.

To Wrap it Up…

The sole purpose of encouraging visitors to come to your site is not only the clicks but also the time the user stays on your page. So your website should be such which has some good content to make the customer stay and look through it, also, finding it useful. So apart from using tips and techniques to bring traffic to your blog, you should also put your efforts in making your website useful and interesting for the particular audience as most of the above mentioned techniques work when the visitor actually reads and likes something on your blog.

When visiting a restaurant website, people often want to look at the menus, and this is a great place to let your creativity really shine. We’ve looked around the internet to find ten great restaurant websites that have produced amazing and interactive menus.

Ruby Tuesday

Like many restaurants, Ruby Tuesday has separate menus for different times of the day. To deal with this large amount of information they have used an elegant tab system. Click on your required menu – brunch or dinner, for example, and the menu will drop down, keeping all extraneous information hidden away. Special meals are showed off on a content slider with stunning food photography.

Benito’s Hat

Benito’s Hat is a UK-based Mexican restaurant where diners choose their meal in stages, building it to their own specifications. They choose their base, then their fillings, toppings and their sides. The restaurant website incorporates this four stage process into the menu, encouraging visitors to click on sub-menus to move through each stage.

Giraffe

Like Ruby Tuesday, Giraffe has different menus across the day. Rather than using a dropdown, Giraffe has links to its menus in content boxes on the front page. Visitors can click through to the time of day they are interested in, or they have the option to view everything at once.

Backyard Burgers

The focus of Backyard Burgers’ website is, unsurprisingly, the burgers. Upon landing there is a huge slider with a burger on it. Visitors are encouraged to slide across the restaurant’s burgers. Upon clicking on the full menu the visitor can choose what they want to view from the left hand menu, or browse through the “related items.”

L’Auberge de l’ill

The L’Auberge de l’ill website is, like the restaurant, classy. The Flash website is a great balance between style and content – showing off the food photography while still enabling the visitor to browse through the menu.

Cantilever

The Cantilever website looks like a standard website – with the content contained on a number of different pages. However, upon clicking upon a menu item the website simply scrolls down smoothly to another section of the same page with its own header. It’s an interesting approach to website construction and works particularly well on a page like this with not too much content.

Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom is another Flash website with great interactivity. Rolling over various elements on the page causes them to be highlighted. There are some cute animations across the website, and the menu is easy to navigate with useful information.

This is Leaf

This is Leaf is a large tea shop with extensive tea menus. The website uses a vertical column layout with the menu on the left hand side, content menus on the next column and information changing in the middle. The menus are split up into different times of the day, making it easy to browse.

Wokitokee

If you want to see the height of cuteness in website design, Wokitokee has it. The website utilizes the best of Flash, with bold colors and website interactions on mouse rollovers. It’s also got some great sound effects which are used judiciously.

Leon

Like many of the restaurants in our showcase, Leon has different menus for different times of the day. To support this, the website has taken a slightly different approach. All of the menu content is on one page and clicking on the navigation menu will take you to the correct time of day. The nav menu, however, doesn’t scroll off the page but remains fixed while the rest of the content moves. This lets you find your way around wherever you are on the page.
