Assignment: What factors might have contributed in reduced traffic on the site and how can
you contribute in bringing it back?
Factors according to me which might have contributed in the dip
The list of topics seems specific to a certain section of the audience. More generic topics
which can attract a wider audience can be reflected on.
Categories can be increased. For instance, under “Entertainment” we can have the following
categories:
1. Movies and TV
2. Music
3. Pop Culture
4. Art
Some of the write-ups that I went through include, sentences that use too much of passive
voice and are lengthy. Quality of the content can be enhanced and made more SEO friendly.
The appearance of the site can be enhanced to make it more appealing to the eye.
Consistency should be emphasized. Some articles have subheadings numbered 1-10 from
top to down. Others have 10-1. There are some unnecessary gaps in some articles which
again deteriorates the visual appeal.
A good introduction is highly important. It follows the rule- ‘Judging the book by its cover’.
If the introduction is not good enough then the readers won’t bother going through other
content of the article. Some articles are even missing it and directly starting from- ‘Given
below is the list...’
Proper proofreading has to come into action. There are grammatical mistakes in some of the
sentences. Some even lack spacing between words. Some are too simple and straightforward
in tone. More focus is required on the vocabulary part.
Formatting part can be enhanced by writing all the headlines in h-2 format, for instance.
