Google Finance: A New And Free Way To Generate More Visitors To Your Blog

Google Finance: A New And Free Way To Generate More Visitors To Your Blog
By Tino Buntic

An interesting thing happened recently. I mentioned Google in my blog and, shortly after, my blog had a visitor via Google Finance. This was interesting. So I tried a few blog posts that mentioned other public companies and I received even more traffic from Google Finance.

I, by accident, discovered a new and free way to generate some more visitors to my blog. All I had to do was mention a company that is tracked by Google Finance and I would receive visitors.

Here's how it works. Google Finance is a beta product offered by Google that provides information about North American stocks, mutual funds, and public and private companies along with charts, news, and fundamental financial data. If you research any company that is tracked by Google Finance, you will find that at the bottom right-hand corner of the Google Finance page for that company is a section for Blog Posts, providing links to blogs that mention the company so that users of Google Finance can easily find opinions from members of the blogosphere.

What does this mean for you and your blog? It is a new and free way to generate more visitors to your blog if you happen to mention any of the thousands of companies tracked by Google Finance. Of course, mentioning a company just for the sake of mentioning it to generate more blog traffic could be considered spam and is not the right thing to do. But, if you have valuable insight, feel free to do so and you may receive more traffic to your blog.
