Posting blog entries consistently is one of the starting points to
getting your blog notice by readers. When you first create a blog you
want to be sure that your post are thought provoking, informative, or at
the very least create a stir. A great way to judge the reaction to your
posts is in both the number and nature of blog comments left at your
site.
What we want to address here today is how to position your site to be
one of the top blogs in your niche. No doubt the use of numerous SEO and
blog design approaches can be very advantageous to positioning your
site. Our focus here however will be on making the most out of every
entry to the blog site itself.
Here are 7 blogging tips you can use immediately when posting entries to
increase the popularity of your site within your niche.
Let the Reader Know How You Feel
Show some attitude when applicable in your posting, after all it is your
blog. Readers will enjoy your display of 'personality' and so will you
since it will make your writing a lot more fun and therefore easier for
you.
Keep Post Brief
Your post does not have to be article length but in fact it would
usually be better that it isn't. A composition of about 250 to 300 words
will work just fine. This will help maintain the readers' attention long
enough to read the complete post and it won't be as much effort for you
to write.
Riveting Headline
Do what you can to capture the readers attention. Since the headline
will be the first things they see try to insure it is an accurate
'portrayal' of what the content holds for the reader.
When possible the use of shock or humor will work wonderfully but be
sure to deliver to the reader what your headline may promise.
Be Passionate
A show of enthusiasm or passion in your writings will serve to get your
reader more involved in what they are reading. If your tone sounds bored
it is only natural that the reader will quickly adopt this feeling and
probably quit reading.
Also if you are passionate or excited about what it is you're writing
this will only make your efforts seem more like play and less like work.
Reader Friendly Format
Make your posts easy to read by following a layout that is easy on the
eyes. Avoiding long paragraphs will lessen the eye strain of your
readers.
The use of bold letters or underlining also makes it easier for the
reader to scan your post for the highlights or important points of the
post itself.
Also when possible, try to present your points in a listed fashion
whether thru the use of subtitles, numbers, or bullets points.
Optimize Your Post
Consider what it is your post is all about. By identifying the main
point of the post you can isolate and select keywords or keyword
phrases. By optimizing your post in such a way you now have made it
easier for search engines to find your posted material.
The end result when you properly optimize your post will be more readers
will now find your post when they conduct a search for content such as
yours.
More readers - sweet deal!
Ask For & Encourage Comments
At the end of every post ask readers what they thought of the
information you provided. This encourages helpful feedback for you and
more interaction by the readers themselves.
The feedback is something you can use to improve your blog while the
increased interactivity by the reader will be more satisfying to them.
Your blog entries are the foundation upon which you will build your
site. When you first create a blog your focus should be on any blog
comments left at your site. There is no better barometer as to how your
blog site is being received by readers online. By following the 7
blogging tips we discussed above you can position yourself to become one
of the top blogs in your niche. There will be other techniques like the
blog design, linking and SEO that will also help but remember it all
starts with the content you put on the site.
