THE ULTIMATE BLOGGING TIPS (PART 2)

6. Always Ping After Posting

This is what you need to do after every posts. Remember, always ping your blog. This is to make sure that search engine spider will always crawl your blog after you’ve updated it. Search engines like sites that are always updated. Therefore you must ‘ask’ the crawler to crawl your blog regularly. This will also help you improve your ranking in search engine. A site which always updated is will rank higher than a site that seldom update. This will also help you tell your subscribed readers that you’ve publish a new post. You can ping your blog here at Ping-o-Matic!

7. On Page optimization

You can do this very easily. You can bold of italic your keywords that you want to optimize for in every of your posts. This is a strategy to that can help you increase your ranking in search engine. For example, if you are targeting keywords like make more money online, then you can bold those words. Just like what I did here in my blog. Although on page optimization is less

important than off page optimization (Number of links). But on page optimization still is a factor that will affect your search engine ranking. This is a very simple step that you can take. So be sure to bold or italic your keywords in your blog content. There are still many other on page optimization you could do, but this is for now.

8. Update Your Blog Regularly

I believe you’ve heard this over and over again. But since this is also consider as a blogging tips, so I included it here in The Ultimate Blogging Tips. You know, a blog is something like a diary, just that it is in electronic form. A diary is something that you should write down everyday, so goes for blogs. You should always publish new posts in your blog. The best is everyday, but if you’re busy, then go for at least 5 posts a week. This is what most people do with their blogs, post regularly. If you don’t have any topics to write on, simply use the search engines or any article directories to look for your topics. But don’t copy other people’s content. Just the rough idea, and write with your own words.

9. Include An “About” Section

I’ve stress about this in my previous post, 10 Common Blogging Mistakes. In fact, all the points in that post can be insert here. Why do you need an “About” section? Very simple, you want your readers to know more about you. And if you’re promoting products in your blog, a brief profile of yourself will definitely increase the credibility of your blog and products. Readers and visitors will trust your products more if they know more about you, right? By the way, you can consider including your photo in your blog as well. I’m going to make this short, because you can read the rest here, in 10 Common Blogging Mistakes.

10. Use Simple Language

A blog is site, a more user-friendly site. And if you tell your friends about your blog, the first thing goes into their mind is that they will think that your blog is about your personal life. Most people don’t know that blogs can be use for money making purposes. So, what I’m going to tell you is that, because content will be your main reason why visitors coming to your blog. Therefore you should have a friendly content, write using simple language. You want to be friend with your readers, and not those buyers-sellers relation. Don’t make your blog too formal, a warm friendly feeling blog is a good blog. So you get me, write in plain language just like you always talk to your friends. It will be even better if you can write in those language that a 7 year-old child can understand you. This will make sure that your readers understand what you’re going to tell them.

Well, these are the tips for The Ultimate Blogging Tips (Part 2). I hope that all these tips here are going to help you in your blogs. To your success.

THE ULTIMATE BLOGGING TIPS

Here, I’m going to make them as simple as possible, as straight forward as possible. So here are The Ultimate Blogging Tips :

1. Simple Blog Design

I believe you’ve heard this phrase before, “Simply The Best”. So you got it, make your blog as simple as possible. The only thing you should pay more attention to is your content. Write something that is very informative and you will eventually get the traffic you wish for. If your blog design is too complicated, most of the visitors will feel messy about your blog then you will waste your traffic. Plain simple design will be the best.

2. Your Content Is King

Always remember this. In blogging sphere, content is the most important ingredient if you want to success in blogs. Why are people visits your blog? Because your blog has got information they’re looking for. If you don’t have anything that can attract visitors, then there will be no reasons for them to come to your blog. Here is what you can do about your content. Try to use a appearing colour for your content compare with all the other words outside of your content. You want to make your content easy to read and stand out. Dull font options will make your visitors difficult to read. This is especially true if your post is very long and full of words. Visitors are not going to read something that is very long and difficult to read. So you get my point here.

3. Use Less Techie Widgets

Its nice to have a high tech widget stay in your sidebar. But if they’re too much, then your visitors might attracted to them and follow the link to other sites. This is what you don’t want. Besides that, using too much high tech widgets will make your blog loads slower. Again, you may lost visitors due to this reason. It is not that you can’t use any of them, but my suggestion is, use less. Don’t let your widgets eat up your traffic.

4. Make Your Blog As Professional As Possible

You can achieve this via many ways. One of them is use a standard font size and colour for all the words in your blog. For example, use blue colour to indicate links. In the world of internet, everyone knows that blue means link. As for your title and sub title, you can also standardized the colour. Do not use all different colour, they will look confusing and unprofessional.

5. Repeat Your Best Posts

You may want to repeat your best post, but in a different manner. I’m not asking you to repost the same thing exactly. You can stress back again with your best post in your blog. Some visitors might miss your best post. You want people to read about your best right, so this will be it. However, don’t keep on doing this though. Or else your visitors may think that you don’t have any other topics to write.

So here are all the tips for now. To your success.

THE ULTIMATE BLOGGING TIPS

Here is the continue of The Ultimate Blogging Tips (Part 3).

11. Treat Blogging As Your Hobby

Yea, this is what blogging is all about. Before I get to knew about blogging, I don’t even know what blogging is. And I thought all we can write in blogs are just personal matters. But then after I’ve gone through some very successful blogs, only then I knew that blogs are just not mean for personal life stories. More can be achieve with blogs. Its been few months since I blogged. Now, blogging has become part of my life, I’ll write at least one post everyday. Frankly speaking, I likes blogging. It has become one of my hobby. This is what you need to. Love to blog, only then you will blog with enthusiasms. And with your enthusiastic attitude, you will automatically put more effort into your blog. Write more good post and always update your blog.

12. Always Visit Other’s Blogs

This is what you can do when you’re free. Always visit other people’s blogs. Why? When you do this, I’m sure you will eventually come across with great blogs. And you can get more idea from other people’s blogs. How they blog, their blog design, their content and etc. Besides that, if you saw a highly trafficked blog, you can then consider to subscribe to their posts. This will be very helpful especially if the blog you subscribe is in the same niche as yours. You can also drop comments on other’s blogs. Make more friends in blogsphere. If you drop comments on other’s blogs, most of them will reply you back. This is also an alternative way you can increase your traffic.

13. Always Do Stat Tracking

Another important task you need to do is to track your traffic. You must insert some stat counter in your blog to track your blog traffic. Here are two suggestions:

StatCounter

SiteMeter

Why did you need to know where your traffic come from? Let me give you a brief example. Lets say you check your traffic stat today, and you discover that almost all of your traffic came from goarticles. So what can you do with this information? You can concentrate on writing more articles and submit them to goarticles. This will further boost your traffic. And of course, there are still more features and information you can dig from your traffic stat. This is just one of the example. Know more about your traffic, and you can increase your traffic well.

14. Allow Anyone To Comment

I don’t know whether you’ve allowed anyone to comment in your blog. If you’ve not done so, please allow anyone to be able to drop comment in your blog now. If you’re afraid of people spamming or dropping irritated comments, you can always allow moderation to your comments. You can set this under ‘Setting’. I believe you do want people to say about your blog or your posts right.

15. Give Time For Your Blog

This is what most people failed at. They want quick success in just few days, they want to be a Millionaire in a very short time. This is not possible. Although the internet already serve as a very powerful leveraging tool, but there is no instant success. This is what I think. Everything, needs time to develop. And this include your blogs. If your traffic is not high enough, then maybe your blog is still young. However, how much time do you need to have your blog develop, it will depends on how much effort you’ve pour in. It is always like this, how much time and effort you’ve put into your blog, you will get back the exact rewards from it. Nothing more nothing less.
