The whole point of having a blog is so that you can bring information in an easily digestible form to the people who are looking for it.


Bloggers want other people to read what they have written or posted.
To get people to read your blog you need to get traffic to your blog and one of the best ways to get traffic is with your title.

Blogging Tips – How to optimise your title in 6 easy steps



1. Use your keywords up front

Keywords are the words that you use to describe your niche and they are also the words that people use to search for information.
When Google or any of the other search engines go looking for information they look at the first few words of your title.

Successful Blogs

The best way to learn how to have a successful blog is to review other blogs that are proven success stories. To do this I recommend that you visit a site called Bloglines.com

Do a search to find blogs that are similar to your blog and review each to see what they are doing. It’s easy to tell if a blog is doing well by how often they are updating and how many comments each blog post receives.

Blog Links

Take another trip back to Bloglines.com/dir and do a search again for blogs within a similar genre as your blog but not necessarily identical. Start replying to some of the blog posts made, giving your thoughts about the post or topic. Do this a few times with various blogs, then once you’ve done it on a regular occasion end your post with a signature link that goes to your site. Take note do *NOT* do this in the initial stages or with your first post. You must first acquire a relationship with the blogs, first by posting comments and leaving positive feedback. After gaining trust you can simply place a link with your next post comment. We recommend replying at least 5 to 10 times before attempting to place a link.
