5 Blogging Tips To Success

1) Blog Frequently, at least a few times per week. The biggest mistake made by bloggers is to let weeks or even months go by without blogging. If your blog is not being updated it will no longer be considered “sweet” to the search engines, by that I mean it will be considered a “dead” blog and they won’t visit as often.


2) Start leaving comments on other successful blogs, and then eventually leave a link back to your site after creating a relationship.


3) Research the most popular blogs within your category; you can use Bloglines.com for your research. Look at what they are doing and try to model their success without copying.


4) Add your links to the blog directories to gain more backlinks.


5) Monitor your web stats to see where your traffic is originating. It is important that you use a web stats program that can show you how many people are “bookmarking” your site. A good bookmark ratio is a good sign that people are interested in your blog and have plans on re-visiting it.


Follow these steps and you will be moving forward with a very successful blog. Please remember each blog post does not have to be pages in length. It can be as little as one to two paragraphs. Keep in mind that whatever you post should be valuable to the user and elicit a response.

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.
