Blog Tips - 5 Blogging Tips For Success

Blog Tip Number 1
Make sure you post to your 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 the search engines won’t visit as often.The search engines are always looking for new content. A blog that has frequent updates is just the kind of content they love.


Blog Tip Number 2
Start leaving comments on other successful blogs in the same niche or category as your blog. Once you have built a relationship on the other blog you can eventually leave a link back to your site after creating a relationship.


Blog Tip Number 3
Research the most popular blogs within your category; you can use Technorati for your research. Look at what they are doing and try to model their success without copying.You can also subscribe to their RSS feed so that you always know when there is a new post on their blog.


Blog Tip Number 4
Add your links to the blog directories to gain more backlinks.Be sure to claim your blog at Technorati.


Blog Tip Number 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.
