Blogging is very popular these days. Instead of building normal websites more and more people are choosing to build blogs. Blogs have some advantages over regular websites.
Often times blogs will rank better in search engines then normal websites.
There are lots of sites that give tips and tricks on making blogs more profitable. Here are some great videos on blogging and making your blog a success.
Blogging tips from an expert blogger
Here are some of the tips the expert in this video says you should employ.
You need to get educated about what you are writing about. He says often times some of the
best blogs have white backgrounds, they are easier to read. Simpler is better, many millions have
been spent by big companies on usability studies, simpler is better. You can look at the big popular
blogs in your niche and mimic their success, (without copying).
Good content is very important, people who go on the internet are looking for good content, you need
to give people what they want. You have to write for readers, not for yourself. Pagerank is not
something you need to worry about, many blogs rank well without a high pagerank. Blogs are automatically
designed to rank well on search engines.
One important thing is your feedreader count. The best way to start a blog is just to start one, and work
at it. Starting a blog is free.
Basic blogging rules
This is an average video, some good tips though.
Rule number 1, news is news, even it is posted elsewhere you can still post it on your blog, people just need to be informed of this news.
Do several posts per day, (atleast 5) this will get your blog noticed. Forums are dead, use comments on your blog, detailed comments are very good. If someone badmouths you in a blog post, you should fight back in your own post.
Blogging tips for beginners
This is a real good video
Please do not promote an empty blog, it is not good. If you only have 1 or 2 posts that is not enough, you need to promote a blog that is full of great content. If you are a beginner you should go to problogger.com, that is where it's at.
Sit down and do 3 to 5 posts a day, that will make a good blog. Good link building is a good idea, post your link whereever you can in good places. Crossposting is free, crosspost as much as you can. Post articles and then crosspost your article.
3 Bloggers share their blog tips
Write content for people not for search engines. Do personal experimentations, and then blog about those experiments. That can be one way of creating great content. Do something different that no one else would do.
Pick a topic and stick with it and own the topic.
3 Successful Blogging Tips
Blogging is not new, blogging is a very efficient way of marketing different content, there really is no excuse not to have a blog.
You need to update your blog daily or very close to daily, content is key, put comments on other blogs. Blogging is a give and take type relationship, you leave comments, and then they will see your comment and then maybe visit your blog.
Daily blog tips
Your blog title should match your domain name. Your blog posts should go in a category, not in a category named something like Uncategorized, you should instead call this category General Stuff, or something to that effect.
It is a good idea to add your categories in your side bar, that way it will be easier to navigate your blog. Having an rss icon on your sidebar is a very good idea, many blogs don't have this.
In your sidebar instead of having a long list of links showing different months of posts, you can have a drop down menu instead. Only put things on your blog that are useful to the reader, don't put things that only you the webmaster can use.
