I've come up with 27 secrets to the success of my blog.
1. two of the most important things I think are: a. Your articles help people solve problems. This is the most powerful force in attracting repeat visitors to your blog.B. Make your blog stand out from the rest. There are thousands of blogs on the Internet, if your blog does not have its own characteristics, can not stand out from the many blogs, it will be drowned in the vast sea of the network.
2, do not always think about blogging to make money. Don't spend all day envying how much money others have made blogging. Blogging requires your talent, patience and perseverance, only those who really like to write and have views to share will be successful. In the first two or three years of time, do not consider your blog to make money on this matter.
3、Put the link to the RSS feed in a prominent position, as much as possible to facilitate readers to subscribe to your blog.
4, let the RSS feed shows the full text. Maybe after doing so, your site traffic will be reduced, but remember: someone to read your articles than no one to read your articles to be good.
5, if you have doubts about an article you have written and are not sure if it is a good article, don't publish it yet, and after a day, if you are still not sure, don't publish it. A very poor level of article will make your readers mind question: this blog is so low, is it still worth reading?
Be prepared for 3-4 months of blogging to drain you of inspiration. Stick to writing high quality original articles, do not put some picky, unreadable articles on your blog. Insist, insist, insist again, inspiration is coming.
7. It is also important to get to know people in your circle. Wonderful articles will attract more and more repeat visitors to your blog, but in the beginning, you need a "webmaster group" or the like to help each other promote your blog. Dare to contact bloggers with similar themes to yours, and you will find that when you share your best posts with them, they will be very receptive.
8, give the article a seductive title, write more articles such as ten tips, a hundred secrets and so on, so that your article will soon become the most popular article on social networking sites. This is the best way to promote your blog.
Put more effort into the title and the beginning of your article, so that readers can't stop reading after reading the title and the first few sentences. As long as the beginning of your article to attract readers, the rest of the part even if unimpressive does not matter much.
10. Invite relatives, friends and netizens to vote for your article on social networking sites, or ask them to promote your article. It may seem like a bit of cheating, but trust me, everyone else is doing it.
11: Don't make every article you write for the purpose of posting it to social networking sites, that way your readers will get bored too. One of my favorite very powerful bloggers' posts never made it to the front page of Digg or Reddit. While it's easiest to get traffic through social networking sites, remember: these sites represent only a small fraction of the online community.
12. Review every comment carefully, listen to good advice, and laugh off unreasonable ones. You are the master of your territory, if you want to make every reader is satisfied with the words, obviously unrealistic.
13, don't be superstitious authority, in the article to annoy people also does not matter, as long as what you say is correct. Take every opportunity to make your blog stand out, and if your article doesn't have any fresh ideas, you might as well not write at all.
14: Write articles with a different perspective. Even if the content you're going to write about is very valuable, make sure that your perspective is different from others. If your article's point of view and the public's point of view is no different, then there is no appeal to the reader.
15, do not easily exchange links with others, if these links to your readers can not provide anything of value, then what is the point of exchanging links?
16. Combine your life with the subject matter of your blog, people are happy to read about their personal experiences and it can be a constant source of creativity for you.
17, Make your articles cause readers to think, this will deepen their impression of your blog.
18, Do not fill your page with Google ads, until there is a huge traffic, attracting more readers is more valuable than placing those ads that cost 20 cents per click.
19, focus on the design of the blog. If the design of the blog is too ugly, people may take a look at it and close it. If the blog layout, layout is not reasonable, readers are tired of reading, they will also quickly leave. A well-designed blog will let readers have a refreshing feeling, and get a good browsing experience.
20: Going to other people's blogs and commenting on them is not an effective way to do this. Write a quality article and then email it to bloggers who have a similar topic to yours and request that your article be published on their blogs, which will bring you immeasurable results.
21: Accumulate responses to comments on blogs, especially those that don't align with your article's point of view. It is easy to create a discussion atmosphere in your blog, and shows that you value your readers' feedback and opinions.
Indulging in reading the success stories of other bloggers or checking your own blog's statistics every day will not bring any traffic to your blog. Might as well spend some more time in can improve their blog traffic on the things, such as writing more high-quality articles, to the relevant forum posting promotion and so on.
23, if you have achieved certain results, do not go to show off, in good faith to share your experience with others.
24, more use of offline activities, such as blog carnival, etc.. This is the easiest way to get readers and links before your blog is famous, and through this method, my blog made it into the top 5,000 of the Technorati blog list.
25, Have links to your best articles appear prominently on every page of your blog, so that every viewer can easily see them.
26, You can learn a lot by reading more how-to blogs, especially the technical ones. Do not always rigidly, if so, even if you do not leave a bad impression on the readers of your blog, but your blog will also be anonymous.
27, carefully implement those methods that work to promote your blog. Be sincere to each and every reader. If you're not sincere with your readers, your blog won't last long because people will soon see through that.
