Creating a Popular Blog - Part II

Whether you blog on a blogging network or you have an
independently hosted blog, you need to make sure your blog is
designed well.

It is true that content is king and if a blog has great content is may
receive lots of traffic even though it is ugly. Having a well designed
blog that is not ugly or annoying will help to drive repeat traffic. You
want your blog to look unique, but not too unique. Keep with Internet
formalities such as blue links and use large font for headings.

You should break your post up into small paragraphs each with a
headline if possible as internet readers tend to scan the screen looking
for relevant information rather than reading everything word for word.

Make sure your colors do not contrast too harshly and that the text is
easy to read. Using good design will make your blog aesthetically
pleasing and make readers more likely to come back and remain on
your page.

No matter where your blog is hosted, you should try to get it
indexed by all the major search engines. Some forms of blog
monetization require that your blog be indexed by search engines
before they will allow you to participate in your program. The higher
ranked your blog is, the more visitors you will receive and the more
popular your blog will become.

All forms of monetization for your blog require readers to work
successfully. Before you try to implement your monetization
strategies, make sure your blog has enough readers to make your
efforts work. If there is no one to click your ads, visit your affiliate
sites, or read your reviews, you do not stand much of a chance of
making money.

Creating a Popular Blog - Part 1

If you want to make money through blogging, creating a popular
blog is the key to success. If your blog receives very little traffic, you
will not have much success monetizing it.

No matter which method you use to make money from your blog, you
will find the most success if you have a large readership. Because
of this, making your blog popular and growing readership should be
one of your primary concerns.

There are many ways to make your blog more popular. The first
thing you should consider is who your audience is and who you are
writing for. You should always write about something that interests
you, and that will interest others.

You may think that your new kitten is the greatest thing since sliced
bread, but there are probably not very many other people who want
to read a blog about it. It is best to find a niche audience that is large
enough to support a wide readership but not too vague.

One of the great things about blogging is that you do not have to
be a professional writer to have a popular blog. You do have to obey
common grammatical rules and at least be able to put together
coherent sentences, but you do not have to be a highly skilled writer.

Blog readers are looking for interesting, relevant topics to read,
not the next work of Shakespeare. Make sure what you write is
interesting, edgy, or even controversial.

Popular blogs are never boring and add value to reader’s lives
either through information or entertainment. Make sure your blog
adds something of value to your reader’s life otherwise you will
not develop a large fan base.

Making your blog popular is a lot like driving traffic to a website.
You can use many of the same techniques to drive traffic to your blog.
Finding places to link back to your blog is a good way to drive traffic.

Social sites such as Myspace, Facebook, and You Tube provide lots of
opportunities for this. You can also use social book marking sites such
as Reddit, StumbleUpon, and Digg to promote your blog. Blogging on
a popular blog site such as Wordpress and Blogger are also good ways
to make your blog more popular as these blogging sites help to bring
in traffic for your blog.
