Optimization for Blogs!

One of the first questions from novice bloggers is how to attract people to their blog. Keep on reading and you will know it in a minute!

First, choose your domain name wisely and start with quality content on a specific topic. Keep it simple and make sure the division on the blog is ordered and logical. Work with headings and make important words or sentences bold. Identify a few keywords for the topic that will get indexed highly by Google, use internal links, and update your blog regularly. The more a blog is updated the more people return and the better Search Engines can find it! Only write about one topic per post, put the most interesting information at the top of the page and don't make the length of the article too long. Research shows that longer articles can have a pretty steep drop off rate in readers after the text gets below the 'fold'. Finally, advertise the blog via Twitter, email and comments on other blogs and let the blogosphere know you've arrived and have something to say!
