Are you a Social or a Hermit Blogger? My Tips for New Bloggers out there!
Having a great looking blog and writing great content for it just won’t cut it anymore. Ten (or so) years ago when blogging (or web logging as it was known back then) took off it was quite easy to build your blogs audience, reputation and authority.
Of course having a great looking blog and writing great content is of course important, but especially if you’re a new blogger building your blogs audience can be an uphill struggle and can be quite disheartening if you have put a lot of effort into your blog and not seeing any return on your investment.
I have recently set up a third blog that’s all about my other obsessive hobby of birds and birding. And as yet I have not got an audience for it but I am quite lucky as over the years I have learned a few lessons when building your blogs audience, rank and authority. So to that end I am going to share with you in this first post for Andy’s Comment Luv Network a few tips on building your blogs audience.
- Post Often, my numero uno rule when blogging is to publish posts often by that I mean setting a timetable of publishing posts. As your audience will come to expect to see posts by you at certain times of the week. Start of small and post once a week at the same time and day as the week before, then as your confidence grows you can post more often but once you do that never drop back to just one post a week as you can lose a chunk of your following that way. Make sure you don’t fall back on posting when going away on Holiday (vacation), Phil Lusted a fellow Blogger has written on this very subject HERE
- SEO, Spell check and grammertize your posts, the first thing I always do is to write my posts in word. To check for any spelling and grammar mistakes as not doing this can not only be embarrassing for you but you’re not helping your blogs authority as well as looking unprofessional. WordPress has 2 great features for seo. The first is the ability to send trackbacks to other sites related to your topic. Not only is this great for others by sending link luv but is also great for building your blogs backlinks. The second is to use the tags feature. Post certain keywords and phrases when posting. One more thing I have not mentioned is a great plugin called the all in one seo pack that can be found HERE.
- Pinging and Bookmarking. Of course you should all know about using Facebook and Twitter to let the world know about your blog but here is a list of sites you can use to build your blogs audience! They are all pretty self explaintiory and free to use as well. Technorati is a must for all bloggers, BizSugar, delicious, Digg, MyBlogGuest and CommentLuv as well as these you can also get immediate traffic by pinging your posts with these sites here: Pingler, Ping-O-Matic, Feedping and
