How to write excellent posts,even after a long gap........

Its been a long time since my previous post in Feb 2011.But this has not made my passion go away.Instead I tried to find out time and content for my blog.Getting to the point then this post is all about how we can keep churning out good quality post even after taking a long break.Following are some interesting tips that i have learned after searching numerous content on the internet on how to make your posts more appealing to the readers,regardless of content,time and topic.

1.Thumb rule for any post that you write anytime on your blog

Try and avoid sentences and topics in a particular paragraph that do not have :
a) Ideas that makes readers read your blog more.
b) Ideas that readers want to read on your blog.

Your introductory paragraph should be as such that it describes the theme of your post.Readers should get exact idea what are they going to have while reading the introductory summary.Its said that Well beginning is half done.Apply this from the next time you write down.

2.Your post should be comprehensive of your Ideas



What you abstract about your post content in your introductory paragraph,make sure you have entire coverage of those in the main body of your post.Actually your readers should get slightly more than what you expect.This will make you have readers coming to your blog more often and it shows the quality that you have on your blog.

3.Long posts should be carefully handled

When writing long posts we should have them styled with bold sub headings and interesting punches.Often while reading long posts reader searches for required content through headings and sub headings.So making a well organized post is your topmost responsibility as a blogger.

4.Something different

Who likes reading a dull content with no images or artwork to support it.We haven't liked in our schools and nor do we on the internet.So try adding images to support your ideas,clearly formatted paragraphs,bold sentences to highlight the main ideas.

5.Personal touch

Until its a description of your own experience,who would like to read the mechanical stuff.The "I" factor in a post and the description from your experience is that amuses other readers to read the stuff.

Hey guys it was a long time ago when I wrote my last post but still I have decided to get posts on every weekend.Its a big effort to keep your blog regularly updated but if you are passionate ,you would do all the needful.

27 new lessons to get 1000 unique visitors to your blog everyday--- Part 1

The methods and lessons I am sharing with you worked for me for around 3 weeks till I lost the plot due to my college activities and have to build the momentum once again.I do believe that if these worked for me,it should definitely work for you as well.

1.Stand up
To become popular requires great skill in person and abilities to reach out to a wider audience.If one is chasing someone and not able to defeat or get past him then one should still try out to solve problems for people on forums and communities so that people keep coming back to you in future as well.Also standing out in your niche is what that makes you differentiated from the crowd.

2.Blogging by heart
Many have just screamed in the blogosphere because they see blogging as a source of income.People have stopped writing by heart and it has become more mechanical rather ideas from heart.People don't do it for their enjoyment purpose and as their hobby.This way Nothing great will happen to those who are starting recently.Only do blogging if you love doing it and be ready for investing lots and lots of time.Its only then someone gains some popularity.

3.RSS subscription options
People who give variety of options for RSS subscription on their blog make it that much easier for people to subscribe to their posts.

4.Full subscription please!
It can be a point of debate but I prefer people giving full feed of their posts.Its better that people read your than those who just subscribe your blog and forget about it.

5.Decision of posting
Its is a sure thing that regularly updating your blog will help to get better position in search engine traffic.But if you think that you are not confident about a post,try thinking over it again for sometime.If you are still not convinced then try to give up your idea of publishing your post as a bad post is never good for your blog.

6.Take a break
Taking break in between after regularly churning out good content is essential as it brings your focus back.I have had few breaks in between which has kept me going still.Try and realize how much is good for you and what is not.

In my next post I would discuss with you next 6 ideas to get quite a good number of unique visitors per day.

NEW WAYS TO INCREASE BLOG TRAFFIC THIS 2011

It difficult to get this thing out of my mind."I want traffic badly!". But can you think out of box and try to find out new ways to have more visitors to your blog.Its 2011 now and people have to think out different ways to outsmart others to get the visitors to their blog.This post aims at discussing 5 critical points which can help you in this regard.

1.Use search engine potential to the fullest

A long time myth that is repeated on every blog that search engine traffic is what that matters more to every blogger.Getting his pages indexed on the first page of search engines is what that makes any blogger happy.One should try to utilise the search engine's potential to the fullest to have quality traffic to your blog.It is possible by having four things that is content, correct keywords,links and code.By having these things in proper place,one can achieve great results that others cannot.

2.Keep your eyes wide open

You have to be constantly aware of what is the hot topic in the blogging world and should not hesitate to join in the conversation and also include that in your blog.Sometimes people feel that the content is on every one's blog and hence they might not get the traffic through this content and neglect.but this is not the thing to be done and keep yourself at it.You can in fact generate some interlinks from that same topic.

3.Create some immediate buzz

Using social networking potential like twitter, facebook,delicious,digg and reditt you can have good people coming instantly to your blog.If your post is something that is not there on others site then you can receive immediate jump in visitors to you site.However this maybe short term but is important to decrease your alexa ranking.

4.Try linking

Including links in your post referring to other sites who have the similar content shows off the link love and your willingness to share for no return.That makes others to also return the favour automatically.It is a long term process and requires some patience but is sure to work.

5.Keep posting

Be regular and keep posting on your blog.Having more pages indexed with different topics and keywords are sure to land up your blog to the top on search engine results.

Views expressed here are mine and I do not hesitate in saying that above mentioned techniques may also backfire for some.But one who dares to achieve the results is the ultimate winner.

This is the final installment in the series on how to attract readers to your blog this new year.You can always refer to Part 1, Part 2 and part3 for more details.

19. Guest Bloggers

Try inviting others to write for your blog and thus improve the content over your blog.As more people come to know that you have other good writers writing for your blog then you can always have more people coming to your blog for quality content.

20. Get Links from Other Blogs

Getting mentioned on other sites and blogs in the same niche, I think, has been the best way to get a readership who keeps returning to a blog. Make contact with other bloggers in yoru niche via comments, email, AIM, skype, homing pigeons – whatever.

21. Newsletters

The Zookoda newsletter provides nice spikes and people tend to forward the newsletter to their friends.

22. Social Networks

Submit your story to Digg and reddit and, regardless of whether it makes the front page or not, you get 50-100 free hits. The easiest way to generate quick exposure. Failing that, comment frequently on blogs that you like. With any luck, the blog author will want to find out more about you, follow the link to your blog, and perhaps write a post referencing one of your posts.

23. Pitch Your Posts

I view other bloggers as a PR pros view journalists working in traditional media. I reach out to bloggers using tactics successfully employed in the world of professional media relations. For instance, I “pitch” specific posts that they might find adds value to topics they are writing about. I also send email introducing them to my blog, but only if there’s a good fit between my blog and theirs. The key is to be very selective in approaching the “media gatekeeper”–just as successful and smart media relations people do.

I hope you would have liked and learned important tricks to attract visitors to your site in 2011.Happy new year and merry Christmas.
