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.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNT FROM GOOD BLOGS- 2010 A YEAR OF REVIEW

It was some one's great inspiration which brought me to blogging.Now reading articles from many blogs on different topics gives me more and more ideas about what the writers are looking to have on their blog and what is extremely popular in a particular niche.Year 2010 was absolutely great showing me great ups and downs and how to fight with circumstances when they are not in your favor and win.This post is basically what I have understood from good bloggers history, how they faced challenges and are now numero uno in their niches respectively.

1.Strive to be Numero Uno

In the early 2000's there was little competition and hence who had considerable posts already enjoyed good amount of success.But it is not the same scenario now.There are many bloggers who started about 2-3 years back and now because of their hard work and smart techniques are successful bloggers in their niche.So this has made me even more tough and prepared for the challenges ahead in 2011.One really has to find how to find the weak link in any niche and attack on that point and get noticed.

2.Patience

One great thing that I noticed is that most of the people who recently came to the blogosphere were having one thing in mind and that is money.Seeing good bloggers earning 6 figure salary through their blogs attracted their attention.But what they are achieving right is a real hard work they put on for 5-6 years and now are reaping benefits.Nobody becomes successful in short time.Perseverance, Hard work and patience is required to survive here.I have seen many bloggers quitting just because they were not successful over a short period of time.

3.The best thing has to be on the home page every time

You should always realize that when people visit your blog you have your best up their every time.They should be able to read just the best stuff and should be able to understand what you wanted to convey through your post easily.

4.Thorough reading, communities and more

The more and more you read and comment on other sites, more you can get in return.Remember that your blog alone cannot be more successful.Having joined many communities and social networking sites makes your blog reach wider audiences and to the next level.

5.Goodwill

A successful bloggers always has the goodwill spread around with his name.You can never read anything negative or uncharacteristic about him.All these are qualities associated with a professional blogger.Hence e should also try and not go off rant in our writing or try and spread wrong information about others.Being able to accept one's shortcomings is what that makes a complete man.

I have already brought these qualities in my everyday life and trying to implement these quality everyday to be more successful.What do you learn after reading from my blog post? Keep your comments flowing in the comments section.

ITS GOOD TO HOLD BACK YOUR KILLER POST BACK SOMETIMES

Growing a readership is something that takes hard work and a little luck. Sure, sites like Digg and Reddit can greatly expand your readership overnight, but it’s really the way you craft your posts that will help the most with growing your blog. A bangin’ post is worth 10 mediocre ones any day. But unfortunately for most of us, in order to write a great post you have to be a… decent writer.

Becoming a better writer should be every blogger’s goal. Better writers can craft posts in a way that a) get their point across quicker and b) connect with the audience more effectively. No matter what your content, your audience will always benefit from better writing. And if your audience is happy, you’ll be happy too.

The darnedest thing about blog content is that you can have the most amazing post in the world, but if you can’t create mildly decent sentences with proper spelling and grammar, nobody’s going to listen to you

If you’re not a great writer yet, don’t stress. Improving your writing skills comes mostly from practice and reading other great writers. But I've found that the most effective way to improving my blogging has been to just let my posts sit. If I sleep on a post, odds are it will be much better than had I just hit “Publish”. You see, most of the blogging enjoyment comes after the writing is done.

Once you've stopped typing you've only just begun the writing process. Read it through, at least a couple times. Odds are each time you read it through, you’ll pick up on stuff that could be worded better, or explained more, or even taken out completely. Don’t be afraid to let something sit overnight, or even longer. Think of your post as like a cheese that just gets better with age.

You don’t want to let your posts sit too long though. At this point your fine cheese has turned a little too green. I wouldn't recommend letting your posts “percolate” more than a week. Some people can pull it off, but for me I lose interest in the original topic too quickly, and most of my original ideas are gone.

So when you start to craft your next post, let it sit for a bit and see what happens. I guarantee your quality of writing will increase. And if your blog’s quality increases, so will your readership.

A BAD CORPORATE PRESENTATION CAN ALSO TEACH SO MUCH ABOUT BLOGGING

I was attending the corporate presentation for a big IT company having the induction presentation for its employees.Being such a reputed company my expectations were certainly high.But it is indeed interesting to know that our corporate lives also teach us so many good things for other professions and hobbies like blogging.

It was a great pleasure to be a part of the induction ceremony but the real fun started when the man started to give presentation about the company details, history, work culture ethics and other particulars.It was always my dream to be a part of the big organisation with such good ethos about its employees.But I was a bit disappointed after the presentation was over.The details were not clearly visible on the PowerPoint slides,too many unnecessary data present and skipping of slides.The speaker himself was not well prepared as it was evident the way he speaking in front of the large crowd with some nervousness.All in all things could have been much better if they really wanted to create a good impression in the minds of people joining the company on their first day.But this experience has certainly become a lesson as to how one should present himself to any reader or audience through his blog.

1.Good organisation

Even if the matter that you write is high class but you do not have the correct presentation then you might suffer badly even after having an extremely good content.Thus good organization is the first stepping stone to success.In case of my above example, I mentioned the disorganisation of content on the slides just took the interest out of the whole presentation.

2.Do not feed too much of information

Referring to my example, there were lots of data present on the slides that the readers were not able to digest easily.too much of facts and figures for a small topic is not needed really if you ask for my opinion.It just creates a bit of confusion in the readers regarding the inter relations of the facts.

3.Try explaining the background accurately and effectively

Even though you may feel that the same content is present on almost very site present in the same niche but still you should try and present a small descriptive background before you reach to the actual matter of the blog.This creates a good impression on the readers that you have in depth knowledge about what your writing and readers will keep coming to your blog.

4.Conclusion?

We have so many things happening around us that can be taken as a lesson,motivation and encouragement to do things better for yourself and for others.Please do not write indigestible stuffs for the audience or just fill up lines only for the sake of writing content.If your post has what those fast scanning eyes of the readers want then you have a fair share of readers to your blog.It is all these small things that make you a class apart from others.

BLOGGING BECOMES SUCCESSFUL WITH 4 C'S

A large survey of good sites and reading their content is sometimes so much essential when you do not have much to write for your own.Buzzing through the topics and closely observing key points mentioned in the posts you can derive several ideas which can be converted into a series of posts.The organised fashion of writing and maintaining the blog is what separates the best from the other rookies.

The following four C's are so crucial that if you have all of them then your blogging success is almost certain i n the near future.These 4 C's are:

1.Content

Success always depends on some crucial factors and for any blogger to succeed in the blogosphere, the content is the most important element.You can refer to my post on how to create good content for more details.What people write from their heart is most liked by people all round the world and not scraps being written only for money.Content with good expression and presentation still rules.I was not a good writer right since my school days but slowly over the past 15 months I have improved a lot in my writing skills and grammar but their is still a lot of improvement to be done so that my posts are just great for anyone to read.I guess that a successful writer is always capable of holding people through his way of writing style and use of words.Now you would surely understand how important good content is for any blog.

2.Consistency

By consistency I want to say that you have to consistent in your posting.A good blog blooms better over a period of time only when a writer has put in the hard work to update his blog every day.Its not a compulsion that you have to churn out many posts every day and this will never happen also.You have to decide what re you comfortable with and accordingly pace yourself to be consistent.Remember that Search engines also like to index those blogs which are updated every day.

3.Community

Social networking is the order of the year for 2010 and will be the same for 2011 unless something new appears to be more appealing to the readers and b;loggers.Try raising your voice and your blog through these community sites and I ma sure that even those sites which were not able to generate readers for 10-12 even after having good amount of content on their blog have started generating good traffic through by the use of Technorati, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Stumble Upon and many other such sites.

Also important thing to consider is that link building should also be performed by bloggers to earn good page rank and Search Engine Optimization for their sites.Many bloggers initially miss the trick by going only for content on their blog and later on suffer for lack of back links to their sites and hence their page rank is lower although they have good enough alexa web rank.

4.Comments

Its always give and then take relationship in blogging.Even if you have to give out more than what you take ,it should not matter for you as long as you enjoy it.I have seen good bloggers always going to the site not known much and still reading their ideas and commenting on their posts to improve their writing style.So it has to be understood that you should once again start commenting on any blog that you like and not just not on the popular ones.I think keeping these strong commenting habits will surely help to give you long term profit.

I guess these were by far the broad factors on which success of any blog depends.There might be more that one would like to say so do not hesitate and try to shell out some precious words of yours.

The benefits of regularly updating your website are as under:

1.Long tail Search Traffic

When a website has regular content it helps in receiving more precise "long tail" keyword searches from search engines that cannot be attracted through regular SEO.

2. Faster indexing

Most search engines catalog news and blog sites faster than normal websites there fore regular updates on websites will determine more frequent traffic and indexed faster by search engine spiders.

3.Generates discussion

Blogs, articles and news often receive comments from interested customers which in turn often creates discussion and user contribution on the website. Comments also become worthy as free content and are often indexed and ranked by search engines.

Informative, articulate articles about business, products or services will promote readers to find out about services. This has been a tried and tested method of sales marketing.

USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO FIND NEW READERS FOR YOUR BLOG - PART 1

The most awesome and informative post is only as good as the number of relevant people who see it. Promoting your content is a key element for blog success. If you share your content strategically it will keep your faithful readers returning often and can expand your audience exponentially. Here are a few best practices for getting shared and conversing through social media.

1. Write content that is share-worthy

No one is going to pass along a post that is mediocre. Make sure that you give your readers valuable news and/or perspectives. In short, give them content that they are proud to share and to be associated with.

2. Continuously grow your networks

The sad truth is that as your contacts grow their networks they may lose sight of you. In order to make sure that you always have fresh people paying attention go out and proactively follow/friend request new people who are interested in the content you are sharing.

3. Craft your update carefully -

Avoid cliche words and common sales-pitch terms. Also try alerting them to whom this content is for. People are busy and not everything you share is relevant to everyone.

4. Encourage comments

Posts with a lively comment trail are good for a number of reasons. From a social media perspective you are more likely to get shares from commenters who now feel a part of the post.Comments also confirm to all readers that the post is interesting and worth noting, making them feel better about sharing it with their own networks.

5. Spread out your shares and avoid syncing your networks

If you have a presence on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, don’t syndicate your update across all sites. Chances are that you have people connected to you on more than one platform, and if they see the same content, presented in the same way, they are likely to see you as spammy. Instead craft an update that speaks to the nature of the platform and spread out your sharing across a few hour time-span. (Don’t wait too long though, because even the best

posts can become old fast).

The second part in this series will talk about the other techniques and practices to follow to attract more visitors to your blog.

WHAT TO FOCUS WHILE LOOKING FOR SEO

Here are some important SEO tips for bloggers to follow:

1. Focus on unique content only. Even if you are approached by a PR person with the “ready-made” press release or product review for you to “just copy and paste”, take a few minutes to retell the contents of the release with your own words and express your own opinion. This will make your blog voice stronger in the community, your style more recognizable by readers and your content more valuable for search bots. Remember, Google only values unique content!

2. Link to your previously published posts. Search bots discover and index your posts by following links. Thus, before publishing a post, make sure to drill down to your previously published articles, find relevant ones and link to them from within the new content. This will also encourage readers to browse to your older posts and motivate them to stay on your blog (Take advantage of “Related posts” and interlinking plugins to automated the process but don’t forget to link to your posts manually from within the post content as well).

3. Linking to posts on other blogs is another smart idea. Linking is the foundation of your online connections.Bloggers are always eager to know who links to them. They will most surely discover your track backs, go to your website, browse, comment… and also link back to you! So link generously and get discovered (Wordpress plugins like Zemanta and Arkayne could be a great help here as well).

4. Never link to suspicious sites. While linking in general is highly appreciated, linking to “bad neighborhoods” may get you into trouble. What is a “bad neighborhood”? Just a couple of months spent online will teach you. Those are various health- or gambling-related resources which are likely to send a spam email to your inbox. Be careful who you link to.

5. Make sure that your pages are lightweight. Google has started to incorporate the page load speed into its algorithm but that’s not the only reason to care about your page size. Neither people nor search bots will be able to go through your website in full if each page loads terribly slowly. Besides, taking care of your blog load speed isn’t that hard: choose a good reliable hosting provider, make sure your images and files you upload are less than 100K and install some caching plugin (especially if you have a lot of pages already).

SEO is about making your blog easy to go through, visible and useful enough so that even a search bot can understand your main points and find it usable enough to rank high in search results. At the same time you’ll be producing content that people can value and link to. You don’t need to pretend being good – you can achieve much more by actually being good.

Blogging with Search Engines in Mind ----- Part 1

Search Engine Optimization (commonly referred to as SEO) has its roots in efforts by webmasters to make their websites easy to access and crawl by search engines. The concept has been evolving into something much bigger and broader than simply making websites “crawlable” by the machines. SEO has started to cover usability issues, conversion tactics, backlink acquisition and more. Most SEO experts, including Google engineers, agree that the blog is an area that holds great leverage in all aspects of SEO.

Remember: search bots only “see” text and keywords, they are straightforward and, well, they are machines.Your primary task is to make your blog easy to understand and interpret even for those robots. Three basics:

• Create a clear navigation and naturally link to your old content and posts.

• Create natural keyword prominence: have your important words in the “prominent” places.

• Make your pages lightweight for people and bots to load easily.

SEO Terms that all bloggers should know:

1. Title Tag

The title of each post is of crucial importance. Not only will it grab your readers’ attention and prompt them to read further, the page title is also the most “prominent” place to showcase your important keywords:

• Title tags are displayed in search results (this is the linked part of Google search engine listing)

• Title tags are used by search bots to “understand” the main topic of the page

Make sure to create catchy and attention-grabbing titles AND include some post-specific details in them. Helpful details might include the product you are reviewing, the person you are interviewing, the place you are describing, or the market you are covering. These “details” can help to get your post to appear in relevant searches.

Some best practices and rules:

• All title tags throughout the site should be unique

• Title tags should be preferably no longer than 70 characters (including spaces)

• Page titles should be specific and contain your main keyword(s) – to help Googlebot understand what the page is about.

Part 2 of this series will be about discussing Meta description and URL structure.

22. Use the right keywords. Leverage Google's keyword tool to find the terms that your customers are looking for.

23. Post your blog on social bookmarking sites like Digg, Reddit and Sphinn.

24. Don't hide your RSS button. If prospects like your blog, they might want to subscribe via email or RSS. Don't hide those buttons.

25. Create a list of favorite bloggers relevant to your market. Then notify them that they made the list. If the list is good, they'll promote it, and possibly comment.

26. Use numbers in your title. I found out that most popular posts almost always included a number in them (i.e. 9 steps, 4 types, etc.).

27. Comment on other blogs. It's hard to be a blogger if you don't share. Show your expertise on other blogs and leave valuable feedback.

28. Link to your other posts within your current post.

29. Go back to older posts and add new links to current posts.

30. Don't over complicate your site. Make it easy for people to get around and share.

Its often worth to have good amount of ideas in your mind well before you decide to write down content for your blog.How does one get more ideas and knowledge? Well its pretty simple that more knowledge and ideas will come only if you have exposure to different topics around the Internet.Always having a knack of keeping yourself updated with the hottest topic to be is very essential.

Exploring different sites and blog that come around your niche of blogging then its not quite difficult to have new ideas and post about them from your perspective.You can find more topics more easily by using special blog tools and social networking sites like Technorati,Mybloglog,Blogcatalog etc.;The relative articles of interest from the chosen blogger sites end up giving you that required edge to continue posting good amount of content on your site.

Also, it is important to note down that if you really find the article interesting and inspiring then you can yourself rewrite that article providing the reference of the original writer by linking to that post.In this way the sentiments of the original writer is not hurt and you also get a mention from the original writer.

NEWBIES HELP YOURSELF GUYS

Although my brother started this thing on his own blog and has become successful through his blog,I wanted to try and bring out the true story in front of everyone about blogging and never wanted to just keep on posting for the sake of money and never will do it.

I would like to discuss through this post some key points that the new bloggers should have in mind to have a good launch to their blogging.So just read on the following key points to help yourself.

1.Read and study a lot on blogging.

The blogging world is so vast as of now that you see thousands of new bloggers almost everyday.So what if others are there you are there to stand out in the crowd of millions.Before starting your blog read and understand what style of blogging do you wanna start with.Whether it is about personal or the make money online theme or technology blog or the pet blog or something else that is there in your mind try to read out blogs of the theme that you want to move forward to and study them carefully.That will give you a very good idea of how to start your blog afresh from them.

2.Start simple

Initially when you start just be as simple as you can and try to touch simpler topics to launch your blog.Getting advanced in one day will not do.Try to settle yourself down and then move into the more complex matter and topics.

3.Regular posting

Once you start the blog try to be as regular in your posting as possible to keep the interest going and so also the number of posts that increase day by day.A good amount of posts on a blog ensure that you have most topics covered and visitors also invariably land on your blog through search engines and other places if you use the keywords and tags properly.

4.Low on confidence?

If you do not feel comfortable about some topic that is there in your mind then its better to rather think about it for some more time rather that producing a sub standard post and publishing it on the main page.

5.Write your posts in the points and list form

A good organised post in point form will always please the eye.

6.Join Social networking communities and promote your blog better

A number of places have come up over the years to help new bloggers to promote their blog and posts over a wide range of readers.Joining twitter, facebook (networked blogs) , entrecard, digg , stumble upon, blogfrog like places to name a few will surely be of much help to you.

7.Your post should be of some quality

I have stressed this point earlier as well that when you want to post about any topic then you should definitely try and think over it before you write down the post.Please keep in mind that the language used should be simple, should not abuse anyone through your blog nor praise too much and should not be negatively centred on the topic.

8.Keep your article safe

Always try and maintain your article in some form as if some problems occur then you should have the post ready again for publishing.I always write my posts in text document and then publish it online .

Another good thing to understand is that when you end do have a good message attached to the post or some discussion type or questions asked to the readers to attract more comments and other activities.Hope you would have understood these points carefully.

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PAID BLOG POST WRITER.

Wham! I have seen many writers wanting to earn money through paid blog post apply for every topic that is available even if they do not have any sort of idea for that topic.The following few crucial note points might just help you out to be a better paid post writer and in a way bring more opportunities for your blog.

1.Be active

Try and be quick to grab opportunities available which are of your interest or on which you have written much previously since there are many writers available on the Internet and you might just miss out a good one.But do not rush into something that you do not know very well or else you might end up writing a low grade content your future opportunities from that site might take a backseat.

2.Be disciplined and follow instructions

Try and understand the need of the advertiser who wants to write a site or product review or a promotional post on your blog.Try to use good, catchy and simple language without grammatical errors to avoid any rejection from the advertiser as nobody likes to get his hard work rejected from someone.Also try to put the specified links in a manner that it is in the highlighted portion of your post and easily seen.I guess this the best way to get a post accepted quickly from the advertiser.

3.Sell yourself better

I have seen many people apply for the paid post sites with not so good content at their homepage and the archive link that they give.Please understand that you are selling your talent to the others and hence if you really want to have a better rate of having your site accepted and having a good inflow of paid reviews then the quality of your post as well as the language has to spot on and extremely good.

4.Be to the point

Most advertisers want you to have a post written in about 200 words.I have seen many writers start of in weird fashion writing stuff that they should not in the starting paragraph.once you do this it kills the interest and advertiser most probably rejects your post.Please formulate a pattern and then start writing the post so that the flow is there and you end up having a good quality content for the advertiser and it will in turn help you get more opportunities in the future from the same advertiser.

5.Be different

Its your ability that would make you stand out from the rest of others who are also there in the race.By following above points you will improve but it is also the job of a person to elevate himself and his blog above the level so that he stands out from the rest in the crowd and demands instant attention.
