7 Ingredients which Can Help You to Improve Your Blog Content!
Many bloggers ask me about how we can produce content which can attract visitors. Read on this blog post of mine to know about 7 ingredients which can help you to improve your blog content.
We all know the most important factor behind the success of any blog and that is the content of the website. No matter how much money you spend on advertising your website or how much SEO efforts you put on your site, everything is a waste if you don’t have good quality content on your site.
Similarly when it comes about blog, no matter how big your name is, but if you are unable to produce high quality content then everything else is a waste. People will visit your blog, but then won’t stick around it.
So how can we make impressive content for our blog?
This question usually comes in the mind of any newbie blogger, and sometimes in the mind of experienced bloggers as well. Although I have written a few blogs on similar topics like how to write killer blog posts for your blog and how to write an eye catching and great blog post. But then these are the ways which I described on the above two blogs, but I never mentioned the ingredients which has the ability to produce impressive content and liked by mass.
So here we go with some of the ingredients which have the ability to produce impressive contents for your blog if mixed in good proportion. Though before going ahead with these things, let me tell you all a secret, if you think that your content is not that great, you need not to worry about it, as every blogger becomes mature with time.
More you will blog; you will become a better blogger. Remember with time only you can learn the things which can make you a great blogger.
I guess I mentioned about it in one of my recent blog on how to become an authority blogger as well. No matter which industry you selected for your blog, but honesty is the main ingredient required to make it a success.
Make sure that you should provide the same information in your blog which you are promising to your readers. It should not be something like your title is on Michael Jackson and you are giving blogging tips in that blog.
Be cautious with the links on your blog, it should not land to a page which does not exists or provide something else which is mentioned on the anchor text of the link. Visitors normally felt them cheated with such things. Such things can reduce the user satisfaction level, thus SEO points as well.
The best SEO advice which I can ever give to any blog is to write for your readers. Many bloggers are not at all aware about what their readers want to read from their blog. This becomes one of the prime reasons behind the failure of the blog.
Keep on finding the interests of your readers and try to blog about those things only which can attract your reader’s base. Many people try to blog in a manner that they are writing SEO copyrights, this is not good for a blog; it can be good for an article directory site. Remember there are certainly some differences between a blog and an article. You can also read this blog of mine on differences between a blog and website.
Remember the basic differences between a blog and an article is the personal touch. Do share your opinion about whatever you blog about, and be friendly with your audience and see the impact. To be very frank, you should blog positive things only, as people usually like reading positive things and ignore negative or rude things.
You should not sound as a rude person through your blog, or a person who has attitude.
Normally short and simple blogs are being liked by many people. Though I have noticed that to the point blogs and properly segmented blogs are mostly liked by many people.
So I can suggest everyone to write to the point blogs, and try to make it with short-short points and use different headings to segment it. Also try to put images, graphics, videos, animations, etc. in it.
Impressive title or headlines is the soul of a great blog. I don’t have any hesitation is accepting the fact that I am still an amateur blogger when it comes about creating impressive headings. Honestly after spending 8 years in the field of blogging I still feel that I should learn this technique from someone who is an expert in this.
To be very frank, not many visitors will be there who will go through your blog word-by-word; mostly will prefer to scan your blog. For those types of readers your blog title, and different headings, along with images, graphics, and videos comes into handy.
Now this is a point (and even the next point is) which looks a bit odd with the above 5 ingredients which are essential for the success of any blog. But to be very frank these two things are a very essential part of the success of any blog. Professional look of your blog is very much required. You can make blog for free and chose any templates for free only, but then the free themes won’t give the much required look to your blog.
You must need to get a professional look and feel of your blog, so that it should get more attraction. Although professional look and feel is nothing which can only be achieved by a paid theme only. You should understand the fact that a professional blog is the one which can be easily readable by its users and the user should easily navigate through your blog. You can also read my blog on how to improve your blog design.
SEO is something which is essential for the success of any blog. I am not saying that every blogger should need to understand all the things required for SEO, but then they should have the basic knowledge of SEO so that they can implement those things on their blog.
You should know how to select keywords for your blog; you should know which keyword should be targeted in the heading of the blog and how to use the same keywords on the post. You should know the use of alt tags on your blog, you should know the URL structure of your blog, and you should know the Meta description field and how to create that which can return you the most.
These were some of the basic SEO elements which every blogger must know about.
So these were some of the ingredients which can help you to prepare a recipe which can be liked by many visitors. Please do let me know your opinion about this blog post of mine.
Again a great post! Having said about the use of pointers. Personal blogs. story blogs, poetry blogs cannot have pointers. How can one take the SEO advantage in a story blog without sacrificing his or her personal style? These are some of my queries.
Honesty and being positive is an approach which goes a long way. 🙂
Dear Datta, the same things cannot be implemented on all the websites. As far as a story blog is concerned, the role of SEO change with them, here the focus will be on user satisfaction. No matter if they can’t have pointers but then poetry are written in that way only, and it should appeal to its readers.
