Share your Best Blogging TIP

Here are my own Blogging Tips:

  1. One way to make your site popular INSTANTLY is to run a blog competition on your site. Everyone loves contests and participating especially if there is a prize to be won and the prize is worth their time and effort. Contests are the best way to get more traffic coming into your site.
  2. Find relevant posts that you can link to. To do this you can search Google’s blogsearch and find blogs on your favourite topic and that is relevant to your site. Once you have found a post that you would like to comment on, send a trackback ping as discussed in my article “Increase your Blog Traffic using TRACKBACKS” This is a great way to get incoming links, hence more traffic for your blog!
  3. Do you get lots of SPAM messages every day in the comments column of your blog? If yes, then Install Akismet. It controls spam and filters them seperate from the legitimate ones. This will save you so much time.
  4. Get others to review your blog. There are so many forums you can resgiter with that has its own section for reviewing blogs, one of them is webmasterworld.com. Get feedback for your site on things like the navigation, look, Google Adsense optimisation, etc. You’ll be amazed at how many things others will find that could be improved on and they might be able to spot other things as well like spelling mistakes or bugs. Ask them how they see your blog and how it could be improved. You don’t have to do this online if you don’t want to, you can ask friends and family. Even a simple questionnaire filled in by real people can be more valuable to you than any other tool such as Google Analytics giving you realistic results. Try it and see. You will get some valuable ideas from others. 
  5. Use your own domain name not a sub-domain of Wordpress or Blogspot.com. Read this post “why host a blog on your own domain“  Although the option of having a subdomain on these blogging platforms sounds exciting because you get a free domain you have to realise that they will ALWAYS own your domain. This means you don’t have the freedom to do what you want with it in the future. What if you want to sell it if it becomes popular or worse still what happens if the blogging platform your using goes corrupt along with your domain or is banned by a search engine? You will be the one to loose out so why take that chance. What if you want to move it to another blogging platform for example from blogger.com to Wordpress and you don’t want to lose your search engine rankings? You won’t be able to do that either.  Take my advice and host your blog on your own domain, apart from anything else it makes your blog look more professional. You’ll be glad you did in the long run.
