1) Imitate Nature – don’t go stuffing keywords into
posts or over doing on page SEO. Google, Yahoo and
MSN are looking for quality sites by real people,
not someone spitting out hundreds of blogs per month
filled with keywords and ads.
2) Add Some Visitor Value – About every post you write should offer some value to your readers. Now this doesn’t mean it has to change their life or anything but it needs
to offer them value. Even posts about a related article
with a link or a product review are good. Blogs filled
with RSS vomit don’t offer value and won’t last.
3) Make It Sticky – Your blog should have people coming
back to it and reading it again and again. Make sure you include RSS reader buttons so visitors can subscribe to
the feed. Also opt-in newsletters that offer more than
just updates are a good idea but the number one way to get people to come back is to offer excellent likable content.
4) Don’t let your blog die – After testing I’ve seen huge differences in blogs that are kept updated and offers that don’t get new posts. You don’t have to post every day or even every week but make sure you don’t just set them up
and forget about them because they will die off and lose traffic.
5) Market = Profit – If you are after making the most
money you can from a blog them the most important decision you make will be the market you blog for so make sure you research it well first.
