Bloggin Basics ~ Show Your Blog Some Love

Regular, frequent loving, will keep your visitors happy and boost your blog’s ranking in search engines. Keeping people interested in your blog, whether it is a business or personal blog, is key to attracting a lot of regular visitors. Many blogs have died because visitors have just lost interest. The main reason for the lack of interest is the lack of frequently showing the blog some love by the blog owner.

You might be asking yourself, what is showing my blog some love?  How much loving should I give on a given week? How do I give frequent consistently good love? What are the reasons for me to love frequently?

What is showing my blog some love?

Show Your Blog Some LoveGiving your blog some love is all about frequently posting enough information to keep your readers interested. Obviously, people will not want to come back to a blog that hasn’t been updated in months. They want to see consistent posting so they know coming back  next week won’t be a waste of time.

 

How many blog entries should I make each week?

This is one of the tougher questions to answer. It really depends on the purpose of your blog. If it’s a personal blog, a weekly or twice weekly update is an excellent idea. A political/sports/music/religion blog should have 3-4 posts per week, if not more. Business blogs should have at least 2 posts, but preferably 4 each week.

The thing to remember to make your blog a success is that that quality counts. Posting frequently just for the sake of posting frequently tends to result in bad loving posts which people won’t care about. It is important to find a balance—frequent, quality posts that won’t result in burnout on your part. Why create 4 poor quality posts each week when you could post 2 quality posts per week?

How do I create quality postings on a consistent basis?

It’s all about following a consistent pattern of writing. Maybe you’re not a natural writer and writing is more difficult for you.  Here are some quick tips to help you write more effective thoughtful post. (Good Loving)

1. Pick a topic that is interesting to you and to your readers. Maybe if your blog is a personal blog, you could write about the latest happenings in an area of your life that is entertaining as well as thought provoking.

2. Carefully think about what you’ll write about the topic. It makes it easy to make quality blog postings if you know exactly what you’ll write. Plot out everything about the post before even beginning to write it.

3. Before writing your content, pick out some keywords that are relevant to your blog. If you naturally use keywords throughout your post, you will have the search engine spiders crawling all over you which will get your blog ranked higher on search engines. Your visitors won’t mind the use of keywords if they are used in a tasteful way.

4. Begin writing your post. Don’t limit yourself to a particular amount of words. Just do what’s natural. And if any blog post is hard for you, just take a timeout,  relax or do some quick workouts. You should be able to finish the post a bit later on, after you’ve had some time to think things through, release some tension and regroup. Once refreshed, you should be able to finish the post with no problems.

Why is frequent posting important?

Blogs are meant to be outlets for individuals or businesses. They are used to get an opinion out on something and to engage readers. Readers need to have something that makes them want to keep coming back to a blog. That something is usually quality, frequent posts.

Gaining and maintaining visitors isn’t the only reason to post often in your blog. Catching the eye of a search engine—and achieving a high ranking—is another valid reason for posting frequently. Most likely, each posting in your blog is focused on one particular subject which features some keywords or keyword phrases scattered throughout it. Logic says that the more natural keywords you have on a blog, the better.

The more posts you make on your blog, the more keywords you have on there. And the more keywords you have, the more likely a search engine bot is to crawl your site. The more your site is crawled by bots, the more likely it is that you will have a high ranking on a search engine. The higher ranking on a search engine your blog has the more visitors will find and visit your site.
