We?ve already optimized our blog to rank well for search results of certain keywords that we?re targetting, but here comes the sad news ? it affects your ranking in only very minor ways. However, don?t skip this step as every little bit helps when you?re competing for search engine rankings!Now, we?re moving on to offpage search engine optimization. That is, factors that are not on your blog but affect your search engine rankings very greatly. There are a lot of offpage factors, but we shall study them one by one. The first and most obvious one is the number of links to your blog.As a general rule of thumb, the more links to your blog, the more the search engines think you are an authority in that particular niche and hence the higher they rank you. However, take care to observe the quality of the links. For example, a thousand links from totally irrelevant sites like online dating sites would not help at all because your blog is a travel blog.

Getting links from other websites is not the only way to attract visitors to visit your blog. This time, we are going to explore alternative methods to attract high quality traffic with both free and paid methods.The first thing you can do to generate traffic is to recycle all the content you have written on your blog. What I really mean is to turn your blog posts into little ?manuals? or articles that help people solve their problems or offer valuable information and submit them to article directories. These article directories are like aggregators that collect articles of similar themes together in one place, so they receive thousands and thousands of qualified visitors every day. When you submityour articles to these directories, you are exposing your name to the thousands of pairs of eyes visiting them for free! On most article directories, you are also permitted to include a ?resource box? where you can include your contact details, a simple biography and so on. This is where y...

Blog Content Brainstorming
2007-10-09 21:28:00
Face the fact ? your blog needs to be regularly updated to maintain its readership! Hence, you must always find fresh topics to write about, and we?re going to discuss how to do just that in this step.We have discussed how to write attractively, so now we are going to discuss what we are going to write on. The very first option that I think a blogger should write on is a topic that he or she feels passionate and interested in. You?ve chosen to make blogging your career because you want to escape a mundane job ? forcing yourself to write about something that you?re not interested in is as torturous as as your mundane job!The other reason I ask you to write about something you?re passionate about is because your feelings and emotion shows through your writings! If you feel indifferent to a certain subject but still write about it just for the sake of it, your readers will notice it.Remember the advice about writing with a personality? Forcing yourself to write will not establish a wel...

Blog Content
2007-10-09 21:05:00
Today, we?re going to discuss the type of content that is suitable for your blog in order to make it profitable. First off, I want you to understand that there is no fixed scope that your blog should have, which means you can write about whatever you?re interested in. However, the difference between a profitable blog and a non-profitable blog is the way the blog is written. Just imagine, would you prefer to read your university professor?s lecture notes or the latest novel by your favorite author? You may prefer to read the novel because it appeals more to your interest, or because it is not as mind-numbing as the lecture notes by your professor. However, the most important point is people like to read ?light? stuff most of the time. You see, when people log on to your blog, they are not only looking for information ? they are also looking for information they can obtain easily, and better still in a relaxed manner.So, to attract more visitors as well as to keep your current visitor...
