WordPress is an awesome website building platform that is relatively easy to learn, within days even the most timid internet user can have a professional looking blog and website up and running. With WordPress there is no need for HTML or JavaScript coding skills. Everything is created with an easy to use 'plug n play' style system. I guess that is why they call the add-ons 'plugins'.
Once you have WordPress installed onto your server a default theme will be visible, this is usually the 'Twenty Eleven' theme, if you do not like this theme all you need to do is change it. We will talk about how to change themes in another post. For now, the default theme is good enough to start your newbie blog.
WordPress functionality may seem a bit basic at first and it is, but even the basic theme can look great if you use it well, once you start to add the plugins then the magic can really start. Plugins can turn your blog from just a one or two video posts to a complete video style website or it can become a photo gallery. You can add podcasts, sales pages, and ecommerce stores. The possibilities are endless. Anyway, I better not get you either too excited or frazzle your brain with 'too much to learn syndrome'.
I will take it easy and start small. I am going to give you a list of plugins that I think every new blog owner should know about and install before you go into the seriously good plugins. Some are essential and some are, well you guessed it, not. These are in no particular order
1. Akismet- Great plugin that stops spamming comments and deletes automatically saving you the time and annoyance of having to go through the comments left by people pushing porn or Viagra! Akismet is usually pre-loaded into WordPress and should be found in the plugin section. This will need a key for it to be enabled and you will need to register with Akismet to get a key. It used to be available from WordPress.org but unfortunately they have stopped doing that. [Essential]
2. Contact Form 7 - Great plugin this, adds a contact form (if you hadn't already guessed) to your site. You simply add in your email address that you want emails sent to, and any other info you require then copy and paste the simple code it gives you into a page. Give the page a name like hmmm 'Contact Me' hit publish and you are done. [Essential]
3. EzineArticles - This is a cool plugin, when you write a blog post, before you put links or pictures into it you can hit a couple of buttons and send your fresh article straight to EzineArticles for distribution. Now article marketing used to be big but since Google have taken a bit of a dislike to article sites I am not sure how powerful article marketing is; however, it can still be good for you if other websites and newsletters to take your article with a link to your site and use it.
4. Google Privacy Policy - This is a must if you want to monetize your site with Google AdSense. They will not add any adverts to a site that doesn't comply with their terms and a site must have a Privacy Policy. This sorts it all out, similar to Contact Form 7, you copy a bit of code and post it into a page and hit publish. Job done. [Essential]
5. Google XML Sitemaps - The best way to describe this is by using the plugin description itself 'This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog' I couldn't have put it better myself.
6. CKEditor for WordPress- This is great for copying and pasting from Word etc, keeping the text and font formatting. Better than the standard default text editor in WordPress. It gives you more choice and control when writing your blog posts or importing pictures. This is not an essential plugin really, more a preference.
7. cbnet Ping Optimizer - This stops the over excessive 'pinging' of your website to search engines. WordPress by default will 'ping' your blog posts to help them get index by the search engines. If you are like me, you will create blog posts by adding bits, publishing it, taking a look, editing it, updating it etc. etc. This can go on time after time after time. Every time you hit 'Update' WordPress will send a new 'ping'. You may think this is good, it is not. Too much 'pinging' can in fact go against you. Google may think you are spamming and trying to get index really fast for naughty reasons. So you could in fact be punished for excessive pinging. Installing this plugin is a must. [Essential]
8. Share and Follow - This is a social share plugging that adds all those lovely Social Media and bookmarking buttons at the top/bottom of posts allowing people who like your posts to share and bookmark them (obviously) There is also a 'Follow Us' bar where you can add your Twitter and Facebook links so your site visitors can easily join up and follow you on the popular Social Media networks.
9. Yoast SEO - Search Engine optimization is a must for websites to help them get higher rankings in the search engines, this great plugin checks your posts before you publish them to see if they are written as best as they can be with your chosen keyword for them to have a better ranking in places like Google. Alternately you can use All in One SEO Pack plugin. I prefer the Yoast personally. [Essential]
10. Digg Digg - Another Social Media plugin that allows your site visitors to ReTweet or Share your posts. Digg Digg has a great funky floating bar that runs up the side of your posts. I run this alongside share and follow.
11. Statpress Reloaded - This is great little plugin for showing you how many visitors you have had to your site, where they came from, what page they looked at, what search terms they used etc. Once you have activated it, it is up and running unlike Google Analyticator plugin which requires you to set up a Google Analytics account and get an ID password before you can use the plugin. Statpress Reloaded is straightforward and fast working. [Essential]
12. WPtouch - Awesome plugin that automatically turns your site into a smart phone friendly version. Most smart phones these days can view normal websites well and the new version of WordPress seems to adapt automatically when viewed in phones, however saying that. WP Touch makes your site look a lot better and arranges your posts into an easier to read list. Install, give it a try, if you do not like it deactivate it and delete. Not a problem
13. Related Posts Thumbnails - This cool plugin allows related posts to be seen on the side bar and at the bottom of your posts with the featured image, giving your reader something else to see, possibly capture their attention and have them clicking through to your other posts keeping them where you want them, on your site!
14. WP Photo Album - Another excellent plugin that gives a greater visual dimension to your blog. This plugin allows you to upload loads of photos, create albums and galleries. You copy some code into a page, give it a title and hit publish to create picture galleries within your site. It has several widgets that can be placed into the sidebar creating a picture of the day/hour, a slide show of pictures and a top ten pictures section giving your site an incredible visual experience.
15. FeedWordPress - This is for the lazy people who don't like creating their own content. Plugin this baby and it will pull content via RSS from the websites that you choose and place them onto your blog as posts. As long as they have an RSS feed of course. Great for news type of blogs. Use this alongside your own content then you have a winning combination. Regular posting of content is good in the eyes of search engines, they don't normally like duplicate content but if you use it wisely it can do you good. The only drawback is that you must choose the websites that you pull your feed from wisely otherwise your site could get populated with rubbish.

Many small business owners struggle with getting their website ranked - you are not alone. Small business owners needs quality websites, and often they are not sure what it takes to get it noticed by customers. The SEO tips below should help you with these problems.
Tip 1:
Never design your website without SEO. Make sure your web designer understands your reasoning for organic SEO. Doing a retrofit on your shiny new Flash website after it is built won't do it. Spiders can crawl text but not Flash or images.
Tip 2:
Got a new website you want spidered? Submitting your website to Google's search engines take weeks. The quickest way to get your website spidered is by getting a link to it through another quality site.
Tip 3:
When defining the keywords for your page, try to only target a maximum of three per page and make sure that the keywords you are using actually exist in your web page at the beginning paragraph, middle of the body and ending paragraph of the page.
Tip 4:
It's very important to get listed in other online business directories? Listings of your business in directories such as Local.com, Yellowpages.com, your local city's chamber of commerce, or directories affiliated with your business can help boost your page's ranking.
Tip 5:
There many of plugins for WordPress, a handful of favorites that can make a huge difference when it comes to optimizing your site. These SEO plugins take the work out of optimization and allow you to focus on other strategies, like content! WordPress's All-in-One SEO Pack or HeadSpace2 SEO.
Tip 6:
Try different strategies: The goals of an SEO campaign is to convert a lead. A successful campaign can be attained when integrated with other campaigns. Think about attracting visitors that are at an early stage of buying. Think about strategies to get them to sign up for your newsletter.
Tip 7:
Optimizing your pages, such as keywords, heading tags, and internal links can help search engines better recognize the content of these pages and how they're structured. Many of these optimizations aid users' navigation and usability of the site. You have total control over page optimization, it greatly depends on you to make it happen
Tip 8:
Use bold text. Use the tags around some of your keywords throughout your page. Don't use them everywhere
Tip 9:
Have several articles related to your website's Keywords. Make sure you use a different keyword search term for them. For instance, one article might use the keywords "Healthy foods for Babies," while another might use the term "Babies Healthy Foods."

Most people know that you can make money from Google ads and that in order to do so, you need to display Google ads on your site, but many don't know how to work with AdSense to maximise revenue.
Here are some tips on how to make money from Google ads and how to work with AdSense.

Tip #1 Before you apply for your AdSense account make sure that you have at least one blog or website with some interesting and informative content on it. As a minimum, you should have three or four posts and/or pages. If you submit a site which is obviously under construction and has no real content then Google may reject your application and once rejected, it's very hard to be considered again, so get it right first time.

Tip #2 Play it safe with the type of website you submit. Google do not permit the display of AdSense adverts on sites with adult content, sites with copyrighted content which do not have the legal right to display such content, gambling sites, sites related to drugs, alcohol or tobacco, violence, weapons, hacking, other illegal activities, compensation programmes and "hate" content. Financial and foreign exchange related sites are also having difficulty gaining approval.

Tip #3 Once approved, create your AdSense for content blocks and make sure to create Custom Channels. Custom Channels will enable you to track the success or otherwise of your ad blocks. Name your Custom Channels so that you will recognise which ad block is being referred to. For example, for my text links which run across the top of my site about cats I use the Channel "catstop" and for the block which appears in the middle of each blog post, I use "catsmidpost".

Tip #4 Google allows the display of up to three ad units and three link units per page. However, use your common sense when choosing how many ads to show. If your page has little content, then six ads will just look like one big advertisement. I usually use a link unit across the top, a large square or rectangle mid-post and another link unit at the end of the post. I also use a skyscraper in either the left or right sidebar.

The first thing you should know is that finally Google has opened its social network site Google+ to businesses. It currently has around 40 million users, and while this is no threat in the short term to Facebook which has around 800 million active users, it's a social media platform that cannot be ignored.

Clearly the two big players in the social network world are Google+ and Facebook; not to have a presence on both is simply not good SEO sense. If you want your brand or site or company to have maximum publicity online, then you should be a part of these online social networks.
Facebook has its Like button which allows people or fans to express their opinion about certain products or sites and when they press the button, all their friends are informed that they have given something the thumbs up. This may not result in sales, but if only one sale comes from sixty-six Likes, that's better than no sale at all. Incidentally I didn't just pull that figure out of a hat; it was taken from a recent MerchantCircle survey published in August 2011 which surveyed small local businesses.
You should by now have embedded a Facebook Like button along with a Google+1 button onto the pages of your website, as the Google+1 button will, one presumes in the future be an indication to the search engine of your page's popularity and so will affect your position in the Search Engine Rankings Pages (SERPS).
Having a Twitter account which you Tweet to regularly cannot harm your position in SERPS either, in fact the more social media sites you have a presence on, the better for your business and ultimately for your rankings in the SERPS.
Some people in online marketing forget the value of Wikipedia as a social media. It ranks highly in Google's SERPS, even though it might not be the most authoritative site on any one particular topic. If you can contribute to it and get your site linked to pages within it you have got yourself a highly rated backlink.
However there is no getting away from the fact that Facebook and Google are the major league players in social networking and so in online marketing; ignore them at your peril. Google+ Circles allows businesses to categorize their fans into clusters according to age groups and gender etc., so that allows businesses to target specific groups with advertisements. There is no denying that the trend in marketing is for businesses to communicate with consumers and both Facebook and Google+ allow for this to some extent. Both sites are in the business of providing their users with so much information that they will have no need to leave the sites. This means that if your business does not have a presence in these social network sites, it will be losing out to competitors who do have a visible presence in their pages.

Blogging took the digital world by storm a decade ago and remains the most popular form of website. While many people use blogging as a tool for self-expression, there are many valid reasons to start a blog. The most common ones are listed below.
Sharing Life Experience
This is the reason most people decide to blog. It is an easy and anonymous way to talk to the world about day to day life, share photos, engage in conversation and keep up with friends. While social media has taken over this niche to some extent, people still use blogging as a personal communication tool. Individuals dealing with illness can find support and friendship through blogging, as well.
Sharing Expertise
Anyone working in the tech or web design fields will find blogging is a great way to connect with peers and other interested people. It makes posting code and discussing security issues fast and easy and offers a platform on which to display work and grow a community.
Promoting a Business
Most big businesses run company blogs to facilitate communication between employees, make announcements or receive feedback from customers. Using blogging in this way can be a great way to help a small business get off the ground and touch base with its targeted market.
Art and Design Portfolio
Up and coming designers, photographers, musicians and artists are well served by displaying their work on a blog that is set up as a portfolio. Virtual galleries and music clips help to generate buzz and receive honest critiques, as well as make sales. Having a portfolio may also pave the way to live shows and meeting the right people.
Writing a Book
Self-publishing is the name of the game these days, with many authors taking the blogging route to get there. A writing blog can showcase finished work, as well as projects in progress. Some writers post serialized stories to their sites, where the audience must wait a week between updates. This can help to grow interest and also give the author a small income through sales and donations.
Blogs are an easy way to set up a web presence and can act as a sharing or promotional tool. There are also many choices in platform, whether free or paid. Most people start out on a free offering while they gauge the audience and as they become more successful, move to a paid or self-hosted solution. Blogging is definitely still in and will be for many years to come

SEO, or search engine optimization, remains a top marketing strategy in gaining an edge over competitors and luring more targeted clients. Every business in this era would benefit greatly from having their websites optimized for search engines. Millions of people use the Internet on a regular basis, conducting transactions, communicating with families and friends, looking for products and services, and basically anything else that can be done online. All these pose a crucially important opportunity for businesses that want to gain more customers and attract several more prospective clients. And through functional and effective optimization of their website, they can achieve this particular goal.
Optimizing a website for the search engine involves a series of steps that range from simple to complicated. Anyone can learn how to do the basic procedures in the optimization process. However, for a businessman, going through these can be time-consuming for him and could require more effort than he would like to expend. Therefore, this particular process is best left for service providers who are versed and proficient in the optimization techniques. Companies that provide optimization services are aware about the different methods of preparing a website to be easily noticed by search engines.
The Qualities Of An Efficient SEO Provider
When you choose a service provider for this particular process, you will want to check the approach they use. An effective system is one that uses search engine optimization as the core technique and designs the entire system around it. The steps used in the optimizing websites are very much widespread. Anyone who is exposed to the different marketing systems knows how optimization is basically done. In all, the methods involved in optimizing sites are generally the same. More or less, everyone performs the same approach. But what should set a provider apart is an approach that it has designed itself and has been proven to work in the past.
Some of the components of this unique system should include a number of critical factors. As we all know, Google remains at the pinnacle of search engines. If you want to break into your targeted market, choose a provider that has thorough knowledge on how to keep up with Google's algorithm and its constant slew of changes. This optimization specialist should stick to the guidelines specified by the giant search engine to make sure that it performs legitimate techniques in getting your website properly optimized.
Getting your website properly optimized is important if you want to have it ranked high on search page results. And entrusting your site to an efficient and knowledgeable SEO provider can help ensure that you are on the right track to accomplishing your initial goal of priming your website for the search engines. One thing to remember in choosing a provider is that it should not compel you to be constrained by long-term contracts as this will be a disadvantage to you. To be sure, get a firm that can give you a better option than this. When you are able to ascertain these, you will be on the path to the realization of your online goals

Doing proper keyword research is vital and should be your first step to building a strong foundation for your search engine optimization or any of your online marketing because if you get this step wrong, everything else you do later on can come crashing down around you.
Proper keyword research can be broken down into seven simple steps or phases
Brainstorming Phase:
The brainstorming phase can be described as the step where you identify your perfect audience and then properly survey your perfect audience to identify the specific keywords and keyword phrases that they will be using to search for the products or services that you offer on your website.
Categorizing Phase:
During the categorizing phase, we will break down our keywords and keyword phrases into specific themes. Examples could be specific products or model numbers of products that your customers are searching for. Or perhaps the problems or concerns that your customers are looking for you to solve.
Keyword Research Phase:
Typically allot of Internet Marketers jump right into this phase of the process of keyword research by firing up some new fancy keyword research tool without having any clue who they are speaking too and what message they should be presenting to their audience, thus they fail.
And as there are allot of keyword research tools out there in the market, some free and some that have a subscription, we are often asked which tool we would recommend.
Well that depends and I’ll explain it this way.
Just as an auto mechanic has various tools in his toolbox that he can choose from to do his job properly, to be successful online you should have a toolbox complete with the proper tools to do your job right. Now I am not saying that you should go out and buy every new SEO tool that comes down the road, no!
What I am saying that as you progress in your journey and learn SEO and Keyword Research with us, we will point out the various features of the various keyword tools that we will be teaching you. If you find that a certain feature of a certain tool fits your needs, then add it to your toolbox. If it doesn’t fit your needs then simply move on.
During your SEO Training you will also discover that many of the free tools that we will be sharing with you also have the same, if not better features of some of the paid tools.
Review Phase:
In the review phase we will be compiling our lists of keywords into a spreadsheet then sorting them, categorizing them based upon the level of search, the competitiveness level and the relevancy to your website.
You’ll discover in this phase that many of the keywords that had come up in your brainstorming or through your keyword research just are not worth the time or effort in targeting because they may not have enough search volume, or that no one searching for them, or the competition for those words is through the roof and that are more profitable long tail keywords that you could target instead.
Selection Phase:
After you whittled away at your keyword list in the review phase, you will often still find yourself with a list of hundreds, if not thousands of keywords that you have to choose from, that is why many Internet Marketers say that this fifth phase is one of the hardest for them to master.
Well it really shouldn’t be once you understand a few key issues;
First off you’re probably realizing the fact that there aren’t enough hours in a day, let alone a month, to properly optimize your website for all the keywords that you have on your list.
Therefore make it easy on yourself, remember my rule of five.
5 keywords = 5 articles + five hours a week
What I mean by this is that for each keyword that you will be initially optimizing your website for you should be writing a minimum of one article a week for your website and spending at least an one hour a week obtaining onsite links and off site links to that page.
Now I understand that some keywords will be harder for you to optimize for then others, that is why I also recommend that you include a couple root keywords for your long term investment along with a few long tail keywords that you can quickly optimize for that hopefully will start paying out in the short term.
As your long tail begin paying you the dividends that you’re happy with then consider replacing these with some new long tail keyword phrases, while still working on those main root keywords as your long term commitment.
Test Phase:
This is often the most overlooked phase by even the most seasoned Internet Marketers.
Before you go out and break your back and spend hundreds of hours doing SEO for your website, wouldn’t it be nice to know that the product or service that you’re promoting will actually convert and make you money?
Through a Pay Per Click you can quickly launch a campaign using the keywords that you selected and if you making money or just breaking even, then you will know that it is worth your investment in moving forward.
However, if find that you’re not making any sales or conversions then it wise to re-evaluate the keywords that you have selected and/or to focus on the conversion factors on your website.
Repeat Phase:
As you travel in your journey to operating a successful online business you will want to remember that common phrase written on shampoo bottles” wash, rinse, repeat” in that as long as you’re marketing your business, these same set of instructions used to wash your hair should also be applied to any facet of online marketing that makes you successful.
Review:
Lets again quickly review these 7 simple, but powerful phases of keyword research that we will be covering with you in this chapter of your SEO Roadmap Video Training Series.

1. Brainstorming – Identifying your perfect audience and the keywords they would use
2. Categorizing – We will then categorize these keywords into specific topic areas
3. Keyword Research – We will use the various keyword tools such as the Google Keyword tool, Insights for search, the Google Wonder Wheel, Market Samuari, Word Tracker and SpyFu and save the data into a spread sheet
4. Review- We will then review the various keywords and then sort them on the volume of search, the competitiveness and remove keywords from our list that may not have enough search volume, are just too competitive, or are just not relevant for our website
5. Select – We will then go through our list and based upon the rule of 5, select the keywords that we would want to target in the launch of our new campaign
6. Test – We will then test the keywords for conversion using PPC to make sure that they can make us money, before we start our SEO campaign
7. Wash, Rinse, And Repeat.

Quickly coming up with blog post ideas can be a frustrating exercise, but it doesn’t have to be.
What I try to do is have several good blog post ideas on hand all the time.  Once you get behind the curve on ideas that’s when you’ll start wasting time and get frustrated.
My WordPress rough drafts section can have as many as 50 post at one time sitting there waiting for me to put the finishing touches on them.
Getting those ideas means always being on the lookout and jotting them down when I think of them.  Even if I just get the title into the draft, that can be a pretty good start to writing my post.
But first let’s find out how to quickly get those blog post ideas rolling

If you’re in tune to your target market and what interests them, then it’s just a matter of finding ideas and presenting them creatively, which we’ll talk about in my next post.
But for today here are 5 quick ways I use to find blog posts and a few quick bonus reference ideas at the end.
1.  Use Google Alerts
Google’s great for helping me find ideas.   You can do a Google search or have a look on Google News but I think a much easier and faster way is to use Google Alerts.
Start by making a list of your blog’s categories.  Next, go to Google Alerts and use those category titles as search terms for the Alerts.
For example, let’s say you have a weight loss for women blog and your categories are:
- Weight loss pills
- weight loss diet plans
- weight loss tips
- weight loss Exercise
Next, type in the keyword phrase for each category into Google Alerts and complete the requested parameters:

• Type – This is your choice but I want all the ideas I can get so I choose ‘All’
• How often  – I like ‘As it happens’
• Volume – I prefer ‘only the best results’
• Your email address

Delivered to your email inbox will be everything as it happens in Google for that keyword phrase.  This will give you ideas, news and blog posts related to your keywords.
This is a great way to get information delivered directly to you without spending your own time searching.  I’ve even used these alerts to find some excellent blog posts that I can comment on.
2.  Ask Your Readers
If you have your own opt-in email list, and you should, you can easily create a follow-up email that simply asks each reader what they most want to know, or you can create a free survey using surveymonkey.com.  It’s super simple to set up.  Just follow the directions.
Once you have your survey set up, add it to your autoresponder as a follow-up email and you’re done.  As each subscriber signs-up, they’ll get your email asking them your question.   Soon you’ll start seeing responses come in that you can create blog posts around.
I’ve gotten tons of good information this way on a steady basis.  Many people are so anxious to find quality, candid information they’re happy to talk about what their problems are and what they most want to know.
3.  Use your Competitors for Ideas
Take a minute and find popular blogs that compete with yours. To easily find those blogs, use this command:
This command will find all .com blogs that have your keyword phrase in the title and/or description.  You can substitute .com for .org, .net or whatever suffix you want.
Next, if you don’t already have one, create an account on feedreader.com, it’s free. Once you are set up, add the news feed of each blog to Feedreader.
Now each day when you log into Feedreader you’ll see the latest blog posts for your chosen blogs.
The blog posts that get your attention are probably great ideas for posts you can write yourself.  You can create a whole new post of  your own on the ideas you see in other blogs, or you can simply comment on already existing posts.  If  you’re commenting on their post, don’t’ forget to include a link to it.

4. Get Help From The Pro’s

There are 2 places I use regularly to help me get ideas for blog posts.  I use them because they post information that people read, so I frequently find great ideas.
Alltop - This blogging site features all the top stories from all the best blogs for just about any niche.  Just type a keyword into the search box and you’ll find related blogs and their latest blog posts.  From there you’ll get tons of blog post ideas that you can write about.
Technorati - You won’t find as much detail on Technorati as Alltop but their directory will help you find blogs of interest so that you can view their posts for ideas.

5.  No Time to Spare?  Use These Quick Reference Ideas
If you’re still struggling with ideas, here are a few quick things you can do in a pinch:

• Tell a personal story about your blogging experiences.
• Find the best posts from other blogs in your niche and then create a ‘Best Of’ list.
• Create a list of WordPress plugins that you use or that other bloggers in your topic use.
• Do a small video of your home office. People would love to know what your personal office looks like.

Tweeting is extremely addictive and if you’re not careful, it could take over your life. Fortunately, many Twitter applications, both paid and free, have been launched that allow Tweeps to schedule their tweets in the future and even automate their tweets. This allows you to Tweet interesting links to your followers and drive more traffic to your website even when you’re asleep. Sites like Hootsuite, TweetAdder and SocialOomph are good places to start.







Using hashtags in Twitter are like using tags on Flickr or adding categories to your blog. It adds an extra layer of data to your tweets, where users can simply click on the hashtag to see a list of tweets that also include that hashtag. To add a hashtag, simply include the “#” symbol before a keyword. Don’t forget to use CamelCase. For example, tweet “#NewYork” instead of “#New York.” However, Twitter etiquette dictates that you should use hashtags sparingly, so never use more than three or four hashtags in a single tweet.  

If you are blogging then you will have one aim in common with other bloggers, more traffic, more traffic and more traffic. This is not at all as there are millions of people around the world to read your blog and this not going to be a very competent job for you if you know these 8 things that should not be done in blogging.Here we go,

Do Not Expect Success Without Promoting

Do not expect success without promoting as you have to go to the readers and do not expect the readers to find your great contents. Submit your articles to article directories where people will find you and use hyperlinks to let them know more about you and your blog when they are reading these articles. There are umpteen numbers of things that you can do to promote you and your blogs.

Avoid time lags between your posts

It is very important that you publish your posts in time and therefore do not stop posting regularly. Even if you are not able to post regularly on a daily basis, post once in a week, once in a month or once in a fortnight. Make it a habit as even you can schedule posts in platforms like wordpress.

Do not have too many advertisements on your blog

When you are placing ads, place them either on the side of the posts or on the top or the bottom of the posts. Too many ads are like too many cooks who will spoil your posts and not the broth this time. Cluttering with ads will irritate potential readers and make them leave easily.

Don’t Be Anonymous

Write an useful About me or About us page, which will tell your readers more about you like who you are and how qualified you are as a blogger and in the topic you have written. If you are an expertise on a specific area of interest then your blog will be unique and interesting.

Do not fill your blogs with hodgepodge information

Write a more meaningful and informative blogpost, which means that even if you write a post of 500 words it should be filled with information and a SE optimized one.

Don’t forget to proof read

Whatever you write on the blog is going to be there forever, even after you die, so is better to proof read your blogposts.

Don’t forget to link

Link to your posts and the sources of information, as giving the due credit will not only authenticate the information on your blogs but also will bring in more traffic when you back link your posts to your and others posts on similar topics.

Do Not Expect Overnight Results

Blogging is not a means of making overnight results, and you cannot make money with one or two posts to make some good money. You need to work initially until you establish your blog, and once established there is room for everyone. If you had been thinking blogging as a bed of roses, then you are wrong. You have the thickets of thorns to reach that level in blogging.

Respect Other Bloggers

As mentioned elsewhere, there is room for everyone in the world of blogging, this is important that you work hard and smart causing no harm to your fellow bloggers. You need not try to find faults to establish yourself, and all you need to do is work mutually with your fellow blogger or a blogger who is on the top in your niche.
