Writing on a blog is like writing a magazine. Just like building a new web site, you need content on your blog to get people to be interested to read your blog. The single most important thing in an article is the title when it comes to writing.

How To Title a Blog

The title is bascially the name that you will give to call your blog. This title is different from the title you use for each article you post. For instant, the title of this blog is called GatherSuccess. When choosing a title for your blog, you want to choose something that is related to what your niche is about.

For my case, I really wanted to created a blog to share my success with everyone and gather all of them in one simple website and that was the reason I named the blog GatherSuccess.

When deciding on your blog title, if possible you should also try to use your keyword research to target the best keyword or phrase to use in the title of your blog.

Choosing Great Blog Article Titles

In my experience, the best article title are the ones that capture both search engine traffic and audience at the same time. It is always recommend to always insert keywords into your title to get the maxmium exposure from Google search.

For instant, if you want to start the keyword “Golf Tips”. You must have the word “Golf Tips” in your title. For example, “10 Great Golf Tips To Play Golf”. The tricky part in choosing titles, it also must be attractive to your readers at the same time to ensure they are interested in the topic.

It will take you some time to practice it and find out what titles are great for your blog. The best way to find out is to install tracking plugins on your blog to see what your readers love to read on your blog.

Using Keyword Effectively On Your Articles

As with any website you want to always optimized your website pages to get high ranks in search engine. To do so, you want to repeat the keyword in your article a few times in the text of the article itself. Even if you are simply posting a simple announcement post, you can write a brief introduction to about yourself to mention the keyword once or twice in the introduction

That’s it for part 1 of “Powerful Tips On Writing Blog Articles”, in the next article I will be talking more about what topics you should write on your article, the length of it and what to write about.

Writing Articles On Blogs

Writing can sometimes seems like a daunting task to many, if you are new to it I wouldn’t agree more as it requires oneself to have a creative mind and have a strong command in English. However, learning how to write is THE most important skill to learn to make money online In my experience it’s always great to write articles that is right to the point and straight forward.

To get ideas for your articles, you can actually visit article directories like EzineArticles.com to see what others are writing about in your niche. Or perhaps, while you were outside and some how got an idea for a topic to write about you may also want to pin down those thoughts on a piece of paper. Once you are back home, you can refer to that paper for ideas on your topics.

Recommended Length Of Words Per Article

When writing an article on a blog, it actually not much different from website. Thus, an article should always be in a range from 200 to 1,000 words of unique relevent content. However, do not freak out if you just could not squeeze out 100 words just take your time to write and it will slowing get easier as you practice more Just remember it always better to provide quality then to rush into it and just publish it.

While writing your article, do always remember to apply and include the keyword phrases within the article content to optimize your article to search engines.

There are no rules in blogging, so you are free to write as you fit suitable for your blog site. However, from my experience a long article with great content is always the best for any blog.

What To Write About?

Well you definitely do not want to write rubbish on your blog. Before you set off to get yourself into writing the topic of your article, you must first look at the keyword research that led you to discover the niche within your blog.

Begin with that keyword research and start writing based on what are the best keywords in your list. When you start expanding on the topic and write to a point you no longer have any more ideas, you can start offering opinions on the things you just wrote about to add in more words.

Reading other people’s blog like mind will also help you generate ideas for your articles but you have to be careful not to copy people’s content as that is not right.

Do also spend some time to think about how to get your articles ranked well in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Get topics from your keyword research data, and input the phrase all over your articles.

That’s it for part 2 of “Powerful Tips On Writing Blog Articles”, in the next article I will be talking more about how to label your categories, adding links & freq of post.

This article is a continuous of the previous three articles, part 1 , part 2 & part 3. We are almost done in explain everything you need to know about blogging but there is more to you need to know.

Frequency Of Posting

Blogging on a blog can be a real tiring thing to do on a daily basics especially so when people are more demanding now in today’s world. They expect more out from your blog and in order to satisfy them you need to try to post a new article to your blog every day!

Yes my friend it may sound crazy but if you fail to do that, the more you delay, the chances your readers not coming back to your blog would also be higher. That is what I realized whenever I go for my holiday trips and forgot to post on my blog

The bare minimum is there should be a post every 2 to 3 days within the week, making it 3 posts a week. However, you do not want to post all three at one go but you want to give it some delay to keep people interested. Like what I have just done by breaking this long article into a 4 part series

Your main motive in frequency updating your blog is that you have to give your readers a sense that your blog is been actively maintained and there are always fresh new content to read. This will also keep search engine spiders coming back regularly which mean better rankings for you

Handling Comments

It is a real common problem that you will receive tons of spam comments when you start blogging on your blog. Do not panic as it’s normal to receive them, infact the more you receive means you are doing something right as you are getting more attention on the internet

All blog platforms have different ways to filter away comments but always try to have a spam filter installed into your blog site if possible to safe you all the trouble of filtering them yourself. If you have disabled comments on your blog, I would highly recommend you to enable it as it’s the best way to interact with your readers.

When you enable comments, do remember to enable the moderating mode so that you do not simply allow spam message to hit onto your blog site. Do note when you approve comments, try to avoid allowing your readers to insert hyperlinks in the messages, that would affect your rankings.

That’s it for part 4 of “Powerful Tips On Writing Blog Articles”, I hope you have got something out of the 4 series of article I have written on writing on blog.
