6. Design.
Looks are not as important as content, but it is still important to catch your reader’s eye initially. Avoid dark backgrounds, light fonts, and flashy screaming banners and buttons. Just say NO to music that isn’t permission based (meaning it plays without your visitor having to ask for it to). Your Bounce rate always depends on the blog design, so make sure your blog design is unique, if you’ve added a new theme that you found on the web, make sure you customize it to your needs.
7. Jolt it down.
Keep a notebook handy at all times (or if you prefer, a file on your computer) so you can write down blog post ideas as they come to you.
Once you start blogging, everything can be a “blogable” moment if you keep your eyes open to it. BUT always think about you blog’s theme. If your blog is completely about Tech stuff and then you write about how to cook that favorite dish doesn’t make sense to many readers. When most people visit your site they always try to read about the same stuff and not deviate from the topic they are reading. So, always concentrate on thing at a time!
8. Link.
Don’t be afraid to link out more in your posts. Link out to other bloggers as well as other sources of information on the topic you’re writing about it improves the reader’s experience. Most people visit your blog when you link them back on a topic that you read and blogged about so, link to it .
9. Write.
Great writers are prolific writers. The best way to improve your writing ability on your blog is to write more frequently… Don’t be shy! Always write about the stuff you like, this is one thing that I believe in coz I write what I love and that’s automatically increasing my traffic.
10. Read
Great writers are readers too. Find and subscribe to the important blogs in your niche as well as a few blogs about blogging itself. This can really help you to upgrade yourself with new technologies and stuff happening around the world.
