How To Write Content for Your Blog – II ?
Post length:-
The average post length should be more than 500 words. It is good for getting much traffic. If each post is about 1000-2000 words then it is better to write such posts about five in a week. And if it is 500 words post then it is good to publish at least 15-20 posts per week.
Pillar Articles:-
Pillar articles will be bring more traffic to the blog because it will be written according to points wise or in step by step banner. It is a complete digest so readers will be more interested in reading such posts. It gives complete information for a topic.
Writing Effective Titles:-
Titles are good for welcoming search engine traffic. When we type any keyword in google search engine, it will return the results according to keyword we type. And it’s better to include keyword in the title. Titles starting with “how” or “Top 10” work out more because they give some sort of solution for users. It is good to write attracting, confusion or any type title to get readers to your blog but if your title do not match with your content then things could go worse. Try to keep the title short, straight and simple.
Basic html tags:-
When I stepped in to blogging I was not aware of basic html tags like anchor text link but later I learned through digital point forum. While writing a post we must have knowledge of at least basic html like the below one
–> <b>bold</b>
–> <i>italics</i>
–> <center>This is text which we want to go on center page</center>
–> <blockquotes>Used to indent the paragraph.
–> Web Link:- <a href=”url”>link title</a> we have to type the website url in the place of url and in the link title space we have to text we want to use
Try to include images:-
Some times images speak more than words. It is recommended to include images in the post where necessary. Some times words speak and other times images speak. It is the bloggers wish to include images where ever appropriate. Images are the practical ways to convey some message to the readers. Some bloggers post less images, some will post both the things in equal way and some don’t use images because they find it difficult to find images. We can get pictures for the blogs at
Tagging:-
For a post tagging is important. When I started blogging I was not using any of the tags in any one of my post so I was loosing more than 50% of blog’s traffic. Tags are the keywords used by readers to find us from any other place whether in social networking sites or else in search engines.
How To Write Content for Your Blog?
For a website or blog content is the key. Some say content is plays key role and others say link building is the important one. But as far I think content is more important than link building. If your content is good then others will link to your blog automatically. How the blog posts can be written and what key factors you should consider before writing the content for the blog?
The blog content or post should be written in the following way:-
Introduction:-
Should be 100 words of one paragraph.
Description:-
It should consists of three paragraphs of 100 words.
Conclusion:-
It should consist of one paragraph of 100 words.
The content should be useful and unique so that the readers find some thing new and interesting on your blog.
Useful content:-
Some of the following examples of useful content are
Education : - Today there are many useful sites online through which users can learn some thing from them. Examples are http://www.w3schools.com/ . Here people can learn about html.
News : – People would like to read the latest news and keep them updated.
Forum : - People can discuss important things here.
Unique content:-
Some of the posts in the blog may not be original but it is re-written from other source. But writing the unique content makes people know your opinion of any thing. People always wanted to know what you are and what would you like to share? But before writing content check whether it makes some thing different from others.
Know the readers:-
It is important what people would like to see on your blog and what not? Do regular surveys and know about the people. This makes your blog good place for readers. This can be done regularly from time to time. Not only on our blog we can go in forums and get suggestions from other fellow bloggers or friends. By researching the readers from time to time we get exact idea what content should be produced? It is recommended to spend at least two to three hours for writing content. By spending less time you can’t prepare the content which can be read more.
Repeat keywords:-
It is important to write content with some keywords inserted in to it. It is good for welcoming some traffic from search engines. After writing content make sure to check any keywords exist in the post.
