15. If you still find any thing missing then read following explanation of all points I hope all your questions will be covered.
Don't blog if you don't specialize:
Many new bloggers thinks that; 'teaching people how to make money' is the only source to earn. That is the greatest misconception, don't worry about other people, there are many other sites who teach 'how to make money' no need of yours, please don't mind but that is fact. 10% of blogs are made on this topic, this is a huge amount and if you also do it then you can be found at 110th page of search result for sure. Open up your mind people, there a many other topics to write upon, take anything you want but try to write a topic in which you specialize.
If you can't keep a reader reading your article till the end, you can't blog: This point is somehow related to first point, if you don't write the topic of your specialty, it will definitely be reflected on your blogs. Try to be short as no one has time to read crap, so be short but be descriptive.
Title is the only chance to attract reader, be title conscious: Your were visiting this site and you read the title "15 blogging tips, my life experience (must read article for bloggers)" or you may have found this article in search results and you were attracted (I hope you will also learn from this article) so first thing to attract is to have good title. So be title conscious, try to tell as much about your article as you can in your title.
If you don't have at least 7 articles/posts to entertain your reader, he/she will never come back: Basically what I am trying to say that if a reader reads your article and wants more form you, you must have something more to offer, he must have something more to remain your loyal visitor, according to my humble opinion you must have at least 7 more informative articles to offer. And you should update your blog at least once in a week and when you reach to 60 posts you can minimize it by 1 post per month or less.
If your blog is heavily animated or graphics oriented expect 50% less traffic: If you have something useful then no need to animate your blog heavily, just think are these animated graphics useful to your visitor? If yes then you are welcome to post anything and if o then avoid it.
Homepage is the mirror of all the stuff you have: If you can create a single page in 60 minutes, then I would say spend 6 days on your home page, make it as user friendly and easy to use as possible, link all your major posts to your homepage, all your pages should have a link to your home page, you can see my blog as an example. If your first five posts were most appreciated then create links and tell your visitors about "the best 5 posts of all time" on your blog.
Don't mess up your blog by mixing entirely different topics, if you have different articles then make different blogs: Don't mess up your blog with different topics, what will you say about a blog with softwares and different food information, there are many people who want to write in different topics so they choose their good traffic blog to write about other topic, this will create a bad impression, never do it.
Don't copy content of other sites, if it is really necessary then mention it, that you have taken it form that site:The reason why your blog is not indexed or if indexed then comes on last pages is you copy others content, search engine spiders are now very intelligent so be careful, if you really like something of any other blog then mention it that I have copied for this site it will not only give credit to real writer but will create a good reputation of yours and at least don't paste a copied material on homepage.
Be loyal to your readers: Readers are more intelligent then you, if you don't follow this rule then you will not get what you want. Be loyal to them if you want their sincerity, if any reader doesn't find anything good from your blog, then will he visit you again? Ask yourself. So before advertising your site you should prepare a user ready site first.
Returning visitor is actual visitor: It is really easy to make anyone visit your site for the first time, this can be done by so many ways, through PPC, linking your site with anyone, or even writing an article and submitting it to article directory, but it doesn't matter, the thing which matters I the return of that visitor again to read more. Of you gain one returning visitor daily, it will make thousands in a year.
Having only 100 loyal and returning visitors is a lot better than 10000 forced visitors through PPC sites (sites who pay people to visit your site for at least 30 seconds): Every point of this article is related with another, as I said if you gain one returning visitor daily, it will make thousands in a year, what it means is a returning visitor will not only visit your site regularly but can also prove to be a traffic source, I a visitor is a new blogger he may appreciate you by linking your site, he may tell other friends and family, there are many others reasons for incoming traffic so try to have loyal visitors instead of forced users.
Feeds are very important factors of blogging: If any visitor wants your posts to be emailed to him, so I doesn't miss any of your post then don't waste your time, give the user this opportunity. Feed burner is best resource. Create a mailing list from the beginning; mailing list is an alternate name of 'earning' in blogging. You can read a detail article of mailing list on my blog, look for it in my profile:
Mailing list is an individual topic itself so I have discussed this topic individually, here I can give you a concept, email of your readers are very important, you can remind them about your site, you can tell about any new post or product. Getting indexed in search engines is very easy, but coming in top ten is important (which is very difficult indeed):
I don't know why people think it is difficult to get indexed, I is as easy as to make a website, just a little work to do and you are in. but most difficult thing to do is to get in the top 10 rank in your niche, to get high rank is discussed in 'high rank' tab in my blog. But if you still feel something is missing: I will love to answer your question, you can comment here or directly on my blog, even if you want me to review your site, just comment.
