How To Write Good Blog Content

Writing a blog that is a success comes by experience. There are so many things to consider, and that I can say there’s no magic formula that simplify the process. There are different ways of approaching blog writing which is what makes the blogosphere such an interesting place. So what one person considers an normal blog post might be considered fairly uninteresting to someone else.

The most important things that make a blog interesting depend from the eyes of the beholder:

• Is it the traffic you get from it
• The number of comments
• Link-back
• How it makes you feel

Many bloggers receive very little attention from some of the post they think are the better, while receive tons of attention from post they write in little minuts.

Is your Blog Scannable ?

According to source, people that scan the page for individual words or phrases, title and other visual cues are 25% slow than reading from paper. To check if your blog is scannable or people interact well with it, all you have to do is to ask a friend who not know your site to take a look a few of your recent posts.

Give them 15 to 30 seconds of time, and at the end ask them what the post was about. You’ll quickly get a response of how they’ve interacted with your blog.

Here’s an overview of guidelines you can use to write a good posts on your blog.

1. Write for people – Readers love what people think, and write good blog post are the better ways to make your opinion known to thousand of people. Let them know what you think and what they want to learn about your topic. Put your opine honestly, and help readers to solve their problem. Provides them the best solution through tips, tricks and you’ll see your site become popular, quickly.

2. Inside link – Add links inside your post to other pages. Make easy to connect your post with other related topics.

3. Appealing headlines – Summarize your full post in your writing headlines. The first thing people see is the headline because makes immediate impact on the reader, then make sure to do a good job of pulling your readers with a magnetic headline.

Sure you’ve only won half the battle for attract people to your article but is an important step in the process of getting attention. Pick the first title from 5 to 10 words long. If you choose an attractive title you will attract more readers to your post.

4. Short paragraph – Usually, in a common writing, the style is more formal then blogging and each paragraph includes one idea and develop many sentences. With blogging is different, because paragraphs may be short. They can develop on a single sentence or a single word, as well. Also, make sure to add a short headline within each paragraphs in order to make your article easy to scan.

5. How people think? – Includes keywords into the body text you think people should use. Make sure the keyword is natural.

6. Check, check, check – Don’t submit your post without re-read any single word, correct mistake, and cut the stuff that you don’t need.

7. Ask questions – Start a question and make sure that readers take part in the discussion.

8. Pictures – If you want getting readers to read full articles, then put an image into the key points of the body and you have more of a chance of getting readers to read full articles. It seems that readers eyes are drawn down the page by pictures.

9. Don’t use too Ideas in one post – If you want to cover many ideas at once all you have to do is to write a series of posts that link to each other.

10. SEO – There is a fairly strong question among SEO expert about the length of post. According to them, it seems that both extremely short and extremely long web pages are not ranked well as pages that are of a reasonable length. There is not precise answer about how many words are ideal – but according to the general opinion seems that the right balance is between at least 250 to 900 words.

To summarize you need to find your own way on this. Here at the3dtechnologies I tend to write at least one longer post per day, with article comes from 400 to 900-1000, that gives readers a bit of information.

11. Be original - Perhaps the biggest mistake many bloggers do is to say something that everyone else is saying. In this way you’re almost guaranteed of being largely ignored. The most known bloggers have always something unique to say.

12. Clarity and simplicity – Keep your posts and blog entries clear and easy to understand. Remember, the web is global and expressions, idioms and acronyms don’t always translate. Sometimes a little explanation goes a long way.

13. Spell checking and proof-reading – It only takes a few extra moments and can save you from having to make embarrassing explanations. Remember that whatever you publish on the Internet can be found and archived. Think carefully about what you post before doing so.

Conclusion

It very important on a blog what you have to say and how you say it. People come back to your blog if they like what you write and like your writing style is. You should write your blog by keeping it personable and in a tone appropriate to your blog topic, in order to invite interaction through blog comments and links back to your blog from other bloggers who like what you write.
