10 SECRETS TO BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL BLOG

For now am just going to post them in point form and wont try to explain because way behind schedule but am writing a detailed explanation for each tip or bulleted point.

1. Don't wait for Google to index your website, every time you publish a post because Google does not index it right there and then,do it manually by logging into Google webmaster tools.

2. Don't add more than one label to a blog post.search engines like Google may think its a duplicate copy of the post and may lower your search rankings or appearance.Make your label so you dont miss out on certain search keywords and terms.

3.Submit your site to any search engine that accepts urls,mind you their are a lot search engines out there dont always rely on Google.

4.Increase your engagement...You need to find a way to let people comment on your blog,other bloggers will not even comment on your blog especially if you are in the same niche' because you are a competition for them.

My friend luke users a technique he calls comment collection.with this technique you get to visit blogs in your niche' or other related niche's and you see people that comment on these website,most of these people are bloggers and these are bloggers that just don't scroll through a post but they take the time to read the whole post leave their opinion in the comments.

6.Make friends.making friends online is very important wont lie am a big fan if you,you can chat with them through facebook or twitter even better via skype.
If other bloggers don't know or don't like you its highly unlikely they will even give you any backlinks trust me on this one.

The more blogger friends you make the more the chances of growing a successful blog. There is just something about being social that makes things work like magic.

7.Every blog needs a logo,don't look at mine am still working on it.There are free sites you can use to make a logo.Like logomaker and designmatic you have search engines at your disposal make use of them

8.Guest blogging.. also very important though i haven't yet tried it,probably the reason i get between 400 and 600 page views per month.Am yet to try it but if you run a blog like mine their are a few reputable websites that could give you some Google backlink quality.

Will only give you 2 websites for submitting guest post Shoutmeloud and IIntergeek .I did this on purpose because these websites will only accept some really good post.Luke's guest post guidelines  are what i use when writing some of my blog posts. If they too strict for you then you probably dont want to have a successful blog.

9.WORDS COUNT>>..If you want your blog to get some good traffic for big search engines like Google you need to make sure that you write some high quality post with words above 700 atleast more would be an added advantage but dont over optimize key words.

10.OPTIMIZE YOUR IMAGES.This right here is very important,images play a very big role on the success of your blog,large images will slow down speed of your blog and remember search engines also index images.If your images are not properly optimized the alt tags on your images,Google bots will not be able to gather information on what actually on those images.
