weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged
chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser.’ ‘A frequent,
chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.’ ‘From
“Web log.” A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web.
The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a

‘ ‘A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a human guide who you get
to know. There are many guides to choose from, each develops an
audience, and there’s also comraderie and politics between the people
who run weblogs, they point to each other, in all kinds of structures,
graphs, loops, etc.’
‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the
web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps
a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software
that allows people with little or no technical background to update and
maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in
cronological order with the most recent additions featured most
prominantly.’
‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a
regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term
blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog,
maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called
“blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,”
“posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a
“blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other
web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a
conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular
“area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on.
Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’
10 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BLOG
1. Create link clusters within your blog
A
link cluster is a group of links that you can point at a post or page
to improve its search engine ranking. Let’s say you have a post that’s
ranked for ‘stupid business ideas’. Edit 10 of your other posts to
create links (using ‘stupid business ideas’ as the anchor text) to the
‘stupid business ideas’ post and you will surely move up in Google for
that keyword. This process can be implemented in about
10 minutes and can be used for any keyword your site ranks for or is trying to rank for.
2. Rework HTML title tags of trafficked posts
By
watching your stats, you can often identify posts that get search
traffic from a keyword, even though the keyword isn’t listed in the HTML
title of the post. By editing your posts’ HTML titles to add the
keywords they cover, you can strengthen the rankings and therefore the
traffic that the post generates. You can easily make a difference with
this method in less than
20 minutes. This method combines very well with #1.
3. Invite your readers to connect with you on StumbleUpon and Facebook
You
can never ever have too many friends on SU and Facebook. Inviting
existing readers to find you on these services with a post should take
less than
20 minutes.
4. Save your best posts for the best times of the week
Writing
a home-run post on a Saturday afternoon will probably happen from time
to time. However, does your blog have good traffic on Saturdays?
Analyzing your blog’s stats to determine when it naturally has the most
traffic can get more eyes on a great post, which will translate to more
social votes and more links. If you have created the post of your life,
wait for a good day to publish – it will cost you about
1 minute on a later date to put it up.
5. Edit your post one more time
How can you improve your title? How can you improve your first paragraph? Small details in your post,
especially in the beginning of your post,
can make an enormous difference in its ability to draw social traffic
and links. You can definitely improve your title, first paragraph,
formatting, and grammar within
30 minutes.
6. Stop writing about yourself. Start solving problems
Surfers
become readers when a blog provides something that is wanted. A casual
visitor may read your blog because they find training, answers to
problems, entertainment, or something else
they want. This more
than likely will mean that they won’t want to read about you, your
girlfriend, your cats, your kids, or your catastrophes (unless you have a
personal blog that your friends read). Discontinuing the off-topic
posts will help you to develop more repeat traffic and takes exactly
0 minutes to implement.
7. Subscribe to the feeds of your industry’s major players
That
way, you won’t miss important news releases. When news breaks in your
industry, there will be a lot of extra traffic searching for information
on the event. Adding your thoughts will almost always generate extra
traffic. Subscribing to the feeds of your industry’s top sites should
take no more than
15 minutes.
8. Give a great post to a prominent blog
Let’s
say that you took the time to write something great. Donating your post
to a great blogger can help you to create a win-win. The great blogger
gets a great piece of content that will bring him social traffic and
links and you can create exposure for your name and brand. Emailing your
post to a great blogger or blog takes less than
10 minutes.
9. Go to the store
Look
at magazines. Pay special attention to the types of titles that are
used on the covers. Write down the most interesting titles and think
about what makes them interesting. In order to generate buzz around a
post, a great title is an absolute necessity. More on this topic

find some good title ideas in about
30 minutes.
10. Answer your email and comment questionsead
Nothing
will show a reader that you care more than answering an question (even
if you have already answered that question 100 times on your site). Why
do people read your blog? Because you solve their problems. Why will
they come back again and again to your blog? Because you solve their
problems. Answering a person’s email or comment question should take
less than
5 minutes
