To make successful blog you need lot of visitors for your blog without visitors your blog is of no use. To bring visitors and create a good blog you need to do lot of good things to make your blog successful.

There are many points you must follow to create a successful blog. Here are some of points you must consider before starting a new blog.

1. Blog Host – This is the question many blogger ask. Should they start blog on there own domain or use any free services like Blogger.com? My opinion would be if you are serious with blog then always go with your own domain name. If you start your blog on free service and after sometime you switch to your own domain then you will loose lot of visitors as many visitors come from search engine. Your visitors will recognize you on that domain not on new. Self domain creates your own identity and branding.  You can promote your site to everyone as it shows your own identity.

2. Blog Design – 

Many of new bloggers search for free templates for there blog. Sometime they found very good blog design but sometime they not and they choose design what they like. Many cans argue that it doesn’t matter how your blog looks it is important to have the quality content. Yes I also agree good content makes good blog but here is my another opinion. There are many types of visitor who land to a blog some of them are interested in content, some of them came just searching and leave your site straight away as they found their solution and there are many who will just leave your site because they do not find your site attractive.

You do not need to spend lot of money designing your blog but you must search for good looking design or you can look for readymade themes which do not cost much.

3. Right Plugin – Mostly blogger choose WordPress as blogging platform to get most out from WordPress blog you need some good plugin which can increase your blog productivity, visitors interaction, search engine ranking and lot of other benefits. You can find some good plugins from my another blog codefear.com.

4. Good Content – As you may have heard lot of time content is King. It will be always true that content is King. Why people will come to your blog? To find interesting and useful information. What if I present you a music DVD filled with some crap music you never want to listen. What will you do to that DVD; you may put it in a corner or you want to break that DVD. Same applies for bad content your content will be of no use to others. Search for what people want to read and create quality content of there interest.

5. Blog Promotion – Now you have a self hosted blog, good blog design, right plugins and very good content is this of any use without visitors. Blog popularity is majored by how many visitors come to that site. Bringing visitors to your site is difficult task but there are plenty of ways you can bring visitors to your site. Submit your site to all major search engines you can get lot of visitors from search engines. Submit your blog post to top social bookmaking site. Make comments on other blog, create your profile on social networking site and make friends. There are many other ways you can bring visitors to your website

I am talking about “Google AdWords Keyword Tool”. As far I think it is the best I only use Google Keyword tool for my all keyword research. I have tried many other keyword tools but I don’t find them as better ad Google AdWords Keyword tool.
What we want from a keyword research? Related search queries this is what we search for. As all knows that Google is number 1 search engine and most of the people use Google and we need keyword research from Google.

All other keyword research tools also bring data from Google then why not use Google Keyword directly. When we research on Google Keyword tool it shows results with Advertiser Competition, Local Search Volume and Global Monthly Search Volume. It makes our research complete. Results show all related search for given keywords along with “Additional keywords to be considered”.

You get about 200 keywords as result and I think it is more then enough. After getting results you know what people are searching, related keywords and local search volume too. We these information you can target you website for your niche. Advertiser Competition shows how much competition is there for paid advertisement. If you are doing keyword research for your site content and earning from AdSense then Advertiser Competition will help you to choose right keyword.

Along with Google AdWords Keyword Tool you can use “Google Search-based Keyword Tool”.  This will show you approx how much advertisers are willing to pay for a keyword on Pay Per Click basis. This will help you more to earn from Google AdSense or any other PPC program.

If you know much better free keyword research tool then please share.

Many bloggers submit there post to social bookmarking sites but many of them got frustrated when they don’t receive visitors from those sites and they think it is waste of time to submit site to social bookmarking site.

If any blog receives some traffic from social bookmarking site even after that webmasters are not satisfied because bounce rate of visitors from social bookmarking site is too high. Not just that traffic to your site is not consistent one day you get 5000 visitors and next day you get 0 visitors from social bookmarking sites.

It’s true – Yes bounce rate of visitors from social bookmarking site is too high as much as 95%. You may not get regular visitors from social bookmarking. It is little time taking process to submit post to social bookmarking site.
(Bounce rate is when visitors come to your site and leave your site after landing page)

If you want to utilize the power of social bookmarking site then you have to focus on few things. Social bookmarking site can be good visitor’s source for your site and can give your site regular visitors.

How to get most from Social Bookmarking Sites?

1. Don’t expect you will always get lot of visitors from social bookmarking site.
2. Don’t try to submit your post to many social bookmarking site just submit to top 5 social bookmarking site like Digg, Reddit etc.
3. Submit your post to right category.
4. Submitting timing – This is very important if you can get information on which timing there are most visitors at social bookmarking site and submitting your site at that time can bring many visitors to your site.
5. Write good post title. When people see your listing the first impression is your post title if it is attractive they can visit your site.
6. If you don’t get visitors don’t worry at least you are getting a back link to your post.
7. If you have submitted a good post then it is not important to get visitors at same day. Many people search on social bookmarking site and they can find your post and you can get visitors for long time.
8. Make lot of friends on social bookmarking site. Those friends can rate your post and can send lot of visitors to your site.
9. Don’t just submit your site through your account else bookmarking site will think you as spammer. Submit other sites you like and your friend’s site you made on those sites.
10. There are some free services which will submit your post to many social bookmarking sites in just few clicks. Like onlywire.com

It is not important everyone can be successful on social bookmarking site but some proper time investment can bring hundreds of free visitors to your site. No problem if there is lot of bounce rate at least some of them can become your loyal visitors.

After starting my blog I started writing regularly but after few days I found I am short of topic and writing was not a great pleaser experience for me. I not found it interesting to write regularly. It is very boring to write.

I am not a writer and I have not taken any formal education on writing. I don’t know how to write good quality content and even I am not able to understand on which topic I should write because of that I hate blogging.

Then who sad to write, actually this was my decision and I must love writing for my blog but question is how.

This can be the problem of many bloggers. Many blogs die soon after there launch. Why those blog dies when there are some good post. There are lots of question on this problem like, how to write regularly, how to love blogging, how to write good blog post, how to get idea for my next post and many more questions.

There are many new bloggers who are inspired and read other blogs like Problogger, Copyblogger, DailyBlogTips, etc and I must say they are the best blog and every blogger must learn from them. Even after reading inspiring post on those blogs bloggers are not able to love blogging. Why this happens?

Reasons Why Some New Bloggers Give up

1. They had not created a long term plan before starting there blog.
2. They created a blog on a niche on which they have not much knowledge.
3. They read some good blogs but not read other blogs of there own blog niche.
4. They don’t have much time to write and they want to finish there writing job quickly.
5. They do not create a list for future post.

These are some examples this list can be long.

How to overcome this problem?

1. Create a blog on a niche which you have some good knowledge and you can write on that topic for long time. Pick the topic on which you are passionate.

2. It is not important to have only one niche for a blog. If you think you can write on some other niche too then write for those topics on same blog.

3. Read other blogs on same niche for which you write this will give you idea for your new post.

4. Write, Write and Write this will start making love you writing. As much you will write you will find you love writing.

5. Read, Read and Read this will fill your mind with ideas. When you read you get idea for future post this will again help you to love writing.

6. Don’t think you have to write daily if you can write few good posts per week then do that. There are many popular blog who just write 3-4 post per week and those post bring lot of visitors per day for them.

7. Set some small targets for your blog and always try to archive those targets. When you will archive some target it will boost your confidence this will make you love your job.

Will affiliate marketing success continue in this current resection time? Many affiliate marketers are seeing their earning falling down but there are many who says they have not found any problem. I don’t know is this topic for debate or is there any real problem.

Affiliate marketers earn by various way from pay per lead to pay per sale. Every web marketer is specialized in their own space PPL or PPS. Small affiliates have earned most with pay per lead.

In this slowdown most affiliate’s earnings are down in pay per sale programs. Affiliate marketers earn with PPS when someone buy a product. PPS make some great money as for every sale pays from 5% to 20% or more. At current time many people’s jobs are lost and many are not in better position to spend lot of money on buying this have made affiliate sales much less then past.

On other hand many affiliate marketers are still earning big bucks with pay per lead program where there prospect have nothing to buy. When you don’t have to spend anything on particular task you take part in those program because of this affiliate marketers focusing on PPL are still making good money.

Lot of affiliates are facing problem from 4when Google AdWords stopped third party URLs on their ads this stopped many affiliates earning who were making good money with their autopilot program. Where they generate good income after setting up there affiliate ads on Google AdWords.

Good affiliate marketers found many other ways of promoting there affiliate product and started earning with affiliate program for other countries.

Few days back I was reading somewhere that internet users are got down in this slow down. If it’s true then affiliate marketers are going to face some problems.

On other hand I found many affiliate marketers earnings are increased in past few months which is a great news. Two different views are making me confuse is slowdown is impacting affiliate marketing or it is still in good shape.
If you are also an affiliate then please shares in which situation you are good or bad. Is affiliate marketing still working for you?

The question is to be successful do we just think about ourselves? The answers can be different by different people. My answer would be don’t think about yourselves if you want to be successful. Why I have put this question? To be successful in real life or as a blogger you have to stop thinking about yourself start thinking about others. It doesn’t matter in which field you want to be successful matter is you want to be successful.

Why I should not talk about Me? Think you are chatting with some people and one of them is just talking about himself. I am this, I have done this, I bought this, I like this and so on. Will you be interested in this type of people? I think you don’t like this type of people. Same can be applies to you if you are also this type of person.

Start thinking about other this will feel you happy and will make you popular. Think same as above you are chatting with others and now you are talking about others. You appreciate others work and thought they will be interested in you because you are talking about them not yourself. This will make them proud and they will start felling great about you as you are appreciating them.

Why think about others?

This same applies for blogging if you just write about yourself you will not get many visitors. People will not come to read just about you they need something which can benefit them.

What should I write about? You need to write what your visitors want not what you want. Yes you will write what you know and what expertise you have. But when you write what you know don’t try to force your opinion you can explain you visitors what you think about a topic and what your visitors think on that topic.

As a successful blogger people ask many questions about you. This is the time when you can speak about yourself but at this time you still need to take care about what you are telling about yourself. Be careful when you write about you self people should not take you as egoist.

Now I will talk about myself. This is what I feel I can be wrong but this suggestion will not make you lose anything but it will give you something. Please reply what you think about this post.
