Writing quality content is the most important thing about blogging. That is why every serious blogger out there needs to attach a lot of importance to blog posting. Writing the articles is easy, but you must always ask yourself about the value they are going to add to your blog.
I have listed some of the most important things you need to check on when posting in your blog.
Keyword research- There are various phrases people use when trying to find something on the world wide web. The articles you are writing need to have these keywords so that you can be ranked well by the search engines. You can use the Google Keyword Tool to find relevant keywords, their popularity and competition. There is one rule when it comes to using keywords: don't spam. Just make sure the keyword appears at the beginning, somewhere at the middle and at the end.
Posting Frequency- You don't need to post every single day of the week, but it would be a good idea if you post your articles at particular days and times. For example, you can have a new article on your blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sticking to this pattern ensures your readers are always expecting a new article at a particular day. It also shows commitment towards providing your readers with great content when they expect it.
Quality- Between quality and quantity, I would always choose quality. If you can't churn great articles every day, one killer post every week would do just fine. It does great disservice to your blog if you keep boring your readers in the name of posting frequently.
Length of post- I would say that post length rarely matters. However, avoid making your post long if you could provide the same information on a shorter one. Internet users are very lazy and are easily bored. A 400-700 article would do the trick.
Write list posts-People just love list posts, especially if you are giving tips. They can be easily scanned and are understood better. They also can go viral easily.
By attaching great importance to your blog posting you will definitely see results. Using the above methods can take your blog to new heights and help you achieve the success you have always desired.
