Strive to maintain a presence on your blog and be there when your readers have questions. Make a habit of responding to reader comments. Once you connect to your blog's followers, they expect your presence to be consistent. When you start feeling like you want to give up, keep in mind that your readers will be very disappointed.
Check to be certain you have not overused keywords, Adsense postings, images or plug-ins. If you do, search engines will flag you and will not list you in their results. Instead, write in a conversational tone that flows naturally.
Blog frequently. A common error that bloggers make is that they start a blog but post infrequent updates. Without updates, the readers, whose attention you grab at the beginning, will quickly tire of waiting for new content. A great idea is to make a new blog update weekly and update your readers by email.
It can be helpful to have a domain name of your own rather than creating a blog through a free blog service. Domain names are inexpensive and they will give your blog a more professional image. Having your own domain can make it easier for readers to remember and find your blog. Use your business name or a related keyword in your blog domain.
Blog about interesting things and provide relevant content. Everyone has general day-to-day chores, such as washing the dishes or vacuuming. But, absent an innovative, engaging method of discussing such topics, you are unlikely to hold visitors' interest if you talk about them. Select a subject that is sure to appeal to a large group of people. Your goal is to have a unique idea that will cause people to come to your blog and stay.
