What is blogging? What people are looking for when they come to your blog? What are you looking for when you are reading other people’s blog? What is the main thing you are looking for on a blog? So, what would be your answers for all the questions?
Well, what I can say is that we are not looking for videos and we are not looking for pictures but we are all looking for information; information that is going to solve our problems.
That is why we use Google to find for answers to solve our problems. Right? When we are visiting a blog, our mind is already automatically set to look for great information and it is set to reading mode without we knowing it.
In the world of blogging, our main concern to get visitors to our blog is not about leaving comments on other blogs (although this works to get some visitors), not to aim for getting a lot of backlinks to our blog (although this works for long term visitors), not about getting our blog listed in online directories (Not sure can get visitors or not) but we should put our main focus and concentrate our efforts on blogging and writing high quality contents for our readers.
Believe it or not, visitors and backlinks will come to your blog automatically if and only if your blog is having valuable information and high quality contents that is hardly found elsewhere (This is quite true and it works).
If you are blogging but most of your time spent is not on creating content, then you can get custom writing from copsnwriters.com. I am not saying that having clean designs, SEO and networking are not important; they are important but the main aim about blogging is the contents itself.
A lot of people come to a blog because of the contents it offers. Producing superb contents for your blog should be the first priority and after you have great contents on your blog then you can use your extra time to do SEO and networking.
Over the years of blogging, I found a lot of great blogs with designs that are so simple and so unattractive but it is getting so many visitors and it is ranked so high in search engines.
I keep on thinking and thinking but I can’t seem to find an answer for it only when I started reading the blog and I finally understand.
A Blog Is Not A Place For You to Show Off Your Blog Design
BUT
A Place For You to Display Your Great Contents
I have read a lot of blogs, probably hundreds or thousands of blogs and I did some comparisons among top blogs and lower ranking blog.
I found that top blogs of the world have a magic ingredient in their blog and the magic ingredient is the ability to write blog posts that are so good and so engaging.
Today, no matter what niche you are in, you are going to face tough competition. There are millions of websites or blogs writing in the same niche as you are.
How to make your site or blog appealing and stand out from the crowd?
What most of us will think of is concentrate on SEO, get more backlinks or any other methods that can bring in some visitors. For me, I think that focusing my energy on writing high quality and engaging articles is the way that can set my blog apart from competition. This is the only way to gain reputation and gain long term readers for my blog.
What is the aim of Writing Great Contents to Our Blog?
Writing great contents can capture more people to read your blog and get them to come back for more. That is one of the aims.
The real thing about great contents is that you can create a very enjoyable reading experience for your blog readers and finally, the aim is to hope that your readers can help you to pass your articles to their friends and bring in more new visitors. And, that is the power of high quality articles.
That Aims of Great Articles
- Drive more traffic from search engines using keyword optimized articles
- Gain more constant readers by offering free newsletter subscribe
- Gain more visitors through word of mouth of visitors
- Get visitors to automatically share my articles to drive more new visitors
Some of the articles on my blog are getting backlinks, comments and getting tweets by my blog readers. I believe that it does not happen by luck but it is due to the information I give to my blog readers that encourage them to do so because they feel happy they found my blog and read my articles.
