4 Steps to Better Blogging

4 Steps to Better Blogging

Blogging is a great way to get traffic to your site. Search engines rank blogs high because the blogs are usually updated a lot and people generally love to read blogs. However, there are a few things you can do to get the most out of your blogs.

Here are 4 steps to better blogging.

• Blog Once a Day for at Least a Week

This is something you should make sure you do when you first start your blog. You want to post a new blog every single day for at least the first seven days. This will let the search engines see that the blog is constantly updated and it will give you a higher search engine ranking.

• Pay Attention to Your Anchor Text

Anchoring text is when you put a link with a word or a phrase. Then the word or phrase appears as a hyperlink that can be clicked on by the reader. The reader will then be brought to wherever the link
leads.

You should always take a keyword or phrase and sprinkle it in your blog. Then anchor those words or phrases back to your site. This will help get you more direct traffic from your blog and it will also help the linked site rank well with the search engines for the keywords or phrases you’ve anchored.

• Utilize Social Bookmarking

There are many social bookmarking sites on the Internet that you should bookmark your site on. Every time you write a new post, make sure you bookmark it. This will give you more backlinks to your blog (which will help with the search engine ranking) and it will also get you some traffic directly from the bookmarking sites.

Some of the most popular bookmarking sites include Digg.com, StumbleUpon.com, and Reddit.com.

• Include a Call to Action

This seems like a no-brainer but more than a few people forget to do this on their blogs. Include a call to action on the blog itself, in the side bar. If the individual blog post lends itself to it, also include a call to action right in the blog post.

If you don’t ask someone to go to your site then no one is going to go there. So make sure you always include a call to action.

4 steps to blogging right are to blog once a day for at least a week, anchor text in your blog, bookmark every new blog post, and include a call to action on your blog and with individual blog posts. If you do these 4 things then you will be successful with getting traffic to your main site from your blogging site.

The 10 Top Article Submission Sites

Before we get to the 10 top article submission sites, let’s take a quick look at how article writing works with Internet Marketing.

There are three main parts to writing and submitting an article online. The first part involves choosing the keywords you want to target and then researching the article. The next part involves actually writing the article. The third part is submitting the article along with a call to action.

To take action, decide on the keyword phrase you want to target in your article. This will dictate what the article will be about. Once you’re ready, then you need to write the article being sure to include the chosen keyword phrase in the title, the introduction, the conclusion, and a couple times throughout the body of the article. When you’re done writing the article you are ready to submit it to one or more article submission sites.

Here are the 10 top article submission sites:

EzineArticles is one of the most popular and considered the best. Some of them are better than others, and all of them have their own set of rules that must be followed. So make sure you know the rules before submitting or you’ll waste a lot of time and energy submitting articles only to have to rewrite them because they got rejected.

For example, some of these sites allow you to include links in your articles while others don’t. Some of these sites will let you have affiliate links with your articles while other sites won’t. So again, make sure you know what is and isn’t allowed on each site.

When you write an article online for the purpose of article marketing then you’ll have to submit that article to one or more article submission sites. Copy the list above of the 10 top article submission sites and make sure to utilize these sites to gain success with article marketing.
