How to Blog to Increase Readership

Seth Godin's headI am about to help out Linda Settles with her new blog, and I was looking for some quick pointers to help her out. I came across Seth Godin’s “riffs on marketing, respect, and the ways ideas spread” – this is a really good article: How to get traffic for your blog. Pay attention to #18, 19 and 40. 

Some trends in well-read blogs that I came across…

 

1. Frequently updated
2. Short and to the point
3. Interesting to read
4. Includes pictures in every blog
5. Includes video and/or audio on occasion
6. Clever titles
7. Includes at least 3 backlinks
8. Relevant to the reader
9. Personable and “real”
10. Includes tags
Also you should check out FeedBlitz

    by the way, pay no attention to Seth’s “no comments” rule. I heart comments.
