Hi DI Readers,
I just posted a topic on Labnol forum yesterday - the link is given "http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/startup-technology-blog" and got a pretty decent responses.
My next general question is how long will it take a make a blog popular .. ie in terms of months and years, Also will the social bookmarking and aggregating will improve the traffic to blogs in a long run
If you work very organized then you should be in the race within a year getting recognized by Google with a reasonable pagerank. All you need to do is to develop a passion for blogging. Read about blogging, SEO, basics of HTML,PHP, CSS to understand and customize a blog, what I mean is basically a groundwork.
1. Get a hosted blog
2. Write a minimum of 3 posts per week. Create RSS feeds and Email subscriptions.
3. Learn basic SEO and start implementing right from the starting stage. Never involve yourselves in black hat techniques.
4. Do not concentrate in revenue until you get reasonable page views.
5. Involve in social networking and start building a network of your own. Stay away from Link farming and Link selling networks.
6. Try to get back links by guest blogging, writing articles, commenting on blogs of your niche, forums etc.
7. Keep doing all the above without fail.
My blog take one year for reach near 1000 visitors per day.
Just Visit http://www.cubestat.com to know the daily page views of a site...
When i started blogging i was getting about 10 visitors per week.. Than i deleted about 30 articles from my blog out of 55 which i wrote in a month and i came to know that i was depending upon quantitiy and not quality.
Now i have changed my style and i write only 3 articles per week which are well deserving to be read.
I made many mistakes and learned from them. And wrote an aticle so others can also learn from it.
