How to set up a blog that will win huge traffic and profits for you

No online entrepreneur can afford to ignore blogs. Yet setting up a blog for high traffic has eluded many who have tried out the blog experience. There are certain rules you will need to carefully observe, if you want to set up a high traffic blog that will benefit your online business.

a) What is your blog about?

The weakness with a vast number of blogs is that they do not have a clear subject. The blogger starts out with something they want to say. They say it in the first few blogs and then start going round in circles talking about issues and subjects that are totally unrelated with what they started out with. Not only do you need a clear subject, you also need to know who you want to address. Who are the readers that you targeting for your blog? It also helps a great deal, if you want to build up your traffic quickly, to peg your subject matter on recent news and events. With the amazing research capabilities of the net, finding the right news and events to link to your site is extremely easy. Blogs usually feature quite high in search engine rankings. I always get amazed at the amount of search engine traffic I attract to my blogs by simply mentioning a few current events and stuff in the news that is related to what I am trying to say.

b) You can NOT afford to be boring

Print magazines and books have thrived over the centuries, despite boring their readers to tears sometimes. There were many factors that allowed this situation. Some times it is the valuable cash that you have already expended to purchase the book or magazine that forces you to read through stuff. Unfortunately any hint of boring your audience or rambling on for a little too long, online will quickly drive away your traffic. Always remember that getting away from you and your blog is just a click away. Actually the more controversial your blog is the higher the chances of attracting traffic. But you cannot be controversial for the sake of it, you need to touch on a subject or area of interest that is close to the hearts of your readers.

c) How many people are linked to you?

Most people get to web sites via search engines. With blogs a sizeable number of them get there through links. So quite simply put, blogs are all about accumulating as many links to you as you possibly can. There are various ways of doing this. But the idea is to get as creative as possible. For example you can start off by going to your email in box and sending out an email (to only people who have already given you permission to email them) announcing a controversial subject of interest currently being covered in your blog. When you are through with the in box, you can move to your out box or sent mail, as quite often you will find addresses that are not in your in box. Again you can also use your signature at the end of your email message to get the word out. Hotmail used a small signature message in all mail being sent out by users to grow from a cold start to several million users in a matter of weeks.
