There are millions of people trying to make a blog and trying even harder to get it noticed. When making a good blog it is all about the post and the content. Spending too much time on the look and the ads is just going to leave you in the white space of Google with one big headache. What will happen next? You will most likely give up and all of your big plans for making money off a great blog will vanish into thin air. It is important to remember that patience is your best friend when it comes to making a blog. Another big thing is your post and the uniqueness of them. If you think about it? Most people are thinking of the money, keywords, Google, ads and appearance. People are not going to find your blog no matter how clean and great it looks. No one is just going to visit your blog and click on some ads. What do you do when you go to a site full of adds? You avoid them completely, it is all about the writing. Now I am not saying that money is out of the question. The point is having your mind on the money too hard is going to leave you with failure. You need to have passion for writing. Instead of thinking about the money, you need to be thinking on how your post is going to impact someone. One great post will crush a million week post cluttered with keywords. Don't follow the crowed. There are tons of people following the same interest with the same keywords and the same adds. You are just attaching yourself to a long list of many fighting for that top spot in Google. You end up buying software like keyword tools, article submission software, back link services. Everyone is doing the same thing and most of them have just wasted their time and money trying to make money. If you want to make a blog about movie reviews, weight loss, fashion, gaming etc., I hate to say it but, those spots are already filled, you don't want to waste your time. All you will be doing is spending your time competing with back links and power. You will be spending most of your time searching for tricks to get your blog noticed rather than the actual blog post and content it self. This is when people give up. The way you are using keywords. It is really hard to write when your mind is consumed with fitting certain keywords in the post. I have seen many post with a keyword I was trying to use and you really do not see that keyword in the post at all. That is because the post was written very well with a good title. The keyword it self blossomed like a flower and was completely relevant with the entire post and title. Search engines are not looking for the post with the most keywords. They are looking for the post that is most relevant to the keyword with good content. Don't think of how you are going to fit keywords in, think of how you can make the keyword have some impact. This will expand your ideas for writing. Ideas for writing and making a good post. Passion, love stories, humor, good ideas, controversy, strong opinions, true stories, interesting, these are the key substances for making a good post. Don't write for Google, write from your heart. Put some passion and feeling into what you are writing. Don't think about when or how people are going to click on your links or ads. Think of someone reading your entire post and how it is going to make them feel or react. If you are thinking about the reader instead of the money, your post will have a much bigger impact which will provoke comments. This will give your blog life and attention. All it takes is one great post. Lets say you have already written many blog post and you have found that they are not getting any attention, readers or response. Don't give up or feel defeated, all it takes is one great post to get many visitors to your blog. Think of something good and spend your time on it. Study and make your post shine. Book mark your post and spend your time trying to get attention to that one post instead of the blog it self. Instead of back linking your blog, back link your post. If you feel that your other post are good, then that one post will lead readers to your others. Lets face it when people are searching for something in particular, they are looking for answers, ideas and good stories. They are not looking to spend money or click on ads or links. Keep your blog clean and do not clutter it with ads. Having one great post with one good ad, will give you a better chance of making some money. Convince yourself that you are not trying to make money but, you are trying to get attention too your writing. I started to make a blog and I gave up. I wrote this article because these are the things I did wrong. I have found that I enjoy getting feedback from my writing, it is a lot of fun and it has taken my mind of making money. The most important thing you need in your blog post is comments and reaction. When there are many people commenting on a post, that is when it will get noticed. You need to provoke reaction and interest. Square one, it is all about the content.
