Everyone knows that the internet’s growth has been exponential, and will continue to be that way until it takes over the world (if it hasn’t already). Blog networks also seem to follow this trend, and the blogging community is taking on the shape of a never-ending organism as more and more internet users are turned on to the exciting world of social blogging.
As a blog publisher, how do you make your blog network stand out amidst this screaming mass of independent organisms? It can be difficult, but there are some tricks which will attract attention to your site.
1.Design – Duh. Make your site look interesting, or nobody will even stick around long enough to read your text!
2. Useful Content – Posts about your cat’s birthday party, while interesting to you, are not what people are searching for on the internet.
3. Be Prolific – After that first visit, visitors to your blog aren’t going to stick around if you only update when the stars are aligned.
4. Love Your Readers to Death – Well, maybe not to death or they won’t keep reading your blog…
5. Develop a Unique Voice – Even if you have the secret to eternal life, no one will read your blog if it sounds like the dictionary.
