How To Write A Perfect Blog Post

By Don Bethune

Traffic is important to any website, be it a business one or a personal blog. If you are a manager of a site then you might have pondered from time to time on the various ways to increase traffic on your site which could be an adult site or for, say Canadian users.

My answer is clear: you should make your website well-known and attractive. And both of these are dependent on the content of your website. In this article, I will share some tips that would help you write a perfect blog post for your site.

Most people search the net for what they want by typing in the search engines, certain key words. Search engines actually use key words to index and retrieve page links. To increase traffic to your site, your blog post title should contain some key words. This is as the keywords in the title, are the ones that are more important, in directing a user to a certain article than the ones in the body of the article.

However, because search results usually contain huge lists of page links, if your title is not attractive, the users will not open it. Therefore, you should name the title attractively. In my opinion, an attractive title should be concise, state clearly about the goal and/or the content of the page. And it should make the potential reader thing that they would be benefit if they read it.

The body of your post should be as attractive as its title and both should be in consistency with each other to make it interesting. It should be the best part of the article. If the body of the post is not interesting then the reader will be let down and not revisit your site and that would be the exact opposite of your goal, i.e. to increase traffic to your site.

One thing to keep in mind while writing a good blog post would be to break it up into at least three parts. One for the introduction one for the conclusion and the rest for the other details. The introduction could contain the context and objective of the article. The body or the details could be an elaboration of the ideas of the post. Each idea should be explained in a different paragraph.

Donat write your post too long. Keep it short and simple. Because some people, such as me, tend to be afraid of long documents. They just wonder whether it is benefit to read all this long document or it will waste their valuable time. If the document is short, they will feel easier with it and be more likely to read it all.

Thus in keeping with my advice in the preceding paragraphs I too will not make this article too long. To enable you to remember all that you have read I will end by stating again what the perfect blog post should have. It should be short and simple have an introduction a conclusion and some details. It should definitely have an interesting and attractive title which should contain keywords and be in keeping with what is in the body.
