The most important part of your blog post is your title. Without a stellar title, your post won’t make it to the the top of our realding list.
Once you have begun blogging, here are some tips for the creation of new content for your site:
1. Pay attention to your popular content. Hopefully you have installed Google Analytics on your Blog and can see what your leading sources of traffic have been. What are your most sought after keywords? Create more posts on these subjects and watch your hits continue to rise.
2. Go off the beaten path. If your website focus is in one area, yet you have an extremely popluar post in a specific area, consider creating more content along those lines.
3. Draw Conclusions from similarities. What keywords on your list could be grouped together that aren’t found that way normally. What are some new themes that you can thread through your content?
4. Popularity. Which topics have gotten you the greatest number of page views and hits? Create more of the same!
5. Where are your comments coming from? Revisit the posts with the best commenting, and look for themes, and wording of your ending questions if appropriate. Make sure to end on the open ended questions and prompt the answers!
6. Recycle. Remember, when you started blogging, chances are you were talking to yourself and no one was paying attention. Re-release some of your posts, do updated versions, or just a quick story about a really cool topic and point us back to your pre-viewer content. Repackage and ReShip!

I like this… I only have 13 post on my website, but I have over 100 comments… It is the content… I hit on something that’s not easily available, but is wanted by the public… and wallah…. I have a popular website. Thank you for the other tips; I am looking forward to using them and driving more traffic.
