Successful Blog : Going beyond SEO

A successful blog not only consists of search engine optimization (SEO), good written content or a great design. Yes, definitely, these are major factors behind a successful blog; but there are more things that must be evaluated and thought out well. So, here is a dedicated article on planning for a successful blog.

Whimsical writings can not stand the test of time as a successful blog. In previous article, we discussed about some blogs which are standing well as successful blogs. Yes, design, SEO, and content : all have been factors but the blogger has a definite plan for his / her foundation in order to make it a successful blog.

Successful blog depends on what you want to achieve

This is totally subjective and depends on how you define a successful blog. Our target might be to achieve 20,000 unique steady state visitors per day after 18 months of its launch; we will call it a successful blog then. Or if we think from return of investment point (ROI), we might think, $ 100 / day return is enough. It depends on your goal; failure ensues when your desire for more money increases because it tempts you to post either poor quality articles or to push a bad product as an affiliate to make more money.

Grammatical mistakes and a successful blog

Try to imagine your favorite newspaper has made a typo in the heading on the FrontPage. As blog readers are often scanners rather than readers; we must give importance to every wording, particularly the sub headings, meta descriptions and title thereby ensuring the switch from an ordinary blog to a successful blog.
