在这篇文章中，我们将讨论一些要遵循的博客技巧(blogging tips)，这将帮助您制作您想要的博客。首先让你的读者开心是很重要的。一个新的博主会发现其中的许多技巧很有帮助。有一些事情可以使博客成为一个好博客。让我们看看初学者应该考虑的几点。
新博客的博客提示
1.你的博客(The design of your blog)设计——你的博客设计必须是好的。它不应该到处乱七八糟。一个简单而干净的就可以完成这项工作。决定您想要传统的博客风格设计还是杂志风格的设计。看看什么最适合您的利基并继续努力。使用可读的字体。Google网络字体目录提供了数百种网络安全字体。你可能想检查一下。此外，请以不同的屏幕尺寸和分辨率查看您的网站。
2.速度(Speed)——重要但被低估的博客技巧之一是你的博客加载速度。现在很重要！4-5秒是你应该瞄准的。还有更多，您可以确定访问者会离开——尤其是在移动设备上。你的博客不应该有大量的广告、眼睛糖果等，以免增加加载时间。有太多的Javascripts，眼睛糖果，工具栏等，只会增加加载时间。因此，优化博客的加载时间。参加Google Page Speed Online测试。
3.搜索按钮(Search button)- 确保您的博客有一个正确放置的“搜索(Search)”按钮。很多时候，读者可能还想查看他想阅读的内容是否在您的博客上可用。他不想浏览你所有的档案。人们习惯于在网页右上角看到搜索栏。方便地放置它实际上可以增加您的页面浏览量。
4.社交媒体(Social Media)——这是现在博客中最重要的部分之一。确保您的博客有Google+、Twitter和Facebook页面。侧边栏中的便利贴图标和链接。在您的博客上添加订阅RSS Feed和E-letter 按钮(E-letter button)，这样很容易引起注意。这会让你成为普通的读者，反过来也会对你有益。在站点范围内添加共享(Add Share)按钮。
5.博客文章(Blog posts)——虽然可能没有任何书面规定，但尽量让你的博客文章至少有 300 字或以上。在段落中正确格式化(Format)它们，段落不超过 5-6 行。使用(Use)粗体或斜体突出显示某些单词或术语。在帖子中使用(Use)H2 或 H3 标签作为标题或子标题。这使得易于阅读。
6.关键词(Keywords)——在你的帖子中包含(Include)搜索引擎友好的关键词。这将使您获得来自搜索引擎的网络流量。此外，使用帖子标题作为标题来吸引读者的兴趣。页面标题应便于搜索。每个帖子都应该有一个吸引注意力的标题，但同时也与帖子相关。使用好的关键字最简单的方法是使用Google.com搜索栏中的下拉建议。
7. 专注于主题(Focus on the topic)——有时你可能想写点东西，但你最终会写点别的东西。当你写一篇文章时，总是大胆地定义你的主题并确保你坚持下去。通过这样做，您将拥有忠实的读者，他们会喜欢阅读您的帖子。第一段中的字体乱码。(Font)我更喜欢直接写第一段中的帖子摘要。
8.不断更新你的博客(Keep updating your blog)——只要(Whenever) 有可能，尽量更新你的博客。如果你可以每天都这样做——太好了！如果没有，那么至少每周做一次。搜索(Search) 引擎(Engines)会通过向您的博客发送机器人和蜘蛛来定期更新您的帖子。如果您发布新帖子，您可以确保它们会很快被索引。
9.图片(Images)——确保你的博客文章中至少有一张图片。这打破了单调，让读者紧紧盯着你的帖子，让它变得有趣。如果您的帖子只是数百个单词的集合，您很可能会失去博客的访问者。优化图像的大小也有助于减少帖子的加载时间。用关键词命名图像。另外，请记住给他们一个Alternative text和Image Title 属性(Image Title attribute)。
10.先关注内容，再关注博客的艺术和科学(Focus on Content first and later on, on the art & science of blogging)——我注意到的许多新博主都犯了一个错误。他们更关注如何(HOW TO)写博客而不是写什么博客。我建议您在六个月到一年的时间内始终如一地找到好的主题和博客。一旦你安顿下来，你就可以开始研究诸如如何增加页面浏览量、如何降低跳出率、 如何增加 RSS Feed 订阅者、 如何增加博客评论、如何提高Alexa排名、如何做到这一点等问题，或如何做到这一点。
11.旧的不是博客中的黄金( Old is not Gold in Blogging)——总是(Always)写一些新的东西。不要写过(Don)时的内容。旧(Old)内容是人们已经知道的。如果您的流量来自搜索引擎，那么您将不会通过编写旧内容获得任何流量，因为不会有人搜索这些内容。如果您有好的订阅者，那么这是最糟糕的事情，因为您可能会失去他们。
12.博客索引(Blog Indexing)——一旦你的博客启动并运行，将它提交给搜索引擎。如果您愿意，请将您的博客提交给各种搜索引擎和一些目录。让搜索引擎快速索引您的新博客或网站。看看免费软件网站链接提交者(Website Link Submitter)。
13.货币化(Monetization)——一旦你的博客有 6 个月到 1 年的历史，你就可以开始考虑将它货币化。除了与Google AdSense或某些 Google AdSense 替代计划签约外，您还可以考虑通过注册联属(Affiliate)网络营销计划或付费评论来销售某些产品- 如果您愿意。虽然将广告放在首屏是提高广告效果和赚取更多收入的好方法，但您还必须注意确保您的读者可以轻松找到他们正在寻找的内容。阅读这篇文章，了解为您的博客设计的新的 Panda 友好型Google AdSense布局。(Google AdSense)如果您刚刚注册AdSense如果您的广告在 48 小时后仍未展示，您可能需要使用Google AdSense 疑难解答。稍后，如果您愿意，您还可以通过实施部分定位来最大化AdSense收入。
14.搜索引擎优化(Search Engine Optimization)——当你有 100 条左右的帖子时，你可能希望将部分注意力从生成内容转移到博客的艺术和科学上。始终与最新的Google 搜索引擎排名因素保持联系。遵循一些基本的 SEO 技巧以获得更好的搜索引擎排名(basic SEO Tips to get better Search Engine Ranking)，使用像 Yoast 这样的优秀WordPress SEO插件，阅读 Google 自己的搜索引擎优化入门指南，一切顺利。一旦你开始，专注于增加自然搜索引擎流量——这是真正值得的！
15.博客安全(Blog Security)——一旦你的博客开始流行，它可能会成为目标。然后，您可能想考虑加强 WordPress 站点的安全性(hardening the security of your WordPress site)。如果您发现有人在复制您的内容，这篇文章将帮助您处理剽窃和在线内容盗窃。(Plagiarism and Online Content Theft.)
16.托管(Hosting)-注册(Sign-up)一个好的主持人。如果您正在寻找免费的虚拟主机站点(free Web Hosting sites)，请选中此项。
最后的话。(Final words.)
(Blog)充满激情的(Passion)博客。有信念的(Conviction)博客(Blog)。并始终如一地写博客。不要博客赚钱，博客建立声誉。钱(Money)会随之而来……流量和满意度也会随之而来！
不要浪费时间阅读那些“学习如何快速赚钱(Learn how to make quick money)”、“I will show you how to make $100000 in a month”或“我将向您展示如何在 1 个月内成倍增加您的自然流量(I will show you how to exponentially increase your organic traffic in 1 month)”之类的博客. 他们可能会也可能不会赚钱，但如果他们是，他们实际上可能通过向您出售“希望”或有关“如何赚钱”的电子书来赚钱。
有趣的是，如果他们不(What would be interesting to know, is that if they weren’t) selling such material, would they still be making such money? It would also be, actually interesting to find out HOW MANY who read such blogs or buy such eBooks actually end up making even 10% of his figure! You see, most such sites make money, by telling you, how to make money – in short by selling you ‘Hope’!
写博客赚钱(Money)，过度热情(Passion)可能会导致你失败！
许多人还浪费时间每天查看他们的流量统计数据和收入。不要(Don)浪费太多时间寻找SEO捷径以获得快速流量、Google PageRank或Alexa排名。专注(Focus)于内容，始终如一地写博客，使用流利的英语(English)并且不要放弃。您的博客开始获得良好的流量只是时间问题，您很可能每天都能赚取 5 位数的美元收入！(USD)
Remember, every blogger has his day…it’s just a matter of time!

Practical Blogging tips for new bloggers & beginners
In this post, we will be talking about some blogging tips to follow, that will help you make your blog, what you want it to be. It is important first to keep your readers happy. A new blogger will find many of these tips quite helpful. There are some things that make a blog a good one. Lets us have a look at the points which a beginner should consider.
Blogging Tips for new bloggers
1. The design of your blog – The design of your blog has to be good. It shouldn’t be messy with many things here and there. A simple and clean one will do the job. Decide if you want a traditional blog-style design or a magazine-style design. see what suits your niche the best and go for it. Use a readable font. Google web fonts directory offers hundreds of web-safe fonts. You may want to check it out. Also, check out your website in different screen sizes & resolutions.
2. Speed – Among the important, but under-rated blogging tips is the speed with which your blog loads. It matters now! 4-5 seconds are what you should target. Anything more and you can be sure that the visitor will just go away – especially on mobile devices. Your blog should not have loads of advertisements, eye candy, etc., to the extent that it increases the load time. Having too many Javascripts, eye-candy, toolbars, etc., just adds to the load time. So, optimize the load time of your blog. Take the Google Page Speed Online test.
3. Search button – See to it that your blog has a properly placed “Search” button. Many times a reader might also want to see whether the content he wants to read is available or not on your blog. He wouldn’t want to go through all your Archives. People are used to seeing the search bar on the top right side of the web page. Placing it conveniently can actually increase your page views.
4. Social Media – This is one of the most essential parts of a blog now. Make sure your blog has a Google+, Twitter, and Facebook page. Post-it’s icons and links in your sidebar. Add a subscribe to RSS Feed and E-letter button too on your blog at such a place where it easily gets noticed. This will get you regular readers and in turn, be beneficial for you. Add Share buttons site-wide.
5. Blog posts – While there may not be any written rule, try to make your blog posts of at least 300 words or above. Format them properly in paragraphs with a paragraph having not more than 5-6 lines. Use bold or italics to highlight some words or terms. Use an H2 or an H3 tag in the post for the headings or sub-headings. This makes for easy readability.
6. Keywords – Include search engine-friendly keywords in your post. This will get you web traffic from search engines. Also, use the post title as a headline to attract the interest of your readers. The page titles should be search-friendly. Each post should have a title that will attract attention but at the same time, also be relevant to the post. The easiest way is to use good keywords is to use the drop-down suggestions from the Google.com search bar.
7. Focus on the topic – It might happen at times that you want to write something, and you end up writing something else. When you write a post, always define your topic boldly and make sure you stick to it. By doing so, you will have loyal readers who will love reading your posts. Font ramble in the first paragraph. I prefer to directly write about the post summary in the first para.
8. Keep updating your blog – Whenever possible, try to update your blog. If you can do it daily – great! If not, then at least do it once a week. Search Engines will regularly update your posts by sending robots and spiders to your blog. If you publish new posts, you can assure that they will quickly get indexed.
9. Images – Make sure your blog post has at least an image in it. This breaks the monotony and keeps the readers glued to your post and makes it interesting. If your post is just a collection of hundreds of words, you are likely to lose visitors from your blog. Optimizing the size of the images also helps in reducing the load time of the post. Name the image with the keyphrase. Also, remember to give them an Alternative text and Image Title attribute.
10. Focus on Content first and later on, on the art & science of blogging – Many new bloggers I have noticed, make one mistake. They focus more on HOW TO blog rather than WHAT TO blog. I suggest you find good topics and blog consistently for maybe six months to a year. Once you are settled in, then you can start looking at questions like how to increase page views, how to decrease bounce rate, how to increase RSS Feed Subscribers, how to increase blog comments, how to improve Alexa ranking, how to do this, or how to do that.
11. Old is not Gold in Blogging – Always write something that’s new. Don’t write content that is old. Old content is what people are already aware of. If your traffic is from search engines, then you won’t get any traffic by writing old content as there won’t be anyone searching for that stuff. If you have good subscribers, then this is the worst thing as you might lose them.
12. Blog Indexing – Once your blog is up and running, submit it to search engines. Submit your blog to various search engines and a few directories if you wish. Get your new blog or website indexed quickly by search engines. Have a look at freeware Website Link Submitter.
13. Monetization – Once your blog is 6 months to one year old, then you can start thinking of monetizing it. Apart from signing with Google AdSense or some Google AdSense alternative programs, you can also consider selling some products by signing up for Affiliate programs, or Paid Reviews – if you wish. While placing ads above the fold is a good way to improve ad performance and make more money, you must also take care to ensure that your readers can easily find the content they are looking for. Read this post on new Panda-friendly Google AdSense layouts for your blog. If you have just signed up for AdSense and your ads are not showing even after 48 hours, you may want to use the Google AdSense Troubleshooter. Later on, if you wish, you can also maximize AdSense revenue by implementing section targeting.
14. Search Engine Optimization – When you have 100 or so posts under your belt, you may want to shift a part of your focus from generating the content, to the art and science of blogging. Always keep in touch with the latest Google Search Engine Ranking Factors. Follow some basic SEO Tips to get better Search Engine Ranking, use a good WordPress SEO plugin like Yoast’s, read Google’s very own Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide, and you are good to go. Once you are set in, focus on increasing organic search engine traffic – this is the one that actually pays!
15. Blog Security – Once your blog starts becoming popular, it may get targeted. You may then want to think of hardening the security of your WordPress site. If ever you find that someone is copying your content, this post will help you deal with Plagiarism and Online Content Theft.
16. Hosting – Sign-up with a good host. Check this if you are looking for free Web Hosting sites.
Final words.
Blog with Passion. Blog with Conviction. And blog consistently. Don’t blog to make money, blog to build a reputation. Money will follow…and so will traffic and satisfaction!
Don’t waste your time reading those ‘Learn how to make quick money‘, ‘I will show you how to make $100000 in a month‘ or ‘I will show you how to exponentially increase your organic traffic in 1 month‘ kind of blogs. They may or may not be making that kind of money, but if they are, they may actually be making such money by selling you ‘hope’ or eBooks on ‘How to make money’.
What would be interesting to know, is that if they weren’t selling such material, would they still be making such money? It would also be, actually interesting to find out HOW MANY who read such blogs or buy such eBooks actually end up making even 10% of his figure! You see, most such sites make money, by telling you, how to make money – in short by selling you ‘Hope’!
Blogging for Money, over Passion could lead you to failure!
Many also waste time looking at their traffic stats and earnings every day. Don’t waste too much of your time looking for SEO shortcuts to get quick traffic, Google PageRank or Alexa ranking. Focus on content, blog consistently, use good English and don’t give up. It will be just a matter of time before your blog starts getting good traffic, and you could well end up earning even a 5-figure USD income every day!
Remember, every blogger has his day…it’s just a matter of time!
