A lot of people wonder what makes a successful blog. Most of the time it becomes apparent to me that if someone is asking me that question, they don’t know why they’re blogging to begin with.
Success with blogging, and whether or not you have achieved it, will depend entirely on whether or not you have reached the goals you set with blogging to begin with.
What’s that?
You never set a goal with blogging? You started a blog because it was the thing to do?
That’s okay, we can fix that. Set some goals for what would make you think that the exercise of blogging was worthwhile to you.
I know that many people get into blogging for the traffic. Well, I already had traffic when I started blogging, so it’s not why I began to blog at all. Truthfully, I wanted to be closer to you. I wanted to be able to share my thoughts about traffic, to give tips and ideas, to report news in real time, and do it in a fast, streamlined fashion. With blogging, every time I do a new post, every page of my site that is part of the blog updates to let any new person know that I had something new to say.
The best part of blogging to me, wasn’t the shift and increase in search engine traffic that I observed. That was a great side effect, partly because it was an effect I could duplicate for my clients.
The best part of blogging was actually getting my first comment. And the thrill doesn’t go down with each subsequent comment I get. It makes the spam that sometimes comes through worth it as well. The interaction is by far the best part to me.
But let’s get back to you.
In the back of your mind, you might have been thinking “If I become a famous blogger, I’ll have all this traffic, and then I can sell more of my product or retire on the advertising income.” It’s not entirely unheard of to get more traffic, more sales, or make money from your content. But getting to the point where your advertising income or the increase in sales from blogging will feed you is hard, daily work. Just establishing the basic traffic pattern will take you several months. We’ll talk about that next, though.
The first step to reaching any of those goals, is picking one, dissecting what it truly means and reaching it.
For example, if you want more traffic from blogging, you’ll have to understand eventually what kind of traffic is created from blogging.
You may get new people, who read one thing and leave unless you connect to them in each post.
If you already have an ezine audience, you may get a group of readers who get to know you on another level, one that lets them get to know you as a person, which facilitates more repeat traffic, as they come to have more interaction with you, or to read what you say next. With this, you’ll have to be ready to give them some advice, a way to test what you say, and/or you’ll have to learn what they discusions they want to read or participate in.
Getting more traffic from blogging means that you’ll have to learn a bit more about the interactions that surround blogging, and why people read blogs to begin with.

My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com
No one can “guarantee” that eveyr page of your site will be included in search engine results pages. I’ve written two books that touch on what to do to be sure that you’re in, and one that baby-steps the entire process. Just one easy fix would be to have an updated sitemap. All the pages of my site that I want in Google are in, check at site:freetraffictip.com.
