How To Get Blog Traffic Thru Compelling Content

By Charles Carr

There are two main goals that everyone who decides to publish a blog will have in common. They want what they have written to be read, and they want their visitors to return to the blog for repeat visits. There is only one way to ensure that you will make money from your blog and that is if you get lots of visits to it. Of course, those people will need to click on the AdSense link on your blog in order for you to make any money.

WHAT DO I MAKE MY BLOG ABOUT?

Unfortunately every blogger has this problem so you are not alone. Once you have set it all up and placed the AdSense link in the best place to invite clicks, you are now faced with that white text box and trying to decide what to write in it. We have all had to deal with writer's block at some time. Although you know you are quite capable of composing a few paragraphs, when it comes down to doing it on your blog, you may find that you keep drawing a blank. And then, as if writer's block isn't enough, you might start to wonder why anyone would be interested in what you have to say in the first place! But there are tools available that will help you to come up with ideas of what to write about.

Although ad placement on your blog is important it is actually the easy part when you start your own blog. The difficulty comes in when you try to decide what your blog should actually pertain to. The reason for this is because you will need to write about it daily, so it needs to be both interesting and relevant in order to keep your visitors returning for more. If there are no visitors to your blog it cannot create an income.

You have the choice about what your blog will be about and you can choose to write about any topic under the sun that takes your fancy. But that doesn't help much, now does it? There are simply far too many options available to you. It is really like taking a child into a large toy store and then telling them that they can choose any toy they want. How are they to make such a choice when there are so many toys to choose from? It is the same situation. You are faced with unlimited possibilities.

Your blog can either be a blog that does not earn you any money, or it can be one that does. So the first decision you need to make is to decide which is best suited to you. If you choose the one that does not earn you money then all you need to do is provide the link to your blog to the people in your life, such as friends and family. You will merely need to post updates every now and again but other than that there is not much more you need to do. If, on the other hand, you want to write a blog that will bring the cash in, you need to know and understand just how search engines and AdSense work. This might also assist you in deciding what your blog would be about.

In the later articles, we will take a look at search engine optimization and AdSense more closely. But for now it is necessary that you understand that knowing something of how search engine optimization and AdSense work can assist you greatly in deciding what your blog should pertain to. If you have decided that you want your blog to generate an income then it is vitally important that whatever topics you intend writing about will effectively bring you as much traffic as possible via the search engines. While search engine optimization will direct some readers your way, your up to date and always fresh, informative content is what will keep them coming back for more. And in order to make money, the relevant AdSense ads on your blog will need to be strategically placed.
