Yesterday I wrote Introduction to Blogging – Key #2 of 4 to be successful

Today I will follow up with Key #3.

Any guesses about what will be coming up tomorrow?

Key # 3 of 4 to be successful at blogging.

Longevity.

I mentioned previously that 1,000 posts appears to be a magical number for posts.800-1200 posts and things happen. Traffic begins to grow organically. Search engines find things. What’s up with that? Ask Google.

Another magic number is six-nine-12 months.

When the search engines learn that a blog has been active for this many months, with a number of blogs being consistently posted, the find-ability of the blog site increases. More people will have found the site and a higher page rank assigned.

The higher the page rank, the easier it is for new searchers to find the blog.

The higher the page rank, the easier to get new readers.

I can write about a hot/timely topic at some of my sites, and with not a little bit of luck, readers pour in. It’s cool to see an immediate response to my writing.

Did I mention that it is fun to blog?

Tomorrow will be the last in this series – Key #4.
