A Complete Guide To All The Newbies Bloggers
by Maddy

Welcome .. a new blogger.. what a blogger should do in the start .. Choose a domain name which you know .. that the content you will be going to post .. exactly suits the domain name .. it could be a one thick fact.. of generating more traffic. for your blog..

Now that you have.. choosen a domain.. and a have hosted it already.. or you can start with a Wordpress domain.. also .. its a good fact too of having the required traffic you want.. cause millions are out there using this service already .. so you have started the blog and you will get the response of thousand and millions of people already but if you are using your private domain with abc hosting.. then you have to generate the traffic by your own self .. which i say is really an art.

Now you are ready to blog .. after installing your abc blog , i suggest Wordpress cause i am finding quite easy to blog with .. WP..

Choose a Simple , Good Looking template and manage your sidebar very well.. dont get it too much over..

Now all you have to do is to write the quality content .. in which you really think have the power to attract the people.. , sometimes only one powerfull post.. can do the job .. and your traffic goes Boom!.. so .. dont feel dishearted anytime at all.. cause all you have to do is to write the matter related to the red hot topic amongst the people.. or the latest or usefull information , and a hint that dont start to think that you are a superman! and will start writing multiple posts.. first make yourself perfect in few selected things. like if you are a webmaster blog .. then dont go for the Michael Jackson.. History Review.. yes.. exactly .. do write the post relate to your domain name and your blog.. description.

Before advertising you should sign up for the Feed Burner and merge your blog with the feed burner.. so people can subscribe to your feed and get the latest updates on your blog .. recently made. so you have a better chance of getting the daily visitors.

Now you are done with the Content issue that troubles alot generating the traffic, all you have to do is to promote your content now.. because no one’s going to know about your blog in the morning news paper .. :D .. yes.. know its the main part the most important.. the part of advertising your blog..

Start submitting your blog.. to the following .. services.. they are your blog or website best friend.. to promote your blogs.. yes .. i am talking about the well knowned Technorati. exactly your blog’s friend from the start is tehnorati.. so dont waste any time and sign up for the Technorati and put your blog in the list .. after you are done then move towards Stumble Upon and now put your blog here.. then Digg , Furl.

So far you are doing good.. now its time to move more further .. and start submitting your blog .. to the search engines.. like Google , Yahoo , Msn etc. , one more trick to be in the 40 or more search engines at a time .. you will find some web directories offering more then your expectations for free.. so dont .. waste time and do the jobe done.. here .. they are.. i have already .. finded them for you.

-  Ineedhits ( offers 20 search engines )
- Submit Express ( 40 top search engines )

Now that you have.. done this job.. move towards finding blog directories. for free.. here’s some of them i have already here for you waiting here.

- Free top 50 Blog Directories

Now that you have submitted in theese directories too.. you will start watching that you are improving .. and getting the required response..

Now the one tough job is to find backlinks for your blog to increase the Page Ranks, this time you will have to help yourself .. yes.. start finding good forums and other blogs.. and post new threads .. and use your signatures in the forum as your Blog Adress .. i mean your website address so you have a fine chance of finding the backlinks .. one more thing to find the backlinks is to post comments on other blogs.. with you blog address.. so if you have posted comment on a big blog then you have done your job .. there are thousands of visitors.. who will read your comment and may be they click on you .. and visit your blog.. so you have .. started to get the backlinks as well..

This is what i say your traffic issue is solved .. quite .. good.. and fine.. enough.
