6 Habits of Highly Efficient Bloggers

Link Thy Neighbour
Just as love increases by loving others, a smile proliferates as you pass your cute smile to others, blogs blossom by linking it to other relevant blogs. And yes, just as true love and sincere smile is the key for its perpetuation, linking follows the same rule. It requires just a click to judge the genuineness of a link. As you sow so shall you reap.

Positive Association
An eagles egg hatched in a chickens nest will dare not think of gliding on the ferocious turbulence of breeze, miles up the green grounds. Positive environment boosts productivity. Associate yourselves with active bloggers. In the era of social networking and @twitter it cannot be easier.

Concentration
The "Blog and Grow Rich" fever is prevalent in all the arteries which have shuttling RBCs in them. Survival of a blogger depends on the amount of concentration he pays on the subject and its intricacies. A magnifying glass is able to set the paper ablaze only if it is adjusted to concentrate the rays to its maximum. Greater the concentration, faster the results.

Continuing Education Program
Be a student, while you blog. Every blogger does not have a technological background. Even if a home maker wants to blog, may be about recepies, she will have to brush up with the knowledge of posts, feeds, backlinks, trackbacks, retweets, photohosting, Adsense, scripts, and many such things. A little knowledge of HTML and CSS can dramatically improve the posts and its layouts even on the free platforms like blogger.

Photobucket

Set Goals
Set up a realistic and practical goal for your blog in terms of finite identifiable numbers. It is fruitful to say that you will write 2 posts per week, you want 20% increase in the conversions, and 30% increase in blog traffic by the end of say April 2009. It is futile to say that you will be writing hundreds of posts and you will be getting thousands of conversions and millions of hits this week. These are unrealistic, undefined impractical goals.

Get Into Action
Write the post, revise it, give meaningful related tags and revise it again and post it. Ping the search engines with appropriate services like pingomatic. Click and preview your links to avoid dead links. Announce your post on twitter and mailing lists if you have any. Take some time off around 9-12 minutes to read related posts on others blogs and write sincere comments. Relax.
Yes it is also an action, and one of the most powerful actions. It gives you subconcious mind the energy to think for the next post.

Great advice! My advertising relies only on Google Adsense at the moment, and I’d love to expand out and with more advertisers and skipping the middle man! Another way to earn money is to make yourself as a authority and provide consultancy services.

This may seem too obvious to add, and you’ve kind of covered it in each point, but conversation with people who share your interests is often the greatest source of content for me. Especially when we disagree - so find some people you disagree with.

I was just about to update my blog. It had been a while since I hit that publish button.
As you had mentioned, I used to sit and think ahead on my upcoming posts. This helped. Lack of other ways of keeping ideas flowing really affected me.
Thanks for the great tips. I have blogs that died because I can’t add fresh contents. This will definitely help me.

Thanks for your great information. I use blogger and would like more information on creating printable pages. I am interested in creating PDF links…how do I do that? So far we were only concentrating on ther quality of posts. But after reading this we realise that everything should be perfect to get noticed and stand different from others.
