How To Write A Perfect Blog Post

By Don Bethune

Traffic is important to any website, be it a business one or a personal blog. If you are a manager of a site then you might have pondered from time to time on the various ways to increase traffic on your site which could be an adult site or for, say Canadian users.

The title of your post should have some keywords as the search engines index and retrieve page links by using keywords. The search engines are more likely to find your article by the key words, in the title rather that in the body.

However, because search results usually contain huge lists of page links, if your title is not attractive, the users will not open it. Therefore, you should name the title attractively. In my opinion, an attractive title should be concise, state clearly about the goal and/or the content of the page. And it should make the potential reader thing that they would be benefit if they read it.

The body of your post should be as attractive as its title and both should be in consistency with each other to make it interesting. It should be the best part of the article. If the body of the post is not interesting then the reader will be let down and not revisit your site and that would be the exact opposite of your goal, i.e. to increase traffic to your site.

One thing to keep in mind while writing a good blog post would be to break it up into at least three parts. One for the introduction one for the conclusion and the rest for the other details. The introduction could contain the context and objective of the article. The body or the details could be an elaboration of the ideas of the post. Each idea should be explained in a different paragraph.

It is advisable to keep the post short, as many people like me, would tend to be intimidated by long copy. One would wonder, if itas worth his while to read such a long piece. If the article is short, one would feel more comfortable with it and would also be likely to read it entirely.

That is the reason why I will not make this article any longer. To help you remember things you just read, I will conclude here. That is, to write a perfect blog post, you should write it concise with a introduction, a conclusion and some details. The title should be consistent with the body, contain some keywords, and be attractive.
