Making your blog more popular requires taking steps to improve both content and promotion. Neither a well-advertised blog with uninteresting content nor a fascinating blog which is improperly promoted is likely to become popular. Here are 4 useful tips for making your blog popular, with two for enhancing content and the other two for expanding promotion:

1. Try to offer information on your weblog which is not already available online, being sure to cite the source if necessary. Such information may be obtained from reading printed publications and catalogs, personal experience, or telephone calls. Another option is to review a product or service on the blog which has yet to be reviewed online. Also consider briefly explaining data which can be found on the internet but takes a long time to read and/or load; for example, explaining the significant points of a 150 page report issued by an organization or government agency.

2. Write about shorter sub-topics in each of your blog articles/messages, rather than trying to cover broad issues or subjects. Depending upon the topic of your weblog, you may soon run out of subjects or material to post about if each message is very long. People are also less likely to read everything you have to say if the messages are several pages in length, rather than being broken down into shorter pieces. Being able to come up with new sub-topics to write about on a regular basis is an important part of making the blog more popular.

3. Occasionally submit some of your better blog postings to social bookmarking systems like Simpy.com or Reddit. This can be useful for making a significant increase in traffic/hits occur, if your weblog messages are popular with other social bookmarking users. Postings are more likely to be successful in these systems if they are on specific topics which aren’t covered by other members’ recently-submitted links, and don’t appear to be excessively promotional.

4. If you’re planning to post something especially significant or interesting on your blog soon, consider ending the previous posting with a message promoting the next post and when it will appear. This will help remind readers to return soon, thus making your weblog more popular. A similar technique is to release a long article in two or more parts, reminding visitors when to return for the next segment. Any method which can get readers in the habit of visiting your blog regularly is very helpful for making it popular.
