Blogging for a Good Conversation

While stumbling through the internet today I found this quote on The John Chow dot Com blog:

“When they ask for help or ask a sincere question, respond. When you have an additional question about a post you or someone else on your blog wrote, put it in the comments. When you have a thought about it, put it in the comments. The post should be the conversation starter while the comments are what get your blog community really rolling. You will build a reputation more quickly and people will value your blog all the more if you take the time to interact with them.”Rahil, 5 Ways To Add Value For Your Blog Readers, Dec 2009

Comments can be a real boost to your Content Based SEO strategy. Blogs are meant to be a conversation. What do you derive from a conversation you have with someone? You get a darn good idea what their personality is.

 

Blogging with Personality

That’s right! Put your personality in your Social Media. I’ve said it before; it is how you present yourself through your blog that brings people back for more. Not only do readers want to see you as an authority, but they want to feel like they know you. If they like your personality and know what you are talking about you will have blog traffic for life.

If your personality comes across as a kind of person that is easy to talk to you will encourage comments and dialogue. What a great way to keep your content fresh. What a great way for search engines to see your site. Search engines love new content so you are also pleasing the SEO gods.

Continue on blogging soldiers. Have some fun when you write. Comment on your own posts when you think of something new. Always respond to reader comments and watch your organic ranking soar…oh, and don’t forget to leave a comment here!

  • The #1 MISTAKE I see most people making while trying to sell more stuff on their sites. (and believe me, it was a mistake I was making in SPADES for quite a while as well) The simple truth is that blogs are the BEST way to convert eyeballs into income....but you need to master a few super simple skills to make it happen in a hurry.
  • Very true. Blogs can really make things take off and get a good organic ranking if done right. Thanks for commenting.
