Guide to Novice Blogger – Blogging tips

Soon after connecting to internet, Do a google search on your own blog name ? Do a google search about your domain name? Do a search about your own post in search engines? If you have been doing this for some time. Then your are attacked by a bad virus called “N1TB” – Not even 1 Traffic to Blog site.  This virus attacks your passion towards writing, Your eagerness in creating more value added posts, and ultimately Blogging habit slowly moves away from you.

Every blogger have to go through this while starting a blog. Allowing this virus to sustain for long time will kill you as well as your blog site. The Cure is, expert guideline, well known small steps, well controlled strategies and few link exchanges here and there. You will see traffic coming through.

My first and fore most advice is, Decide your platform (Free Blogger OR Free WordPress.com OR self hosted WordPress OR self hosted MVT etc). Self hosted blogging is very cheap than before. With just $20 per year you can own a domain name as well as hosting space per year. This $20 is only the seed fund, once you reach considerable amount of post $20 is nothing when compared to add revenue. Choose your domain name either general OR target a particular keyword OR area of blogging.
