Posted ByDave SynderWell, first of all, What is a blog? A blog is short for “weblog”. Basically, it is just a website that has entries listed in reverse chronological order. The original idea behind it was to be a online journal or diary that was updated daily. Over the last decade many software programs and blogging platforms have been created to make the process VERY EASY. As the blog writer, depending on which platform you use, you can just type your entry, press submit and it shows up on your blog for the world to see.

Blogs are becoming more common today. You can notice that a lot of blogging sites are increasing. In addition, there are developments already making its way into blogging. For instance, instead of text content, there is photo blogging where you can now share your pictures with other bloggers. At the moment, you can use your mobile phone if you need to post your online blog. It honestly manifests that blogging is really becoming fashionable to people. If you are not reached yet by the popularity of online blogs, resume reading and see for yourself why blogging is just popular to almost every Internet user.
Once you’ve identified your specific niche and two or three categories for your blog, the next step is to learn how to optimize your blog and posts for Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Search engines, like Google, work on mathematical algorithms (little artificial intelligent bugs called web crawlers. Sounds like The Matrix, right?). Anyway, these bugs are sent out to your website by the search engines. They crawl over your content, scanning for important pieces of information, such as keywords or phrases, images containing the keywords, word counts, appropriate titles, and more. The more these little bugs like your content the better your content will rank in the search engines.
The third strategy to drive traffic to your blog is to write content with a purpose that will compel your visitors to read your posts. Studies have shown that you have about 6 seconds to capture a reader’s attention. Therefore, your first sentence needs to hit home to the reader. If you use this article as an example, you noticed that my first sentence is focused on bloggers, so I speak to them personally. I also tried to add a little humor (don’t know if it worked though).
When it comes to learning Japanese, we have the textbooks and the wide variety of blogs online. Both seem to be a good learning material, but it felt somewhat lacking in either of these materials. The textbooks are boring but organized. The blogs are interesting but random. So which should I use to learn Japanese effectively? The answer to that is BOTH. In order to learn Japanese effectively, we have to use both textbooks and blogs. The trick here is the sequence.
Be sure to employ tags in your blog posts inside a cautious manner. A misplaced tag on your internet site might be as damaging for the readership as a good tag is valuable. You have to do your investigation and place tags in an intelligent and thoughtful approach to boost your blogging endeavors.
Blogging can be a fun and interesting hobby. It helps you to express yourself and can even be profitable if you decide to “monetize” it. The key is to stick with it and keep it up regularly. Consider it as a diary of your life or interests, and stay engaged.
