What makes the blog worth visiting?
What makes any blog worth visiting is relevant content. It is really that simple — and that hard. When I first sat down to begin my blogging adventure, I spent hours trying to find all the “tip & tricks” that other bloggers offered. I quickly noticed that the first thing they always put on their lists was that you needed to write good content. Sure, I now spend a little bit of time trying to clean up the site to help with SEO, usability and the like. But I spend the vast majority of my time just trying to come up with new content.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
This blog started back in March 2008 and has grown rapidly to where is today (~150K+ monthly pageviews). Since then, I’ve learned quite a bit about blogging — the two most important pieces of advice I’d give any new bloggers:
1. Just get started. Don’t get bogged down in details, we all tend to make to many excuses and waste time unnecessarily. Once you get over that initial hurdle, you’ll find that everything is much easier than you originally expected.
2. Measure everything and run experiments. Install Google Analytics, Statcounter, whatever — start comparing traffic between different posts to start understanding what readers find interesting, what they click on, how long they stick around, etc. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned by doing this — everything from how different length post titles affect clicks to what kind of content is more likely to get stumbled, etc.
