Every Blogger, would want a good progress and development on his blog, both in terms of content, appearance, traffic, popularity, to the financial aspect. Often, because of the limitations of references and the influence of some constructive discourses, the newbie Bloggers are stuck in instant ways that are actually far from delivering results as expected. Therefore, it is very important to create a mature strategy, as simple as anything, so that blogs can grow and produce something exciting for the Blogger.
If it should be called a misstep because of ignorance, most Bloggers have an understanding that everything can be done instantly, both in making and in building blogs. So, sometimes they get stuck on the use of bad and misleading ways. Whatever the purpose, something that is done in a good way will definitely produce something good as well.
This article I created as share over some experience when creating and building blogs, which of course a lot of trial and error as experienced by other Blogger newbie.
Basic Tips to Create a Blog (internal Step)
After knowing how to create a blog, with any blog platform, it should be understood that creating a blog is not a short process. However, creating a blog is a process whereby the construction and blog elements are structured in such a way as to form a basic appearance and content that is ready to be displayed for readers / visitors, at least there are several stages in preparing the creation of blogs:
Here are tips and next steps on the stage and the process of creating a blog:
1. Focus on the construction of blogs first, do not think about traffic / visitors. If you need to set blog access to private where only you can access it.
2. Find the appropriate theme / template as well as meet the criteria in accordance with the topic of the blog to be carried (including personal blog). In the future, it is possible to replace templates. However, it would be better if it is minimized, or at least only done in the early stages. Next, the blog is ready to step in with a template that has been previously tested and selected. There are now many premium / free quality templates / themes.
3. Select and sort the widgets to install. Focus on the use of widgets that function clearly, such as for navigation tools, community (follow) and statistics (traffic / visitor / pageview). Actually very reasonable to try various widgets (his name is also curious and want to see the results, right?), But note the true function. Avoid sweetener widgets that are not really important, instead of adding weight to the blog and making visitors annoyed. Often I am greeted with a javascript pop-up widget / plugin when visiting a blog: "Hello, write your name, your age, your gender?" My question is, "Is that so?" I feel very disturbed, because all I need is to read blog articles instead of following the population census. :) Avoid such widgets.
4. If necessary, create a new blog that serves as a laboratory to test trials and widgets, so if it feels already fit, stay installed on the main blog.
5. While performing the steps above, make a post regularly. Relax, no hurry. Writing in a relaxed state and clear mind can produce a weighty writing, as simple as any topic.
6. A blog is a vehicle for displaying discourse, make sure the blog has had enough articles before it is thrown into a wide audience. 5-10 articles I think is enough to be the beginning of the introduction of a blogger and blog.
7. A one to two month time is not a long time to make a really solid blogging foundation. Imagine the understanding that all the above processes can not be done within a day or two. only If the analogy as a house to be built, then it must be ascertained whether the foundation is really solid and ready to be stacked with other building materials, and it takes time that can not be spelled out instant.
- Compose a unique domain name that no one has.
- Registering the domain to a blog / service provider or directly hosting itself.
- Perform verification process and finally come to the make of blog url; which means a blog has been born.

Basic Tips Building a Blog (External Step)
Once the foundation that is planted in the soil is certainly strong enough, then now is the time to build the wall to the roof, the parts that have been touched by the free air. This stage covers many of the external things that bloggers are beginning to move to promote / introduce their blogs to the general public.
1. Come to other blogs, get acquainted, and comment as much as possible. Prioritize on blogs that are still new. Why? The chances of getting a response and a return visit will be much bigger and faster. Attitudes from other bloggers who have the same conditions will be more disconnected because the interaction is more balanced. It would be very difficult to get a visit of senior bloggers who in fact have the same bustle along with bloggers as well. Not to distinguish, but if the analogy, whether you will visit and play with high school kids when you are still 6th grade elementary school? Of course demanding such standard bloggers can not be regarded as easy. There are stages like climbing stairs. Climb up five childrenthe stairs at the same time are at great risk and eliminate the part of the process that should be passed in socializing and learning.
2. Comment on quality content. Why? Because the content of the weighted comment will be more interesting than the perfunctory. Give opinions in an article or ask questions that can provoke blog owners to enthusiastically answer it. In this way, the return visit will have a substantial percentage of possibilities. Avoid comments that are only "spam comment", because your quality as a new blogger is also assessed from that factor. It will also attract senior bloggers to better consider your presence.
3. After getting acquainted and socializing with fellow Blogger, start also do the stages of introducing blog to search engine and improve SEO, either on-page or off-page. A bloggger who wants his blog crowded visitors can not rely on visitors from blogwalking results only. Therefore, this stage begins to be a very important step and must be constantly done.
4. One way to strengthen the SEO and index of search engines is by diligently commenting on blogs like the way before. Commenting is also on dofollow blogs. Use blog url as a link and blog name as the name of the commentator (anchor text) when filling out the identity form of the commentator. Again, I affirm, comment with a quality comment because it will also be considered by search engines. For a new blog, optimize the link building blog homepage in advance of other page links (posts).
5. Submit blogs and articles to directory sites and social bookmarking. This will increase the visibility of the blog and its pages.
6. Start active follow forums bloggers and public forums. Create posts with specific topics / discourses. Make sure the blog links are listed in the post section as source and identity. Posting does not have to be an article that explains something, but it can also be opinions, questions, and everything that requires a response. Blogger forum site directories, for example blogger.com or technorati.com (see also other blog directories in this blog).
7. Continue to hunt blog / website directories and social bookmark . Use search engines as a proven search tool.
8. Expand the network and popularity of blogs by using social media like Twitter and Facebook. You can publish articles, hook follower and fans (likers), promote, and expand the reach of communication.
9. Keep on making posts. Blog riches and resources are articles. But do not force yourself to write as much as possible. Write with mood and spirit. Quality and original articles will get plenty of opportunities to get linkback from other bloggers who copied it. If there is no source link, ask. This is for the originality and credibility of blogs as well as to increase blog popularity and visibility.
10. Perform small-scale analysis (large-scale also does not ding), to blog traffic; both in terms of the number of pageview and visitor. Use the blog statistics feature provided by the blog service provider (platform) or other sites where the traffic / visitor / pageview widget has been pre-installed. Pay attention to its progress and see if there is an increase or not.
11. Check also the condition of blogs on search engines (Google) through Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics.
12. Register blog to Alexa to know progress of rank (rankings) blog traffic.
13. (Optional) Be a guest blogger (guest writer) on the blogs that offer.
14. Step number 1 to 12 is a simultaneous step and should be done continuously as long as you want your blog to keep on developing; both in terms of quality, popularity, traffic, and finance (for those who monetize the blog).
15. Be patient and enjoy the process.
Good Luck !.
