What makes a blog great?
- Because 50,000 people visit it everyday?
- Because 25,000 people subscribe to it?
- Because it has podcast?
- Because it has great picture?
- Because the writer claims he generate $30,000 from it every month?
- Because other blogger says its great?
We look at other blogs and say how great it is and how we wish we can have a blog like it.If we just wish,I don't think it will happen!I don't think the fairies from blogging heaven will grant your wish because there is none.
Why do we find that blog great?What makes our blog less great?Lets just take my blog for example..The great blog have 50,000 visitors daily..mine only have about 20 I think..but the great blog started 5 years ago,mine 5 days ago..its not a fair comparison I think.
Some people starts their blog after finding success doing business online..so when they start to blog,they already have followers..their customers.Some people like you and me,we started from scratch..so to get twenty visitors daily is such a blessing!How sad it is to start a blog with no visitor at all..so I thank God for the 20 visitors and thank the visitors for visiting my blog.
Most of these great bloggers will give tips on how to be a successful blogger,just like them..and I thank them and people will read and follow their tips because they are successful..a lot of people wants to be successful like them,who doesn't?
But what I find from all this tips are..Just blog as they way you like it!

But what I find from all this tips are..Just blog as they way you like it!
- If they say podcast is the trend now..find out if it is suitable for your blog.I don't like podcast,I prefer reading and I'm sure there are people like this other than me.
- If they say put picture on your blog..is it suitable on your blog?I don't because it is hard to find picture that suits my post,and if there is one,I rather write my post than looking for it.
- If they say find top keywords and add it to your title and content..you have to do research on top keywords for your niche,and try to blend it into your content to get good rank in search engine.I don't because if your rank is good,it is easier for people to find your blog,but if your blog doesn't have good content,they won't stay and be your reader..so it doesn't make sense to me.
- If they say do this and that to generate traffic..I just do what I think is necessary,and not rush anything..because like the above reason,there is no point getting traffic to your blog but you have nothing good to give them.I want people who visit my site to come again and be my reader,not just to have a look at it.
- If they say your blog must not be too long,just keep it short and sweet..I sometimes don't because sometimes I have a lot I want to share.
- If they say don't use free platforms to blog,instead subscribe to web hosting and have your own domain because it will look professional,I don't because to me professionalism is in your content.."Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover" if you don't mind me adding "Don't Judge A Blog By Its Platform" and I don't have the funds yet to have my own website and domain!
No one can decide what is best for your blog..you are the best judge.This great blogger are called expert because they have been doing it longer than us,that is why people look up to them.It doesn't makes them better than you and me.Just look at Google..they enter the market after MSN and Yahoo!But look at them now.How can that be?This is an open market,no one can say you can only make it big after 1 year or 2 years,how would they know?It is all up to you..and the readers.
Just blog as the way you like it,someday you will make it big,not by luck,but because of the effort you put in.Yes,some people just have the luck,within 2 months they make it big..but how many did?If you really love blogging,you put your heart and mind to it,loving every minute of it,soon you will succeed.People will find your blog,talk about your blog and the next thing you know,you are the expert on blogging,people will look up to you.
Don't put to much worry on the figure..concentrate on your blog,your content..then it will be..The Greatest Blog!
