Blogs are just not the end things, but this is the future of electronic media, you have to understand this importance and take few desirable steps that will make you a successful blogger. Following are some of the things you can apply in your blogs to grab the upper most position in networks:

1. The about page – you have set up a good blogs website and have enough number of articles too on your page but imagine how someone will feel if they are coming to the site for the very first time and they see the “About us” page blank or filled with utter shit. It’s very important to put up a good about page in your site so that your followers would understand your purpose and your objectives. Make it impressive so that the readers keep coming back to your site. The about page should contain the following:
   1. You should state the reason for your site; explain what is the blog all about. Write creatively that will force them coming back to you, the best you could do is to tell them the benefits of reading your blog.
   2. Write detailed information about yourself, the blogger. People are more interested to read more of you when they know you personally, so try to build personal connection with them by letting them know your life history, the purpose, etc. and if possible your photo too.
   3. Don’t forget to put your contact information on the website, even if you don’t like putting it in about page, at least make a point that you direct a link to another page where you can state your information.
2. Make people coming back to you – we are all aware of RSS feeds and readers, some people might be not aware of it, you can put in options near the sidebar where people can subscribe to your mailers or even have the option to mail you. Just giving the subscription tag is not enough, you got to convince people to subscribe to your RSS and email feeds. Key in some attractive words that will force them to subscribe to your feeds.
3. Attractive content – No one likes to read boring stories, people like to read more of current events, something they will gain knowledge from. Keep your blog design simple, make it look clutter free, people should enjoy while browsing the pages of the site. Don’t make complex outlay that will let them in confusion for even searching for some content. Remember, in the blogging world, it is the quality that matters and not the design part. Here are some of the things you should remember while designing your blog design:
   1. Make your blog website look simple, simplicity will attract more readers, they aren’t   interested in seeing the design but to read the content. You can make arrangements so that it becomes easier for them to read over the site like using bigger fonts, normal text, etc.
   2. Make sure to put your text in black color with the white back ground, people are used to read in such combination so make them feel comfortable while they are reading on your site.
   3. Your blog should be flexible in the sense that you should be able to make necessary changes whenever needed like embedding some image, putting some sponsor impressions, etc.
4. Create a blog community – Just designing and putting your content on the site is not enough, blog is a social media through which you are putting your thoughts in to writing and people across are reading it, so the same way as you talk through your writings, the people across might also want to say something. Interaction will lead to more ideas and help you improve better, you can create your online community through which your readers can exchange views and give suggestions, if any. You can create your community by:
   1. The best way to get communication going is by asking open ended questions at the end of your blog, this will encourage people to talk to you, giving you suggestions, etc.
   2. Make use of threaded comments, this will encourage more readers to reply to a conversation or a comment thus helping you grow your popularity.
   3. You can reward your regular commentators who are active on your site, you can put up a commentators plug-in which will help them get a back link to their site which can increase traffic on their site, its like a give and take relationship.
   4. Don’t forget to respond to the comments, suggestions by your readers, by replying them you are letting them know that they are important and their suggestions are getting heard.
5. Content Rules – As we well know that content is the king in blogging world, no one can take its superior position other than the more supreme content itself. You are doing your level best to attract crowd but at initial stages you might not find people reading your blogs much, given below are some of the tricks which will help you improve on your content:
   1. Write something resourceful, if you are writing on news, note that there are other thousands of people speaking the same thing over news channels or radio, etc. you can write something that will be helpful to people.
   2. Make use of attractive and impressive headlines that will let people coming to your blogs and reading them, make simple and sophisticated statements, and think creatively.
   3. Whatever might be old to you might be new to someone else, even after years of writing, people find old novels so interesting the same scenario is with blogs. You just have to create that niche of writing creatively.

Make sure to update your blogs on a regular basis, don’t keep your old blogs on the first page for too long, keep updating on a daily basis and try to put in fresh, interesting content for your readers.
