Whenever I see or hear people about blog closer, I feel a little saddened by the action after all so much goes in to preparing a blogging network. For old bloggers its not a big deal though because they have 10 blogs lined up after them providing them with sufficient income to stay on. Most of the times you see, its just a mind set of people that particular blog is not running well but it takes time to grow, as the older bloggers waited for 5-6 years earlier, today they are yielding good money for their investments and talents in to writing creative stuff. Well, but what if you strike a gold while someone is about to close his blog, may be a close associate working with the blog to be closed asks you to take up challenge, for me, it excited me a great deal just a month back when a close friend of mind offered me to take up a blog which was not really doing well and it had lots of haters on the site too. What do we do with such blogs, is it fine to close them or change the mind set of people running it or for that matter the readers on the blog? I feel it is best to bring around improvement in the running of blog rather going in for a complete closer.

There are lots of lessons you earn while a blog is getting closed, looking over its categories and the comments on the site, gives you a perfect vision how you should be taking your blog ahead. So rather than wasting your time in analyzing or researching as to what went wrong, it is best to utilize when still there are some people using that blog may be you can change something for better. The first things I did was to check for the items in the blog, what sort of

articles they need in the blog and there I was already writing the very first article on the blog, my proposal to the owner wasn’t really bad though, he offered me a 50% partnership in the earnings. It was fine with me as far as I am utilizing my talents in a proper field. Miraculously, my first few blogs over the site were instant hit, and people really started appreciating my works on the blogging networks, the owner was now really happy with my performance, I got more tasks, more opportunities, and various offers to work with other blogs but I stood with my own running blogs and the new one which I have just taken up.

We never know, when the opportunity will strike in, use it in a very organized and productive manner and you will see in no time how zero income making site turns in to a famous big income making sites. I learned one thing in the process from starting off this site and the initial assignments I had taken up as a freelancer that opportunities may come to you any how, whatever form, in worst of conditions, you should always be ready to welcome it, with open inviting hand and also be willing to put best of your efforts in bringing the best output possible. The way I shaped up my name by working for that blog, nearly changed my life for better, I noticed how the poorest of things can turn out to be real gold, such opportunities don’t just come, you have to be observant always to pick up them whenever they fall down. Blogging requires lots of commitment to the blog itself, the networking site and the important the readers of the blog.

The word being “Observant” in the previous paragraph need not mean, you to be just looking over things, you got to find out the problems of your readers, try to solve them by putting that type of articles which will help them to cope up. Running a blog is not simple, you create some type of bond with your readers that no one can explain, it can just be felt as your loyal readers will log in your blog everyday out of the expectation that they will gain something out of your writings. Writing the articles, which your readers can relate to, doesn’t mean you have to rush for things, observe patiently and take the opportunity to serve them the best you can to your possibilities.

Everyday is a big challenge and the equal amount of opportunities that it provides, rests upon you, how to use it and when to use it and for what purpose you are going to use it. Each day brings in something new for you to learn and give a lesson to others, especially your followers who are dependent on you for daily dose. Make the best opportunities from the worst of adversities, this will give loads of satisfaction and you become even more committed to your work and create a special bond with your work assignments.

Lots been said and done about blogging industry, people refer to thousands of websites before setting up their own blogs network, they take ideas from other blogs, some willfully copy the whole content and codes from other blogs, some design similar type of design, we do almost any thing under the sun to make our blog really popular like other blogging networks, isn’t it? The most important buzzword, everybody knows today is “Quality Content”, even a common laymen walking on the streets would tell you that, “if you need a blog, you need a quality content”, so what exactly is the quality content, aren’t the things we write usually “A quality” perhaps may be yes or no, it depends on the people’s perception and the idea behind the blog or an article.

As a profession, I meet many people, many writers, and many bloggers from the industry and seriously their writings, ah, I feel they are really a work of art, what makes all of them so appealing to read. Great posts are those, which teach you something, it provides you with information that you can use for your own business or research work. Whenever you see any creative writings, remember, some one has put lots of thoughts in to writing the creative work of art, as writing is an art, it’s a gifted talent. The blogging is really some hot news for new entrepreneurs but at the same time, I feel its getting in some machine like trend, not really as a good news. Blogs as they grow and mature, earn good money but I see a downfall with the new blogs, there may be varied reasons to it.

The most important aspect of keeping your blog alive is by maintaining its value and updating it on a daily basis. What I stress here is on producing the real content, the original useful content for the users of your site. Most of the times we see people vying only for the traffic and in transit, they come nowhere to their matched targets of producing the valued, quality content. So does it really satisfy their purpose of setting up the blog at first place? While some people wonder in amazement, that such things do really exist in blogosphere, the more the hype, the more the confusion amongst people to look for different ways to put across their content.

One thing I agree upon is, you do need a traffic to drive your website, but that shouldn’t be the only aim for you, traffic which is relevant, sometimes the SEO of the site leads an individual to your site and after entering the site, he might find nothing what he was looking for, so what is important is bringing the relevant traffic to the site, as people entering your site will start liking your content, they might refer even more people to use your site and in a way you are increasing your popularity in the blogging networks. Yes, blogging is all about making money, but use your little brains rather than imitating some other blogger, creative ideas are what blogs made of, if you cant come with something unique and creative, you stand no place in blogging world.

Some people think, the earliest bloggers where the lucky ones to reach their positions today, partially it may be correct but second reason is that, they came out with unique stuff that time when they started, as blogging was a new industry a decade back, it was them who thought of creating such ideas which can yield them popularity. Now, blogging is very popular though, but still you can come up with unique concept may be a blog gaming site or a membership site, library site where people blog about their books read. The opportunities are numerous; you have to just get your thinking right in the specific field. As I mentioned it earlier too, CONTENT is the most important thing in blogosphere, having thousands of readers and the number of tweets on your blog doesn’t make it necessarily a super content website, as the site get accommodated with valued data which is in great demand may be relating to a woman health or a finance blog or a beauty blog with proper SEO of the site, they are going to be super hit whether it has good content or no. So are we cheating on our readers or cheating ourselves? With the kind of content we put, we know we have put good content but is there a way to justify whether its really a good content or for that matter the amount of visitors and the comments or tweets we get? There is no official way of justifying your site whether it has good content or no, but I have come up with a little self study questions which if answered honestly would give you an answer to your queries and you can grade your site accordingly:

1. Going through your blog comments by readers on a regular basis would give you an idea of what your readers feel about the particular subject topic.
2. If there are lots of discussions going on between your readers, which requires each other to answer the questions with a solid proof, that sounds a good news for you, because people do strongly agree with you and your ideas relating to a particular topic.
3. If your follower has written 1 or 2 sentences, its probably because he agrees with you and supports you on the topic, he doesn’t has any objections.
4. In reality, there are very few people who would write their comments as,  “Great Posts”.
5. If you have few comments telling you about the content and people agree with you, that means they like your content and the data is useful to them.

Different blogging sites have different purposes and they serve different categories of people, if your site is new and you don’t get much comments, don’t get nervous, this is the start, remember and you probably would be happy, if there are less comments and all of them are positive. Positive comments are the deciding factors for your site and not by the number of visitors or the tweets you get. This was a very interesting, yet complicated topics for discussions, I hope you got insight in to what I really wanted to portray here, if yes, then please share your views here.

Blogging world has bought new hopes to individuals to earn money, that is extra income to support their already existing professions. Mind what I said, “supporting income” but some individuals just don’t seem to compromise on that factor. They will they can earn good money through their blogs and not going anything else, yes to some extent, they can do that but not at the very start of the blog. A blog takes time to mature and bring in traffic to its site. You just cannot expect to start getting ads and reviews writing and earn money, you have to make your stand in the industry so that people get attracted to you. The common procedure after a blog is developed, a person tries to pull in traffic for his websites, it’s a common misconception today with people in the blogging world that more traffic means more income, its not that, it depends on the amount of valuable traffic who will click on information tags that will yield you money.

Once a person starts up his blog, he develop lots of anxiety, there is excitement, zeal filled motivation and so he keeps

checking his stats over the website, as to how many people tuned into and after few days, the excitement levels, deep a little and they seem to be frustration and frustration gives them the feeling of quitting the blogs altogether, but this is not the way it should be. As a child takes time to nurture and develop his skills, similar is the case with blogs. Working with number of clients, I know for sure that they are looking for a quick fix solution and readily agree to use the boring marketing ideas already used by someone but may be perhaps they don’t have the idea, how huge blogging is and it takes more time to make it popular than the time it was actually prepared in. But all want to earn fast money I had suggest them rather to go for stock trading as blogging requires time, its not for hush-hush people.

Sometimes, interacting with clients of mine, discussing blogging ideas, blogging marketing strategies, etc. I came to know that people don’t really understand the meaning of the word “Traffic” now that sounds like a silly stuff I am talking about, but there are people who don’t know really what it means, perhaps a layman like me or you would say it’s the people who visit your site and sometimes, they estimate to the number of visitors on their site to the amount of money they would be making. For them I have some clear points:

1. Traffic means the people on the site.
2. They cannot be measured for the money you make.
3. You can only increase your traffic on the site by providing them quality content, once they like it they might refer your site and you may start getting money for ads posting or review writing.

Now, when I am already done with letting you know, what the actual traffic mean and how it is not directly connected to the amount of money you make, lets understand a deeper version as to WHY YOU NEED TRAFFIC ON YOUR SITE, IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT?

Some of you might get irritated, when I start this topic, but its extremely beneficial to the new comers in the industry and for those whose concepts are not clear yet. We all know, that you need traffic

to get someone on your site, but what I am trying to explain here is much deeper a concept, this intricate concept once understood, you will be the king in blogging world. Getting traffic is okay, what you need to do is more analysis, a break down of your processes and goal setting for your website, a vision – that you will follow. Suppose, that you are running a beauty blog, now it is understood more of your visitors would be females on the site, so why not put things that they would really like to read, you can take expert opinion, put beauty products on sale, highlight the features of the month, offering them free tips on makeup, etc. these small things would set your goals and you can truly foresee your future in a visionary’s eyes. You will see a sudden growth in the amount of traffic you get but don’t let loose on your objectives, don’t just stop into inventing things to make more traffic instead invest some time in knowing what to do with traffic, how can you hold on the existing customers and how do you provide them with better services.

Goal setting is one of the most important things to do when you blog, because that will drive the amount of quality content you provide along with proper designing of website and allow more customers to come and experience your network of blog. There are more than one positive ways, in which you can drive traffic to you site, stay positive and improve the quality of your blog each day and you will see traffic increase in your site. Implement new things happening around the blogging world like as stated below:

1. Connecting with other bloggers in the industry helps, as they might recommend your site to his network of bloggers and so the tree keeps growing from one person and you will see a sudden change in the amount of traffic you get.
2. Write quality content, as content is the king. Even for time being your site looks dirty, its acceptable but not the content. People come to your site, to gain knowledge so provide them with what they are really looking for.
3. If you visit some conference or a party, don’t forget to carry your business card, and for that matter even when you are visiting other blogging networks, don’t forget to mention your blog name along with the network, this will help you, people reach you more easily.

By now, I feel you must be filled up with good amount of energy, to get set rocking on your blogs, don’t forget to write quality content with updates each day. I follow the same rules for my blogs and you can see the amount of traffic I get, so any reasons, reasons?
