1.You Headlines should be relevant to your content:

Bloggers to bring traffic to their blogs make use of key word rich headline which is irrelevant to their content. Dont show your idioticness, by doing this your reader may click to your link but will not probably like to return back to your blog as you are providing with irrelevant informations according to the headline you are presenting with. Try to keep it simple and relevant. No need to act smart because it is going to prove disadvantageous.

2.Make your article easy to read:

Your article should be easy enough for the people to understand. The more complex you will make more difficult it is going to be for your readers to understand. You have to Signify that your article is worth reading and is ellaborated in an easy way.

The article should be ellaborated and presented in such a way that your point is clear and try and make use of sub heading and numbered lists to give a systematic approach to your article.

3. Make your article unique:

You article should be such that it should reflect you personality in your writing. People will love to read those articles which reflect a bloggers personality and that’s what blogging is all about.

4. Your article should link paragraphs in an explicit way:

Look below for an example:

“I was struggling myself to put the things together when the problems were still adding on and there was no one to my help and I looked back and fainted (That’s not all)……”

5. Make your points easy for the scanners to find:

Most of what we write the scanners can take a know how of it. What they look is the meat of the post you are expressing. You have to make it easy for the scanner to approach the meat of your post. This you can do by making sub-headings, bulleted lists etc.

6. Be professional in your writing:

You have to show your audience that you are a professional writer. Your article even if it consists of humour, phrases or a friendly style of writing it  should have a professional touch.

7. Signify when the article is can be stopped reading:

This is not easy as it seems. The readers never like to read the lengthy articles as no one wants to waste their time. They should get their answers before they reach they end of your article. You can also make use of a sub header for the conclusion of your article.

    This is quite informative. Thanks for sharing this to us.

    Another way to add credibility is for a blogger not to sound like he is marketing himself.

    The readers are more after what the blogger has to share than what the blogger has to brag about.

    Anyway, if the blogger is really that credible in presenting his views on his blog then visitors will follow for sure. :)

    Have a great day!

    I think increasing credibility of ones Blog is also directly related to increasing credibility as a Blogger or branding oneself as an Expert. Also a photo on the profile helps and makes people believe more.
