Building a Blog Site : After Choosing a Theme

Even though experience for building a blog site isn't that necessary you'll have to ask yourself why would you want to build a website knowing you don't have any idea of what you're doing? Two things! First to get you to get started and most importantly to give you the right idea on how it's done to get good results rapidly.

Unknowingly there are steps that you can take, anyone can take, that can hurt a blog or website, from the stand point of distribution and promotion, when first building your blog site. It all starts with your research information. Oh! No one said anything about that huh? Will vs Technology

The most important phase (the beginning) on how to build your own blog site is to first find a theme or an industry to represent. For example an automobile industry is huge! But while the industry is so epic finding sub-niches from which you can serve and solve problems is a cinch. The Theme should reflect the industry. There are thousands.upon thousands of target markets in this industry. All the different components that make up the interior or the exterior can potentially have viable lower competition money making markets within them.

Now there are other things that factor in that will make a difference when it comes to getting your new blog site seen that will require things like making sure that your title and description are both optimized correctly, as should be the other meta tags, in the head section of your blog site pages. Those tags are the robots tag, author and the ones above. Meta tags have a specific purpose and should always be used.

Without actually going into any really great detail here about meta tags, after it's all been done, you'll need to simply follow the blog platform's tutorials to set up your blog. The things discussed here are for helping you on your way to building an SEO friendly blog that search engines will recognize and include in their queries or search results.

The content should be unique and very specific for audiences, as per our example above (the auto industry) or a very small but significant audience, depending on the sub-niche or target audience to that sub-niche, large enough to sustain a successful marketing potential to become an income earner.

Listing and submissions should be the very next step after following all of the plat form tutorials for building your new blog site.

At this point in constructing your site you should have already done everything above. You will need to do some other proactive things that'll help your blog sit move along more easily by making it more honed for your tastes and interaction. For this things like plugins and widgets are available for many blog sites via the platform that they operate from.

Learn which ones are appropriate to use for displaying text as well as digital content throughout your blog pages.

Tip: The general and writing pages of your WordPress blog in the dashboard section under settings together can be used to perform specific blog enhancing functions. Also you'll want to go to the permalink section (in settings) and make a custom link like " %pagename% " and set it as your default page link structure for your blog. the page name "pagename" says it all, it's mainly used for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes.

On the general page you can make changes like the Url prefix: date and time zones and formats as well as what week your blog starts on if you have a membership site of sorts.

The writing page has selections beneficial to helping your blog site as well. There things like ping services can be added to a pinging list that automatically pings all the services that you have on that list every time you submit or publish a post. Remote posting configuring can be done here along with several other vital functions too.

So far used in conjunction with a WordPress blogging platform, and improvised a bit in some others, these setup tips will ensure that the search engines will spot, list and periodically crawl your blog site. These frequent visits will report back to all the article, and website/blog directories. It's important to list your blog with as many as possible. Back-links play an all important part in ranking well with your pages.
