I've been wondering.

"What make a blog post to be interesting?"
"How to score a good hit in view rate?"
"Why certain people like some topic but not others?"

Well i decide to have some guidelines for blogger to write interesting blog post that is to ensure high viewing rate and grabbing the visitor's interest.

Well not exactly the best advice around but it is some of the common but forgotten facts about blog. As a result, i've compiled some interesting facts on how to get your blog traffic increase!


*Fact 1
Viewers prefer interesting topic.


Topics they have not read nor experience before will be a great interest to them. Try to write blog post that is not-your-everyday-experience. For example, rather than blogging about what everyone had blogged about "My Mamak Trip With Frens", you can try to blog it with something out of the ordinary "How Mamak Made My Supper" which is about you get to know the mamak make the roti canai and tosai. Add some funny notes to it and there you go, one original and interesting blog post.

*Fact 2
Viewers are attracted by catchy title.

Well needless to say that the first thing we look for in blog post is the title itself. It very much summarize what is the blog post about and give a rough idea how the blog post will be. Even is have a boring blog post, we can still attract attention to it by having some interesting blog post title. You may blog about your fren sleeping in lecture hall "My fren sleeping in lecture hall", it a boring blog post i would say. But once you replace the title with "The Death Of A Student", i'm sure your reader will read the blog post till the end because their are curious about what had happened.

*Fact 3
Hyperlink some words

This is some good old tricks blogger use worldwide. You can make your blog more visible and 'search-able' on internet by simple use of hyperlink. The more hyperlink you made to another website, the higher chances people will find your blog content when they search through Google or Yahoo.

*Fact 4
Viewer prefer pictures over word.

It is not necessary for me to say that we like to look at pictures rather than staring into thousands of words essay on your blog. Too much words make viewers to get disinterested the seconds they saw the blog post. Having combination of correct amount of words and pictures are the keyword here.

*Fact 5

Ask yourselves these question. Would you like to read some old and typical blog post about someone's daily routine life or some blog post about someone doing Bungee Jumping?? Get yourself involved in the activities around you. Have fun doing whatever you like. It can be interesting or boring of what you did, but its all just go to how your creativity sense blogs about it. Blog it interestingly, viewers starts pouring in.
