Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

Blogs carry more credibility than websites. The keys to getting your professional or topical weblog publicized and more widely-read are incredibly simple, if you're serious about blogging for influence or advertising revenues. There are no "miracle cures," and there are no surprises -- just some genuine common sense and perseverance. The ultimate magic is still quality content. Save some money on miracle fixes and fancy machinery -- smarter search engines, trailing a bit behind Humanity (arguably) are looking for original quality content.

The Absolute And Proven Methods To Elevating Your Blog's Visibility And Credibility?

Here's the checklist, handed to you by Douglas E Castle (a conceited lout), TNNWC Management Consulting Services, and a blue-ribbon panel of unproclaimed (and self-proclaimed) blog-ranking authorities assembled by the staff (or is it staph?...hmm) of Mad Marketing Tactics!

Seriously - these absolutely work:

original (unique) content,
"personality",
writing style,
utility (as a reference or resource),
frequency of posting,
quality of posts and content,
optimized reader-friendly formatting (making your blog easier to navigate and to use),
high-power search engine optimization (SEO tricks involving metatags, keywords, sticky tools, growing a network of inbound links from high PR-ranked sources, using social media hooks to buzz your brand and existence, news releases, submission of your blog and its related RSS feeds to a tremendous number of directories, and other geekery and gadgetry), and
visual images (embedded pictures*, slideshows, and other audio-visual 'sensorial grabbers').

If you truly follow all of the pointers above, diligently and consistently, your blog will begin to soar. Blog Rank, a wonderful site and service, describes how the rankings and ratings systems work -- how they will quantitatively show the effects of your efforts.

Blog Rank uses over 20 different factors to rank the blogs in any category. Some of the factors include:RSS membership, incoming links, Compete Alexa,and Technorati ranking, and social sites popularity [Learn more about our ranking logic]

In summary, if you want the best metric results as used as "grading criteria" in Feed Rank, go back to the top of the page and attend to the qualitative work required to produce those results. It works, and it can easily work for you.
