Top 10 Blog Writing Tips

6. Link often. This builds credibility and positions you as an expert in your field. People don't have time to know what others are doing, you should tell them. Linking to other blogs and websites also helps you build a network of associates who will in turn link to your blog.

7. Use keywords often. This will help you stay on purpose, and the search engines will love your blog. Your rankings will go up. This is one of the reasons we have you write out your purpose statements before beginning your blog. The clearer you are about your purpose, the more consistently you will deliver messages that are on target. And the more often your keywords show up, the better your search engine results.

8. Write clearly (short sentences, only one concept per sentence). No double speak or jargon; no more than one idea in one sentence- don't make your readers have to think about your meaning. Spoon feed them. Use commas and dashes liberally.

9. Write like you talk. It's okay to use common expressions from speech.
Examples:
Go figure.
Don't even go there'
Now, I ask you'
Gotta love it'

10. Use a clear headline, and don't be afraid to make bold statements (but don't mislead people either). Make it snazzy and use key words. Example: Ex-Techno-Weenie Masters HTML Code

BONUS: After you write a post and BEFORE you hit the save button

Use this checklist to ask yourself a few questions as you are reading through for typos and grammar:
__ Is the topic clear to someone who only reads the headline'
__Does the lead paragraph tell who and what the story is about and why the reader should care about it'
__ Is the angle you've used likely to seem newsworthy'
__Would someone who knows absolutely nothing about this topic understand this post'
__ Is the post free of jargon'
__ Is it written in journalistic style and does it make an effort to be objective'
