3. Domain Name:
Try to include one or two keywords in your domain name and that related to your blogging subject or topic. It’s very important if you want to apply some SEO or search engine optimization techniques to your blog. When a search engine start searching for any specific keyword, first it start looking searching in the domain name for that keyword and 2nd time it start searching in the title or description and others parts.

You can consider my blog address as an example. My blogging topic is about various secret tips to make online money. That’s why I choose hiddensecrets-onlinemoney, I have included three master keywords “secrets” ”online” and” ”money”. Try to choose an easy memorable domain name always.

4. Blog Title and Description:
After choosing a suitable domain name, give an attractive title and description of your blog. Give a nice and easy understandable description of your blog below the title. Describe what is your blog about or purposes of your blogging etc in this section. Don’t provide anything that is not related to your blogging topic. The title and description will appear on the opening page, so when your readers will not find something they are looking for, they will leave.

5. Choosing a Template:
For any beginner blogger I will recommend to work with the default template at first. The classic and other available templates in blogger.com are easy to optimize for any new blogger. You can change your template any time. Initially keep focus on writing article is very important. There are lots of free wonderful templates for blogs on the internet. After gathering some well experiences it will be very easy to optimize blog with any template which could help you to bring more traffic. Then you can choose a template that reflects your blogging theme. If your blogging topic is about motorbike than you must not use an airplane template!

6. Write Great Content for your Blog:
You have completed above 5 steps, which means you are half way done. Now start to creating post, it’s easy to create a post but hard to create a great post! Your Title of any blog post must be related with your blog title. If your blog is about computer tips than you should not write anything about Hollywood movie! Always try to write quality content. Quality is important than Quantity. The quality, topic of your posts is the main key of your blog traffic. Give special attention for inside or outside links in your posts. Make sure there is no dead or error link in your blog.

7. Start posting regularly:

Now, this is just the beginning. A lot of hard works you have to do, so prepare yourself for the upcoming struggle. Don't get panic, this is not so hard, you need just use your brain, write from your heart, fully original content.

Make posts regularly in your blog. Try to do it once or twice a day. After some successful great posting (5-10), start searching for how to increase your blog traffic. Success in blogging mainly depends on traffic; you need lots of traffic, traffic and traffic to achieve your goal in the blogging field.
