1 - The link you put in comments
Usually the link that is placed in the comments is the homepage of our website, but if you can put a link to an article on your website, talking about the same subject, it may be better. Another technique used by bloggers, is putting the address of your feeds, increasing subscriptions, and the opportunity to examine several other content on your website.

2 - Quality of comments
While commenting is important, create comments with quality is essential. So you’ll have great benefits with this practice. Comments well structured, are always the target of hundreds of visitors later.

3 - Don’t be negative
Generally it’s important to be positive in the comments. If your comment seems negative, there is great possibility to be ignored.

4 - Share knowledge
The best comments are definitely those who are built with the aim of adding value to the post. Share your knowledge on comments.

Take a few minutes of your day to comment on other blogs. Sharing knowledge is always the best way to achieve success.

1 - The web traffic is certainly a priority to generate profits. All success stories are preceded by large volumes of traffic. Without a significant traffic is virtually impossible to generate revenue. Many advertisers consider traffic as a priority to announce, instead of rankings or other methods of analysis. It is important you generate traffic, so you can monetize your blog more effectively. The rest comes in addition.

2 - The niche where he belongs probably will influence the volume of business that will generate in the future. If you write about grass cutters, you probably can’t have many expectations to compare with the best blogs on the web. If you want to enter a highly competitive niche, make sure you have a particular style and some difference in the content that may attract significant traffic.

3 - When you optimize and analyze the results, you probably will see an income lower than expected. There are projects that generate millions of pageviews each month, and are not profitable as they should. Analyze and compare your results with other competitors to optimize your income.

These are basic tips that can’t be left aside.

1 - The domain
If your domain is too long, probably will be difficult to remember later.The most successful sites on the Internet have short names: Digg, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Hi5, and so on. If you buy a domain such as “thisismyfirstblogontheweb.com”, the chance to remember the name is 0,001%. Keep this in mind!

2 - Blog theme
If you use a theme that is widely used in other blogs, your readers will probably give less credit to your blog. Here, for example, I use a theme adapted by me.

3 - The title of your blog
The title of your blog is equally or more important than the content.
Provide a title to highlight the topic of your blog and what is described in its content. So your readers will certainly remember your blog.

4 - The content
The relevance of the content is extremely important. Be concise and accurate when you write. Spend more time in the content of your blog, because this could bring a very positive performance.

5 - The interactivity
If I visit your blog, make some comments on relevant issues, request assistance by email or by a contact form, and do not get answers, I probably will not return to your blog. You have to interact with your readers.

6 - Constant update
One of the most important factors in blogs is the rate of updates that a particular blog receives daily. Update the blog constantly with content related to the topic proposed in your blog.

7 - Links to other sites
When you write a certain article, keep in mind the importance of creating links to references that you write. Don’t be afraid to put links to other blogs or websites. If your article is really good, your readers will continue with you.

Give more attention to details in your blog… the performance will improve.
