3 Factors Behind Blog Success or Failure

As strange as it seems it appears that the same 3 factors that influence your blog success also contribute to your failure as well! There are certain requirements that must be met in the development and maintenance of a blogging platform in order for it to become popular. The fact is that the most popular blogs have all maintain their commitment towards fulfilling these requirements but not everybody is up to the challenge! It is these 'challenges' that cause many to quit however to develop into a good blogger, one who has a popular site, it is more a matter of patience and resolve, and not talent!
Here are the 3 common factors that can either be the keys to success for your blogging platform or the obstacles that lead to your failure!
Interesting Content
Any good blogger recognizes the importance of maintaining a certain level of quality on their site for their readers. After all the blogging platform is there for the entertainment of the people who visit it otherwise the site would failure to exist! Over time both the site administration and those who frequent the blog come to know and better understand one another making content creation a little easier. What is offered readers is normally a mixture of insight, teaching, humor and even industry updating.
Exposure
Marketing always plays a role in the development of the most popular blogs and is the best way to accelerate its popularity. Gaining and maintaining exposure is something the site administrator should always take measures in doing to keep fresh traffic flowing to the platform itself. Make no mistake this will be an ongoing process and can be achieved through various marketing strategies. Simply choose a few that work best with your skill set, budget and time availability! For those that are challenged by the time required or simply a lack of motivation and/or resolve this will be an obstacle they will need to overcome!
Consistency
Marketing, content creation and even interacting with visitors by responding to comments left needs to be done consistently. Especially in the early developmental stages this consistency is important to both attract and retain traffic to your blogging platform. Consider it much like rolling something uphill in terms of once you stop, whatever it is you are rolling to the top will simply roll back down. Most popular blogs realize that their readers need to know what to expect. If your are not consistent with your efforts they will go elsewhere thereby you will be wasting your previous efforts!
Ironically your blog success is dependent upon the same 3 factors that can also lead to your failure as the discussion above reveals. Starting your own blogging platform is normally easy enough but to eventually become one of the most popular blogs in your niche takes time, effort and consistency! It is important to note however that in order to develop into a good blogger it requires more discipline than it does talent. This is to simply say anybody can have a successful blogging platform as long as they have the willingness to be patient and invest their efforts consistently! Difficulty or talent level however should NOT be considered obstacles!

7 Blog Posting Tips To Maximize Your Blogging Efforts

Whilst we all apply different techniques when posting articles on a blog, here are a few SEO friendly blog posting tips you should bear in mind if you want to increase your exposure.
1. Target a different longtail keyword phrase for each article you post on your blog. This will tell the search engines exactly what your blog article is about.
What you need to do is compile a list of longtail keyword phrases that you will use in your future blog posts. Google Adwords offers a free tool that will bring up the most commonly searched phrases related to the niche your blog is in.
2. In the title place just your keyword phrase. Use your keywords as the title rather than your whole article title.
Your keywords will appear in the blog url. As the search engine robots spider your blog they will immediately know what that article is about and this can help you rank higher on the search engines for that particular phrase.
3. Pay attention to your first paragraph. Put your keywords as close to the front of the first sentence as possible. Now bold the phrase to give additional emphasis.
4. Make good use of the body. This is a good place to link to a couple of additional sources.
Here you could add a link to an affiliate product or program that you are marketing. You can also link to helpful resources that are not affiliate links and that you don't benefit from personally. Search engines like it when you do this.
5. Don't forget the closing paragraph. Briefly summarise your article and add the exact same keyword phrase you used in the title and first paragraph. Again bold it for additional emphasis.
6. All in One SEO. This is a great SEO plug-in that you are well advised to install.
On every blog post that you make you can list the title, description, and keywords using the all in one SEO plug in. You can then submit this for the search engines to find.
7. Make use of the social directories. Unless you have a high-traffic blog search engines will not come to it on a regular basis.
If you make use of a submission service for your blog posts that is a good way to get your blog spidered quickly. Only Wire is a good one to get your blog posts submitted to over 40 online directories.
This is very easy to do. You just need the title of your blog post, the keywords, description and the url of the actual blog post. You paste these in, hit submit, and the information goes out to the various social directories.
You will increase the exposure your blog receives by implementing these blog posting tips. In time you will also generate more traffic to your blog.

Come visit Egypt (Nile) part 3

The Nile (Arabic: النيل‎, An Nīl, Ancient Egyptian Iteru or Ḥ'pī, Coptic ⲫⲓⲁⲣⲱ Piaro or Phiaro, Amharic: ዓባይ^?; transliterated: ʿAbbai, but pronounced Abbai) is a major north-flowing river in North Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world.^[3] It is 6,650 km (4,130 miles) long. It runs through the ten countries of Sudan,South Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda andEgypt.^[4]

The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The latter is the source of most of the water and fertile soil. The former is the longer. The White Nile rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source still undetermined but located in either Rwanda or Burundi. It flows north throughTanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and South Sudan. The Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana in Ethiopia at 12°02′09″N 037°15′53″E and flows into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.

The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilization has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan, and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egyptare found along riverbanks. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea.

Etymology

In the ancient Egyptian language, the Nile is called Ḥ'pī or iteru, meaning "great river", represented by the hieroglyphs shown on the left (literally itrw, and 'waters' determinative)^[5] In Coptic, the words piaro (Sahidic) or phiaro (Bohairic) meaning "the river" (lit. p(h).iar-o "the.canal-great") come from the same ancient name.

The English name Nile (Latin: Nīlos; Greek: Νεῖλος^[6]) is thought to be ultimately derived from the Semitic Nahal meaning "river" from which the Hebrew nachal (Hebrew: נחל‎) is derived.^{[citation needed]}
