Great article! Thank you for your tips. I say that you should write for your readers, not for Search Engines.
Keep up the good work!

P.S Dugg it! :)

Heya Dragos (FSD), thanks for the vote on Digg!

That's what I am doing right here, which is to write for readers instead of the search engines. :)

Hey Daniel,

Excellent post.

Blogging really does revolve so much around building new relationships, and that's why your points 1, 2 and 4 all discuss that.

I've built my blog solely from talking to other bloggers through comments, emails and social networking Web sites. When I spot a problem on their blog (a broken image, a broken link etc) I email them. I do that, because I know that when people have taken the time to email me about broken links on my blog, I've remembered their name and gone to their blog.

But there are so many ways to build relationships in the blogosphere, and all will pay far more than just more subscribers. Long term friendships are one of the reasons I love blogging. :)

Initiating conversations has been a great match with my blog. My readers do an amazing job of providing intelligent, funny, insightful comments whenever they have the floor. Of course, you've got to sincerely care about what others have to say for this one to work. For me, the conversation has been one of the greatest pleasures of blogging.

@Kikolani - Yeps! It's also a great way to get my some energy level after a huge day of activities. :)

@Sara - Heya Sara! Great seeing you here. :D I love having insightful comments and creating conversations both on the blogs and off it. It's sure fun having to get to know more bloggers like yourself through the web. Way cool!

Great thoughts in there Daniel. I would probably add a "S" into "RIOT" as Supplement your readers with additional resources for references.

@Wei Liang - Although "RIOTS" doesn't have a good ring to it. :)

Great ideas. I can see what you mean about initiating conversation. Usually I will add a question at the end of my post. to get a conversation going, and my readers seem to like that. And then sometimes, I don't if I feel that the post just needs to stand by itself.

Btw, I'm just curious, are you from the Philippines? (I am :-)

@Pink Ink - Heya! I'm from Singapore. Great having you here! :D
