This article is a continuous of the previous two articles for part 1 and part 2. Now that you know how to write on your blog it is time to go in depth into blogging :)

How To Label Categories

The no.1 common mistake made by many bloggers is they always forget to categorized their post and most often people would categorized their post under uncategorized which is really wrong! It is always a good idea to break your blog up into different categories to create a nice filing system within your articles.

This will also allow your readers to find what you have posted on specific topics that you have written on your blog. More importantly, tagging your articles also helps in search engine rankings too. If you fail to tag your article with the right keywords, you are missing a great opportunity to get your articles ranked high in search engines.

Linking It Right On Your Blog

If you are currently running a blog and have no links on your blog, you are basically throwing all your chances of making money down the drain. It is really important to create links on your blog. Basically there are two types of links you can create on your articles. One of them is what we called an internal links and the other is the external links.

Tips On Internal Links

At most times, internal links are used to inform your readers of previous articles you have written but it can also be used to trick search engine into acknowledging the keyword is related to a post article.

Here’s an example how you get let search engine know that an article is important to a keyword. E.g. This article on Make Money Online is a great article to read on. If you noticed I used the keyword “Make Money Online” as the keyword to link to the article.

What this will do is that it will inform search engine spiders that the keyword Make Money Online is related to that link and chances of being ranked higher on search would be higher if you do this type of internal linking.

However do caution, you are not allow to overdo it as search engine will know and it will just make things worse if you over do it.

Tips On External Links

For external links, I would always recommend everyone to insert affilaite links within the post to sell affiliate products.

However, you do not want to just put the website link to sell an affiliate product. A more sneaky way of linking to your affiliate product would be this way. E.g. For the past 12 months, I have been blogging really actively making more then $203,000 in sales just by applying this secret guide book I have been reading about.

You will noticed from the above example, I make link with a sense of curiousness into it to make you click the link. This works really well for me and you may also try it too on your blog :)

That’s it for part 3 of “Powerful Tips On Writing Blog Articles”, in the next article I will be talking more about freq of posts, moderating comments.

When you start to over do it by linking too much of your link to your own website.. it tell search engine you are trying something fishy on your website…

That some how cost your website sometimes to be banned on search engines
