Naruto’s Guide to Effective Blogging
Being a Naruto fan myself, I believe one can pick-up a lot of lessons from him which you could apply in life, as well as blogging. To begin with, Naruto is a simple character, very predictable, but true to his intentions and goals. You could see through him because of his transparent character. Did I strike any chord about blogging? As homage to Naruto’s immense nine-tailed chakra, I came up with a list of 9 lessons from the anime series which could seriously help you in your path to being a better blogger. I’ll call it the “nine jutsus of blogging”. Here it goes:
1) Simplicity and humility
According to his creator, Masashi Kishimoto, Uzumaki Naruto was purposely created as a simple and straight forward character because he is not very much interested in smarter and sophisticated heroes. Being that, it’s easier for fans to understand and, perhaps, relate to him. Besides being simple, Naruto is also humble in his ways. He might be boisterous, but he never boasted about what he has achieved or looked down on his fellow ninjas based on their shortcomings because he understood that he has greater shortcomings himself.
As a blogger, I believe there’s an art of keeping complicated things simple. It’s difficult but we should strive to perfect it for our readers. It’s keeping things informal, conversational, and straight to the point. That way information can be a lot easier to digest for most readers. Also, keeping your blogging ways simple will make your blogging life a lot less complicated. In the same way, humility should be an integral part of blogging. There’s nothing people avoid the most than those who are unapproachable and extremely full of themselves. Always keep your feet firmly on the ground. Additionally, talking to people about themselves and what they were looking for is always better than focusing about you and you alone.
How to Boost Your Blog Traffic Using Keywords
Basically, keywords can do a lot of magic to your blog in terms of traffic through search engines. It is because search engines understand your blog through keywords. When someone tries to search for a certain keyword through Google, Yahoo, or MSN, it will show results of the sites they have indexed containing the word that someone is looking for. Depending on the keyword consistency of the page and the site as a whole, the search engines display their results according to the authority of the site on that particular keyword from the strongest to the weakest; where traffic, most of the time, is exclusive only to those who are displayed on the first to the tenth results page. By using keywords effectively in your posts, theoretically, you’ll increase your traffic from search engines because you’ll get your site displayed on the first five or ten search result pages of your keywords. At the same time, you’ll have audience who are interested in what you have to say or offer because you appeared in their searches.
The concept might be simple to look at from this point but, frankly, it is a lot of work. SEO practitioners call it “keyword research” which was first used on traditional websites. Bloggers adopted the idea because, basically, blogs are websites too but with a much different purpose compared to the traditional ones. The strategy behind the practice is basically building your site/blog or article around keywords to optimize it for search engine indexing. The question now is how to boost your traffic using keyword optimization? Here’s how…
