Many bloggers in the blogosphere think that building a blog is equal to writing content (only content).That is not the only way your blog succeeds in this competitive Internet world guyz! Yes,I do believe content as a part of blogging but don’t think content as the only brick which helps your blog to build.
So what is blog building according to us ?
Blog Building means Setting your Goals.
Set your goals on blog traffic,subscriber count,monthly revenue and ranking, And achieve them in a given period of time.Start aiming with easier task and as time progresses,try to achieve big goals.
Blog building means
Interacting with your readers and talking with them on platforms like Gtalk,Twitter,blogcatalog or anyt social networking community is a way to know your potential in blogging and your best niche.
Blog building means experimenting
Experimenting your blog by placing adsense or other ad network on different position and researching the best ad placement spot or posting something different,starting a competition,changing the wordpress theme are some of the ways to experiment with your blog.The more you experiment,the more you learn.
Blog building means branding yourself and your business
Not only choosing a good domain name but also making your blog unique and different from your blogging niche competitor will build your blog and drive you to the top.
Blog building means generating traffic
Simple way to get good amount of traffic is by submitting articles to social sites and marketing about your blog using your seo skill.Going with paid directory or free directory listing does help a lot.Remember not to do these things.
Blog building means writing Good content
As I said,content is not the only brick for building a blog,but it is plays a role in building your blog.Yes content is the king but relevant useful content is king nowadays.Their are tons of junk unrelated fresh articles on the Internet which is being written every hour.So make sure you don’t fall in their group.

Hi,
One of the better posts I have seen in a long time. Your all points are true. Interaction with your readers is a must.

good tips for becoming a sucessful blogger
This should be a good read for someone whose started blogging or thinking of joining the party.
@Regarding “Comments”
It depends on your perception. You won’t get comments on every post that you make, key is, don’t get disappointed at all. The “You scratch my back, I’ll Scratch yours” is a good concept, ranks you in social networking and people visit your blog often because you are doing the same for them.
now i am able to understand that building a blog means building a community around your blog.
@all very well said
But still if you don’t have that determination and are disheartened by no comments or less comments then probably blogging is not for you
A good comment only hypes up its readers 60% but it takes 40% to interact with others and comment on others blogs as there is a saying.

“You scratch my back and i’ll scratch yours” lol
This is a great post. You are definitely right about these things. No matter how good your contents are but, you don’t have time to interact with other bloggers. Then, it will result to nothing. Just like what’s happening to me. I love to blog. It’s just that I only get to touch my PC whenever I get a chance to. My family and my job are the main reason for this. But, of course we have our own priorities. Yet, I do love what I’m doing. From blogging to working, taking care of my family to blogging. Hah! Here we go. So, keep up the good work.
@Both – Thanks for the comment (Atleast i dont have the commentless posts
) and you people are right,building community includes commenting,making blog owner as friends and being friendly with readers.
Once again –> Comments appreciated!
Yeah, I agree with Siddharth. If there will be no response from the visitors, the writer will get discouraged and stop writing. I know such people who stopped blogging just because they didn’t got comments.
Good points
without good amount of visitors and comments the will to write good content also reduces
