Newbie, recently opened a blog, need some tips from the pros.

Oh boy, that is a lot of info that you are looking for my friend. lol

As for how may article. One a day, will bring you site up in the rankings with google. If you take a look at Alexa - The Web Information Company you will be able to track you progress as you move up. A good thing is to keep you key words, below 10%, as this looks better to google. Also make sure that things do make sense.

As for your second question. A lot of people, don't care what they promote, and just through up premade articles. The ones that do care, research the products, and write from there. You can read other peoples articles, and then re-write them, to make them your own. I did that for a couple of months, before I learned enough to be able to do my own. Just make sure that you change 75% of the article, or you can get nailed by google.

Number 3. All SEO takes time. But you are on the right track with what you are doing. Try Comment luv. Take a look at what it offers you. It is a great tool, and is great for building back links. I won't give you my affiliate link, on the page, but if you want to get it, you can PM me, and then we can both benifit for it. lol

I hope this helps.

I started my blog in 2013 and by December i was averaging over 160 unique visitors per day. I post on average 3-7 posts a month.

You do not have to have first hand experience with a product to be able to review it.

First of all you have to have a plan. What are you trying to achieve? What are your goals?
Blogging to me was never an option to make money but more a platform to brand myself. My traffic is mostly my subscribers from my list building.
What are you selling/promoting? Loads of questions before we can answer properly.

In a positive mode, at least you have taken some action and that sets you ahead of a whole bunch of people.

First, I want to commend you for giving us as much information as you have, and for writing specific questions. Most new members fail to do just that, then complain when they don't get the answers they expect.

1) There is no set minimum or maximum for posting articles over time. The key is to focus on content that will be helpful to your readers. If there is nothing important to tell your readers, and you try to force new content, you're just adding fluff to your website. This can be good, but it can also be bad.

It's better to expand on important topics, and update pages that are getting traffic, then to add new content that isn't helpful to your readers.
(Seriously, this one's important)

2) Many affiliates target people looking for Reviews, yet they do not provide actual reviews for the product they speak of. This leads to people continuing their search for the information they want, or buying the product only to realize it wasn't what they wanted. In both cases, the 'Reviewer' has a damaged reputation for this.

But, there is nothing saying you cannot contact the product owner and ask for a review copy. Be sure to include information as to how you intend to promote their product, and link to your related website. Most product owners will jump at the chance to increase their bottom line, and those who don't are most likely selling products that don't do well anyway.

3) I can't really help you with this, as I don't believe in pleasing Software. That's what Search Engines are... Software. Programs designed for a single purpose, which is not to purchase your products or click your ads.

You should be focusing on Real People. Real People may purchase your products, click your ads and/or join your list. Real People is difference between a failing IM Business, and a Successful IM Business.

Put your business in front of Real People!

Do you think buying three or five high PR links would be worthwhile for a new blog. I am considering doing this, but nnot sure if it would be wise for a new blog.

Please don't try to advise me about Google's view of buying links, I have heard it. I don't care.

Tim,

Before you waste money on "High PR Backlinks" that may or may not bring visitors to your website...

Find your popular/most visited pages and add a little something to them. Then pin the images of each page to a Pinterest Board with your websites name (without the extention, ie; .com .net .org etc).

Then, post a quick note on Twitter and Facebook about your new updated content.

You should be able to do a page in 10-15 minutes, once you find something to add to the page itself. A good way to find this content is to ask what is missing from the content you have already. What questions do your readers ask about that page... Build on that.

Not only is this a very quick and simple task, but it's putting more content on your website, and then putting that new content directly in the view of REAL PEOPLE.

1. There's no set number. Make sure every post you make is REALLY great. Not half hearted or mediocre. No one wants to read mediocre stuff.

And once you've posted something be sure to let people know about it in every way you can. You don't just post to the blog and hope for the best that people will find it. You have to let them know. Get networking, promoting and get your content out there in front of your target audience.

2. Some people are able to work on niches they have no knowledge or interest in by researching as much as they can and writing with authority or outsourcing. You can get topic inspiration from niche related forums (questions and common problems people ask), other blogs (check what topic are popular), questions on Q&A sites, topics from books in the niche (check Amazon and use the look inside feature), Reddit etc.

For many its really difficult to write on subjects you have little knowledge or interest in (myself included) so it's better to stick with niches you are passionate about.

3. You'd be better not to focus too much on ranking in the search engines as even if you achieve it Google might change things up and suddenly you're no longer ranking. Focus on driving direct traffic from for example niche forums, blogs (commenting / guest posting), social media hubs, Q&A sites, Reddit, YT videos, slideshare and wherever else you can find your target audience.

That way you are more in control. With Google you have next to no control over it.

Wow! I didn't expect so many people will help me!
Thank you very much, all of you! your comments helped me a lot.
I will now try to focus on Real People! ( I'm Not forgetting about SEO )
Anyway, i really appreciate it!
