A successful blog is a product of time and effort and as a site administrator, you will need patience.

Maintaining a steady stream of creative writing ideas is vital to be able to constantly update the blog. The frequency of publication to a proper schedule is related to the measure of the amount of time you have available and your level of motivation. However, it is important to establish a sort of consistency so that people can schedule their own visits accordingly. Just remember that the more often you write, the more people will visit, so their loyalty will grow faster and their referrals will be extended.For becoming a popular blogger is important having a healthy source of creative writing ideas, along with a lot of patience and motivation. Ultimately, it will be reduced to you as the system administrator to provide the three qualities of a blogger we discussed above, who is searching tirelessly his goal of having a successful blog.

Google Analytics is a platform created with the purpose of providing us a tracking of the number of visits and page views on our blog that also uses several filters to check exactly from where visitors are coming via standard or custom reports.Google Analytics is the leading free tool that has a good relationship with the internet marketing and offers suggestions and improvements or benefits for our website.
Implementing Google Analytics on Blogger
1. Do you have a Google Analytics account? Then it's perfect. If you don't have one, please Register.2. Within the account, we'll go to Admin and in the Property column, click the menu, then click Create new property, where we enter the information from the website.
3. Click on "Get Tracking ID" and it will provide a box with a code, select and copy the code (CTRL + C).
4. Now let's go to our Blogger account.
5. Look for your blog and in the Template > Edit HTML, paste the code previously generated in Analytics before the </head> tag (CTRL + F in order to find it).
And this would be the entire procedure. And within about 24 hours, we shall see the first statistics of our blog in Google Analytics, otherwise do the following:
- Double check that the code has no spaces or characters.
- Errors in the configuration.
- Poor implementation of the filters.
- The Flash plugin is not working or javascript is disabled.
- Will have minor issues if you are receiving visits from China (this conflict is not yet solved, according to Google).
Many think that Google AdWords is the only tool dedicated and available to perform a study such as a keyword search,
but it isn't so, today I refute this little lie by collecting some
alternatives that, although are not equal to Google AdWords, at least
encourage us to make good keyword analysis for the SEO of our website.
Going back a bit, for those unfamiliar with the main features and tools of Google AdWords, we can find a very simple interface yet complete in every sense.
After we register, to access the tool, go to Diagnostics & Tools and click on the second option on the list: Keyword Research.
SEMRush:
Other freemium alternative that displays a very complete report of a
particular keyword or website. However, it has limitations and if you
opt for a PRO recurring plan you need to pay a monthly membership from
$69.95 per month.
Ubersuggest: This nice and simple online tool searches keywords suggestion as well as potential titles for an article. Personally, I recommend it 100%.
Keyword Eye:
If you are looking to perform a keyword research on a particular
region, Keyword Eye will be your help. It also has the option of
requesting the display of search volume or AdWords competition and a
full report of anchor text, keywords and domain.
At first it offers a free plan with limitations and to enjoy all other benefits we have to pay $9.99 per month.
Going back a bit, for those unfamiliar with the main features and tools of Google AdWords, we can find a very simple interface yet complete in every sense.
- AdWords appearance has changed, however there is a chance of returning to the old design.
- Allows you to place a phrase or keyword, a web site and use the categories.
- For a better keywords search, you can apply filters such as location, language and add custom fields (competition, local or global monthly searches, CPC, Ad share, etc.).
- Displays keyword ideas in columns with the amount of local and global monthly searches and approximate CPC.
- You can download keyword ideas, search results in a format to open with Excel.
Google AdWords Alternatives
Bing Webmaster Tools: Bing may not be the tool that we had first thought of, however it wants to provide the best conditions for studying keywords.After we register, to access the tool, go to Diagnostics & Tools and click on the second option on the list: Keyword Research.
Ubersuggest: This nice and simple online tool searches keywords suggestion as well as potential titles for an article. Personally, I recommend it 100%.

An important part of a good SEO
is the incorporation of meta tags, which are commonly located in the
header of our website and which, in the same time, are invisible to
users visiting the site. Well, to be more succinct, these tags have only
one purpose: to include information about the page such as author name, date, key word, description, title, among others.
However, here we will only mention one, which is the meta description in Blogger, this description will appear as a fragment in the search results and as a description when sharing on Google+, Facebook and other social networks. A clear and precise description increases the chances of getting visits or clicks.
As we will work only on the Blogger platform, here I leave a little guide to easily add a meta description.
Then check the box "Yes" to enable search description and finally click on the "Save Changes" button.
You are ready, however it is best to test if it works and we will do so with the MetaChecker online tool, where we only have to introduce the url of a post or page, click Analyze and then it will show the results, including a complete analysis of keywords, on-page seo , meta tags, URLs, current server status and a rating bar that goes from Horror to Excellent.
If none of the meta descriptions appear (rarely fails), we will do the process manually, but it requires us to touch a bit of code. In this case, go to Template > Edit HTML and then insert before <b:skin><
Then check the box "Yes" to enable search description and finally click on the "Save Changes" button.
Adding Meta Description To individual Posts
Now we will focus on adding the meta description to individual pages. Simply edit the page or post, look for the Search Description setting, where we enter the text and then save by clicking on the Done button.You are ready, however it is best to test if it works and we will do so with the MetaChecker online tool, where we only have to introduce the url of a post or page, click Analyze and then it will show the results, including a complete analysis of keywords, on-page seo , meta tags, URLs, current server status and a rating bar that goes from Horror to Excellent.

On the Internet there are many both free as well as paid web hosting where we can host images, but since we use Blogger then there is nothing better than using the same hosting service that Google gives us and that is Picasa.
The fastest way to upload an image is by going to the Blogger post editor. From your Blogger Dashboard, go to your blog, then click on the New post button. And preferably from the Edit HTML tab, click on the image icon.
Automatic read more for blogger posts can be done by inputting some code into your blog templates.
What is a Facebook Page?
Sometimes referred to as a "Fan Page," a Facebook page is a single page where you can share & talk about any particular subject you want: a celebrity, a blog or whatever your heart desires. Think of it as a one-page meeting place, with information, links, a message forum box, RSS and anything else you want.

According to the Computer Desktop Encyclopedia, Blogger is:
"A Web site launched in 1999 from Pyra Labs, San Francisco, CA (www.blogger.com) that provides the tools for creating blogs (Weblogs). After users select a pre-designed template or create one with their look and feel, every posting entered on Blogger is published to the Blogger page on their Web site automatically. In early 2003, Blogger was acquired by Google. "
Sitemaps are text files containing a list of all web pages that exist on your website and are accessible to crawlers and users. These helps visitors and search engine bots to find pages on website. Sitemaps are a way to help Google indexing pages on your site which otherwise might not be discovered.
If your blog is hosted on blogspot.com (or if you are using a self-hosted version of Blogger with a custom domain) you will be surprised to find out that the default sitemap file, contains only the 26 most recent pages of your blog which in normal case should contain all URLs of a website.
