  Blogging can appear to be very simple, since it seems like everyone today has one. It seems like everyone has a blog these days. However, if you want to create a successful blog, you need to plan carefully. Keep the advice of this article in mind to make sure your blogging intentions are most suitable to you from the onset and that you can achieve your long term blogging goals.
  
  Consider using Windows Live Writer. This blogging client program is one of the most effective. While it was developed for Microsoft and therefore can only be used on Windows, it does the job much better than products made for the Mac. The thing that is good about Windows Live Writer is that it's free to use.
  
  It's important to select unique, non-competitive keywords for your site. If you put in the same words as everyone else, your site may not be seen by others. If you want multiple views, your content must be unique.
  
  Actively encourage readers to comment on your posts. Readers will feel like important participants in your blog if you encourage them to comment. Make a habit of responding to the comments your readers post, as well. This will keep your readers coming back to read more and to be a part of your living conversation on your topic.
  
  It's important to remember that blogging is all about social interaction. This means you must be accessible to your readers regularly. Also, you should get yourself out there, and talk to others that are in your particular niche. Blogging takes a lot of work, and not putting in enough of it is sure to see your blog fail. You need to show a proactive spirit to make a successful blog.
  
  Place important information such as links or announcements "above the fold." This term, left over from newspaper days, refers to the part of your site readers see without scrolling down when they access your site. This will make it easy for readers to navigate your blog.
  
  Get your readers to comment on your blog. Doing so will help your readers feel as if they are a vital part of your blog. Do your best to respond to the comments they leave. Doing this will encourage your visitors to keep coming back, reading more, and continue to be an active part of the conversations about your topics.
  
  Drive more potential buyers to your blog with social networking sites. You can use Facebook to promote your blog, or link to it from other sites. Tweet your newest and most interesting posts on Twitter. Make sure you do not over do it and wind up looking like a spammer to your friends and readers. With the right consistency, this kind of sharing can greatly increase your readership.
  
  Making comments on other blogs in your niche, is a good way of getting new visitors to your own blog. If you're using Google Reader, you can have a separate folder to use for keeping track of the blogs that you should be following. Read your favorite blogs and comment on them regularly. Make sure your comments have value, but don't hesitate to comment if you have something to say.
