yea...I ask myself that same question, too. That's what we all want, but obviously it isn't easy. We all thin out blogs are 'good' but getting the traffic (and having it stick) is the hardest part.

Oohh my favorite subject, blog writing. To me, I guess, it comes easy. I typically find stuff by surfing like promos that doesn't appear to have much traffic going to them with no PR and then I write about it and it typically gets peoples attention. I also surf the net to brainstorm and see if anything triggers my brain to wanna write about anything I find. Doing interviews is a good way to get attention, I know I have done that one before and it gained traffic very easily.

Write an article that has greater interest with people. Make it unique and informative.

If you want to create a good blog, then start choosing a niche that is close to your interest or a niche that you have more knowledge. In this way, you can come up with unique and interesting ideas in writing articles for your blog.

What are you exactly referring to when you say "good"? I think many people have differing opinions about what "good" content is.

Google likes unique content so write unique and informative content that will help your blog.

I don't necessarily think daily is necessary (unless your topic deems it) but certainly several times per week. Fresh content is key!

You should read my article about "Blogging with a difference"

I am sure if you follow it you will have a nice blog then

Take KentuckySlone's advise and you're all good. I advise that you have your self play as the readers, and ask yourself if the post you have written attracted you, caught your attention or even provided you a very good source of credible information that you are looking for. That makes a difference.

There are only two ways to get better blogging first is read tons of blogs see what looks good and what works the second is to practice and make sure to leave comments open. I have found that people love to express what they like and don't like and I prompt my readers after each post to tell me what they would like to see on my blog. I also ask them on my marketing blog which topics they would like me to cover.

Write what ever comes in your mind in that manner people like to read. Write good quality and original content fro your blog.
