Yesterday I wrote Introduction to Blogging – Key #3 of 4 to be successful.

Today I will follow up with Key #3.

Any guesses about what will be coming up tomorrow?

Key # 4 of 4 to be successful at blogging.

Key # 4

Quality.

The writing/content still has to be good.

Sure enough, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time.

The search algorithms of the Googles and the Yahoos can determine if a blogger is just copying and pasting material from elsewhere or putting up something original.

Write good stuff, do it regularly, for a long time, and little by little, your blog will be noticed.

Add external links, internal links, images and your blog will do even better.

These four keys are pretty much the same rules for writing a novel, except for that last part.

A blog, how-ever, gives the writer a chance to be noticed now.

And, when that book is finished, to be noticed then, too.

What have I missed? What do you think are the keys to be successful at blogging?
