I was recently looking at the log files of a blog client of mine. She wanted to know how she could see how many visitors had found her blog and I was preparing to give her what I thought would be bad news.
See, she had only posted 15 articles to her blog… 3 of them poems. She hadn’t been tagging her posts… she hadn’t focused on essential keywords… and she hadn’t been posting regularly.
Imagine my surprise when I saw she had already snagged almost 200 visitors this month to her brand new blog. She told me that 25 of them had signed up for her newsletter. I WAS STUNNED!
When I looked at the keywords, I saw the reason for her amazing blog success: she had chosen a GREAT blog name and domain name for her blog. Because she had started with a great blog name, her blog was already taking off… despite all the “blogging mistakes” she was making!
Great Blog Names
If there is one KEY to a great blog name it’s to include a highly desired keyword in the domain name of the blog. There are lots of free tools you can use to find a great keyword for your blog. However, there’s a paid resource that literally blows the free tools away. It’s called Wordze.
For less than $8 you can use Wordze for a week and find out which keywords are the best investment to make when optimizing your blog.
Once you’ve found your ideal keywords, then register a domain name that contains those keywords. Here’s a great tool you can use to combine two words into a great blog domain name: Domain Twist
A great blog name can overcome a multitude of blogging “sins”. Begin by focusing on a great keyword, then register a domain name that contains that keyword combination.
