The Art of writing an Article
If you master the art of writing useful articles you will make a lot of money online from your blogging activities. Let me give you some specific tips in order to writing 'successful blog articles' which will bring you a lot of blog traffic. These are a result of my own experimenting and experience.

• Choosing the Title / Topic of your Blog Article: You article should be a blog post focussed on one or a group of related keywords. One to three of those keywords should appear in your title. In order to choose the best keyword for title and sprinkling throughout your blog post, use Google Insights to get an idea for what people search. For example, if i want to write a blog post on Home Loan, there are some similar sounding keywords - Home Loan, Home Mortgage, Housing Loan, etc. After using Google Insights I find the following - The queries for Home loan and home mortgage are much more than those for housing loan or house loan. So it is better to home loan/ mortgage in the title and in most of your blog article.
  Get the idea? Also remember to select the country and other specifics of audience you are planning to target while using Google Insights.
  
• Try to give complete information related to that group of keywords: When you complete writing your blog post, ask yourself the question - if a person lands up on your blog post by google search, will he/she find what they are looking for? Whatever keyword or keywords you have in mind for that blog post, have you supplied complete information? This is important for making your blog visitors stay on your blog for a longer time.
• Provide related and meaningful external links : Try to link to top external web pages on related topic. This will be good for your visitors and also good for your rankings too.
• Update your best blog posts - You will have some blog posts which will attract good blog traffic. It is important to keep the information in that blog post up to date. It is useful to use sitemeter to track what your visitors come looking for and then see if your blog post actually has information useful for them. Monitoring what keywords your blog visitors use to arrive at your blog post can also be useful for getting ideas to write further posts.
