One of our readers asked us this question:
“I have started a blog, it’s now 3 months old. I got approved by AdSense but I have not managed to earn my first $70. All I want is to know how a perfect blog post looks like for it to attract traffic”
Answer
Based on my experience of blogging, you cannot exactly tell how a perfect blog post looks like. But there are key details a blog post should have in order to rank high on Google.
When writing a blog post, make sure that the content answers the title of the post exhaustively and what the reader was looking for. Nowadays, people want straight answer, they don’t have patience to read all the paragraphs looking for the answer.
Few years ago, long posts, those with at least 2,000 words ranked higher than the short ones. That is not the case today. Even a blog post with 100 words will rank at position 1 of Google as long as it answers specific question by a reader.
Another thing is that a perfect blog should not be written by AI. Blog posts which are 100% AI are rarely indexed.
The blog post should also answer more questions, which are deep and from an expert. Which means that for one to write a perfect blog post, he should be an expert in that area. Write as if you deeply understand the topic—not like you have read somewhere.
A perfect blog post should also contain opinions from different people. Open the comments section so that your readers can share their opinion. Alternatively, create a forum like Reddit where different opinions can be shared. Opinion from one person doesn’t qualify a blog post to be a perfect one.
A perfect blog post should contain a video, images and expressions of other experts. If possible, conduct your own research to determine what other experts are saying, then include those opinions in your post.
A perfect blog post should alight with the content of the authority site. If the site is about web hosting, the blog post should be about web hosting. Search engines will rank the post high on their pages.
