How To Choose Your Posts

I assume that this post is directed to bloggers or anyone who is interested in e-writing.
First of all, I don't like to be in a position of wiser or "expert", but I would like to share my experience and ideas with interested readers.
A worthy question rises here: For whom should I write? for interested readers? or for uncle google? or for myself?
Undoubtedly, it is pretty hard to write for them all (readers, uncle google and yourself). If you want to write for yourself, unfortunately, your blog or website will be like an empty library which is full of useful information, but lacks of readers. Taking in consideration that personal and new blogs have already low number of visitors.
However, when you want popularity, all you have to do is:
1. To choose the "peak time", in other words, when most of targeted internet users are likely online.
2. To choose topics that attract youths, since most of internet users are below 35 years old.
3. To choose current events and hot news or arguments.

Any way, uncle google may neglect your topic, so don't expect so many redirects to your topics, because huge corporations and experts are crowded at the door of uncle google.

I've decided to write for myself, more specifically, what I feel I want to say (i.e, be what you are). Meanwhile, I use some SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques like tagging and headlines optimization..etc..

How To Blog?. And How To Be Successful Blogger?

There is no specific formula for creativity. However, there are many tips and techniques that being acquired by experience and curious 'learning', but first of all, I believe that the process is accumulative and not just like easy.

1. Be Patient:
Patience is, by far, the second most important factor. Every e-author or editor or blogger wants to deliver his/her 'message' to audience. Nevertheless, Google has changed its searching 'algorithm' this year (2014), so new bloggers must be patient to guarantee "on-ground feet" within millions of websites.

2. Original Content:
Don't steal contents. Search engines are smarter than ever. Every day, I catch stolen ideas but I don't care as I know readers are too smart to "catch" thieves. However, Quotations, citing and references apply credibility to your content, so don't be hesitated to refer and backlink to the source or more info. sites. Original content is, by far, the most important factor.

3. Respect Your Concept:
If the option between your concept and popularity (high ranking), I will recommend you (and I) to choose your concept, because simply your site/blog would be deformed from the content point of view.

4. Contact Blog Mates And Admiring Web Masters.
Don't be hesitated to contact other bloggers and/or writers. This will add experience, on one hand. And assist you to deliver your contents, on the other hand.

5. Link Your Blog To Social Media:
An important step, albeit I hate facebook.

6. Good Luck.

Revelation

Before I start blogging in English, I asked two well-known Arab experts to join them as correspondent/ op-ed writer. Abdel Bari Atwan, famous Arab journalist, and Professor As' ad AbuKhalil,  both of them refused my request to join them.

I thank them both because they triggered me to exert efforts to develop my blog upon my views and concept.

Today, this blog receives about 300 readers daily depends on updated topics.

I invite all readers to share their opinions, views and comments.
