What do I mean by effective? Well, that depends on your goals. In my opinion to truly make your blog a"SUCCESS" you must do the following…
http://wigflip.com
S : Searches: Put your website in multiple search engines,forums, google reader, etc. People canget there without needing to type in your exact address (more on this to come).
U: "Unknown" viewers: Get traffic from people outside your"circle" of family, friends and neighbors and out to anyone on the Web.
C: Consistency: WRITE REGULARLY! You should post at least 2-3 times aweek. If you are not actively posting, people will not actively view your site–it's that simple!
C: Clear Communication: If you want people to know where to orderyour book, how to contact you, etc. then you must make that information clearand easy to find. This also goes back to"searches" and putting your RSS feed everywhere! A neat website that is easy to maneuver isthe most accessible to everyone.
E: Enjoyable: Fun andinteresting to read and interactive! This begins with the design of your blog/website all the way to theheadlines of each post. Don't bore yourreaders! Let your voice shine and giveit a true personality!
S: Synced in: Hook up with Facebook, Google +, Twitter,and Follow by Email–as many ways as possible to share your posts/productsquickly and to keep luring people back to the site!
S: Social: Allow readers tochat, comment, and be involved.
