A few that have worked well for me:

1. Leverage your unique strengths. Maybe you’re a great photographer, or an illustrator. Maybe you have access to data that no one else does. Maybe you write short, insightful commentary on trends better than anyone else. Maybe you’re an artistic writer, whose language and style create delight. Whatever the case, you should use it! Don’t blog in a certain style because you’ve heard it’s effective. Blog in a way that makes your strength the center of the value people can earn from your posts.
2. Create expectations and fulfill them. This means consistency in what you publish, when you publish, how you write, what you share, etc. In my experience, audiences share and have attraction to blogs that consistently deliver what they want.
3. Before you hit publish, do at least a little bit of keyword research, a bit of planning for outreach, and a little promotion after you publish, too. I wrote this piece for Problogger that goes into more depth: Publish your Blog Post without SEO and 1000s of Visits Will be Forever Lost.
4. In the early days, anytime someone comments, reply quickly and engage them. Go tweet to them, go check out their site and leave a comment on one of their posts (if they have them). By reciprocating the behavior you hope to see from your audience (high engagement and respectful, positive interactions), you’re setting the tone and building a relationship that can mean additional loyalty and amplification for years to come.
5. Choose topics people care about. That sounds way easier than it is. I do this by staying very close to what my industry’s talking about — on Twitter, on Q+A sites, in the forums, in blog comments, at events, etc. There are a number of processes you can build to have deep empathy for your audience, but few things will serve you as well as being able to identify topics that are *hot* or in desperate need of an answer, a discussion, or some cathartic sharing.

Search marketing is the process of gaining traffic and visibility from search engines through both paid and unpaid efforts. Search engine marketing, or SEM, is one of the most effective ways to grow your business in an increasingly competitive marketplace. With millions of businesses out there all vying for the same eyeballs, it’s never been more important to advertise online, and search engine marketing is the most effective way to promote your products and grow your business.
Search engine marketing’s greatest strength is that it offers advertisers the opportunity to put their ads in front of motivated customers who are ready to buy at the precise moment they’re ready to make a purchase. No other advertising medium can do this, which is why search engine marketing is so effective and such an amazingly powerful way to grow your business.

Keywords: The Foundation of Search Engine Marketing

Keywords are the foundation of search engine marketing. As users enter keywords (as part of search queries) into search engines to find what they’re looking for, it should come as little surprise that keywords form the basis of search engine marketing as an advertising strategy.
Keyword Research
Before you can choose which keywords to use in your search engine marketing campaigns, you need to conduct comprehensive research as part of your keyword management strategy.
First, you need to identify keywords that are relevant to your business and that prospective customers are likely to use when searching for your products and services.
An optimally structured account is comprised of five distinct elements:

• Ad campaigns
• Ad groups
• Keywords
• Ad text
• Landing pages

Ad campaigns can, and should in many cases, focus on similar products or services. For example, if you run a hardware store, one ad campaign could focus exclusively on autumnal products such as leaf blowers, rakes, and leaf bags, whereas another might focus on power tools and so on.

Ad groups allow for each campaign to be further subcategorized for relevance. In our hardware store example, one ad group could be for different types of rakes or varying models of leaf blowers. For the power tools campaign, one ad group might focus on power drills, while another could focus on circular saws. This level of organization might take slightly longer to set up initially, but the rewards – namely higher CTRs at lower cost – make this effort worthwhile in the long run.

The Importance of Quality Score in SEM

Given that Google AdWords’ Quality Score comprises half of the ad rank formula, it is one of the most crucial metrics search engine marketers can focus on. High Quality Scores can help you achieve better ad position at lower costs, because Google favors ads that are highly relevant to user queries.
