What blog writing takes to become an efficient blogger
Blog writing is not quite the same as any other form of writing. It requires a certain touch which is a combination of finding a voice that does not remind the reader of being in school yet they can walk away having learned something. It is a combination of being formal to the point where your writing is written in good English and structured soundly but on the same note it does not have to be overboard with punctuation and perfect.
Blog writing is like writing in a diary except one read by any and everyone online. You want to be honest and revealing and personal but not to the extent where you lose any and all credibility in your authority. You need to chose keywords to write on but not focus on your keywords but your content.
You need to engage your readers who can span from six years old to sixty. From male to female. From any and all backgrounds. So your voice needs to be somewhere in the middle OR you can chose to go with one voice that may alienate everyone but your specific intended audience.
You need to be an expert on your topic to be a good at blog writing. People reading your blog are perhaps in the same field you are writing on and looking to learn more. They will know after your first article if you are full of it or not. If you use the right words and in the right way. Right on what you know, in your own words and in your own way. In my own that is what an efficient blogger does to be good at blog writing.

How to increase website traffic by leaving comments
When people visit your blog do you notice? Of course, why? Well it means someone went out of their way and read your article (or not) and left a comment on your blog. Makes you feel good doesn’t it? Like someone out there is actually reading what you write? Well, return the favor. Go to the bloggers website and leave a comment on their website.
There are two great reasons to increase website traffic by leaving comments. The first reason is that you can post comments on very popular blogs. Blogs that get hundreds of readers each day and each of those readers will read the comments as well. If you are one of the first to leave a comment on a popular blog you can see a huge spike with increase website traffic on your blog. People will click your name and check out your website. If you have good content, you might turn the traffic into a reader.
The second great reason to increase website traffic by leaving comments is that you convert traffic to readers and establish relationships with fellow bloggers. No man is an island and one of the strongest parts to making money online is building relationships and networking with your peers. Comment on blogs and you will get a return comment. Both sites benefit by looking more active and alive and getting traffic exchanged between the two sites.
If you do leave comments especially to popular blogs you will see an increase website traffic overnight and after that night it may go back to normal. The key is to be a regular commenter on a few blogs and learn to use big blogs to attract traffic to your blog.
