Ideal Size and Font for Blogger

Ideal Size and Font for Blogger

Font and size are two important factors for creating first impression about your blog.  Both of these should be selected carefully, there is no rocket science involve in the selection of font and Size for blog. You need to follow the world (check famous site’s font and sizes).

1.    Ideal Font

Blogger has solved the problem of font selection, and offer the six fonts. When you create new post, font format may be appearing under F sign.  While blogger itself suggesting the below mentioned format, we should not think anymore.  Millions of people are using blogger; therefore blogger cannot suggest wrong formats.

Arial

Courier

Veranda

Times

Georgia

Helvetica

Trebuchet

2.    Font Prohibited

This freed of choice and no format is prohibited in blogger, you can type any article with any font in word, and copy the article in the blogger post area and post the article.

3.    Ideal Size

Any size below 9 is too small, and size above 11 is too big. I have never visited a site or blog, which has less than 8 font or more than 12 fonts. The font size of 9, 10 and 11 are equally acceptable.

4.    Prohibited Sizes

Any size can be chosen by a blogger, but a rational decision would be between 9 and 11. So effectively there is no prohibition of any size. Size and format guidelines are more like a dressing guideline for good looking, but if someone does not follow the guidelines, then he has a right to decided otherwise (Look ugly).

Ideal Topic for blogging

Ideal Topic for blogging

Ideal topic for a blogging is a million dollar question, however, there are some strategies or approaches are available. Each topic selection strategy has some advantages and disadvantages.  These strategies have been explained below

1.    Many people are Searching

One idea is that, one should write on a topic which has large audience (search queries). It means that you will get some traffic, but critics say that this type of topic would have huge competition for you and millions of articles are already available on the topic, so your article would be appearing in page number 20000 in Google search ranking. No one has visited page number 20,000 for an article till date.

2.    Reasonably Unique Topic

Other strategy for topic selection is a unique topic.  Like why a house flies do not have any defense system like honey bee. This is very interesting topic, but any one searched this topic in last ten years, yeah 2 people in last 10 years. So topic should not be too much unique, rather topic should be reasonably unique.

3.    Fresh News & Developing Stories

Other concept or strategy is to pick up the fresh news of developing story, and update that news for few days, but I think Google would always rank newspaper sites for developing stories, and competing with newspaper sites would not be easy. Moreover, news has short life. (No body has interest after few days), Therefore you need to hundred rather thousand of stories to get desired result (high traffic)

4.    One Word Strategy

Other strategy for topic selection may be the one word strategy. For example you pick up a key word which would have interest of the people for coming ten years, and start writing different articles on this word. For Examples you have choose a word planning (types of planning, advantages of planning, reasons of planning, and so on until article number 100 reach). 

5.    Technical Solution

Other strategy for topic selection is your field of expertise, and you share your problems and experience with people, remember people would be more interested the solution of your problems, because they are facing the same problems, and want get rid of these problems.

6.    Unique Concept

Unique topic may be too much unique, but unique concept has the value. for example you select the topic i.e. fishing methods in the world, so each country would have two to three different fishing methods, so your blog would have 250 countries x 3 method each country= 750 articles or methods. This topic selection concept was unique.

Different people select different strategies, important thing, what would be your choice after reading this article, and once you have selected the option, create a quality content on the topic. my choice would be last three strategies ( one word strategy, unique concept, technical solutions),

Ideal length for a Paragraph

Ideal length for a Paragraph

Ideal length for a paragraph or paragraphs of a blog article should comprise of 3 to 4 lines. The reasons for keeping the paragraphs short have been explained below;

1.    People are Lazy

Many people are lazy in the world and would love to have easy and straight forward answer for their queries. Short paragraphs can serve the purpose. In case of long paragraph they have to make some effort for extracting the desired information.

2.    Google is Spoon feeder

Google search engine act as spoon feeder for many in the world by providing targeted solutions in few lines. This facility would not be available in case of long and lengthy paragraphs. Spoon feeding is loved by many and hates by few.

3.    Comprehension is recognized

If you remember old school days, you were examined in comprehension writing. Comprehension writing importance is recognized all over the world, and therefore all over the world comprehension writing is part of syllabus for schools and colleges.

4.    Time is Money

Time is money, I read somewhere that a billionaire, should not waste time to pick up a $10 currency note, because that time can be utilized to earn $ 100. So for many people in the world, including you, time is important factor, and they cannot afford to waste it by reading long paragraph for simple solutions or answers.

5.    Psychological Reason

There is also a psychological reason for having short paragraph, many people psychologically love short things, and for example many people are very good at answering MCQs, on other hand they perform badly in descriptive type questions. Therefore long paragraph articles are not preferred by many people for psychological reasons.

6.    Looking for Quick Solution

People are looking for simple solution for a problem, which has been explained in few lines (ideally in 3 to 4 lines), more importantly they are looking for a tip, and a tip can be provided in 3 to 4 lines. People are not reading blogs for exam preparation or developing a detailed concept, rather they are looking for quick solution of a problem.

7.    Blog is not story

A blog article is a technical solution of the problem, and it should not be write in story style. It makes sense to have continuity in a story, but technical solution can be more effectively explained in steps (short paragraphs).

8.    English is Foreign language for many

English is a foreign language for many people in the world. Total population of world is 7 billion, and English is a native language of only 1 billion people in the world, other 6 billion people does not have good command over English; therefore they need short and structured paragraph for better understanding.

9.    Sequence of Solution

Many technical solutions are offered in a sequence, and therefore small paragraphs in a sequence provide a logical solution of a problem. For example a person want to change his password in Gmail, then solution or procedure can be effectively explained with help of three to four paragraphs with a sequence. On other hand a twenty line solution for this problem is not recommended.

At the end I would like to mention that all paragraph of this post does not exceed 4 to five lines. Go and check again

Ideal Blog Post Length

Ideal Blog Post Length

Ideal blog article or blog post length mainly depends on subject of articles. Some articles subject may be explained in few hundred words, other subjects may require more than 1000 words.

1.    Does Length Matter

I think length does not matter for search engine, I created on blog with only 180 word and it get top ranking in Google , on other hand I created many blogs with more than 500 word, but these blogs are not appearing anywhere in Google search results.

2.    Minimum Blog Post Length

Length does not matter a lot, but a too short blog is not recommended in any case. You would rarely found any blog article in top ranking with less than 100 words. Therefore minimum blog article length should be 200 words. Again a concept well explained in 200 words has value for search engines.

3.    Maximum Blog Post Length

Many people love targeted solution and not interested in stories. Therefore, any required query can be easily answered in 500 words. Therefore each blog article should be well structure to answer a query in 400 to 500 words. Most of my blog posts do not exceed 400 hundred words.

4.    Too Much knowledge

People read blog article for short answer and target solutions. For detailed analyses or concepts, people love to read books and research paper.  Therefore blog article must be well planned & targeted.

5.    Length Vs Relevance

Blog article should reveal the relevant information of searched articles. It is important to remember that it is not writing competition of long writing, but it is competition of providing right information.

6.    500 Words may be Benchmark

Keeping in view all the above things in mind, recommended blog length is 400 to 500 words. Believe me or not that this is a safe zone, and write quality content with this length can generate traffic for you. I already told you that even a blog with 180 words can be top ranked.

At the end, I would like to mention that this blog contains 290 words only.

Limitations of Online Earnings

Limitations of Online Earnings

When we say online earning, it means creating a quality content on your web site or blog and make money by registering with ad-sense or other web advertising agencies like info links, chatika etc. The limitation of online earning for blog writer and web site owners have been explained below

1.    A Lot of Time

Online earning requires a lot of time for research and creating quality content. This is not about writing only, but quality writing or content is critical for online earning. A quality article may take a couple of days. It means if you are eyeing 100 quality articles for your site and each article takes 2 to 3 days, then, it will take almost 200 to 300 days to develop a quality blog or site with 100 articles.

2.    A Lot of Effort

Online earning requires a lot of effort as well. This is not about writing few articles, you need to write a good number of articles to earn money online. For example you want to earn $ 300 per month, then you need to write at least 100 Quality articles, which attract 50 visit per day i.e. 100x 500= 5,000 Visitor, this will earn approximately 300$ to $500 per month.

3.    Writing is a Skill

Writing is a skill and first of all you need to polish that skill, and then go for writing. It is not easy to explain even simple thing in your own words without such skill. You are required to explain the things in an effective way without copying the words from books and other articles. (Copying is prohibited for online earning)

4.    Google is Decider

Google is leader in online earning, and if Google rejects or disqualify your site or blogger for some technical reasons (you are not following ad sense guidelines). Then your all effort is wasted, because other online earning site is going to frustrate you with their earning rates and policies.

5.    Long Term Dream

Online earning is a long term dream, and people can be millionaire, but such people are one or two out of million people trying to be millionaire. You need a lot of effort and long time to get desired results. Some time it may take several years to generate reasonable traffic for your blog.

6.    Writers are not SEO

Many people just write and does not know how to write (does not apply SEO tips), other people write little, but know how to write (apply SEO Tips), the second one is more successful with little effort.
